Along with that, he also crossed 500 points in the post-season. While that is a distinction many elite players have, but LeBron has gone a step further in proving his versatility. This is the sixth time LeBron has had 500 points, 150 rebounds, and 150 assists in the Playoffs. The only other player to ever do this in the NBA was Larry Bird, and he did it just once. Wow!
LeBron James has 500 points this postseason.
It's the 6th time he's had 500 points, 150 rebounds & 150 assists in a single postseason.
The only other player in NBA history to accomplish this feat was Larry Bird in 1987. pic.twitter.com/Q9tt6pj3Yc

With a possible Game 5 win, LeBron will make a lot more history. He will join the illustrious group of players that have won titles on three teams. He is on the precipice of becoming the first player ever to win Finals MVP for three teams. If he wins Finals MVP, he will move clear in second all-time for most Finals MVPs.
However, he will still be two short of Michael Jordan. But with this Lakers team and LeBron’s ageless play, you never know what more he achieves.
