NBA Top 10 All-Time Assists Leaders

#2 Jason Kidd

J-Kidd ranks second on the NBA's all-time list of steals

He was selected with the second pick of the 1994 NBA draft by the Dallas Mavericks and traded to the Phoenix Suns two years later. Kidd was as complete a basketball player as could be, which is evident from the fact that he was a 5-time All-NBA first team member and also a 4-time NBA All-Defensive first team member.

Apart from his remarkable ability to pass the ball - which made him lead the league in assists in 5 seasons during his career - Kidd's rebounding prowess made him a regular triple-double threat. He contributed in a major way in the Mavericks' title run in 2011 mainly because of his exceptional point-guard superpowers and some long-range shooting.

A 10-time All-star and key member of the 2008 Men's Olympics basketball 'Redeem Team'(USA failed to capture gold in 2004) which won the Olympic gold, his greatness was finally recognized by the NBA as he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2018.

Currently, Kidd ranks 2nd on NBA's all-time assists list with 12,091 assists and also 2nd on the all-time steals list with 2,684 of them stacked against his name.
