Despite their difficulties on the field, LeBron James is having a historic year. If he stays healthy, James will pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the upcoming week to become the NBA’s all-time top scorer by less than 100 points.
In the Lakers’ game against the New York Knicks, LeBron James notched a double-double with 10 assists. He crossed Knicks legend Mark Jackson for fifth place before also crossing Steve Nash to become the sole holder of 5th place with 10,377 assists over his career.
Greatest to ever do it

This is why Lebron James is the greatest basketball player of all time

Most 20+ points and 10+ assists games in NBA history:
Oscar Robertson 411
Magic Johnson 295
LeBron James 255— Marc Weber (@MarcWeberSports) February 1, 2023
LBJ is now only trailing John Stockton, Jason Kidd, and Chris Paul in all-time assists. Considering those 3 players are the definition of a ‘point God,’ LBJ has truly established himself as one of the best floor readers in NBA history.
What’s Left For LeBron James To Achieve In The NBA?
LeBron is over 800 assists behind Chris Paul, who is going to add to his assist totals every time he plays as well, so we can expect LeBron climbing up the assists list to slow down. Unless James plays 4 more years at his level, he won’t be able to surpass Jason Kidd in second place on the list with over 1,700 assists more than LBJ.
The only thing James can chase at this point in his career is titles. He has done everything else possible. Many already look at him as the GOAT, and he can solidify that status by winning another championship or 2 before he has to retire. Hopefully, he can be in a championship-winning situation once again.
