LeBron James is now above Michael Jordan in one very important, objective area. On Thursday night against the Boston Celtics, LeBron passed Michael Jordan for the most playoff points scored in NBA history.
James’ historic moment came in the third quarter of Game 5, with the Cavaliers up by double-digits.
LeBron passed Jordan with a 3-pointer that came from the left side of the arc.
