NBA Honors: Assist Leaders

 
Chris Paul
Chris Paul
2008-09 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 assist at the end of each season.

In 2007-08 and 2008-09 Chris Paul led all players in assists, breaking the monotony of the previous years that were dominated by Jason Kidd (5 times) and Steve Nash (3 times)
