Created on March 2, 2026 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: 0.0 out of 28 (0%) | Quiz FAQ

Happy 28th birthday to six-time NBA All-Star, five-time All-NBA selection, 2021-22 Eastern Conference Finals MVP and 2024 NBA champion, Jayson Tatum!

After leading the Boston Celtics to their first NBA title since 2008 in 2024, the Celtics’ title defense all-but-ended when Tatum ruptured his achilles in the Eastern Conference semifinals. But with the Celtics gearing up for another postseason run, they might be getting their franchise cornerstone back on the floor sooner than expected.

NBA Insider and famous Boston fan Bill Simmons suggested the former third-overall NBA Draft pick could be back by the end of the week.

“All signs are pointing to Friday against Dallas,” Simmons said.

Reports have trickled in throughout the season on Tatum’s progress, and ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that he returned to 5-on-5 scrimmages on Feb 25.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. An NBA player has scored at least 600 points in a single postseason on 28 occasions. How many of the players to achieve that feat can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
