The 'NBA Assist Champions since 1976-77' quiz

When Chris Paul joined the Los Angeles Clippers ahead of the 2025 NBA season, it was supposed to be an opportunity for the 21-year veteran to ride off into the sunset. 

But Paul was unexpectedly “sent home,” this week by the franchise he spent 2011-17 with after a reported fallout with head coach Ty Lue. The 40 year old was playing a career-low 14.3 minutes-per-game in 2025, but shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a Udonis Haslem-type role on a contender as he searches for a Finals ring.  

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Paul has been one of the most productive point guards in NBA history without a championship, leading the NBA in assists-per-game five times, steals six times, and 11 All-NBA designations. With that being said, can you name every NBA Assist Champion since 1976-77?

Good luck!
