CLEVELAND -- After passing Michael Jordan as the No. 1 all-time playoff scorer last month, LeBron James has now eclipsed Jordan for third place on the all-time NBA Finals scoring list.
The Cleveland Cavaliers star passed Jordan (1,176 points) with his first bucket in Game 4 on Friday against the Golden State Warriors, a driving layup with 9:56 left in the first quarter. James set the mark in his 44th career Finals game. Jordan played 35.
The only players remaining with more Finals points than James are Jerry West (1,679 points) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,317 points).
