LeBron Became the 4th Player Ever With 12,000 Assists. The Lakers Clinched Home Court.

LeBron James added another line to his already incomprehensible resume Friday night, becoming just the fourth player in NBA history to record 12,000 career assists. He did it in style — 28 points and 12 assists in a 101-73 demolition of the Phoenix Suns that also clinched home-court advantage for the Lakers in the first round.

The only players ahead of LeBron in career assists: John Stockton (15,806), Jason Kidd (12,091), and Steve Nash (10,335). Wait — LeBron already passed Nash. He's third now. At 41 years old. While also being the NBA's all-time leading scorer. The numbers stopped making sense years ago.

The Lakers' 28-point win was their most lopsided of the season against Phoenix. With home court locked up, the only question left is whether they'll be the 3 or 4 seed — which comes down to Sunday's finale against the Nuggets. A massive regular-season closer with real playoff seeding implications.
