With his first assist on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies, LeBron James passed Andre Miller for 10th all time in regular-season NBA assists.
In doing so, he becomes the only player in NBA history to rank top 10 in both points and helpers.
James sits fifth in regular-season scoring, and he went into Monday's game just 154 points behind Michael Jordan for fourth all time. At his current pace this season, he should pass Jordan sometime over the next two weeks.
Gary Payton ranks ninth all time in regular-season assists with 8,966.
