The 'Most NBA games played' quiz

LeBron James made his NBA debut at 18 years old on Oct 29, 2003, scoring 25 points and dishing out nine assists in almost 43 minutes of action in a 106-92 loss to the Sacramento Kings. 

22+ seasons and 1,611 games later, he passed Boston Celtics legend Robert Parrish to set the NBA’s new all-time record for games played. 

Now 40 years old, LeBron isn’t playing 40+ minutes-per-game very often anymore, but he’s still able to contribute while taking a back seat to Luka Doncic. After missing the first chunk of the season while dealing with Sciatica, James has averaged 21.1 points, 6.8 assists and 5.8 rebounds in a career-low 33.4 minutes-per-contest this season. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. 50 NBA players have appeared in at least 1,200 games in their career. How many of those players can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
