Cavs star LeBron James hit yet another milestone in Monday night’s 111-102 win over the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
James went off, dropping 44 points on 17-of-28 shooting. It’s the 17 that really mattered, though, as he passed one of the all-time greats, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, in postseason field goals made.
He only needed six heading into the game.

James reacted to the milestone in speaking to the media after the game, calling it “humbling.”
"Anytime I'm in the same breath with the greats, it's just humbling."

It’s crazy to think how many more records James will break during the course of his career, as he’s only 33 years of age.
