Chris Paul made another milestone less than a month after the NBA’s 75th season.
Paul known continues to cement his status as the Point God after becoming third in the all-time leaders in assists.
Paul registered 18 assists for the Phoenix Suns against the New Orleans Pelicans to surpass former two-time MVP and head coach of the Brooklyn Nets Steve Nash (10, 335 assists).
The veteran now has 10 346 dimes and Jason Kidd with 12,901 and what seems to be an unbreakable record of John Stockton, 15 806 assists in total.
Entering the league, Paul has his eyes set to break Stockton’s record, but he conceded a long time ago.
“I looked at that list when I first came into the league and seeing that John Stockton and I was like, ‘I’m going to get it.’ But that ship sailed. That ship sailed, and it sailed a while ago when I started missing all them games,” he said.
However, he is still grateful to become third all-time and still playing at the highest level.
Paul earlier this month also became the first player in NBA history to reach 20,000 points and 10 000 assists.
