Created on April 16, 2025 | Total tries: 33288 | Average Score: 22.6 out of 28 (81%) | Quiz FAQ

To say the Dallas Mavericks had a disappointing season would be an understatement. After making the NBA Finals last season, the Maverick shocked the NBA world by trading away Luka Doncic to Los Angeles for Anthony Davis.

Now, they're literally and figuratively limping into the NBA Play-In Tournament as the 10 seed and will almost certainly need two vintage performances from "The Brow," to have any real hope of clinching the final spot in the Western Conference playoffs.

Which brings us to today's quiz. In NBA history, 28 players have scored 50 points in a game on five or more occasions. How many can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
