You're supposed to get an assist if it's 2 dribbles or less. I believe.
since the stat was kept in the NBA, it was a pass leading directly to a basket. That was the actual definition when I was a kid and early teens. Around 1991, it changed and we saw a lot of assist numbers inflate. Even when stockton got the record in that game with his assist to Malone, the owner joked to him over the mic saying that he should stay in the league long enough to get 15,000 assists. Stockton was looking at him like he was crazy. Well, he ended up getting to 15k due to the rule change.

You're 1 rebound shy of a TD and the coach leaves you in up 7 with less than 20 seconds to go just to get a rebound. If it's not stat padding, what is it? I don't have a problem with it, but I do have a problem with people contradicting themselves.

My nikka, you acting like they left her in a blowout for 5 minutes. The bytch just hit 2 free throws to seal the game the prior possession.

You sitting here mad because she wasn't immediately pulled after hitting crucial free throws. :mjlol:

I can tell you nikkas haven't been watching NBA/WNBA individual highlight reels because they've been counting assists like that forever
NO they have not. it started around 1991 or 1992. That's not "forever". And assist from the beginning of the stats being tallied until around '91, it was a pass leading directly to a basket. Wilt even discussed this as well in the early 90s how an assist was different than in the 70s

once again, I don't have a problem with it, I just have a problem with the hypocrisy. This is a donald royal triple double. Reese stat pads and so does clark. Both of them do it and only one is blamed for it.

Aint no hypocrisy . One player was left in the game for the final 3 minutes, down 20 points, after most of the starters for BOTH TEAMS were pulled.

The other just hit two free throws to seal the game on their final possession.

If you can't see the difference, it's time to log off Sheryl. :mjlol:
