LeBron James passed Chris Paul to move into second place on the all-time assists list during the Lakers comeback win over the Grizzlies, adding another milestone to his career.
LeBron James continues to add to his legacy, and on Sunday night, he reached another historic mark.
In the Los Angeles Lakers 120-114 comeback win over the Memphis Grizzlies, James passed Chris Paul to move into second place on the all-time assists list when combining regular-season and playoff games.
The milestone came during a game that once again showed how important LeBron remains to Los Angeles.
The Lakers found themselves down by 16 points in the second quarter, struggling to find rhythm on both ends of the floor. James helped steady the team, pushing the pace, finding shooters, and making the right reads to fuel the rally.
LeBron finished the night with 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists in 37 minutes, shooting better than 57 percent from the field. He controlled the offense and delivered in key moments, especially late in the game when every possession mattered.
Passing Paul on the all-time assists list while already owning the all-time scoring record puts LeBron in rare territory.
No player in NBA history has combined scoring and playmaking at this level for such a long stretch, and he continues to prove he can still dictate games.
With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves handling more of the scoring, LeBron has embraced a playmaking role. He focuses on creating advantages, reading defenses, and setting up teammates, which helps keep the Lakers' offense balanced and efficient.
