NBA Stat Pyramid
- There are 5 tiers, each a range in one stat. The title tells you if it’s one season or career totals.
- The lowest empty tier is selected to start. After a fill the selection moves on the way you’re going: up from the bottom, or down if you started higher. Tap any other empty tier to switch. Only the selected tier counts.
- Each player can only fill one tier. Naming him again doesn’t count and costs nothing.
- Fill every tier to finish the pyramid.

What goes into NBA Stat Pyramid boards
Career towers run from 10,000 to 30,000 points, 5,000 to 16,000 rebounds and 3,500 to 10,000 assists.
Single season towers set their bands from that season’s field, so the top band is always within reach of the leader.
Single season rebound and assist towers use season totals, not per game averages.
Career towers can also be steals (1,000 to 2,400) or blocks (700 to 2,700). Both were first counted in 1973-74.
Fewer than a dozen players have 30,000 career points. Only use one on the top tier.
