The 'NBA minutes leaders by season' quiz

Created on August 5, 2025 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: NaN out of 30 (NaN%) | Quiz FAQ

After helping the New York Knicks get back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1999, Mikal Bridges is sticking around. Bridges signed a four-year, $150 million contract extension with the Knicks, who are heading into the 2025-26 season with a new head coach in Mike Brown. Bridges came to the Knicks via trade in the 2024 offseason, with New York sending five first-round draft picks to the Brooklyn Nets for the Villanova product. Now, his place is set on a contender in a wide-open Eastern Conference through 2030.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Bridges has averaged 14.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists-per-game and has been one of the most reliable players in the NBA since being drafted in 2018 – leading the NBA in games played five times and total minutes three times. With that being said, how many of the players to lead the NBA in total minutes every year since the 1995-96 season can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
