Suns point guard Chris Paul became the third player in NBA history to reach 11,000 assists in Phoenix's 112-95 road win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Paul becomes only the third player in NBA history with 11,000 assists with all-time leader John Stockton and Jason Kidd being the other two.
In his 18th NBA season, Paul now has 11,009 career assists as he dropped 11 Sunday. Through three games this season, Paul had 32 assists for the 2-1 Suns. “How many times have we been given a ball so we can give it to him,” Suns coach Monty Williams said. “To be in a room with a guy like that who has accomplished so much, it’s humbling to be straight. I look at him and I’m just like, holy smokes, man, I get to coach Chris Paul and we get to enjoy some of these achievements with him."
