    Simpleton. Do you know how to read? It was fast paced, that's the only reason assists numbers were still high. That has nothing to do with the fact that it was harder to get credit for the assist in the 80s and prior eras, and harder to get credit for the assist in the 90s than it is now. If those players played now, they would have more assists. There's no question.

    In 1970 Clyde Frazier had over 10 assists mysteriously added to his box score during game 7 of the Finals.

    In the books he has 19 assists. If you watch the game there is no way he could have over 9, and that
