Spurs guard Chris Paul on Friday joined John Stockton and Jason Kidd as the only players in NBA history to reach 12,000 career assists.
"I remember the first time I played in Utah, and I looked up and saw John Stockton was the all-time assists and steals leader, and I was like, 'I'm gonna catch that,'" Paul said."That was a lie. But to be second behind John Stockton is really cool.
"Wow, that's such a big number," Wembanyama said of Paul's 12,000-assists milestone."It's hard to imagine how much you need to average for how many years . Eventually, every player, we want to see our names up there one day. It's just incredible." "The first thing I say in any of these situations you go into, you've got to show guys that you can hoop," Paul said of joining a young team."I don't go in there trying to be anybody's coach. They want to see what you do now, right? That's why I've trained and worked the way I work because you can tell them all you want to tell them. But they want to see it.
