LeBron James Is 16 Assists Away from Third Place on the Assists List

LeBron James is very close to climbing onto another podium on the NBA's all-time assists list. To overtake Jason Kidd, who currently holds third place with 12,091 career assists, James needs 16 more.

The player who has received the most assists from James is his Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who has 785. He is followed by Anthony Davis (610), Kevin Love (502), Chris Bosh (482) and Dwyane Wade (428).

Thanks to James's assists, his teammates have scored a total of 28,268 points. That figure falls just short of matching the total of Melo Anthony, who ranks 11th in career scoring.

John Stockton tops the all-time assists list, and Chris Paul is second.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics will play tonight at 2:00 AM Italian time. It will be Jaylen Brown's first game against his former team.
