CLEVELAND: No player in NBA history stuffed a stat sheet quite like Oscar Robertson. The “Big O” was a triple-double machine. <\/p>\n
On Monday night, LeBron James moved into his rarefied air.<\/p>\n
James joined Robertson on an exclusive list and Kevin Love scored a season-high 34 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers remained unbeaten at home with a 117-103 win over the Orlando Magic.\n<\/p>\n
James had 15 points and 13 assists and joined the legendary Robertson as the only players in history to rank in the top 25 in career points and assists.<\/p>\n
With his fifth assist, James moved past Norm Nixon (6,386) into 25th place and moved alongside Robertson, who finished his Hall of Fame career with 26,710 points and 9,887 assists. James will soon eclipse Robertson’s scoring total and the unselfish superstar is a good bet to pass him on the assist list as well.<\/p>\n
James fittingly distributed praise to those who helped him reach the milestone.<\/p>\n
Love scored 27 in the first half – 17 in a row in one stretch for the Cavs, who made 18 3-pointers and improved to 8-0 at home.<\/p>\n
James came in needing 21 points to surpass Reggie Miller (25,279) for 18th place on the career scoring list. While he didn’t quite catch Miller, he moved into the company of Robertson, a do-it-all guard who is sometimes overlooked when some fans debate the game’s top players.<\/p>\n
James knows better. <\/p>\n
