NBA, LeBron meglio anche di Stockton: ora è 2° per assist all-time ai playoff. CLASSIFICA

A LeBron James mancavano solo due assist perché gara-3 di finale NBA contro Miami fosse un altro momento da ricordare nella carriera del n°23 gialloviola, che nel corso del primo quarto ha già superato niente meno che John Stockton (il più grande passatore della storia NBA) al secondo posto per numero di assist distribuiti ai playoff in carriera. Ma il primo posto rimane parecchio lontano

I playoff di Rajon Rondo sono cominciati in ritardo per via dell’infortunio al pollice che gli ha fatto saltare tutte le “seeding games” e altri problemi alla schiena, ma da quando è tornato in campo ha avuto un grande impatto sui Los Angeles Lakers. Con gli assist distribuiti finora ha superato la bellezza di sette leggende del gioco come Isiah Thomas, Dennis Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Scottie Pippen, Steve Nash e Larry Bird entrando nella top-10 ogni epoca (sesto) e continuando a scalare posizioni
