LeBron James breaks Michael Jordan's record, hits double figures in 867 straight

CLEVELAND -- LeBron James passed Michael Jordan on Friday for consecutive games with 10 points or more. The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar hit double digits for the 867th straight time in a home game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

James reached the mark early, throwing down a two-handed dunk with 5:59 remaining in the first quarter to give him 11 points for the game.

"It's not like I set out to say that I want to be the No. 1 in scoring 10 points, double digits or consecutive games or whatever that and whatnot, but anytime like a statistical category comes up and I'm able to accomplish something like that, I mean it's pretty incredible," James said after shootaround Friday morning.
