NBA’s All Time Career Assist Leaders
It was a sad day for me when John Stockton retired in 2003. The king of assists had over 15,000 in his long career. The funny thing about assists is, you must have that other superstar on your team to cash in. In the case of Stockton, he had Karl Malone, the second leading all time scorer. Nobody is even close to the accomplishent that Stockton has achieved and I doubt in today’s game, that John’s record will standup to the test of time. The list below contains the top fifteen all time leading assist leaders of the NBA.
