For the seventh straight season, James will appear in the NBA Finals. Is he any closer to matching Jordan's greatness?
Prior to Thursday night's Game 5 win over the Boston Celtics, LeBron James made it crystal clear that his pursuit of Michael Jordan's legacy is, in fact, a "personal goal" of his, and it serves as motivation for him.
But playoff scoring is one area in which the King no longer has to pursue the GOAT. Near the end of the third quarter in the Cleveland Cavaliers' 135-102 closeout beatdown, James knocked down a trey and, in doing so, became the NBA's all-time leader in playoff points.
