CLEVELAND -- LeBron James joined Hall of Famer Jameer Nelson Youth Jersey Oscar Robertson on Monday as the only players in NBA history to rank in the top 25 in both points and assists. James joined the elite company when he found Kevin Love for a corner 3-pointer with five minutes left in the second quarter. It was his fifth assist of the game and 6,387th of his career, which put him ahead of Norm Nixon at No. 25. James said he didn't want the accomplishment to spark a conversation comparing his career with the Big O's. "I think what we get caught up in, 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,'" James said after the Cleveland Cavaliers' 117-103 win over the Orlando Magic. "I think in the NFL, when you talk about great quarterbacks, they don't really compare great quarterbacks. They say, 'Oh, Joe Montana is great.' You know, 'Tom Brady is great. Aaron Rodgers is great. Steve Young is great.' [Terry] Bradshaw, all those great quarterbacks, they never compare them as much. "But when it comes to our sport, we're so Jared Sullinger Authentic Jersey eager to say, 'Who is better: Oscar or [Michael] Jordan?' or 'Jordan or LeBron or Kobe [Bryant] or these guys?' instead of just accepting greatness. And if you understand the history of the sport, then there is no way you could ever forget Oscar Robertson. This guy, he averaged a triple-double for, like, forever." Robertson has shared similar sentiments for James. In October 2010, speaking in an interview with ESPN's Mark Schwarz, Robertson said James is "in a class by himself" in response to Charles Barkley saying James will "never be Jordan." James was asked why he believed basketball players' legacies get pitted against one another, while football players' don't. "I think it may be the nature of the sport, and also, the prestige position in sports is quarterback," James said. James was then asked if basketball players http://www.authenticcelticsstore.com/authentic-tayshaun-prince-jersey.html feed into those comparisons by having the conversations he doesn't care for. "I don't," James said. "I can't speak for everybody else." Magic coach Scott Skiles brought up other luminaries to whom James has been linked.
