The 'Oldest 35-point NBA scorers' quiz

When Paul George was traded to the Boston Celtics in the blockbuster deal that sent Jaylen Brown to Philadelphia, there was plenty of criticism about acquiring a 36-year-old who has played 70 games just once since 2019-20 for a player who won Finals MVP just three seasons ago.

But with most of the drama surrounding the first clash between Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, it was George who stole the show in his first game back in Philadelphia. The 17-year veteran scored 36 points on 14-of-22 shooting and 6-of-11 from three-point range to lead the way for a Celtics 123-101 victory. 

Through 10 games this year, George has been both healthy and productive, averaging 22.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.1 steals-per-game. As a result, the Celtics are now 9-2 and leapfrogged the Sixers to take an early lead atop the Eastern Conference.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Tuesday was George’s fourth 35-point game since turning 35 years old, tying him in 13th-place all-time. With that being said, can you name every NBA player to score 35 in a game after turning 35?

Good luck!
