LeBron passes Kidd, climbs to third on NBA career assists list
PHILADELPHIA -- With a pass to guard VJ Edgecombe for a layup, LeBron James moved past Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd for third on the NBA career assists list with 12,092.
James finished Sunday's game, a 131-124 win for the Philadelphia 76ers over the Indiana Pacers, with 15 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds. James has thrived as a passer against the Pacers with his top two assists totals of the season, including 10 against Indiana on Oct. 28.
James could continue to climb the charts this season, as he is 461 assists away from passing point guard Chris Paul for second all time. The top spot, held by former Utah Jazz point guard John Stockton, is a ways away at 15,062 assists.
