We take a look at some of the players who have made history for their incredible way of defending.
John Stockton
Trae Young continues to enjoy himself on the court, and despite not establishing himself as a competitive leader of these Atlanta Hawks, his statistical line shines brightly. Evidence of this is that he is now the eighth player with the most games of 20+ points and 10+ assists in NBA history, having surpassed John Stockton with his 25/10 performance against the Warriors.
In tonight's win, Trae Young passed John Stockton (184) for the 8th-most games in NBA history with 20+ PTS & 10+ AST 👏
