Meanwhile, ahead of achieving the historic feat, LeBron added another feather to his cap. After the game against Knicks, LeBron James got past Steve Nash and ranked fourth on the all-time high career assist list. James stands at 10,338 in the fourth spot, while Steve Nash\’s record stands at 10,335. Moreover, the game got pushed to overtime, wherein the Lakers emerged victorious.
Despite King James\’ glorious, consistent performance, the Lakers are struggling as a unit. The Lakers lost a lot of games after failing to close in the final seconds. Hence, they rank 13th on the Western Conference points table with 24-28. There\’s still time left before the all-star break. However, recovery from this stage looks almost impossible. For now, the Lakers and the fans can only pray for a miracle.
