Given the higher-scoring games we see today compared to the '80s and ‘90s, I’m surprised Scott Skiles’ record of 30 assists in a game still stands. Do you think it will be broken before 2030? Which current active player do you believe has the best chance to surpass that record? Haliburton? Harden? Young? Luka? Jokic?
If Dončić, Young or Jokić focused only or mainly on assists I think they’d beat that. But since they’re also amazing scorers the probability of doing it diminishes greatly. There could be others but I’d say these three are the most probable.
bronny but to the opposite team
If someone gets 30 points that a minimum of 60 points generated, more like 80 with 3s. Most likely a game will be a blowout when one player generates that many points
lol the assists don’t have to go to the same scorer
Points generated and points scored are not the same thing. If I have 2 assists to 2 players, that’s still 4, 5, or 6 points generated
Skiles set the record against the 1990-91 Enver Nuggets, who were very likely the worst defense in modern NBA history and played with a pace of 113.7 possessions/48 minutes. For comparison, the fastest team last season was the Wizards at 102.7.
Haha Enver
