Method

  • Box scores start in 2002-03, so 828 careers that began earlier aren't here.
  • The data has assists for every game since 2005-06, so 612 defenders from before then aren't here.
  • 644 defenders aren't here because a game in their window has no line recorded.
  • An active player who got to 50 assists before this season is on the all-time board with his rank.
