The 'Most games started in NBA history' quiz

Created on April 3, 2025 | Total tries: 9721 | Average Score: 27.6 out of 38 (73%) | Quiz FAQ

After a 19-year NBA career that included 10 All-Star selections, six All-NBA designations, the 2012-13 scoring title and three Olympic gold medals, Carmelo Anthony is heading to the Hall of Fame. After winning a national championship at Syracuse as a freshman, Anthony joined the Association as part of the stacked 2003 draft class featuring LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, and was taken third-overall by the Denver Nuggets. While he was a brilliant individual scorer in the NBA, Anthony’s greatest team successes came on the Olympic stage.

“Most athletes don’t get the chance to say they won one Gold Medal, let alone three,” Anthony said of his career. “I can look back on it and say I had a great career.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. By the time Melo hung up his shoes, he’d amassed 28,289 points, 7,808 rebounds and 3,422 assists while starting 1,120 games over his career. With that being said, how many of the NBA players with the most games started in their careers can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
