Clippers’ Chris Paul seeks to make history, break Magic Johnson record
If Chris Paul produces a double-double Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Clippers’ all-star guard will stand alone in NBA history.

Paul is averaging 19.5 points and 12.6 assists.
He leads the NBA in assists and is second in the league in steals, averaging 2.64 per game.
Paul is tied with Minnesota forward Kevin Love for the most double-doubles in the NBA.
Love is second in the league in scoring (26.7 points per game) and third in rebounds (13.4).
