Offseason Cherry Picked Stat Corner: 9 players ever have averaged 20-10 (assists) over a 4 year stretch or more. Oscar Robertson, Magic, and Isiah Thomas are the leaders
Here’s the list of players who have averaged 20-10 across a 4 year period:
Oscar Robertson 1961-1971 (11 years)
Magic Johnson: 1983-1991 (9 years)
Isiah Thomas 1983-1991 (9 years)
Trae Young: 2020-2026 (7 years)
Kevin Johnson 1989-1995 (7 years)
Russell Westbrook 2016-2021 (6 years)
James Harden 2021-2024 (4 years)
Nikola Jokic 2023-2026 (4 years)
John Wall: 2014-2017 (4 years)
I’m a John Wall stan, so I like this list because I think people even now don’t remember how good he was, and he will for sure be lost in time. What he did in that stretch was amazing.
Also: Trae Young is on quite a heater, and if he continues his pace he may beat Oscar Robertson’s number. But it’s interesting the top 3 guys are the people you’d expect. Even more interesting that only 9 people ever have done this. Averaging 20 pts and 10 assists is hard. Chris Paul only has a 3 year stretch of 20-10. Steven Nash didn’t average 20-10 a single time. Neither did Stockton.
Anyways, there’s my fun cherry picked stat of the week!
