The 'NBA all-time leading scorers' quiz

After two rough seasons and failing to find a trade partner, the Sacramento Kings/DeMar DeRozan partnership is officially over with the Kings and the 17-year veteran agreeing to a buy-out. 

While the Kings didn’t exactly rack up the W’s during the DeRozan era – going a combined 62-102 – it wasn’t because the six-time All-Star phoned it in. He played in 77 games each season for Sacramento, and while his 18.4 points-per-game were his fewest since 2012-13, he could still be a very valuable role player for a contender. 

An interesting landing spot for him would be Toronto, where he played the first nine years of his career before getting traded to San Antonio for Kawhi Leonard (who they traded for once again this offseason) ahead of the 2018-19 campaign that ended in the Raptors first NBA title. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. While DeRozan’s teams have been mired in mediocrity more often than not over the last eight years, he’s quietly reached 16th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. With that being said, how many of the NBA’s top-30 scorers can you name in five minutes? 

Good luck!
