The 'NBA assist champions since 1976-77' quiz

Created on June 4, 2025 | Total tries: 901 | Average Score: 41.5 out of 49 (85%) | Quiz FAQ

Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton has already delivered plenty of unforgettable moments in the 2025 NBA playoffs. From his game-winning three against the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers to his game-tying long-two that seemed to bounce to the moon before going down against the Knicks in New York in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, he’s stepped up when the Pacers needed him most. While his buckets have been the most memorable parts of the run to the NBA Finals, he’s also been setting his teammates up for success, becoming the youngest player in Eastern Conference Finals history to average at least 20 points and 10 assists-per-game while winning the series.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Haliburton has emerged as one of the elite floor generals in the NBA and his postseason run is putting the rest of the league on notice. With that being said, how many of the NBA’s assist champions since the NBA/ABA merger in the 1976-77 season can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
