There’s not many utterly unbreakable NBA records but John Stockton’s assist record is certainly one of them!

Chamberlain's rebound record may be more so, but I agree Stockton will stay on top.

[@Sporty-productions.3]

What about chamberlains 100 points

[@JVL1988]

@@Jdistoogood There's a difference. Stockton played almost 19y in the NBA and barely missed a single game. On top of that he had 10 straight years of averaging double digit assists per game. This record will never be broken for 3 reasons: 1. The current NBA with all its load management will never see another star consistently play 82 per season. 2. The level of longevity of Stockton is extremely rare. Factor in how he kept on throwing dimes at an elite rate until he was 40. 3. Being a floor general isn't sexy in today's NBA. Every guard wants to be Steph, they don't want to be John. The iron man consistency, longevity and elite level of assisting players who manage to finish for 2 decades all reinforces each other. This is an unbreakable record. I don't think you realize how unique Stockton was. He averaged 10.2 assists per game over 1504 regular season games. No one comes even remotely close.

Steve Nash getting literally one more assist than Mark Jackson is crazy

[@snakeplissken7671]

He likely kept playing specifically for that. You can see he was slowing down there. It's a thing baseball players often do too, just stick around a little extra time to crack a certain milestone, then retire. And even though you may find that petty, he actually did play about 80 less games than Mark Jackson, so it's not really that cheesy. So it isn't quite like the Hank Aaron thing where he played almost 800 games more than Babe Ruth and only got 41 more home runs. .285 HR per game for Ruth vs only .233per game for Aaron. But if you check Nash's stats, he played in only 15 games that year. He kinda forced himself to keep playing hurt at the end of the season to get the milestone. They lost all 5 games he played in at the end of the season (they were awful though) and he only cracked 20 minutes in a game once, but he got his milestone. Good for him. Props to Mark Jackson though for being so high on a list with much bigger names. You have to keep looking all the way down to "Andre Miller" for non HOFers below Jackson. So Jackson is the only non HOFer in the top 10. Good memory for his legacy imo for a non HOFer.

Not only is Stock the assist leader he is the steals leader. I think it is interesting that people debate 'who is the greatest PG of all time?' Most people will say 'Magic Johnson'... the interesting thing? Neither Magic Johnson, nor his coach Pat Riley, say Magic is the greatest PG. They both are very clear it is John Stockton. The man averaged a 14+ assist per game double-double average twice in his career. Nobody else has ever even come close to that. Now was Magic a better 'basketball player' and would take Stock in a one-on-one more often than not? Sure. But Point Guard... THAT position on the team... nobody has ever, or will ever do it better.

[@ivorywatts3881]

You have to win something to be the greatest when you just got number that doesn’t turn in to win wilt had a 100 point game average 51 points and 27 rebounds for a season but wasn’t winning anything Russell numbers wasn’t close to that was considered better because he won once wilt started to winning championships and with lesser numbers he was put in the category with Russell Pete Maravich had the numbers didn’t win anything

I don't think the 4 years he took off would have made up the difference (he would have had to average about 18 assists a game). Anything is possible, but to break it someone's going to have to average 10 assists for 80 games for a 20 year career. In other words, no, it's pretty much impossible. Much easier to break LeBron's record because offense is vastly ahead of defense now and someone could average 30 or more a season for a decade (when James is at 27 a game for his career).

I think that will be tough record to break. Most stars are maxing out around 65 games a season 1 and 2 with the money they are making how many are going to want to play 17 to 20 years or good enough to last that long?

[@MultiJejje]

And LeBron would be actually very close if he would have played like this since starting of his career, he changed his game like maybe 7-8 years ago. Would have probably break the record. And he will play most likely like 3 seasons till he retires. Will end up 3-4k assists short so he would have break the record probably if he didn't want to be mostly a scoring machine first 10+ years. This like all the records will be broken.

​@@MultiJejjeLebron's scoring record will get broken before Stockton's assist record.

[@cliffordandersen3190]

I know this list old but damn LeBron in 4th now and westbrook In 9th. Damn wonder if LeBron gonna catch Kidd or Stockden. But if Joker and Luka play long enough they might be top 5 in assists. Even trea young can get up there.

[@ron88303]

I calculated avg. assists per minute for a number of players. Here are some notables: Stockton. 0.33 Nash. 0.27 C Paul 0.27 Doncic. 0.23 Jokic. 0.22 Lebron. 0.19 Curry. 0.19 Magic. 0.19 O. Robertson. 0.18 Bird. 0.16 These are regular-season only.

[@jeffwilliams2828]

Curry isn’t even top 20? He can’t be goat PG then

[@lazyautomation3481]

Andy Phillip's handle was sick!

[@DaytimeNightmare]

Magic shot up soooooo quick 👈

[@andrewgilman7590]

Steve Nash getting 1 more assist than Mark Jackson: "Fuck it I'm done"

[@ron88303]

I prefer looking at assists per minute played. Here are some notables: Stockton. 0.33 C Paul. 0.27 Nash. 0.27 Doncic. 0.23 Jokic. 0.22 Lebron. 0.19 Curry. 0.19 Magic. 0.19 O. Robertson. 0.18 Bird. 0.16 These are regular-season only.

4:55 Magic flying up the list

[@Harry_scoots536]

How low can you hoop go?

[@BeastyDub]

Back in the day anytime, checks screen, Ernie Calverley & Andy Phillip were dropping dimes Butts were in Seats! 😂 The first “passing” of the torch 🔥 if you will 😂

[@frankhoppe1834]

wow I didn't know that Porter and Strickland were that high in the alltime list. They had a great era in Portland with Drexler and Robinson.

[@SDesWriter]

Yeah, Strickland really surprised me. I was such a big fan but back then there was no way to watch him play when you lived in Chicago so I had no idea.

[@SDSOverfiend]

Me looking at Stockton meter: That’s that bullshit John….

[@jacobbey1465]

Cousy and Oscar were up there a long time. And imagine if Magic didn't have to retire early and played 5-7 more years.

[@volourn9764]

No MJ? Weird. No Kobe? Weird.
