King James joins NBA elites with 5,000 career playoff points
By David D’Angelo
Lebron James a.k.a. “King James” finally joins NBA elites like Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by passing the 5,000 career playoff points mark during the Game 6 of the NBA Finals. LeBron James is registering more than 40 points per game which analysts says should make him eligible to be the NBA Finals MVP despite a win or a lose by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Cleveland Cavaliers is said to have the worst supporting cast to ever make the NBA Finals according to an information online. His team ranks 60th out of the last 62 NBA teams in the finals. Perhaps this would explain why King James has become the primary ball handler, post player, distributor, creator, and scorer for the Cavaliers.
NBA Elites who are part of the most number of career playoff points are as follows: Michael Jordan – 5,927 points; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – 5,762 points; Kobe Bryant – 5,640 points; Shaquille O’Neal – 5,250 points; Tim Duncan – 5,113 points; and LeBron James – 5,000 points and counting.
During the 2015 NBA Finals it should also be noted that LeBron had 11 times more shots compared to his career plus his usage rate in the finals is nearly at 40% which is even higher than the highest usage rate in a season in NBA history at 38.7% recorded by Kobe Bryant in 2005-2006.
