The 'NBA's active 50-point scorers' quiz

The Detroit Pistons may not be too happy that they needed double-overtime to defeat the Washington Wizards, but they should be thrilled with the performance they got from Cade Cunningham.

Cunningham dropped a career-high 52 points, dished out 10 assists and didn’t commit a single turnover in 48 minutes of action, becoming the first player in NBA history to finish a game with a 50-10-0 stat line.

The former first-overall NBA Draft pick has helped turn the Detroit Pistons from an afterthought to true contender in the Eastern Conference over the past few years, and now he’s starting to earn his spot as one of the league’s bonafide superstars. Behind his 25.0 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals-per-game, the Pistons are now 8-3 and sit just behind the Celtics and Sixers at the top of the East.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Cunningham became the 48th active player to score at least 50 points in an NBA game. How many of those players can you name in seven minutes?

Good luck!
