It is quite an exciting time to be a fan of LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Although the team is still in the midst of an ever-expanding rough patch, James has remained dominant during his 20th season on the court.
The 38-year-old superstar is quite literally setting multiple records.
The biggest one is right around the corner but James passed another astonishing milestone on Tuesday night.

During the Lakers’ win against the New York Knicks, James became fourth for all-time career assists in the NBA.
With his 10,336th assist, he surpassed Steve Nash and Mark Jackson, who had 10,335 and 10,334, respectively.
The assist that set the record for James was one dished out to Thomas Bryant in the middle of a big 129-123 overtime win for the Lakers.
For the night, James put up 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists.
That was just another triple-double for James, who is also making history for the number of them he has made even at his age.
James is just a few games away from surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most points in the history of the NBA, which will obviously be an enormous accomplishment.
But beyond that, James is also scoring an amazing 30.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 7.1 assists.
It is true that the Lakers are still having a very rough time but James certainly is not.
Even after so many years, he is the most powerful asset for his team and is putting up numbers that are far greater than what’s usually accomplished by a player ten years younger than him.
The records are great and James is obviously proud of them but what he really wants is to help his team start winning regularly again.
