The 'Multiple 2K-point NBA seasons' quiz

Good news, Boston Celtics fans: he’s back. 

10 months after tearing his achilles against the New York Knicks in the 2025 Eastern Conference semifinals, Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is expected to return to the court on Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks. 

Mavs star rookie Cooper Flagg, who recently returned from an eight-game absence himself, talked about his first-career matchup with the 2024 NBA champion and fellow Duke one-and-done.

“Tatum was one of the guys I grew up watching. I kind of modeled my game after him, watching him from Duke to the league,” Flagg said

“His whole recovery process has been nothing short of incredible.”

While the Celtics have been good this season without Tatum, sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference, their 118-89 drubbing at the hands of Charlotte earlier this week showed they could absolutely use him. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Tatum is one of 47 players since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77 with multiple 2,000-point seasons to their name. How many of those players can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
