德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥 - 12月8日：圣安东尼奥马刺队的3号球员克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)在上半场对阵新奥尔良鹈鹕队的比赛中助攻数超越贾森·基德后，在冰霜银行中心向观众致意。
克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)在周日的比赛中助攻数超越贾森·基德(Jason Kidd)，升至NBA历史助攻榜第二位，随后马刺以121-116战胜新奥尔良鹈鹕，保罗与球队一同享受了难忘的赛后庆祝。
上半场还剩7分06秒时，保罗通过界外球助攻维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)，这位2米21的中锋命中一记7.6米的三分球，保罗就此达成里程碑式的助攻。
这次助攻使保罗的生涯助攻数达到12,092次，比基德多一次。约翰·斯托克顿(John Stockton)以15,806次助攻位居榜首。
39岁的保罗本场比赛得到6分和10次助攻，使他在20年的NBA生涯中总助攻数达到12,099次。他的职业生涯始于2005年，当时他在选秀大会上以第四顺位被新奥尔良黄蜂队选中。
赛后，冰霜银行中心的马刺更衣室里传出了几阵响亮的欢呼声。
“伙计们，这感觉太棒了，”保罗谈到庆祝活动时说道。“由于我们赢了，感觉好多了，你懂我的意思吗？尤其是在我们赢球的方式下。是的，伙计们，这真的很酷。他们给了我一份难忘的礼物，不仅是一场胜利，还有一个篮球和一张大照片，上面有我效力过的所有球队，更重要的是，还有我职业生涯中助攻过的所有173名球员，我完全没想到会这样。”
保罗和文班的连线还在比赛还剩36.9秒时帮助马刺以117-116领先。在那个回合中，保罗将球传给了后插上的文班，后者再次命中三分。
在文班的进球后，马刺一路领先，最终终结了三连败，将战绩改写为12胜12负。文班在因背伤缺席两场比赛后复出，得到25分、10个篮板和3次盖帽。
“能够参与他的旅程真的很酷，”保罗谈到这位20岁的法国球星时说。“在我的职业生涯中，我有机会参与了很多伟大球员的旅程，而能够和文班在这里，并以这种方式与他联系在一起，真的很酷。”
文班很高兴能够成为那个帮助保罗超越基德升至历史助攻榜第二位的球员。
“这是最棒的，”文班谈到参与创造历史的时刻时说道。“我当时没有意识到，但在进入比赛时，我在想，‘好吧，我得拿到这个球。我得参与其中。’”
“是的，但这很棒。我为他感到非常自豪。”
尽管保罗是第一年效力马刺，但他的历史性成就对于这支他曾经在常规赛和季后赛中多次击败的球队来说是一个令人欣慰的时刻。
“我们正在见证伟大，”马刺代理主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)说道。“我们中的许多人都曾与他交手。我们都看过他打球。能够亲身体验这一点，这是一种荣幸。而且他仍然保持着高水平的发挥。我们对此心存感激，他理应获得所有赞扬和关注，因为这是一项极高的荣誉。”
包括保罗的父亲在内，他的家人也来到了现场，与16,840名观众一起见证了他的历史性时刻。
“要特别感谢我的父亲，”保罗说道。“我小时候不觉得我父亲喜欢我。但他看到了我的某些特质，他知道如果我想要成功，我就必须努力。所以今天早上我爸爸给我发了短信。他昨天也给我发了短信。我的父亲仍然是我的父亲。我快40岁了，我爸爸仍然是我的爸爸。我仍然向他寻求安慰。我仍然向他寻求一切。我仍然尊敬他。他仍然是我的英雄，我很高兴他在这里，我可以和他以及所有人分享这一刻。”

Paul enjoys emotional celebration with Spurs after milestone assist
SAN ANTONIO, TX - DECEMBER 8: Chris Paul #3 of the San Antonio Spurs acknowledges the crowd after his assist surpassed Jason Kidd during the game against the New Orleans Pelicans in the first half at Frost Bank Center on December 8, 2024 in San Antonio, Texas.
Chris Paul enjoyed a memorable postgame celebration with the Spurs after he passed Jason Kidd into second place in NBA career assists, and they defeated New Orleans 121-116 Sunday.
Paul gained his milestone assist when he fed Victor Wembanyama with an inbounds pass the 7-foot-3 center sank for a 25-foot 3-point shot with 7:06 left in the first half.
The play gave Paul 12,092 assists, one more than Kidd. John Stockton is No. 1 on the list with 15,806.
Paul, 39, finished the game with six points and 10 assists, giving him 12,099 during his 20-year NBA career that began with the New Orleans franchise after it drafted him fourth overall in 2005.
Several loud rounds of cheers could be heard coming from the Spurs locker room at the Frost Bank Center after the game.
“Man, it was cool,” Paul said of the celebration. “It’s a lot better since we won, you know what I mean? Given the fashion that we won. But yeah, man, it was really cool. The guys, they gave me a memorable gift, not only a win, but a ball and a big picture with all the teams that I done played with, but more so all the (173) guys that I’ve assisted in my career, and I definitely wasn’t expecting that.”
The Paul-to-Wembanyama combination also resulted in the Spurs taking a 117-116 lead with 36.9 seconds left. On that play, Paul got the ball to a trailing Wembanyama for another 3-pointer.
The Spurs never trailed after Wembanyama’s basket as they snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 12-12. Wembanyama finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in his first game back after missing two in a row with a back injury.
“I think it has been really cool to be a part of his journey,” Paul said of the 20-year-old French star. “I’ve had an opportunity to be a part of a lot of great players’ journey in my career, and to be here with Vic and to be connected to him in that way has been pretty cool.”
Wembanyama was thrilled to be the player who scored the basket to give Paul the assist that vaulted him over Kidd into second place.
“It was the best,” Wembanyama said of being involved in the history-making play. "I didn’t realize it in the moment, but coming into the game, I was thinking, ‘OK, I got to get that. I got to be in on this one.’
“Yeah, but it was great. I’m very proud of him.”
Even though Paul is in his first year with the Spurs, his historic accomplishment was a feel-good moment for a franchise he once tormented both in the regular season and the playoffs.
“We are witnessing greatness,” acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “A lot of us have competed against him. We have all watched him. And to be able to experience it first-hand, it’s a privilege. And he is still doing it at a high, high level. We are grateful for that and he deserves all the praise and the attention that comes with that because it is a hell of an honor.”
Paul’s family, including his father, was on hand in the crowd of 16,840 to witness his historic moment.
“A big shout out to my dad,” Paul said. “I didn’t think my dad liked me when I was younger. But he saw something in me and he knew that if I wanted it, I had to work at it. And so my dad texted me this morning. He texted me yesterday. My dad is still my dad. I’m kicking 40 in the ass and my daddy is still my daddy. I still look to him for comfort. I look to him for any and everything. I still look up to him. He’s still my hero and I’m glad that he’s here and I get to share that with him and all of them.”
