Madison Square Garden has long been a place where LeBron James has had some of his biggest moments. The Los Angeles Lakers star added another one on Tuesday night at the "World's Most Famous Arena."

James had 11 assists in the Lakers' 129-123 overtime win over the New York Knicks, moving him into No. 4 all-time in NBA history. It was part of the 38-year-old's first triple-double of the season, as he added 28 points and 10 rebounds.
