The Top 10 Quiz gives you an all-time NBA stat category — career points, career rebounds, career assists, career threes made, and so on — and asks you to name every player on the official top 10 leaderboard. Type a player's last name (or full name) into the input. Each correct guess fills in their slot with their stat total and rank. You have a fixed number of guesses, and every wrong name burns one. The round ends when you've cleared all 10 slots or run out of attempts. There's no time pressure — you can think as long as you need. Your final score is the count of slots you filled before exhausting guesses, with bonus weight for filling tougher (lower-rank) slots that most players miss.
The Top 10 Quiz is the airball.gg game most rooted in deep NBA history. Categories rotate through every meaningful career stat — total points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, three-pointers made, plus more obscure leaderboards like career double-doubles or all-time playoff scoring. Because cumulative leaderboards reward longevity, you'll see players who logged 18+ seasons (Kareem, Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki) far more than per-game superstars who burned out early. That's part of what makes the game interesting: the all-time list isn't a list of the best players, it's a list of the most durable elite ones. New categories drop every day, and active players continue to shake the leaderboards in real time. The Top 10 Quiz is the only airball.gg game with no era restriction — stat leaders by definition span every decade.
If you're looking for an NBA Finals quiz or an MVP NBA quiz, the Top 10 Quiz rotates through both — finals scoring leaders, MVP voting share, and finals MVP win counts all show up alongside the standard career-stat leaderboards. Each daily category is one of dozens we cycle through, so the answers you need today won't be the answers you need next week. Here are some of the recurring categories you'll see:
How often does a new Top 10 Quiz drop?
Every day at midnight in your local timezone. One new stat category per day, refreshed automatically.
Are players from any era included?
Yes — the leaderboards span the entire history of the NBA from the 1950s to today. Pre-shot-clock players (pre-1954) are mostly absent because volume stats were lower in that era, but anything from Wilt and Bill Russell forward is on the table.
How is my score calculated?
Each correct slot you fill counts for one point, with a small weighted bonus for filling lower-ranked slots (rank 8–10) that most players miss. Filling all 10 earns the maximum score plus a streak bonus.
Do past quizzes count toward my streak?
No. Only the current day's quiz counts toward your daily streak. Past puzzles are playable for practice but won't unlock streak rewards.
Can I include active players or are they capped at retirement?
Active players are absolutely included — Curry, LeBron, Durant, Giannis, Jokic and others appear on most cumulative leaderboards and the list updates as their career numbers climb.
