Alright, listen up, y’all. We’re gonna talk about them fellas who are good at passin’ the ball in that basketball game, the NBA. You know, the ones who always get the ball to their buddies so they can score. They call ’em “assist leaders,” fancy name for sure.
Now, the bestest passer ever, they say, is this fella John Stockton. Played a long time ago, but he was a whiz at gettin’ that ball to his teammates. He got more assists than anyone, ever! Over 15,000! Can you believe that? It’s like passin’ the mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner a million times. He also was good at stealin’ the ball, sneaky fella.
There’s been other good passers too. This Jason Kidd fella, he was quick, like a chicken runnin’ after a bug. And Steve Nash, smooth as butter, always knew where his teammates were gonna be. And Chris Paul, that little guy, he’s still playin’! All these fellas, they won the assist title, meaning they passed the ball the most in a season, multiple times. Five times, some of ’em! That’s a lot of passin’.
There’s even a team, the Milwaukee Bucks, back in the day, they passed the ball so much in one game, they got 53 assists! That’s like everyone on the team gettin’ a piece of the pie. Must’ve been fun to watch, all that sharin’.
Just this past year, some young fella named Tyrese Haliburton, he was passin’ the ball all over the place for the Indiana Pacers. And that James Harden fella, the one with the big beard, he was good at it too, playin’ for the Philadelphia 76ers. They keep track of this stuff every year, see who’s the best passer. It’s like a competition, who can be the most generous with the ball.
LeBron James, that big fella, he’s up there on the list too. He’s been playin’ forever, it seems like. Strong as an ox, but he can pass that ball real nice. Played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and other teams too. He’s been a big deal for a long time, that LeBron.
Some fellas, they just have a knack for it, you know? Like they got eyes in the back of their heads. They see their teammate cuttin’ to the basket, and boom, they get ‘em the ball. It’s a real skill, not everyone can do it. It’s like knowin’ when to plant the tomatoes so they grow big and juicy.
There’s a whole list of these fellas, the top 30 passers of all time. They got their names and how many assists they got. It’s kinda like lookin’ at the prize-winning pumpkins at the county fair, you see who’s the biggest and best. And they got their average too, how many assists they got per game. Some fellas pass more than others, that’s just the way it is.
And sometimes, a fella has a really good game, passin’ the ball like crazy. This Young fella, I heard he had a game where he got more than 20 assists. That’s a lot of helpin’ his teammates! It’s like havin’ a hen that lays a whole bunch of eggs all at once.
Anyways, that’s the story of them assist leaders. They’re the ones who make the game flow, who get the ball to the scorers. They’re important, even if they don’t get all the glory. It’s like the folks who work behind the scenes, makin’ sure everything runs smooth. They deserve some credit too.
So next time you watch a basketball game, pay attention to the passin’. It’s more important than you think. And remember them names, Stockton, Kidd, Nash, Paul, James… all them fellas who are good at sharin’ the ball.
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits.
