28 years ago on a warm night in Orlando, Magic point guard Scott Skiles set the single game NBA assist record with 30 during a 155-116 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
30 assists and not one of them juiced/stat fixing. I counted a total of 6 passes where the scorer used one short, quick gather dribble. Now take a look at the kind of crap they give assists for nowadays. Players entering the ball in the post where the offensive player takes 8 seconds of pounding the ball, shot faking, drop stepping before scoring on a back tip and they still credit whoever fed them the ball with the assist. Jason Tatum's home assists in this years finals being a perfect example.
It's beautiful because he was really just making the right pass every time. Young PGs can watch this video forever and learn how to approach different passing angles. I hope coaches are teaching this specific performance to young guards.
Its crazy that it is easier to have a triple double than beating this record, and we have a lot of good passers this season too.
Had to look this guy up after beating his record on 2k 😂🤷🏼♂️
lol he also has a ton of baby mommas, may have set record for that as well: i80sportsblog.com/scott-skiles-done-in-milwaukee-baby-mamas-on-high-alert/

Was hoping to see a comment like this after the MJ news

What a masterpiece!!!
I'm so old that this is the day I truly became a fan of the Magic.
Scott Skiles was a good player in his own right and this is really why.
They kept trying to replace him and he kept producing
30 assists in one game is just insane!! Wow!! Just surreal is all I can say!
The Westhead Nuggets played ZERO defense, and Orlando couldn't miss in this game. It was the perfect storm.
This was the no defence nuggets era lmao
@@goodtimeblimp Enver Nuggets
This is pre-Shaq Magic, Dennis Scott still had hair.😂
You'd be bald too with 8 kids lol.
