Scott skiles & that 30 assist game. not sure if it will be done again.

It can't be done again. It came against the run-and-gun 1991 Denver Nuggets, coached by Paul Westhead, that literally did not play defense. If the late 2000s Suns were considered SSOL, the 1990-91 Nuggets were FSOL (the F can stand for four or five, doesn't matter). They gave up more points than any team in NBA history. They lost that game 155-116 in regulation. Skiles had 22 points to go along with those 30 assists, meaning he was responsible for at least 82 points. It was a farce.

Similar to Wilt's records from the early '60s, there is no confluence of events that could allow it to happen again.
 
Lulz @ Knicks fans cheering for the Flynn pick just cuz Curry was still available. How did Bilas and them really think Rubio and Flynn could co exist. Hindsight sure, but just didn't seem ideal

I forgot how much they wanted Curry

That’s crazy, if he didn’t shoot and just hunted for more assists he prolly could’ve had 35+ lol
