Self Assit

I was just thinking about those passes Kidd did for TD in the all-star game and to K-Mart off the glass. And if those are considered assits then would the T-mac's shot off the glass to himself would be an assist to himself?

No, I don't think so. You can only get assists on your stats when you pass the ball to another teammate and he manages to score off it.

That's like counting dribbling before a layup as an assists..

ok so what ur saying the Kidd pass off the back board to K-Mart was NOT an assist??

No, an assist can only be registered when one player passes to another player. T-Mac's pass to himself would count as a field goal attempt if it counts in the boxscores at all.
