NBA Honors: Assist Leaders |

Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings
9 times each had the Assist Leader |
Since the 1969-70 NBA season, the assist leader is the player with the best assists per game average. Previously, from 1946-47 through the 1968-69 season, the NBA assist leader was the player with more total assists at the end of each season.
Utah Jazz is at the top of this list thanks to just one player, the NBA All-time assist leader John Stockton. Of course, Stockton's teammate and second all-time top scorer Karl Malone had something to do with it. |
