Jason Kidd on Chris Paul Passing Him for No. 2 on NBA Assist List: ‘Well Deserved, Incredible’
Jason Kidd praises Chris Paul for passing him on the NBA’s all-time assists list, calling it “well deserved” and reflecting on Stockton’s untouchable record.
DALLAS — Chris Paul passed Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd for second place on the NBA’s all-time assists list Sunday night, recording his 12,099th career assist during the San Antonio Spurs’ 121-116 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Kidd, now head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, graciously acknowledged Paul’s accomplishment after Monday’s practice.
“Well deserved, incredible. Future Hall of Fame,” Kidd told DallasHoopsJournal.com. “Had a lot of great teammates. Assists, you need a partner. Congratulations to him and what he’s accomplished, and he’s not done. I don’t know if he can catch (John) Stockton—I don’t think anyone can catch Stockton. But for Chris to be second, that’s big time.”
