Cleveland Cavaliers win to extend LeBron James’ remarkable streak against

And if you understand the history of the sport, then there is no way you could ever forget Oscar Robertson.

With the spectre looming of a clash with LeBron James’s Cleveland Cavaliers, an eight-year-old Atlanta Hawks fan claimed he had found the fabled key to stopping the superstar forward.

James joined Robertson on an exclusive list and Kevin Love scored a season-high 34 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers remained unbeaten at home with a 117-103 win over Orlando.

James joined Robertson as the only players in National Basketball Association history to belong in the top 25 in both scoring and assists.

James had all the praise for Robertson and said that he laid the foundation for all for us.

James’ assist on Love’s three-pointer with five minutes left in the second quarter gave him 6,387, moving him ahead of Norm Nixon and into 25th place. During the Cavaliers’ 115-100 win over the Bucks on November 19, James’ versatility and efficiency were on display as he scored 27 points (9-of-13 field goals) and added nine rebounds and six assists.

“I think what we get caught up in, in our league too much is trying to compare greats to greats instead of just accepting and acknowledging and saying, ‘Wow, these are just great players, ‘” James said.

The Golden State Warriors might be answering every possible challenge and critic that has annoyed them over the past year or so, but LeBron James has his say on the matter, and while he might sound a bit salty for bringing up the injury and health issue, he does have a point.

James entered the game 21 points behind Reggie Miller (25,279) for 18th on the career scoring list.

You may be thinking that a players-only meeting is not needed because it’s only one game and the Cavs should just move on after taking a deep breath. “I was ready, but we kept those guys in and they did a great job”. But even Magic coach Scott Skiles can’t help but get in the comparison game. “That’s an unbelievable, fantastic accomplishment”.
