LeBron James Becomes All-Time Leader in Playoff Games Played

The King is not joking. LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers finished the first half of Game 6 with a double-digit lead, and he made history. The great LeBron James became the ultimate leader of playoff games played. Yes, he came in town to win and hit a few milestones on the way.

LeBron is on fire and so are his Lakers teammates. Sunday’s game is full of excitement and dominance. Miami Heat players are lost in space and it looks like they are losing grip. This game is actually the 260^th game in LeBron’s playoff career. He is on the top of the all-time list.

The four-time NBA MVP is in his 17^th NBA season. LeBron missed the playoffs in the first couple of seasons in his career. Things changed overnight and LeBron made the postseason 14 times in 15 years. In his seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers, his teams have gone 14-0 in the first-round series. They have gone 11-3 in second-round series and 10-1 in the final series of the postseason. That’s not something you underestimate.

LeBron was tied with Derek Fisher for the top of the list with 259 games.

LeBron James to add more playoff games to his list

Here’s a different perspective. NBA fans know that 260 games are the same as 3.2 full regular seasons. About 63% of 4,489 NBA players who have played a regular-season game didn’t make this many games.

In other words, LeBron’s postseason career has more games than most NBA players had in their careers.

Game 6 of the Finals against Miami is LeBron’s 55^th NBA Finals game. This ties him with Jerry West for fourth-most in NBA history. Bill Russell played 70, Sam Jones had 64, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had 56.

LeBron has a long way to go, and we believe the word “retirement” is the last thing that pops in his mind right now. He is super focused on this win. it’s more than obvious that LA players will go home as winners.
