The 'NBA assists-per-game leaders by season' quiz

Created on May 8, 2025 | Total tries: 154 | Average Score: 41.1 out of 49 (84%) | Quiz FAQ

Tyrese Haliburton was voted the most overrated player in the NBA by an anonymous poll of players, but he sure isn't looking like it against the Cleveland Cavaliers. After a 22-point, 13-assist double-double in the Game 1 win he added another 19 in Game 2 -- including a cold-blooded step-back three-pointer after getting his own rebound off of a missed free throw with one second left.

After his heroics, Haliburton told the league and Cleveland fans to "Overrate that."

Which brings us to today's quiz. Haliburton is showing the ability that earned him two All-Star appearances on the gold medal winning 2024 Olympic Team. With that being said, how many of the NBA players to lead the league in assists per game since the NBA-ABA merger can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
