Lame game tonight, so I'm resorting to some trivia for entertainment.  A pretty straightforward list tonight.  Name me some guys on the top 16 All-Time NBA Career Assist Leader Board.

Don't cheat!

A bunch are easy, a few I don't think I would have guessed and at least one you couldn't have even beaten out of me.

Fire away...

Yup

Hmmm...what he said plus

Steve Nash
Jason Kidd
And I think I remember hearing Rod Strickland had an ungodly amount.

Not sure in what order, probably Kidd, Nash, then Strickland?

Huh...  I wouldn't have guessed Porter or Bogues. 

Did Tiny make the cut?  Kevin Johnson?  DJ?  I'm guessing no on DJ, since he never had gaudy numbers.

Negative on all counts

Muggsy racked up some pretty serious assists for Charlotte for a bunch of years (averaged more assists than points some years)

I'll give a hint on one guy.  This guy finished his NBA career in 1970.

The other player is easy enough and deserves no hints!
Yup

Try guessing the 2 active players with the most assists that are not on this list (so excluding Kidd and Nash).

Pretty interesting to see them there though.
