Steve Nash, who just announced his retirement, moved into third on the all-time assists list with the final assist of his career while playing for the Lakers.

The recipient of that pass?

Jodie Meeks, now a Piston.

Meeks, via Jessica Camerato of Basketball Insiders:

"“I was happy to be a part of that,” Meeks, now a member of the Detroit Pistons, told Basketball Insiders on Sunday. “It’s a great feeling because he’ll be in the Hall of Fame and let’s be realistic, I’m probably not going to be. Maybe the box score will be, so I’ll be happy to be in there with him.”"
