LeBron James Passes Another Milestone

LeBron James joined Oscar Robertson on an exclusive National Basketball Association list and Kevin Love scored a season-high 35 points as Cleveland remained unbeaten at home. LeBron achieved the feat when he assisted Kevin Love for a 3-pointer towards the end of the second quarter which was the 6,387 assist of his career putting him ahead of Norm Nixon.

Love has been hot for the Cavaliers, averaging 24.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 3.2 three-pointers over the past five games. “He’s a guy who laid the foundation, and I’m just trying to carry it on”. James entered the game needing 21 points to pass Reggie Miller (25,279) for 18th on the career scoring list.

It’s not the only criterion I will use, but with two more championships, James will get serious consideration for the top spot on this list. J.R. Smith added 26 points. Both were threats to put up triple-doubles on any given night, though Robertson was clearly a bigger one – you may have heard once or twice that he’s the only player ever to average a triple-double over the course of a full season. Last year, the Raptors brought in James Johnson to play the role of defensive stopper against the league’s premier perimeter scorers and while he and DeMar DeRozan did a commendable job on James at times, even winning an early-season meeting in Cleveland, Carroll gives Toronto something it’s never had. “That’s an wonderful, awesome accomplishment”. According to the Akron Beacon Journal, Irving beat James in a one on one game, and it was not close.

“MJ” was a five-time league MVP and six-time NBA Finals MVP. “It was kind of men against boys”, Skiles said. “Except maybe his hairline”.

“We had to pick it up a few notches in order to slow them down”, Blatt said.

The Magic hung tough with the Cavaliers in the first half, but faded down the stretch. Next in his sights is Alex English, who scored 25,613 points. “I thought nearly every 3-point shot that we took tonight came as a result of good ball movement, good execution, guys making the right decision when to take the shot”. Game one was won by the Heat after a 28% percent shooting 1st half, coming on strong in the second half along with Dirk Nowitzki injuring his finger resulted in that. The fans have really been into it. It’s a great atmosphere at The Q. But also there’s just that sense of togetherness. “Any time we get an opportunity to either see each other or talk to each other, it’s always respect”, James said.

Goran Dragic had 13 points and nine assists for the Heat, which went on a 36-8 run in the first half. LeBron James reaches some ridiculous milestone, we ask him about it, he credits his teammates past and present and the two great organizations for which he has played and we move on to the next milestone.

SIXERS DROP 15TH STRAIGHT: Through another seemingly interminable losing streak, the Philadelphia 76ers have been done in by some of the NBA’s biggest names.

Elsewhere, Kevin Durant marked his return from a hamstring injury with 27 points and six rebounds as Oklahoma City eased past Utah 111-89, with most of the damage done in the second quarter when the Thunder outscored the Jazz 40-26. 636 from the field.
