Basketball Trivia: a daily basketball quiz for real fans
Five new questions every day. Free, no sign-up needed.
NBA champions, MVPs, scoring leaders, WNBA titles, the Dream Team and the Redeem Team: the basketball daily covers the whole history of the game. Everyone names LeBron and Jordan. The players who score big are the ones who remember the role players and the Finals heroes nobody talks about anymore.
How the basketball daily works
Five prompts a day, each with a whole list of correct answers.
25 seconds per prompt and unlimited guesses. Wrong guesses cost nothing but time.
Your answer scores 20 to 100 points depending on how rare it is among real players. Only the single rarest answer to each prompt earns the full 100 as a Certified Scout.
The basketball daily has its own leaderboard, for today and all-time.
There are 50 basketball prompts in the game, covering the NBA, WNBA and Olympic basketball. A sample, with the answers left for you to find:
