How Guess The NBA Player works
Search a player. Type any NBA name and pick it.
Green, amber or grey. Green matches, amber is close, grey is no match. Arrows point to the answer.
Spend your hint. After five guesses, reveal the division, team or draft year.
Finish in ten. Give Up shows the answer but counts as a loss.
