Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul passed Los Angeles Lakers legend and Hall of Famer Magic Johnson for fifth place on the NBA’s all-time assists list on Monday night with 4:05 remaining in the fourth quarter against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Paul fired a pass to a streaking Devin Booker for the dunk and the go-ahead assist. Paul finished with 13 assists in Phoenix’s 128-127 overtime victory.

The 11-time All-Star called the achievement surreal and added afterward he planned to send the ball to Johnson in hopes of getting it autographed.

“There will never be another Magic,” Paul said. “Showtime. You know what I mean?”

In addition to his place on the all-time assists list, Paul also ranks fifth all-time in steals.
