Based on available NBA records, no player has officially averaged exactly 15 assists per game (APG) in a single season. While several legendary players have come close, the precise mark of 15 APG in a season remains an elusive achievement.
The All-Time Leader in Assists Per Game
The highest assists per game average ever recorded in an NBA season belongs to John Stockton.
- Player: John Stockton
- Season: 1989–90
- Assists Per Game (APG): 14.54
Stockton's incredible 14.54 APG mark from the 1989–90 season stands as the highest recorded average in NBA history. He also holds the all-time record for total assists in a season with 1,164, achieved in the 1990–91 season.
Here's a quick look at the highest single-season assist average:
| Player | Season | Assists Per Game (APG) |
|---|---|---|
| John Stockton | 1989–90 | 14.54 |
This demonstrates that while Stockton achieved an extraordinary level of playmaking, his highest average fell just short of the 15 APG threshold.
