This is the most assists Cory Joseph has ever gotten in an NBA game. You can look at all 540 of his other games, but you will find not one that has as many or more assists than this. That is my way of saying: watch this video. Without delay.
Joseph had 8 assists before he even took a shot. That’s dedication to the traditional ethos of the point guard right there. That’s old school. You want a taste of what PG play was like before everyone decided that they wanted to score the ball instead of simply deriving joy from seeing their teammates score the ball? Then you will watch this video. Immediately.
Here’s another fun stat for you: this is the most assists by any player this season not named LeBron James, Luka Doncic, or James Harden. And it’s just Cory Joseph. He’s just a guy, not even the normal starter on his team. By that metric, this is a comparable performance to him scoring 50 points. Obviously, you would not hesitate for even a second before watching a vid showing him scoring 50. So why not watch this one? There can be no reason. Commence viewing of this video. Now.
