LeBron James joined Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson as the only players in NBA history to rank in the Top 25 in points and assists.

With his fifth assist Monday night against Orlando, James pulled into the elite company of Robertson, the legendary "Big O," who finished with 26,710 points and 9,887 assists. James entered the game needing 21 points to pass Reggie Miller (25,279) for 18th on the career scoring list. Robertson is 11th.
James reached the milestone with 5:00 left in the second quarter. The Cavaliers' star drove the lane, jumped and made a quick pass into the corner to Kevin Love, who knocked down a 3-pointer. It moved James past Norm Nixon (6,386) for 25th on the assist list.

Before the game, Magic coach Scott Skiles, who holds the NBA record with 30 assists in a game, said James is more like Robertson and Magic Johnson than Michael Jordan, the player with whom he is most often compared.

"Every time there's a young great player everybody talks about Michael, but to me he's always been more like a Magic (Johnson) or an Oscar-type player because of his vision," Skiles said. "That's what makes it so difficult. If you think you're going to give him a steady diet of running and double teaming him, he's going to carve you up. He's going to find everybody, find the open man."

By the time LeBron retires, will he be the greatest of all time?
