Career Playoff Field Goals Made Current Leader: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (2,356) James' Current Position: 2 (2,327) Difference: 29 FGM With a minimum of 3 playoff games left in LeBron James' 2018 playoff run, catching and surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record for the most career playoff field goals is well within reach.
Career Playoff Games Played Current Leader: Derek Fisher (259) James' Current Position: 5 (229) Difference: 30 Games
With a maximum of 13 games ahead of James in the current 2018 playoff run, James can potentially pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the number 4 position in career playoff games played.
Career Playoff 3-point Field Goals Made Current Leader: Ray Allen (385) James' Current Position: 2 (346) Difference: 39 3FGM
James is currently 39 made threes behind the all-time leader Ray Allen and is averaging 1.3 made threes per game during this year's playoffs meaning that James will likely have to wait until next season to claim the number 1 spot. However, with Stephen Curry currently third on this list with 330 made threes, there is a fair chance that he breaks Allen's record before James.
Career Playoff Rebounds Current Leader: Bill Russell (4,104) James' Current Position: 7 (2,032) Difference: 2,072 REB
James is averaging 9.2 REB during the 2018 playoffs giving the James' the potential to climb to number 6 on the all time playoff rebounds list. There is a fair chance that this is as high as James climbs on this list.
Career Playoff Assists Current Leader: Magic Johnson (2,346) James' Current Position: 3 (1,597) Difference: 749 AST
James is averaging 9.0 AST during the 2018 playoffs which means there is very little chance that James' moves up this list this year.
Career Playoff Blocked Shots Current Leader: Tim Duncan (568) James' Current Position: 18 (222) Difference: 346 BLK
Realistically, James could earn a top 15 spot on the all time list by blocking 11 more shots to pass Pau Gasol who is currently sitting with 233 career playoff blocks.
