The 'Most points in a game for each NBA franchise' quiz

Created on August 5, 2025 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: NaN out of 36 (NaN%) | Quiz FAQ

Happy 60th birthday to San Antonio Spurs legend David “The Admiral,” Robinson!

The Spurs drafted Robinson with the first-overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft out of the United States Naval Academy, and once he returned from his military service, Robinson rewarded the franchise with 10 All-Star selections, eight All-Defensive selections, the 1989-90 Rookie of the Year award, 1991-92 Defensive Player of the Year Award, 1994-95 MVP and two NBA titles.

He also stuck around long enough to help mentor the team’s next No. 1-overall pick to become a Hall-of-Famer in Wake Forest’s Tim Duncan.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Robinson was one of the most dominant individual players of his generation and a cornerstone of Spurs history. With that being said, can you name the player with the most points scored in a game for each NBA franchise?

Good luck!
