Last night saw Chris Paul reaching a huge benchmark in his long NBA career, with the Los Angeles Clippers baller getting his 5,000th career assist via a second quarter lay-up to Blake Griffin. Paul became the third youngest player in the history of the NBA to reach that massive number (just Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas were younger in their prime). Stay with us through to the gallery to get a couple quick photos from the game and join us in congratulating Chris Paul on his 5,000th assist.
