Earlier this week, as it seems happens basically every other game, LeBron James passed another Hall of Famer in the NBA’s All-Time record books. On Monday, it was the All-Time assists leaderboard that he moved up, passing NBA Hall of Famer and Detroit Pistons star Isiah Thomas.
When asked about LeBron passing him for No. 8 on the NBA’s All-Time assist leaderboard, Thomas was full of praise for James, who he says “made the game better,” according to Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Heavy.com.
“LeBron James has made our game better,” Thomas told me via text message this morning. “I am truly happy for him! He is a gifted passer and scorer, a very rare combination to see in a player. I hope he continues to raise the bar.”
Thomas was part of the iconic Detroit Pistons squads of the late 1980s and early 1990s that won two championships and went to three straight NBA Finals. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000 and is currently an analyst on NBA TV.
