James performed quite well today, but unfortunately it was still empty. In today's game, James reached another milestone, surpassing "Big O" Oscar Robertson (9887) in career assists to rise to seventh all-time. In the last game, James' steals also entered the top ten of history.
James can now be said to be a milestone in a game, every game is outstanding, in the 11 games missed by the thick eyebrows, 10 of them have cut 30+, but unfortunately the Lakers' record is still not strong.
