Yesterday, Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks faced each other in the city and area where Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was born, he was the longtime No.1 scorer. And LeBron James showed his excellence through his passing and scoring. This was the match where NBA’s all-time scoring record outreached.

This was James’ 10,338 number assist, and he passed Mark Jackson, who has 10,334 assists, and Steve Nash, who has 10,335 assists. Right now, LeBron James is on the fourth-highest all-time list.
James said after the match,
“it’s amazing because that’s just what I love to do and get my guys involved. Anytime you link with some of the greats- Mark Jackson played here, was drafted here by the Knicks, so it’s a super cool thing. And obviously, we know when Nash was. I played against him for many, many years. His ability t pass the ball was very uncanny.”
James’ ability tells us that he has remained otherworldly as he turned 38 years a couple of months ago. He is currently 89 points away from the great Abdul-Jabbar’s record, which he has stood for almost 39 years.
Los Angeles has been facing a losing streak for four matches, and it ended by beating the Knicks.

On the other side, Russell Westbrook saved the Celtics again, and he finished with a total of 17 points, where he had 3 steals, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists.
