Chris Paul dishes out 16 assists to go number 1 in All Star Game assist leaders.
Last night saw the 2021 NBA All-Star game held in Atlanta. With Devin Booker out with injury, Chris Paul was the only Sun being represented in the mid-season festivities.
Though he was unsuccessful in winning hardware, on his 5th attempt, in the Skills Challenge earlier in the night, CP3 was able to show why he's still an All-Star this late in to his career.
Paul saw 30 minutes of floor time, helping lead Team LeBron to a 170 - 150 win over Team Durant. Down the stretch in the 4th quarter Paul had the ball in his hands most times, orchestrating the offense like we've become accustomed to seeing.
CP3 had 16 assists in this game, taking his All-Star game total to 128 over 11 games - 1 more than the Legendary Magic Johnson, to become the all-time leader in that category. His final and record breaking assists came on a pass to Damian Lillard, who drove to the basket for the easy lay-in.

Chris was also able to show that he still has some hops in his 35 year old legs, catching the oop from Steph Curry
