NBA Note - Cleveland Cavaliers James, LeBron

Dec 15, 2017 - 8:06 AM F LeBron James tied Larry Bird for sixth all-time in triple-doubles. James' 59th triple-double in 15 seasons consisted of 25 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists. Bird reached 59 in 13 seasons with the Celtics. "He's one of the greatest players to ever play the game," James said. "Kid from French Lick. Boston. And one of the few guys that ever be in a 3-point contest and shoot with a warmup shirt on. He played until he couldn't play no more. And for young guys that don't know him, they think of Larry Bird as a jump shooter. But he was so much more than that. He was a passer. He averaged double-digit rebounds. He defended. He took charges."
