NBA all-time assists leaders -- LeBron James moves into fourth place

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James passed Steve Nash for fourth place on the NBA's all-time assist leaderboard following his 11-assist performance against the New York Knicks.

As reported by ESPN's Brian Windhorst in 2016, his ability to efficiently distribute the ball is particularly noteworthy, especially at his position.

"LeBron breaks all the passing rules. You're not supposed to leave your feet and pass. ... You're not supposed to pass through traffic. He throws backhanded fastballs that buzz the ears of two defenders. He always knows where everyone is going to be.
