How to play Career Path

Career Path is a daily sports guessing game built on real career histories from hoopR NBA data by sportsdataverse and nflverse. You see every team a real, well-known player suited up for, in order and with the seasons, then choose who it is from four players of the same sport with similar career lengths.

Choose NBA or NFL, then read the ordered list of teams and seasons for today's mystery player.
Look for clues in the order: long stays, quick moves and relocated franchises all narrow it down.
Pick one of the four players offered — all are real players from the same sport.
You get one pick. The answer is revealed as soon as you choose.

Scoring

A correct pick scores 100 points and a miss scores 0. No player repeats as the daily answer within 180 days, and every option comes from the same sport.

Tips

Count the seasons first — the decoys have careers of similar length, so the teams are the real tell.
Trades and late-career moves to contenders are often the most memorable part of a career.
Team names appear exactly as listed in the source data, including old franchise names.
Compare notes with your group only after everyone has played, since one pick decides the day.
