Russell Westbrook III moves into fifth all-time in career assists
by David Leisering | Kings Correspondent | Wed, Mar 18th 9:44am EDT
Russell Westbrook III scored five points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3PT, 1-2 FT), grabbed one rebound, and handed out a team-high 10 assists in Tuesday's loss to San Antonio.
Fantasy Impact:
With his 10 assists on Tuesday, Westbrook moved into fifth place on the NBA's career assist leaderboard, passing both Mark Jackson and Steve Nash on the night. Westbrook has 10,343 career dimes and trails only John Stockton (15,806), Chris Paul (12,552), Jason Kidd (12,091), and LeBron James (11,909) on the all-time leaderboard. Westbrook, 37, is in his 18th NBA season and has totaled 418 assists this year. Maintaining the pace he is on this season, he would need to play about four more years to move any higher on the list - not out of the question, but highly unlikely.
