And this is tricky.

They were 56-26 in 98 and 37-13 in 99, who is good enough to 60 wins in a 82 game season.

So it would been 20 years in a row.

He has averaged 9.5 for his whole career. Stockton averaged 10.5. This is a whole apg.
Only one player has averaged more than Stockton. This was Magic Johnson.

And in case you could average 10.5 apg, you have to play more than 1504 games. Only 4 players did it.

Seems pretty undoable.

Paul is right now almost 37 and with 10894 assists in 1148 games.

He is 4912 assists to go. At 9.5 apg he is 517 games away. He should play 6 complete seasons and 1st half of another. Altough this year is dishing 10.7 apg, he was not arriving to his average the last 5 years. And he only has played 82 games one season in 17 years.

Moreover, when Magic retired Stockton had a higher apg.
He only passed him again because Stockton had many post prime years player less minutes (and still being higher in assx36min)


Magic had higher APG for the career than Stockton even when Magic retired but by 94 Stockton had lifted his averages to past Magic's averages. After 97 those started to come slowly down to earth obviously. But yes, if Magic hadn't retired early it's pretty safe to say Stockton would be leading this category as well. however if Magic could have had full length career I wouldn't be surprised if he finished closer to 15,000 assists as well. Not that far off Stockton.

You're right, I will correct my statement. Stockton had a higher apg when he played as many games as Magic did in his career

It’s the fact that it’s 20000 different that make this a challenge- you can’t waste a single minute on a repeat appearance if you dare to obtain this lofty goal. Spit game-In-out-move on...like a machine...emotionless

Phil Jackson is 48-0 in his career when he won game 1 in a playoffs series!
