The 'Active NBA players with the most 40-point games in a season' quiz

Created on May 2, 2025 | Total tries: 265 | Average Score: 54.8 out of 58 (95%) | Quiz FAQ

Jalen Brunson lived up to his name as the 2024-25 NBA Clutch Player of the Year in Game 6, snatching Ausar Thompson’s ankles before drilling a three-pointer with five seconds remaining to send the Pistons packing. Brunson finished with 40 points to go with seven assists to clear the first obstacle between them and the franchise’s first NBA finals berth since the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. This was Brunson’s eighth career 40-point game in his NBA playoff career. With that being said, how many of the players with at least six 40-point games in a single NBA season can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
