The 'Most NBA playoffs made' quiz

Created on March 31, 2026 | Total tries: 39 | Average Score: 21.4 out of 29 (74%) | Quiz FAQ

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers meet on Thursday night with plenty on the line for both LeBron James’ current and former team.

A win for either team officially secures them a spot in the NBA playoffs, ensuring that they won’t have to face the crapshoot of the Play-In Tournament. While neither team is in great danger of falling into the Play-In, both would love to check off the first box en route to a potential championship.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. If/when the red-hot Lakers (who are 12-1 in their last 13 games) clinch their playoff spot, James will tie an NBA-record with 19 trips to the postseason in his career. With that being said, can you name the NBA players to make the playoffs in at least 15 seasons?

Good luck!
