Minute (basketball)
A minute is a unit of time in a basketball game.Technically, just a minimum of one second in silo (1-59) would count as one minute of playing time.For example, there are forty-eight minutes in each NBA basketball game, excluding overtime.LeBron James is the all-time leader in minutes played with 57,578 as of December 30, 2024. , Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (57,446), Karl Malone (54,852), Dirk Nowitzki (51,368), Kevin Garnett (50,418), Jason Kidd (50,111), and Elvin Hayes (50,000) are the only other players with 50,000 or more minutes played in a career.[2] Most of Abdul-Jabbar and Hayes's minutes can largely be attributed to the amount of playing time that star players had in the late 1960s and early-to-mid 1970s.
