Created on February 26, 2026 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: 0.0 out of 30 (0%) | Quiz FAQ

Happy 65th birthday to seven-time NBA All-Star, three-time NBA champion and 1987-88 Finals MVP, James Worthy!

Worthy was selected first-overall in the 1982 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers out of North Carolina, and he’d spend his entire career in Purple and Gold. He was part of the legendary Lakers teams also featuring Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that won titles in 1984-85, 1986-87 and 1987-88.

Worthy’s most notable performance came in the 1987-88 Finals against the Detroit Pistons, where he averaged 22.0 points and 7.4 rebounds-per-game, dropping 36 in a 108-105 Game 7 victory en route to the Finals Most Valuable Player award.

Worthy retired after the 1993-94 season and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Worthy still ranks 30th all-time in points scored in the NBA playoffs with 3,022. With that being said, can you name every NBA player with at least 3,000 playoff points in their career?

Good luck!
