NBA Top 10 All-Time Assists Leaders

#3 Steve Nash

Steve Nash is an 8-time NBA

All Star

Steve Nash is considered to be one of the best(if not THE best) point guards the game has ever seen. His behind the back no-look passes amid heavy traffic in the paint were a marvelous sight to witness.

All eyes were pinned on him when he captured NBA Most Valuable Player(MVP) award in 2005, averaging 23.9 points and 11.3 assists per game, also leading the league in assists that very season. He was the NBA leader in assists for four more seasons after this, including his career-high 11.6 assists per game in 2006–07. Not to forget, he won the MVP award in 2006 as well, averaging 20.2 points and 10.2 assists per game. He missed the MVP trophy by a whisker in 2007 to Dirk Nowitzki, which(if won) would have put him in the same class as all-time greats Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Larry Bird.

Nash has an all-time top 10 career assists average with 8.2 apg throughout his time in the NBA. He has 10,335 assists and is placed at the 3rd spot on the all-time assists list, with the next active player in Chris Paul lagging behind with some 1,500 dimes less.

Steve Nash never won an NBA Championship, but that didn't stop the league from recognising his greatness, as he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018.
