James finished with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, moving him ahead of both Mark Jackson and Steve Nash into fourth on the all-time rankings for assists. At his current rate of scoring, King James is on target to pass Abdul-Jabbar’s mark of 38,387 points next Tuesday when the Lakers host the Oklahoma City Thunder.  In rugby league – The Daily Telegraph’s Coaches Survey 2023 of more than 20 NRL Coaches and Assistant Coaches reveals a stark lack of support for the Pride Round in support of the LGBTQ+ community, with only 33 per cent of the Coaches surveyed supporting the concept.  In the NFL – there’s nothing like a rematch.
