🔺 Season Of Giving. Former Bear Keyonte George is really embracing the season of giving.

In his first season in the NBA, he’s aligning himself with historic players of the game.

This week, he reached 100 career assists in just 21 games with the Utah Jazz. The only player to reach that number quicker in team history? The NBA Hall of Famer, John Stockton.

With 110 assists on the year, George currently is nearly double the next closest rookie and ranks 35th overall in the NBA in that category.
