On December 30, 1990, in a game against the Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic point guard Scott Skiles set an NBA record with 30 assists, surpassing Kevin Porter’s record of 29 set in 1978.

The Magic would go on to beat the Nuggets 155-116 with Skiles adding 22 points to go along with his record-breaking assists.

    He wore 32 in Orlando but no worries. A lot of people (myself included at one point) thought Shaq was on the team when Skiles broke the record

      IIRC, Shaq kinda retired him because Shaq wanted the #33 and Catledge said “No”.
