The Phoenix Suns continue to put the Lakers in a losing situation. Since the playoffs last year, the Suns have got the better of the LA team. However, with a new looking Lakers, fans expected a different outcome. But under the leadership of Chris Paul, the Suns continue to break them down. Now, CP3 even beats his close friend, LeBron James to a historical record.

The Suns are currently torching the Los Angeles Lakers with a lead of over 20 points. Their main mastermind remains to be Chris Paul who keeps scoring and setting up fellow teammates. His experience is seriously hurting this new Lakers who are still trying to figure out a stable system. On the other hand, the Lakers are shooting terribly from the field at 40%. With all the new additions, they are yet to come up with a proper rotation and that is clearly showing.

However, during the game, Chris Paul made NBA history and did something no one else has yet achieved. His only close rival was LeBron James.

Chris Paul beats LeBron James to historic feat

As Phoenix continues to beat down the Lakers, Chris Paul is adding to his legacy. While he may not have a championship under his belt, he sure has made a case to be legendary. Some even call him the greatest point guard, he continues to live up to those expectations.

After doing what he does best, he went on to become the first player to reach 20000 points and 10000 assists in NBA history. CP3 has always been a leader and a true point guard. Hence, having 10K assists is no surprise. But his ability to score often goes under the radar since he is more focused on putting his teammates in a favorable position. Even in the ongoing game, Paul is shooting 5-8 from the field with 19 points and 12 assists in just 3 quarters.
