WASHINGTON - LeBron James has joined Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson as the only players in NBA history to rank in the Top 25 in points and assists.

With his fifth assist Monday against Orlando, James made into the elite company of the "Big O", who finished with 26,710 points and 9,887 assists. James entered the game 21 points behind Reggie Miller (25,279) for 18th on the career scoring list. Robertson is 11th.

James reached the milestone with 5:00 left in the second quarter. The Cavaliers' star drove the lane, jumped and made a quick pass into the corner to Kevin Love, who knocked down a 3-pointer.
