LeBron passes Kareem for postseason points

CLEVELAND -- Only one player in NBA history has scored more playoff points than LeBron James as of Wednesday night, the man James claims he is "chasing the ghost" of: Michael Jordan.

James clinched it with a 3-pointer at the 8:41 mark of the third quarter to put Cleveland up 75-59 and give him 27 points on the night.
