In basketball, an assist is a statistic that credits a player for a pass that directly leads to a made basket by a teammate. The player who makes the pass is awarded the assist if the recipient scores the basket without any significant interruption, such as dribbling or excessive delay. Assists are important because they reflect a player's ability to facilitate teamwork, enhance ball movement, and create scoring opportunities for others.
As of my last update in October 2023, the NBA assists leaders for the current season or all-time statistics may have changed, so I am unable to provide the most current rankings. Historically, players like John Stockton, Jason Kidd, and Chris Paul are known for their exceptional assist records.
