LeBron James scores 44 points, passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for all-time FG playoff record

LeBron James put up 44 pts, 5 rebs, and 3 asts for the Cleveland Cavaliers as they defend the land against the visiting Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals.

Per ESPN, The 22-foot jumper off a JR Smith feed was the 2,357th made field goal of James' postseason career, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the all-time lead in that category.

"To know where I come from, small city 35 miles south of here, and to hear I'm in the same category or talked about and jumping these greats in the playoffs, it's pretty cool," James said. "You hear the scoring, the field goals made, and for a kid that really doesn't care much about scoring."

During the 2017 conference finals, also against the Boston Celtics, James passed Michael Jordan for No. 1 on the all-time postseason scoring list.

James also ranks first in all-time playoff minutes, first in all-time playoff steals, third in all-time playoff assists, seventh in all-time playoff rebounds and is tied for 16th in all-time playoff blocks.
