NBA Honors: Assists Leader

Since the 1969-70 NBA season, the assist leader is the player with the best assists per game average. Previously, from 1946-47 through the 1968-69 season, the NBA assist leader was the player with more total assists at the end of each season.

John Stockton - who is the All-time assists leader - is at the top of this list. He led the NBA 9 consecutive times. Of course, Stockton's teammate and second all-time top scorer Karl Malone had something to do with it.
