LeBron James moves past Michael Jordan on NBA Finals all-time scoring list

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James attacked the basket and Golden State's Zaza Pachulia had no choice but to foul him early in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

James didn't care. He made the bucket anyway.

James missed a fadeaway jumper over Warriors forward Kevin Durant, but Tristan Thompson hustled down an offensive rebound and dished the ball back to a cutting James, who finger-rolled in a shot with his right hand as Pachulia delivered a two-handed shove.

James gave an emphatic fist-pumping motion to the crowd after hearing the whistle.

The bucket moved James ahead of Michael Jordan and into third place on the NBA Finals all-time scoring list.
