Since the start of the season, Chris Paul continues to write his legend. The only member (for the moment) of the circle of 20,000 points and 10,000 assists, the leader of the Phoenix Suns shone again last night.
With 14 points and 18 assists, the former Los Angeles Clippers led his team to victory against the New Orleans Pelicans (112-100). But that’s not all. During this meeting, CP3 became the 3rd best passer in the history of the NBA.
With 10,346 offerings, the native of Winston-Salem is now ahead Mark Jackson and Steve Nash. He just ends up behind Jason Kidd (12,091) and John Stockton (15 806).
“I’m grateful and thank God for this opportunity. I say it all the time, not just about being in a team and still being in the league, but just playing again. that for granted.
When I got into the League, I looked at this list and I saw John Stockton, I was like, ‘I’m going to have it. But the boat sank. This boat has sailed. He left a while ago when I started to miss matches.
But to be third and still play, I’m grateful and I still have a long way to go “, commented Chris Paul facing the press.
At 36, Chris Paul will indeed have a hard time stealing Stockton’s record. But by continuing at his current pace and avoiding injury, the Suns leader can probably tickle Kidd for 2nd position …
Karma: Rockets owner totally messed up on Chris Paul (and he’s paying dearly for it)
