LeBron James established himself as one of the finest playmakers the game has ever seen while closing down on the NBA scoring record. He did it in the lively Madison Square Garden, which was appropriate.
James leaped over Steve Nash and Mark Jackson for No. 4 on the all-time assists list, en route to a 129-123 Los Angeles Lakers win over the New York Knicks. The feat will soon be overshadowed but might ultimately be considered the four-time NBA Champion’s most impressive accolade when his career officially comes to a close.
Lakers head coach Darvin Ham praised the superstar’s passing prowess, using it to highlight James’ unique and indelible imprint on the sport of basketball.
“He’s just a kid who’s grown before our eyes, and the last 20 years at this level has done nothing but play the right way and make the play that’s in front of him,” Ham said postgame via Spectrum SportsNet. “Regardless of how much he’s been criticized, for a while, for not taking the last shots and over passing, and doing all that, he’s just making the right plays. And you saw that again tonight.”
