One of the big upsets in the assists category was Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets.  Paul excelled his game into a superstar status all season long.  He overtook Steve Nash who was the assist king for the last 3 years.

The age of the two dominant passers, Nash and Kidd, will probably being coming to an end.  The talent of Chris Paul and Deron Williams will most likely keep them at the top of the leaderboard in the assists category, albeit that they stay healthy and injury free.  The abilty of these two point guards will make an intense rival for years to come.
