The Point God continues to establish himself as one of the greatest to play the game.

Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul passed the legendary Magic Johnson for fifth on the NBA's all-time assists leaderboard with his 10th dime in Monday's 128-127 overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

The milestone came with 4:05 remaining in the fourth quarter on a pass upcourt to Devin Booker. Paul finished with 22 points, 13 assists, and seven boards.
