After missing most of the season the Los Angeles Lakers point-guard Steve Nash became the fifth player in NBA history to reach 10,000 career assists. The 10,000th assist came on a pass to Antawn Jamison with 19 seconds left in the second quarter. This puts Nash on an elite list of point-guards with John Stockton (15,806), Jason Kidd (11,969), Mark Jackson (10,334), and Magic Johnson (10,141).
This season Nash is averaging 8.8 assists per game.
