The 'NBA minutes-per-game leaders since 1976' quiz

After playing in just 52 games in the 2024-25 NBA season, Tyrese Maxey seems to be making up for lost time on the court this season. The freshly-25 year old 76ers guard is playing a staggering 40.3 minutes-per-game while averaging a career-high 31.9 points and 7.8 assists-per-contest to lead Philadelphia in all three categories through 14 games. 

Despite the production from Maxey, Philadelphia is 3-3 in their last six games heading into a big early-season clash with the Milwaukee Bucks, who they could be jockeying with all year for playoff positioning. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Maxey is the engine for the Philadelphia 76ers on offense this year and, if he stays healthy, could lead the NBA in minutes-per-game this season. With that being said, can you name the players to average the most MPG in every season since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77 can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
