LEBRON JAMES DOMINATED the headlines once again as the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar made NBA history against the Charlotte Hornets yesterday.

A day earlier, James had moved ninth in the league’s all-time scorer’s list, overtaking Elvin Hayes in a victory over his former side the Miami Heat.

Against the Hornets, James netted a season-best 44 points, while becoming the first man in NBA history to reach 27,000 points with 7,000 rebounds and 7,000 assists.

Another landmark outing helped the Cavs to a 116-105 success, improving their record to 17-5 atop the Eastern Conference.

After his milestone night against the Heat, James was at it again as he stung the Hornets with a monster haul.

James had nine rebounds and 10 assists to go with his 44 points, Kevin Love backing his team-mate up with 22 points of his own.

Kemba Walker impressed for the Hornets with his 24, but it was all about one man at the Quicken Loans Arena.
