Spurs all time assists leaders

[ElNono]

Just goes to show the Spurs never had top of the line PGs...

[will_spurs]

Of course


AJ didnt play his whole career in SA

lol record *

AJ in SA = 4,474 (9 seasons)
AJ total = 5,846 (15 seasons)

Roughly 500 per season in SA and 230 per season elsewhere...

3 more seasons (at most) and TP will have more career assists than AJ.

Right because distributing the ball and making the game easier on your teammates by allowing them to score easier translates to winning less. Boy Magic Johnson, you sure screwed over your teammates with your passing abilities. To think how much they could have won without you passing the rock. Oh, and screw you Oscar Robertson for sharing the ball.

Wow, talk about comparing apples with oranges. Magic played to his strengths, those strengths which made him one of the greatest basketball players the planet has seen. Those strengths just happened to be leading one of the best offensive teams of all time with his distribution abilities. That's what the team called for, that was the dynamic. Huge difference, smh.

I agree, Tony should of been running around "setting up teammates" instead of feeding the rock to the greatest PF of all time in block, blitzing teams off the dribble in isolation and PnR plays and deferring to Manu for the good of the team. He should of been hero dribbling and trying to get his assist numbers and playing an unnatural style of game for him.

Magic was a champion 24 years ago and at 6'8 he was not exactly the typical point guard.
I can't get why people are so obsessed with pass first PG when the last NBA champion with 10+ APG is Magic.

Actually, ANY top assisting PG would have fewer assists in San Antonio. As long as you have a Manu Ginobili type SG, the PG will not have the ball in his hands all the time. The last two years, Manu has averaged 4.9 apg. Another thing, Tony starts the ball movement and it might consist of 3 or 4 passes and who ends up with the ball either Tim or Tony. It is when the passing get stagnant that the Spurs have a hard time scoring.

Since i bought tickets from a friend who couldn't make it, I would love NOTHING more than to see Tony break the record today. Then I can tell my grandkids all about how back in my day, I used to watch the Spurs all-time assist leader and Finals MVP in action.

Then bring on the jersey retirement against Minny

[007nites]

I thought Timmy would be the first to the assist record lol.

[sonic21]

he would've gotten this record long time ago if manu wasn't such a ballhog.

Congrats Tony!
