On Monday, LeBron James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 111-102 victory over the Boston Celtics to even the Eastern Conference Finals at 2-2. But bringing the Cavaliers back wasn’t the only bit of news LeBron made on the night.
With a jumper in the second quarter, James passed Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most field goals made in NBA playoff history. LeBron would go on to finish with 17 total baskets, scoring 44 points on the night.
Following the game, James spoke about the accomplishment and was humbled to be at the top of the list with so many other NBA legends, via ESPN’s Dave McMenamin:
“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.
