The Philadelphia 76ers were able to defeat the Indiana Pacers to end the week, and LeBron James found himself climbing the leaderboards once again. James passed Jason Kidd for third place in all-time assists after a pass to VJ Edgecombe.

After the game, James was asked about being top 3 in assists, and gave credit to the teammates that he's had over the years.

“It means I had a lot of great teammates. You gotta have teammates that can put the ball in the hole, so I think my job is just to try to put it on time and on target, lead them to the hole from either layups, dunks, threes, mid-range, whatever the case may be. Any time I'm in any list in NBA history, I love the history of the game; I love the players that came before me; it's super honorable,” James said.
