Survey: Who Runs the Most Miles in the NBA?

In the depths of the offseason, with so little news to report, we often go down NBA rabbit holes to uncover lesser-known facts about the league. Today, we’re focusing on the distance NBA players run during games. The league has been tracking this data since the 2013-14 season, allowing us to identify which players have run the most.

It is important to note that the number of games played in the last 11 years has a big impact on a player’s ranking on this list. You’re not going to make it if you entered the league in 2017. It’s an interesting exercise nonetheless, and you can see the results below.

(If you’re wondering who runs the most per game, it’s Scottie Barnes, but that’s a whole other story for another time.)
