With his fifth assist of the game – this behind-the-back beauty to Kevin Love – LeBron James set the record for assists by a forward.
LeBron now has 6,136 career assists, one more than Scottie Pippen. The Cavaliers forward still falls behind 26 guards for career assists.
Yep, stained glass backboards are now a reality thanks to the good people at Literally Balling.

Jordan’s No. 23 jersey is believed to have been stolen on the day of the game. The Bulls did not bring a backup No. 23 jersey with them, but the team did have a just-in-case No. 12 kit bearing no name on the back. Sam Smith, who covered the game for the Chicago Tribune and now writes for Bulls.com, remembered a search in the crowd for a No. 23 jersey that would fit Jordan’s 6’6’’ frame.
Under Armour, founded in 1996 and based in Baltimore, has announced a deal with Louisville native Muhammad Ali for a line of Ali-inspired products more than 30 years after the Louisville native’s last fight.
