NBA Darts
- You start with a target number in one stat. It can be one season, whole careers or a run of seasons.
- You get 7 throws. Each throw is a player, and his number comes off what’s left. The stat can be points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks or 3-pointers per game, or total points. Boards that cover a career or a run of seasons use totals.
- Get down to the finish number on the board, or below it. A throw that would take you under zero is a bust: the throw is used and your number stays.

What goes into NBA Darts boards
Single season boards use points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks or threes per game, or total points. Career boards and boards for a run of seasons use totals of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
Per game boards only count players who played half the season’s games.
Career boards only count NBA games, so older stars’ ABA years are left out.
Per game numbers are small, so one big name can bust you. Lead with medium throws.
About the data
NBA seasons 1991-92 to 2025-26, from ESPN.
Why 1991-92? ESPN’s older NBA leaderboards leave out real stars, like Larry Bird in 1984-85, so a right answer could count as a miss.
Stat terms
- Per game:
- a season average. Players need enough games to be ranked.
- PPG / RPG / APG:

- Double-double:
- a game with 10 or more in two of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
