San Antonio Spurs veteran Chris Paul is having a big night.
On Sunday, the 12-time All-Star surpassed Jason Kidd for the second-most assists in NBA history—a total of 12,092, one more than Kidd's 12,091. He is now behind only John Stockton, the league's all-time assist leader with 15,086 dimes. Outside of the top three are Lebron James, with 11,219 assists, and Steve Nash, with 10,335.
Paul reached the milestone off a pass to Victor Wembanyama, who then sunk a three against the New Orleans Pelicans.
CP3 to Wemby.
