Los Angeles Lakers basketball legend Magic Johnson is ranked first in the top 10 list, aka still holds the record as the all-time assist king in the NBA playoffs , with a total of 2,346 assists .
On its official website, as quoted in Jakarta on Thursday, the NBA stated that Magic Johnson's game vision and crucial contributions through passing have not been replaced by other players.
The point guard was known for his "showtime" style of play with the Lakers in the 1980s, playing a key role in leading his team to five NBA championships.
According to statistics from the United States basketball league, Johnson's ability to control the tempo of the game and find teammates in critical situations makes him a formidable facilitator who is hard to beat in helping his teammates score points for the team.
However, this record has the potential to be broken by the current active Lakers player, namely megastar LeBron James who is in second place.
