PHILADELPHIA -- A third championship in June cemented?LeBron James place as a top-10 player in NBA history in many peoples subjective rankings. There is no disputing his place as a top-10 scorer, at the very least, after Saturday.James passed Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon for 10th on the all-time scoring list in the first quarter of the Cavaliers 102-101 win over the 76ers on Saturday night.He scored on a fast-break layup with 6:02 remaining in the first quarter against Philadelphia, putting the Cavs up 14-7 and overtaking by one point Olajuwons career total of 26,946 points in the process. James finished with 25 points on the night.?For me, scoring has never been on my list of goals, James said after the game. Facilitating, getting my guys involved, and rebounding, defending, getting blocked shots and things of that nature always ranked above that, and for me to be in the top 10 with so many great players thats played this game -- I dont know how many, I dont even know the list of how many guys have played in this league since the inaugural year -- but ... its just a blessing. Its an honor.James is one of only three players in the top 10, along with Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, whose primary position was a wing player throughout his career. The rest, like Olajuwon, are centers or power forwards.Cavs coach Tyronn Lue played alongside two of the top 10 while with the?Lakers?-- Bryant (third on the all-time list with 33,643 points) and Shaquille ONeal (seventh with 28,596) -- and was asked to compare James to the pair.I dont think he gets the credit for scoring the basketball, Lue said before Saturdays game. I think just because he has a great all-around game as far as rebounding, passing the basketball, defensively [and] blocking shots. Hes a great all-around player, so we sometimes forget how great of a scorer he is. And hes right up there with those guys. They had a different mentality as far as Kobe wants to score, kill you every single night. But LeBron will beat you in every facet of the game.James worked out with Olajuwon -- the Dream Shake creator -- back in 2011.Well, I knew he worked guys out that wanted to get better and I wanted to expand my game, James recalled Saturday morning before shootaround. So, its not hard for me to reach somebody, and I wanted to expand my game in the low post. I felt like if I could do that then I could be more dynamic and make our team better, so, couple phone calls here and I was able to make it happen.Philadelphia also happened to be the place where James scored his 25,000th point toward the beginning of the 2015-16 season.They talk about his passing ability, his unselfishness, the way he rebounds the basketball and pushes the basketball, but hes a scorer also and people leave that out, Lue said. Hes averaging 25 points a game the last, what, 12 years? Cmon. Thats a scorer to me. But because his all-around game is so great, you kind of miss out on his scoring. To pass Hakeem Olajuwon, as a kid growing up watching Hakeem and to say that I can pass him on a top-10 scoring list, he deserves it because hes putting the work in.Elvin Hayes is next on the all-time list with 27,313 points.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Ryan Lochte and three other American swimmers were robbed at gunpoint early Sunday by thieves posing as police officers who stopped their taxi and took their money and belongings, the U.S. Olympic Committee said.In the latest security incident to hit the Rio de Janeiro Games, Lochte told NBC that one of the robbers put a gun to his forehead before taking his wallet. No one was injured.Lochte, 32, in a statement posted on social media describing the incident, also said he will aim to qualify for the Tokyo Games in 2020.?Lochte and his teammates were returning to the athletes village by taxi after a night out at the French Olympic teams hospitality house in the Rodrigo de Freitas area in the upscale south zone of the city. The outing was several hours after Olympic swimming ended Saturday night at the Rio Games.Their taxi was stopped by individuals posing as armed police officers who demanded the athletes money and other personal belongings, USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said in a statement. All four athletes are safe and cooperating with authorities.Sandusky told The Associated Press the robbers took cash and credit cards only, and that no Olympic medals were lost.Traveling with Lochte were Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen. Lochte swam in two events at the Rio Games, winning gold in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay. He is a 12-time Olympic medalist.Bentz and Conger were also part of that relay, their only event in Rio. Feigen was on the 4x100-meter freestyle relay, another gold-medal winner for the U.S. in Rio.We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing -- just a police badge -- and they pulled us over, Lochte told NBCs Today show Sunday. They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground -- they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didnt do anything wrong, so -- Im not getting down on the ground.And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, Get down, and I put my hands up, I was like whatever. He took our money, he took my wallet -- he left my cellphone, he left my credentials.USA Today and Fox Sports Australia first reported the news, citing Lochtes mother, Ileana Lochte.Word of the robbery touched off a chain of confusion between Olympic and U.dddddddddddd.S. officials. An International Olympic Committee spokesman said reports of the robbery were absolutely not true, then reversed himself, apologized and said he was relying on initial information from the USOC that was wrong.I couldnt believe it, said Michael Phelps, a good friend of Lochtes and one of his roommates in the athletes village. Phelps spent the evening with his family and wasnt out with his teammates.Brazils sports minister, Leonardo Picciani, said that the swimmers were outside their places of competition and outside the appropriate time. He said no athlete had run into problems at the venues or in the athletes village.We obviously regret that the violence has [gotten] so close to athletes, Rio Games spokesman Mario Andrada said Monday. We?have requested security authorities that they need to make sure everybodys safe everywhere in the city. We apologize to those involved. Once again, we regret that violence is still an issue at these games.Street crime was a major concern of Olympic organizers going into the Games. Brazil deployed 85,000 soldiers and police to secure the Games, twice as many as Britain used during the 2012 London Olympics.Last week, a Brazilian security officer was fatally shot after taking a wrong turn into a dangerous favela, or slum. Two Australian rowing coaches were attacked and robbed by two assailants in Ipanema, and Portugals education minister was held up at knifepoint on a busy street.In addition, stray bullets have twice landed in the equestrian venue, and two windows were shattered on a bus carrying journalists in an attack that Rio organizers blamed on rocks and others claimed was gunfire.American swimmer Nathan Adrian said hes not concerned about his safety.Rio is an amazing city, he said. Theres going to be problems anywhere you go. We have been briefed on how to mitigate those risks as well as possible.Now that swimming is over, Adrian added, the athletes want to see the sights and sounds of Rio.We just came off an amazing performance, he said. All of us are ready to enjoy that a little bit after a long time working really hard.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.? cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
