Could Kobe Have Been All Time Assist Leader?

[AintNoSunshine]

Has this ni99a ever even had 2 straight double digit assit game in 19 year? He's even too tired to get that 15 assists that he needs to take a game or two off

No playoffs. No story.

Sorry kobe but if your not in the playoffs your about as interesting as Oladipo or Rubio. No one said you have to win the ship but if your not even going to give yourself a chance then there is nothing to look at anymore. Last time Kobe was interesting was in 2011 trying to 3-peat but instead got swept. Like who tries to 3peat and gets swept?

If Kobe was Passbe from the beginning instead of 81be he'd easily be the assist leader. I'd rather him be the all time leader in points than assists though.

[CakeorDeath]

Given the number of games Kobe has played, he'd have to have averaged 12.35 assists per game to have the record by this point.

Stockton's career average was 10.5. Magic's was 11.2. Jason Kidd's best single season was 10.4. Steve Nash's best single season was 11.6.

Good luck, pass-first Kobe who never existed.

He wouldn't be the leader, but he would be top 3 if he focused on passing his whole career.
He wouldn't have more than one ring though, great iso players are the key to winning a championship

anyone that actually believes this is either
A. Keen for a kobe soggy sayo
B. Missing a chromosome

Saying that if he was in a position to have tried.. not only would he have missed 13k+ shots.. he would have 13k+ turnovers

13kBe.. only player in history to miss 13k shots and 13k turnovers lol

13KBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

he had 3 10+ assist games in a row in the 2010 Playoffs in the WCF against Phoenix, averaging 32/7/11 on 55/45/88 shooting in those games.

and he had b2b triple doubles in 2003 season with Shaq injured, averaging 33/15/12 on 62/38/90 shooting in those games.

And even from this season, he had b2b 10+ assist games with the 30+ pt triple double and the game vs Pistons...

Dude's averaging 9 apg in his last 7 games, hasn't had a single game with less than 6 since that Sacramento game...and no 0 assist games yet.

Turnover machine

Turnover machine

which is ironic, because Malone holds the record
