The 'NBA all-time assists leaders' quiz

Created on July 1, 2025 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: NaN out of 25 (NaN%) | Quiz FAQ

After losing in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs, James Harden is running it back with the Los Angeles Clippers. Harden is signing a two-year, $81.5 million contract to stay with the Clips with a player option after the first season. “The Beard,” had a bit of a career resurgence in 2024-25 after a tumultuous time with the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 22.8 points (most since 2020-21) and 8.7 assists (most since 2022-23) in 35.3 minutes-per-game. With Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Nic Batum all set to return and the Clippers signing Brook Lopez in free agency, the Clippers are leaning on experience for a shot to get to their first ever NBA Finals.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Harden is one of the most individually accomplished guards in NBA history with 11 All-Star appearances, eight All-Pro selections, three scoring championships, two assists titles and an MVP, but he’s yet to win an NBA championship. With that being said, can you name the players with the most career assists in NBA history?

Good luck!
