30 isn't an entirely untouchable mark - John Stockton set a career-high of 28 assists in the '90s, and Rajon Rondo leads a pack of modern players who have exceeded 20 assists in a game. Pace is at a 30-year high in the NBA and players have more chances per game to approach this milestone, but it will still be nearly impossible for any player to reach it.
