The “Point God” was already a legendary player, but his legacy was cemented on Sunday night.

San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul snatched the No. 2 spot on the all-time assist leaderboard, passing Jason Kidd, after dishing out his third dime of the night in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

He reached the mark with 7:06 left in the first half, finding phenom Victor Wembanyama on the perimeter on a sideline out-of-bounds play, setting up the big man in open space for a three-pointer.

It was the 12,092nd assist of his long and illustrious career, spanning 20 seasons and a shelf jam-packed with individual accomplishments.

After failing to collect an assist in the opening quarter against New Orleans, Paul had three assists in the first five minutes of the second quarter to achieve the milestone.

Paul, 39, is the five-time assist champ, leading the league in helpers from 2007-2009 with the New Orleans Hornets, then again from 2013-15 with the Los Angeles Clippers, and once more in the 2021-22 campaign with the Phoenix Suns.

He averaged over 10 assists seven times, and though his career-high mark of 11.6 in the 2007-08 season only ranks him 24th all-time, his decades-long career has been the epitome of consistency, showcasing an affinity for raising the floor of the teammates around him.

Despite being in his 20th year, Paul’s playmaking has remained in the top five league-wide at 8.5 assists per game.

“Yeah, it is wild,” Paul said after Friday’s loss to Sacramento. “I mean, five years ago I had seen that number and it’s like, ‘Man, you going to play long enough to do that?’ Seriously. I mean, I remember being a rookie, I said that before, looking up in Utah, seeing John Stockton all-time steals and assist leader. So, yeah, it is kind of crazy. I mean, I’m grateful for the opportunity to still continue to play.”

Paul is also third all-time in steals with 2,646 and Kidd in second at 2,684.

Standing in his way atop the leaderboard is John Stockton, with a seemingly untouchable mark of 15,806 assists which he racked up over a Hall of Fame 19-year career.

Paul has dimed up a star-studded cast of players, with Blake Griffin atop the leaderboard with 1,157 field goals courtesy of Paul from their time together on the Clippers. David West comes in second with 1,120 from when they played on the Hornets. Now-Lakers head coach JJ Redick rounds out the top three with 634 helpers.

Paul played four seasons in New Orleans, back when the franchise was known as the Hornets, after he was selected with the fourth pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. He was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, where he spent six seasons before moving on to Houston, Oklahoma City, Phoenix and Golden State before signing with San Antonio in the off-season.

After primarily coming off the bench with the Warriors last season, Paul is averaging 10.4 points, 8.5 assists and 3.9 rebounds this season as a starter for the Spurs.
