Name a player who fits the prompt but may not be the first name other fans think of. Less familiar valid answers can earn more points. The name still has to meet every condition in the question.
Ten NBA questions, a 30-second clock and one shot each round. Here's what to do from tip-off to your final score.

Both modes use basketball questions. Your choice changes which correct answers earn the most points.

Aim for a fitting player that many people are likely to recognize. In this mode, an obvious answer can be a strong choice. Use your basketball knowledge to work out what most fans would remember.

Press Play after selecting a mode. Each round asks for an NBA player who belongs to a group, such as an award winner. Check the whole prompt for restrictions about a team, achievement or season before deciding on a name.

Type a player and press Answer. You have 30 seconds. If an entry is not recognized, edit it or try another while time remains. You can also choose Pass and confirm if you want to move on.

A valid answer becomes a one-, two- or three-point shot. A pass or timeout results in a miss. Check the result card, then continue when you are ready. You can skip the shot animation to get to the result sooner.
Points carry through the run. Ten three-pointers make a perfect 30, but every accepted answer puts something on the board. Your result reflects the names you selected and the scoring mode you chose.
