As LeBron James left the Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday night after a 125-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors in game two, he walked out with another milestone to add to his collection. Moving up the NBA playoffs all time scoring list was just one of the King's achievements on the night. He also hit his 300th postseason three pointer of his career, a feat that only three other players in the history of the league have achieved. Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Manu Ginobili. This is a crazy achievement considering the criticism LeBron has received over his career for his three point shot, some calling it non existent or unreliable.
But the biggest accomplishment for King James in game two of the second round, was clearly the achievement that put him ahead of the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the all-time list.

This stat also put the King ahead of Jordan, Mike averaged 32.7 points per contest in his first 6 games in 1993. With LeBron being compared to players like this, it shows just how dominant the level of play he is playing at, especially at age 32.
