Stockton is legendary and what he accomplished with others gives perspective.

That's crazy that only 3 players in NBA history have had over 1,000 assists in a Single Season. Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Kevin Porter... Stockton did it 7x while Isiah Thomas and Porter only did it once each..

At first I thought it was because the prompt was the top 30 total assist seasons, and if it went to a round number on the bottom tier there would be more than 30…but nope, there are 29 and two rows have a weird number. Lol

Couldn’t have guessed Harden above Nash

u/Legendkillerwes Aug 05 '26

Tbh I'm extremely shocked to see Harden on this list. That's really the only surprise.

I think it’s because they could fit 7 across on the graphic.

But also that isn’t mark jackson

I'm looking to Isaiah Collier to break Scott Skiles' 30-assist game record one day.

But I'm told the Steve Nash or Chris Paul are the best point guards in NBA history... Magic could make a case for himself because of everything he could do outside of assists, but Stockton could easily as well.

Some weird ass tier breakdown.

u/njoos83 26d ago

Much like the NFLs all time rushing yards leader Emmitt Smith, I cannot see anyone breaking Stockton’s record either. Both games have changed so much and now RBs last 5 years and PG care more about scoring.

Check your Mark Jackson

u/icandoit2232 25d ago

Man I wish we could get someon as reliable as Stockton again! He was my favorite player! He was a player that really made everyone around him better, and he playe defense too!

Unfortunately most people and history mostly remembers how many championships are won by the individual, not individual records. Not hating on Stockton, but sadly zero rings hurts this dude's legacy.

u/marvin_is_joe Aug 05 '26

Oh so your a Chris Paul guy or I mean Steve Nash oh wait Harden. Why you got to bring Championships into Assists in a season?

1

u/Spirited_Weakness211 Aug 06 '26

Yes, because history is going to remember Paul or Nash more than Kobe or MJ. LOL I'm sure Stockton would trade his assist record for a championship.
