LeBron James, Oscar Robertson only players in top 25 for points and assists
— -- CLEVELAND -- LeBron James joined Oscar Robertson as the only other player in NBA history to rank in the top 25 all time in both points and assists on Monday.
James joined the elite company when he found Kevin Love for a corner 3-pointer with 5 minutes remaining in the second quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers' 117-103 win over the Orlando Magic. It was his fifth assist of the game and 6,387th of his career, passing Norm Nixon for No. 25 all time.
James finished the night with 13 assists. He also scored 15 points and needs just six more to pass Reggie Miller (25,279 points) for No. 18 on the all-time scoring list.
James entered Monday night averaging 26.6 points per game. If he can stay at that clip while playing all 82 games for the Cavs, which he has said is his goal, he could pass Hakeem Olajuwon's 26,946 points, which currently rank 10th all time, by season's end.
Robertson ranks 11th in points with 26,710 and sixth in assists with 9,887.
