The 'NBA all-time field goal leaders' quiz

Created on March 6, 2026 | Total tries: 291 | Average Score: 22.5 out of 25 (90%) | Quiz FAQ

The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Denver Nuggets 120-113 on Thursday night, but LeBron James still found a way to make more NBA history. James scored 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field, and in the process passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most field goals made in NBA history.

James passed Kareem in NBA points back in 2023, but now LeBron finally caught up to him in field goals as well, finishing the night with 15,842 made field goals to his name. In his 23rd season and at 41 years old, James is averaging the fewest minutes-per-game of his career (33.1), but is still averaging 21.4 points, 7.0 assists and 6.6 rebounds-per-contest despite missing the first 14 games of the season dealing with sciatica.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the NBA players with at least 9,000-career field goals under their belt can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
