Kidd passes Big O on career assist list

Posted Feb 4 2009 9:14PM
DALLAS (AP) -- Jason Kidd is now No. 4 on the NBA's career assist list.
With a pass to Josh Howard for an open jumper early in the Dallas Mavericks' game against Portland on Wednesday night, Kidd notched the 9,888th assist of his career. He passed Oscar Robertson, who was the career leader when he retired in 1974.
Only John Stockton, Mark Jackson and Magic Johnson are ahead of Kidd.
At his season average of 8.3 assists per game, Kidd could catch Johnson (10,141) by the end of this season. Kidd could pass Jackson (10,334) early next season. But it'll take many more big seasons to reach Stockton's mark of 15,806.
