I was unfortunately two years too early on making this YouTube video.

Hope KAT finishes this.

Two weeks ago I made a daily NBA game.

It's called Starting 5.

You get a random team from NBA history and have to name the 5 starters.

5 guesses.
Hints unlock as you go.
Perfect score is 1000.

Since launch we’ve amassed 100k page views, 32k plays. and 1,600 free accounts created.

It feels like a fever dream, but we are just beginning.

Today's lineup is the 2012-13 OKC Thunder.

If you grew up on this league, random teams from your childhood will hit you out of nowhere.

Would love for you to give it a try today :)

Knicks fans, it’s your moment.

New York up 2-0. Game 3 tomorrow night.

So naturally, today's Starting 5 is the 2012-13 Knicks.

Bet you can't get all five starters. 🏀

@nickbomb_ Can you walk me through how to do this in DMs lol

[Matt Throne @Matt_Throne]

I am humbled by this explosion today. Went from 500 daily players to 6,000 in a couple hours.

Thank you all!

[Starting 5 @PlayStarting5]

You guys are blowing Starting 5 and it means the world.

What else do you want to see to make your daily NBA ritual even better!?

[Starting 5 @PlayStarting5]

Who wants this!?!?

[Matt Throne @Matt_Throne]

Today’s team…

[Starting 5 @PlayStarting5]

A little over a week ago I made a daily NBA game called Starting 5.

Every day you get a random team from NBA history and you have to remember it’s 5 starters.

You get 5 guesses.

First one’s blind, then you unlock hints as you go. A perfect score is 1000.

Over 4,500 people have played so far which is wild to me.

If you grew up watching this league you’ll get way too into it.

Have you tried it yet?

Working on some new features soon like “play yesterday’s puzzle” and a hard mode.
