Chris Paul, playing for the San Antonio Spurs, has surpassed Jason Kidd to become the second-highest assist leader in NBA history with 12,092 assists. Paul achieved this milestone during a game against the New Orleans Pelicans. His final assist to secure the record was an inbound pass to Victor Wembanyama for a three-pointer. Paul, at 39, has now recorded 9 double-doubles this season, placing him in the top 20 for most double-doubles. This achievement comes five years after Paul contemplated his longevity in the league, and now he stands just behind John Stockton on the all-time assists list. In addition to his assist record, Paul has also reached 600 games with 10 or more assists, a feat only surpassed by Stockton.
