Can You Match These NBA Players To Their Jersey Numbers?

Basketball in the NBA has never been more competitive due to the abundance of talented players. When Bill Russell played in the '50s and '60s, there was far less competition, and only a select few players dominated the league. Today, players such as Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, and Magic Johnson are idolized for their unique talents and expertise at winning NBA Championships. Players today can select a jersey number of a historical player they admire or select a unique one for themselves.

The number 23 is one of the most common jersey numbers used in the NBA because of its representation of Michael Jordan. Players such as Ron Artest, Wesley Matthews, and Quentin Richardson have worn 23 as well as others listed on this quiz. A jersey number won't increase a player's skill, but it will allow other players and fans to identify them.

It is unknown why NBA players rarely pick a basketball jersey number over 55, but it has been suggested it's because large numbers look odd on a basketball jersey.

Test your knowledge of NBA players by guessing their jersey numbers. Only an NBA expert will be able to score higher than 80% on this quiz. Good luck!

Question 1

Can You Identify Stephen Curry's Jersey Number?

The manner in which Stephen Curry has shifted the Golden State Warriors' team dynamics and strategic play, and changed the game of basketball as we know it, will leave a meaningful impact for years to come.

Along with Klay Thompson, he and Stephen Curry make up a duo that has been nicknamed the "Splash Brothers." What is Stephen Curry's jersey number?

Question 2

What Is Kevin Durant's Jersey Number?

It has been made clear by Kevin Durant's NBA Finals MVP award that we have yet to reach the bounds of his talent. Possibly Kevin Durant was under-utilized on the Oklahoma City Thunder judging by his lack of championship wins. He can drive to the hoop and dominate the court like few others. It would not be surprising to see Kevin Durant win another MVP title this year. Kevin Durant maintains the same jersey number on the Golden State Warriors. What is Kevin Durant's jersey number?

Can You Choose Al Horford's Jersey Number?

As a five-time NBA All-Star, Al Horford has played the Center position like few others.

Jeff Teague is one of the league's top Point Guards and currently plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was once made part of the NBA All-Star team in 2015.

Dwight Howard has been an NBA All-Star eight times and an NBA rebounding leader five times.

Question 8

Can You Choose Marc Gasol's Jersey Number?

As a Spanish basketball player, he is one of the NBA's top 10 Centers. Even though iconic Centers such as Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan are now retired, there remain players who are skillful at the position. Height is critical when playing Center and at 7 ft 1 in, Marc Gasol more than exceeds on this front. The Memphis Grizzlies are not performing as well as they did in previous years, but with the competition seen in other teams such as the Houston Rockets, Boston Celtics, and Toronto Raptors, it is not surprising.

Question 9

What Is Taj Gibson's Jersey Number?

Taj is not the top Power Forwards in the league, in fact, there are quite a few that are more skilled than him, but the fact the Timberwolves are having an improved season this year is in part due to Taj. Taj's current number is in an ode to his home neighborhood in Brooklyn. When Taj Gibson first joined the NBA in 2009, he played for the Chicago Bulls and used number twenty-two for his jersey number. What is Taj Gibson's current jersey number for the Minnesota Timberwolves?

Question 11

Can You Identify J.R. Smith's Jersey Number?

Judging by how narrow the lead was when Cleveland beat the Golden State Warriors in game 7 of the NBA Championship game in 2016, they likely wouldn't have won it without J.R. Smith. With J.R. Smith at Shooting Guard, LeBron James at Small Forward, and Kyrie Irving at Point Guard, the team would likely not have succeeded in winning the title. Kyrie has been traded, but the team has now acquired talented players such as Jose Calderon who is also exceptional.

Question 12

What Is Dwayne Wade's Current Jersey Number On The Cleveland Cavaliers?

We have to admire Dwayne Wade's composure and proficiency for coordinating with team members.

George Hill has changed his number during his career but has mostly had this same number. Can you select the correct answer that is George Hill's jersey number?

Question 15

What Is Andre Iguodala's Jersey Number?

There is at least one reason why Andre Iguodala was given the NBA Finals MVP award in 2015. He deftly locked down LeBron James and prevented LeBron from overcoming Golden State. LeBron is a type of player that needs to have two defenders on him at times, and Iguodala gave Golden State relief for this task, allowing them to focus on offense. Iguodala has played on teams such as the Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets, and Golden State Warriors. What is Andre Iguodala's jersey number?

Question 16

Pick Kevin Love's Jersey Number

As a 6 foot 10-inch talented basketball player, Kevin Love plays both Power Forward and Center for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Perhaps Blake Griffin has reached his peak in performance so he'll need to find a better team for a shot at the NBA Championship.

Question 18

Pick DeMar DeRozan's Jersey Number!

It would be difficult to think of the Toronto Raptors without referencing DeMar DeRozan. DeMar has been putting up remarkably high stats in the past few years. Last year, he had a season point average of 27.3! Shooting free throws is a specialty of his since DeRozan can make free throws with a higher than 80% percentage.

They made it to the finals once before but lost in the sixth game to the Cleveland Cavaliers. What is Kyle Lowry's jersey number?

Question 20

Can You Pick Kyrie Irving's Jersey Number

Due to differences in opinions with LeBron James and other reasons, Kyrie Irving left the Cleveland Cavaliers to play for the Boston Celtics.

Question 22

Can You Pick Klay Thompson's Jersey Number?

Klay is part of a duo known as the "Splash Brothers" that consists of he and Stephen Curry. Klay's formidable presence at the three-point line is a contributing reason for why Golden State is as formidable as they are. By allowing multiple three-point shooters on a single line, the Warriors increase their chances of landing three-point shots. With effective strategy, excellent shooting, and strong defensive support, it is no wonder why the Golden State Warriors continue to lead the league.

Question 23

Pick Isaiah Thomas' Jersey Number

As a new addition to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue is hoping that Isaiah Thomas will give the Cleveland Cavaliers some stability at the Point Guard position. The Cleveland Cavaliers appear more impressive than ever with their well-rounded team.

As a Point Guard, he is phenomenal. He also is a nine-time NBA All-Star, seven-time NBA All-Defensive First Team, four-time NBA assists leader, and six-time NBA steals leader. At a mere a 6 ft 0 in, Chris Paul makes us understand that being tall is not necessary for basketball.

Jimmy Butler changed his jersey number after leaving the Chicago Bulls and joining the Minnesota Timberwolves. Which of these numbers is Jimmy Butler's jersey numbers?

Question 27

Question 29

Select Tristan Thompson's Jersey Number

What jersey number does Kawhi Leonard use while playing for the San Antonio Spurs?

Question 31

What Is Draymond Green's Golden State Warrior Jersey Number?
