The 'Multiple 20-assist NBA games' quiz

After a 21-year career, future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul has called it a career. The 12-time All-Star and five-time assist champion announced his retirement following his trade from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Toronto Raptors at this year’s trade deadline. 

After Paul started 82 games for the San Antonio Spurs last season, the future Hall of Fame point guard tried to give it a go for one more season. He returned to the Los Angeles Clippers this offseason, where he played from 2011-17, but after a disastrous start to the year was sent home and eventually traded to Toronto. Rather than sit on the bench north of the border, the 40 year old decided to hang it up. 

In addition to his All-Star seasons and assist titles, he also led the NBA in steals-per-game six times, was selected to an All-NBA team 11 times and made nine All-Defensive teams. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Paul retires as one of the NBA’s best-ever passers with 12,552 assists (second-most all-time) and four 20-assist games to his name. How many of the players in NBA history to dish out 20 assists in a single game multiple times can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
