Only record-holder John Stockton stands ahead of Chris Paul, who records the 12,092th assist of his illustrious career to claim sole possession of No. 2.

By the time Sunday’s game concluded, Paul had added seven more dimes to the milestone third assist. He reminisced about sharing point guard duties with Kidd on the gold medal 2008 U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team and the challenge of numerous battles against a great passer who enjoyed a considerable size advantage, 6 foot 4 to his 6-0.
