Lakers News: LeBron James Leapfrogs Clyde Drexler In This All-Time Stat

Breaking records is what James does.

Star LeBron James has continued to amaze this season, even in year 21 of his career. He has put the Lakers on his back and has helped keep them afloat while they work out their easy season issues.

James helped guide the Lakers to a one-point win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday, and it was a classic performance from him. He put up 37 points, six rebounds and eight assists en route to the victory.

But he also added in three steals as well, and he passed Clyde Drexler for the 8th most steals in NBA history. James is in the business of making history, and he did so once again this weekend.

James passing Drexler on the list is quite an accomplishment for him, and it just shows how great he is. He has always been strong on the defensive side of the floor, and even to this day, he remains a force to be dealt with.

What James is doing at his age is simply incredible, and shouldn't be overstated. His longevity has made him unlike any player we have ever seen before in the history of the NBA, and there are no words to describe what he is doing.

He remains one of the best players in the game today and is showing that he can still put a game on his back. People should be appreciating the greatness of James while he is still playing because it isn't going to last forever.

The Lakers overall reliance on James is problematic, however, and they will need to have others step up down the stretch of the season. But for now, they are enjoying the masterpieces that James continues to put together.
