How to Play
Climb the Hall of Fame Pyramid one legend at a time
The Goal
The Pyramid features 100 NBA legends ranked from #100 to #1, inspired by Bill Simmons' "Book of Basketball." Your mission is to climb from the bottom (#100) to the top (#1) by defeating each legend's historic performance with today's NBA players.
Daily Challenge
Each day, you face your current legend. They present a historic stat line from one of their greatest games - stats like points, rebounds, assists, or shooting percentages.
You get one attempt per day. Choose wisely!
Pick Your Players
Select 2 NBA players from today's games. Their combined real stats from tonight's games will be compared against the legend's historic line.
- Players lock when their game starts - no changes after tipoff
- If you lose, players from that attempt can't be used again against the same legend
- Check injury reports and game times before picking
How to Win
To defeat a legend, your two players' combined stats must beat ALL of the legend's stat categories.
Example:
Legend's line: 35 PTS, 10 REB, 80% FT
Your players combine for: 38 PTS, 12 REB, 85% FT
✓ You win and advance!
If you miss even one category, you lose and face the same legend again tomorrow with a different historic game.
Climbing the Pyramid
The Pyramid is divided into 6 tiers, each harder than the last:
Pro Tips
- •Check the stat categories before picking - some legends test FG% or FT%, not just counting stats
- •Save your best player combos - if you lose, those players are locked against that legend
- •Later games give more time to see injury updates, but earlier games lock in first
- •Build a streak! Consecutive wins show on the leaderboard
