Another day, another milestone for that guy named LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers got seriously manhandled by the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night, 140-111. But for what it's worth, LBJ got a little consolation prize after reaching 10,000 assists.
The Lakers superstar, who's been on an absolute tear, finished with 31 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. It was another fine showing for The King, but sadly, the Lakers as a whole have failed to string up wins.
Still, LeBron has been nothing but phenomenal, achieving another feat just a few hours after dropping 50 points against the Washington Wizards. When asked about the 37-year-old Lakers forward scoring 50 points twice in three days, Suns coach Monty Williams didn't hide his admiration, per the report of ESPN.

In his 19th year, LeBron is tied with Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers as the NBA's top scorer with 29.7 points per game. LBJ is a decade older than both of them.
With his latest achievement, LeBron is now the only player in NBA history with at least 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,000 assists.
The Lakers will next face the Toronto Raptors in the second set of a back-to-back slate.
