LeBron joins "Big O" on elite list

by Carrie White sales
No player in NBA history stuffed aJames White Jersey stat sheet quite like Oscar Robertson. The ''Big O'' was a triple-double machine. On Monday night, LeBron James moved into his rarefied air. 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. James had 15 points and 13 assists and joined the legendary Robertson as the only players in history to rank http://www.patriotsofficialonlineshop.com/jamie-collins-jersey_c-408.htmlin the top 25 in career points and assists. ''He's a guy who laid the foundation,'' James said of Robertson, ''and I'm just trying to carry it on.'' With his fifth assist,http://www.patriotsofficialonlineshop.com/jerod-mayo-jersey_c-412.html 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. James fittingly distributed praise to those who helped him reach the milestone. ''I give all the credit to the two great franchises I've been a part of and the players and the teammates and the coaching staffs that I've played for so far that have allowed me to go out and do the things I've done in my career,'' he said. ''So none of that would be possible without them.'' Love scored 27 in the first half - 17 in a row in one stretchRandy Gregory Jerseyfor the Cavs, who made 18 3-pointers and improved to 8-0 at home. Andrew Nicholson scored 18 and Evan Fournier had 13 points for the Magic. Orlando has dropped 11 straight to Cleveland. James came in http://www.officialcowboysnflstore.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_RANDY_GREGORY_JERSEY.htmlneeding 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. James knows better. ''If you are a true basketball fan and you know the history of the game, there is no way he can ever be lost,'' James said. ''In our league too much is trying to compare greats to greats instead of just accepting and acknowledging and saying, 'Wow, these are just great players.''' Cavs coach David Blatt was not aware James matched Robertson until after the game.
