    Interesting Factoid from Elias:

    LeBron James on Saturday accomplished something for the third time within the last 12 months that Michael Jordan did only three times in his entire NBA career; that Larry Bird also did three times in his pro career. That Kareem did twice, that Magic did once, that Jerry West did once.

    James had 47 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in Cleveland's 106-99 win over Miami -- the third time in the last calendar year that James had registered a triple-double while scoring 40 or more points. The only NBA players who have had more such games in their NBA careers than James has had during the past year were Oscar Robertson (22) and Wilt Chamberlain (7).


    So only Oscar and Wilt have more 40-10-10 games than LeBron has had in the past year, and they got it in an era where points and rebounds were MUCH easier to come by since there were so many more shot attempts per game in the early 60s.

    That's pretty impressive.
