LeBron James passes Michael Jordan as No. 1 all-time postseason scorer
James needed 28 points to pass MJ, and achieved the mark
The storied career of LeBron James continues.
Always compared to Michael Jordan throughout his career, LeBron has just definitely proved he's better than MJ... at least in one category.
During Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday night, LeBron passed Michael Jordan to become the NBA's all-time leading scorer in the postseason. LeBron needed 28 points to reach the milestone, and it didn't take him long to get going, as he scored 11 points in the first quarter, going a perfect 5-5 from the field.
He then passed Jordan late in the third quarter, as he casually pulled up on a deep triple that put the Cavaliers up 103-71.

At this point there's just not much more to say about what LeBron has been able to do in the playoffs. It's simply been incredible.
