LeBron James is one of the best passers in NBA history, his ability to see the entire floor and whip laser passes to teammates in the corner for a three or cutting to the basket make him one of the most dangerous offensive talents in the history of the game.
He has been setting up teammates at a higher rate than he ever has in his 15 NBA seasons as he is averaging over nine assists per game for the first time, at 9.1 this season.
He added to that total in the Cavaliers comeback victory over the east-leading Raptors in Cleveland on Wednesday night be dishing out 17 assists.
What was even more impressive about this performance? He did it without committing a turnover, the first player in NBA history to accomplish that feat.
Oh, he also did it while scoring 35 points…

LeBron continues to excel and seemingly reach new heights 15 years into his legendary NBA career.
Isn’t your vision supposed to deteriorate with age?
