The 'NBA all-time scoring leaders' quiz

Created on February 26, 2026 | Total tries: 55532 | Average Score: 26.9 out of 30 (90%) | Quiz FAQ

The Sacramento Kings returned to their losing ways against the Houston Rockets, but veteran DeMar DeRozan was able to make some individual history by passing Paul Pierce for 20th all-time on the NBA’s scoring list.

While DeRozan hasn’t found much playoff success in his career, he has been a consistently productive scorer everywhere he’s gone. The ninth-overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft has played for four teams so far in his career and hasn’t averaged fewer than 19.7 points-per-game in any stint.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. DeRozan scored 15 points on 4-of-7 from the field and 7-for-8 from the free throw line in the 128-97 loss, giving him 26,406 points in his 17-year career. With that being said, can you name the top-30 scorers all-time in NBA history?

Good luck!
