Scott Skiles, 58 years old and an impossible record to beat?

Scott Skiles has somewhat disappeared from circulation since leaving his position as head coach of the Orlando Magic in 2016. Regardless, the former point guard has left an indelible mark in the history of the NBA for the moment. As he turns 58 today, Skiles still has a record that few have really tried to break. That of the number of successful assists in a single match.

On December 30, 1990, a little less than 30 years ago, Scott Skiles delivered 30 assists against the Denver Nuggets during a very large victory for his team (155-116). In the recent past, the only one to come even close to this record is Rondo regionin 2017, with 25 assists against Brooklyn while wearing the New Orleans Pelicans jersey.

And since this record was established, it was finally only John Stockton, a year later in 1991, who gave the impression of being able to dethrone him: 28 assists against the Spurs.

Who do you think will ever come close or beat Skiles?
