LeBron James became the most prolific passing forward in league history on Tuesday, topping Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen for the most career assists by an NBA forward during the Cleveland Cavaliers' 102-93 win over the Detroit Pistons.
James' pass that led to a Kevin Love 3-pointer with 6:26 remaining in the second quarter gave James five assists on the night and 6,136 for his career, passing Pippen's mark of 6,135. James finished the night with a game-high 11 assists.
The accomplishment comes on the heels of James passing Allen Iverson for No. 22 on the NBA's all-time scoring list Sunday in a win over the New York Knicks.
