Seeing Magic so far atop that playoff assist list is amazing. The guy played only about 2/3 of a real NBA career, and he's far and away the #1 in playoff assists. Even the mighty and extremely long-careered Lebron James isn't even close to catching him. An amazing record.
Yeah, Magic is something special. He should get a lot more credit when people are talking about top 5 ever.

And it is telling that Lebron is the only guy in the top 6 that isn't a PG. And the other non-PGs are nearly 1000 assists behind him. crazy.

Is there a way to find how much the line has moved and when? I am curious to see what it was pre and post Scott Foster announcement.

Good chance Paul passes (no pun intended) Larry Bird for 7th on the all-time assist list for NBA playoff basketball in the next two games.

I’m not on the “Suns in fo” craziness, this series could easily go to 6 games, and not even planning parades, injuries can alter any outcome in a pinch. So, a healthy Chris Paul could climb to Top7 after this year.

Maybe you didn't see my comment above this but I think there's a good chance he does it in the next two games.

It would be a shame to lose him but totally understandable. I just don't want to see Paul follow him there and see what he can do with the Pelicans!

I did, and 21 assists on two games is very doable, but he is averaging 8.7 for the playoffs. and the last time he dished over 10 was 6 games ago. I’m aiming for 3 games to get Top 7.

I feel like Magic’s personality/stint as exec with Lakers might have something to do with him getting less mentions. That and recency bias obviously.

Only four teams in NBA Finals history have come back to win after trailing 2-0.

Wasted opportunity. Hope the Suns don't regret that stretch of sloppy play and allowing guard penetration.

Ayton in the game makes an immediate difference. Bedrock for the Suns.

Let's see how the Suns come out in the 3rd, they just could not match Milwaukee's intensity in the 2nd.
