In last night’s win against the Lakers, Chris Paul added to his Hall of Fame-worthy resume and showed why he is legendary.
Paul became the sixth player in NBA history to reach 10,000 assists (10,004 after the W) as well as the second youngest to do it.
Only John Stockton (15,806), former Phoenix distributors Jason Kidd (12,091) and Steve Nash (10,335), Mark Jackson (10,334) and Magic Johnson (10,141) have reached this amazing milestone.
It came about midway through the third quarter. CP3 brought the ball down the left side, sprinted off a double screen at the top of the key and lofted a perfect lob up to the big man Deandre Ayton who emphatically slammed it home.
