While it is implied from the list of stats that these are basketball records, you should change the title to indicate whether these records are NBA or NBA/ABA combined.

@mjkelly42 - I updated the note to specify that ABA stats aren't counted. @Devil5231 - it's already in the works right now. It'll probably be up later tonight or tomorrow.

What is a chamber lane? because a chamber is a noun that means a hall used by legislative or judical body, or it can mean a private room typically a bedroom. and a lane is a narrow road usually in a rural area. so a chamber lane must be a room or hall on a narrow road in a rural area. And I didn't know there was a guy called bird! a bird is a warm blooded egg laying vertebrate distinguished by the possession of feathers, wings and a beak and being able to fly. West is also an interesting name. West means the direction toward the point of the horizon where the sun sets at the equinoxes. Kobe is yet another interesting name. It is the name of a port in central japan, on the island of honshu. it's population is approximately 1,477,000 people. and jordan is the name of a country in the middle east. its capital is damascus. it has over 5 million people. I will be quiet now.

@moviegoer74: I'm in the same boat. After guessing Elgin Baylor, I even thought to myself, "I know there's a guy with a similar name," but I just couldn't think of him. On the flip side, I was surprised to find that my joke guess of Kiki Vandeweghe worked!

I love these nasty, juicy NBA quizzes... got 171. I almost always forget contemporary names in these "all-time" quizzes, but I'm furious for letting Mo Cheeks and Harper(s) slip through... and I even typed "Boston Strangler" Andrew Toney and Bill "frickin'" Cartwright...

How the hell are you basing your stats for ft%??? JOSE CALDERON should be halfway up that list if you put Durant on it seeing as Calderon has been in the league 2 years longer. Calderon is an 87% ft shooter

Surprised there was no Julius Erving or George Gervin. I guess it makes sense since they accumulated a lot of ABA stats, but it's still a shock to see Mike Newlin in an all-time NBA quiz and no Dr. J.

@snyderman0306: Career leaders for FT% require a minimum of 1200 free throws made, and Calderon has only made 538.

It really surprises me that more people get Shawn Bradley than Elvin Hayes. I forget Elvin Hayes pretty frequently in quizzes like this myself, but still, 21% seems low for a guy who is top 25 in 4 categories and in the Hall of Fame

Dr. J would be 5th on the points list, 7th on the steals list, 21st on the blocks list, and 22nd on the games list. Surely that deserves to be included on a list like this. While it's true that the ABA was on average slightly lower competition than the NBA, when you look at the elite players they were pretty much on par, so if it were up to me I'd just combine them.

Either Payton's career points are wrong, or he needs to be dropped behind Bird. The total points you have listed now is higher for Bird, yet you have him ranked behind Payton. Otherwise, great quiz.

switzr1 is right, and there are a couple of other cases like that too: Wallace should be over Nance for blocks and Bibby over Richmond for 3s.
