Steve Nash is one of the greatest point guards in NBA history and one of the greatest ever for the Suns. Nash was a two-time MVP in Phoenix, winning it in 2005 and 2006.
He has the third-most 15+ assists games in NBA history with 110. His career-high in assists is 22, which happened on Jan. 2, 2006, against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Meanwhile, James Harden has 36 games with 15+ assists. Harden qualifies, as he plays for the Sixers, even though he doesn't want to be there. His career-high in assists is 21, which he did last season against the LA Clippers.
