LeBron James delivered his first truly great playoff performance last night as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers and as he is used to doing in the playoffs, after playing more minutes in NBA postseason history than anyone else, he moved up the record books. Although even he would admit his place in one of the all-time records isn’t a safe one for long.
With the Lakers win last night, LeBron moved past Tim Duncan to move into 2nd All-Time in playoff victories, second only to Derek Fisher’s 161. James also moved past Klay Thompson for 3rd on the NBA’s All-Time 3-point list, but even James admitted in the comments that Thompson will probably pass him pretty soon.
Thompson jokingly said, “why you gotta do me like that?”
“I have a strong hunch that you’ll pass me right back in the 2021 playoffs,” James replied to Klay.
LeBron has an opportunity to move closer to No. 1 in All-Time playoff wins tomorrow night as the Lakers look to take a 3-1 lead over the Blazers in Game 4.
