LeBron matches MJ's record with 866th straight double-digit scoring game
LeBron James just happened to match another one of Michael Jordan's milestones in the latter's own building.
Against the Jordan-owned Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night, James finished a two-handed alley-oop dunk in the second quarter for his ninth and 10th points of the game. It's the 866th consecutive regular-season contest in which he's scored in double figures, which matches Jordan for the longest streak of all time.
LBJ throws down the emphatic oop!

With that dunk LeBron James has scored in double figures in 866 consecutive regular season games (since 1/6/07), tying Michael Jordan for the longest double-digit scoring streak in NBA history.#AllForOne pic.twitter.com/sKUWqGmIvu
The last time James scored in single digits was back on Jan. 5, 2007, during his first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers, when he logged eight points in a win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
He finished Wednesday's game with 41 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists in a 118-105 win.
Jordan may own the Hornets in deed and title, but James owns them in spirit. Since MJ became the majority owner of the Charlotte franchise (then the Bobcats) in March 2010, James-led teams are now 29-1 against them.
