We give you the team and the season. You name the starting five. Simple —
until round three.
KNOW YOUR 5 is the basketball trivia game for people who remember who
actually started — not just who got the shoe deal. 55 iconic team seasons
from 1980 to today, from Showtime to the last championship run.
🏀 HOW IT WORKS
Every game is 5 rounds. Each round shows you a team and a season — your
job is to fill the five spots of the starting lineup.
🟢 EASY MODE
Pick the 5 starters from a list of 15 names. The decoys aren't random:
they're real teammates from that same roster. 1 point per correct starter.
🔴 HARD MODE
No list. Type the names yourself with smart autocomplete. Double points —
50 is a perfect game. Bring your A-game memory.
💡 STUCK?
One hint per game reveals a starter for you.
📊 WHO COUNTS AS A STARTER?
The 5 players with the most games started in that regular season —
official stats, no vibes. Mid-season trades? The end-of-season lineup
rule kicks in (those rounds are marked).
🟩 SHARE YOUR GRID
Every game ends with a Wordle-style emoji grid. Share your score and
let your friends prove they know better. They don't.
