The 'NBA all-time assist leaders' quiz

Created on February 12, 2026 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: 0.0 out of 25 (0%) | Quiz FAQ

James Harden made just a single field goal in his home debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he still scored 13 points and dished out 11 assists in 28 minutes of action in the Cavs 138-113 win over Washington.

The win gave Cleveland their fifth in a row and 10th in their last 11 tries and they sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference heading into the NBA All-Star break. Playing alongside Donovan Mitchell, Harden should embrace more of a playmaking role as he chases his first championship.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Harden’s final assist of the night gave him 8,700 in his 17-year career, 12th-most in NBA history. With that being said, can you name the NBA players with the most all-time assists?

Good luck!
