The 39-year-old forward extended his lead over the Nuggets’ star in this category.

It is no longer surprising to see LeBron James excelling at this stage of his NBA career. The forward, who is 39 years old, is still breaking records for the Los Angeles Lakers.

On Tuesday, January 9, the King was instrumental in the team’s second victory (132-131) over the Toronto Raptors. The four league MVPs finished a committment with a double-double of 22 points, 12 assists, and five rebounds in 35 minutes on the floor, making him the star of the night alongside Anthony Davis, who appeared with 41 points.

For the Los Angeles veteran, the game versus the Canadians at the Crypto.com Arena was history. With a new double-double, the King extended his legacy among legends, where he now outnumbers Nikola Jokic by a wide margin.

James surpassed 157 games with at least that many assists in his career in the best basketball in the world with 12 assists against Toronto. With this accomplishment, the veteran player has surpassed the Denver Nuggets star on that list, who has converted this milestone in 69 opportunities.

With colleagues like Anthony Davis on the floor, the four-time NBA champion has been more generous in terms of player development. LeBron has averaged 7.5 assists each night in 35 games played this season.
