Americans are doing a great job of recording data, and we can feel the integrity of the NBA's historical data. I recently looked at the assists data of the original NASL (North American Football League), and they actually have a complete database of player assists from the first year of the league in 1968. This is the league that I have learned of in the seven or eight years since I studied football assist data, and it should be the earliest complete record of assist data in the history of human football. Therefore, with the traditional continuity, since the first year of the Major League (1996), there are also complete assist data. However, the assist standard of the official website of the Major League is too broad, I have compared the DATA OF THE OPTA, the number of assists on the official website of the Major League is much more, and the assists of the original NASL are the same, if according to the current general OPTA assist standard, you need to give them a discount on the assist data.
Thanks to nasl's historical data, we can see the traces of football gods such as Cruyff, Bailey, Gad Mueller, George Best, Eusebio and Beckenbauer in the entertainment of the "Senior Sports Association".
Here are two players to talk about in particular: Kinalia is the historical top scorer of the original NASL, he went to the New York Universe at the age of 29 when he was still at his peak, you know that he was one of the best strikers in Europe at that time, the top scorer who scored 20+ goals in a single season in Serie A in the 70s of the last century; former Southern genius Bojičević is the historical assist king of the original NASL, he joined the New York Universe at the peak of 27 years old, so he left a very crazy assist stats. In NASL history, only two men have an assist efficiency of more than 0.6, Cruyff's 0.7 and Bojičević's 0.72.
In addition, Cabañas and Romero in the table were the two main players of paraguay in the 1986 World Cup, and because Z God specifically mentioned it today, they were also recorded in the back-up football database.
Let's take a look at the data of these fairy fights:
