The US media took stock of James' historical ranking of 14 data in the playoffs, and 8 all-time firsts

LeBron James is considered by many fan media to be the first person in history, because he has also achieved a lot of great achievements and statistics in the playoffs. Therefore, the US media listed the historical ranking of James's 14 data in the playoffs.

1. Total playoff appearances - 1st place

1. LeBron James: 266 games

2. Derek Fisher: 259 games

3. Tim Duncan: 251 games

LeBron James has reached the NBA Finals 10 times in his career, and he has a record of 4 wins and 6 losses in the Finals. James first led the Cavaliers to the Finals in 2007, and after the Spurs' victory, the Spurs also beat James in the 2014 playoffs while he was in Miami.

At the Heat, LeBron James led the team to the Finals every season from 2011 to 2014. LeBron James then left to return to the Cavaliers, who reached the Finals from 2015 to 2018, including winning a seven-game series finals in 2016. LeBron James won the Finals in 2020, winning his fourth championship with the Lakers.

2. Total number of playoffs won - 1st place

1. LeBron James: 174 wins

2. Derek Fisher: 161 wins

3. Tim Duncan: 157 wins

LeBron James also led the Cavaliers to the Finals in his early years. Those 174 wins are far more than some players have won in their careers. If LeBron James can win two more championships, which is his best chance to tie with Michael Jordan, he could also become the first player in his career to reach 200 total playoff wins.

3. Playoff Game Total Score - 1st place

1. LeBron James: 7631 points

2. Michael Jordan: 5931 points

3. Abdul-Jabbar: 5762 points

Imagine michael Jordan's playoff total scores would not exceed 10,000 points without leaving the league in 1993 and 1998. Instead, LeBron James surpassed Michael Jordan on the playoff scoring list a few years ago. LeBron James is now less than 2,400 points away from the 10,000-point mark. Reaching a playoff total of 10,000 points would be a noble goal. When LeBron James won the championship in 2020, he scored 580 points, and now he needs to play four more NBA Finals trips, each scoring about 600 points to break 10,000 points.

LeBron James led all playoff scores six times. In 2007, LeBron James scored 501 points. When he won his first championship in 2012, he scored 697 points and then became the playoff leading scorer again with 596 points in 2013. LeBron James missed a championship in 2015, but he scored 601 points. His team missed out on championships in cleveland's final two seasons in playoff games, but he scored 591 points in 2017 and a career-high 748 in 2018.

4. Total playoff rebounds - 6th

1. Bill Russell: 4104 rebounds

2. Wilt Chamberlain: 3913 rebounds

6. LeBron James: 2391 rebounds

LeBron James is 90 rebounds away from fifth-placed Abdul-Jabbar. LeBron James needs to get 120 rebounds to overtake Shaquille O'Neal to be fourth and need more than 400 rebounds to reach the top three. When LeBron James reached the Finals in 2020, he hit a career-high 226 rebounds in the playoffs. If LeBron James can perform at least twice more in the Finals, surpassing Tim Duncan is not a big problem.

5. Total playoff assists - 2nd

1. Magic Johnson: 2346 assists

2. LeBron James: 1919 assists

3. John Stockton: 1839 assists

Only 13 NBA players have delivered at least 1,000 assists in playoff games. Only one player has more than 2,000 career assists, but LeBron James may soon overtake Magic Johnson to become the first all-time playoff assists total. LeBron James needs 427 assists from Johnson. James will need at least three long playoff games to catch up with him. When LeBron James reached the Finals in 2020 to win the title, he delivered a total of 184 assists in the playoffs that season. In the playoffs, LeBron James has 10 times to deliver at least 100 assists or more.

6. Total playoff steals - 1st place

1. LeBron James: 454 steals

2. Scotty Pippen: 395 steals

3. Michael Jordan: 376 steals

Before LeBron James became the first player to steal more than 400 in the playoffs, the two in front were Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen of the Chicago Bulls Dynasty. LeBron James' next goal now is to get into the 500 steals club. If James sticks with it for another four to five years, it's a achievable goal. Since his first appearance in the playoffs, LeBron James has had fewer than 20 steals in the playoffs. Assuming at his age he can keep that number of steals, he can deliver a total of 60 steals in three seasons, making it to 500 clubs.

7. Total playoff blocks - 10th

1. Tim Duncan: 568 blocks

2. Abdul-Jabbar: 476 blocks

10. LeBron James: 252 blocks

LeBron James, who is 37 years old and has yet to finish with 300 blocks in his playoff career, needs to get more than 300 more blocks to surpass Tim Duncan in first place. LeBron James is also not the only active player in the top ten, with Ibaka in eighth place with 292 blocks.

8. Total playoff minutes played - 1st place

1. LeBron James: 11,035 minutes

2. Tim Duncan: 9370 minutes

3. Abdul-Jabbar: 8851 minutes

LeBron James is the only player in NBA history to play more than 10,000 minutes in the playoffs. Bearing in mind that LeBron James has missed the playoffs twice in the past decade, now that there is a new lineup and the Lakers may return to the playoffs in 2022-23, LeBron James will continue to set this record.

9. Total playoff shots - 1st place

1. LeBron James: 5502 shots

2. Kobe Bryant: 4499 shots

3. Michael Jordan: 4497 shots scored

When you look at the top three, that's a great list. Even more impressive is that LeBron James shot more than 1,000 more shots than Kobe Bryant. Assuming that Michael Jordan made the playoffs in 1994, 1999, 2000, and 2001, and averaged 200 shots per playoff, LeBron James still shoots more shots than he does. From 2011 to 2018, LeBron James reached the NBA Finals every season, shooting more than 200 goals in just one season. That was in 2014, when he threw 192 goals.

10. Playoff three-point shooting total - 3rd place

1. Stephen Curry: 561 points

2. Clay Thompson: 451 points

3. LeBron James: 432 points

In the playoffs of the 2021-22 season, Klay Thompson overtook LeBron James for second place. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are both players who shoot offense from three-pointers, and LeBron James isn't a three-pointer-based star.

11. Total number of playoff free throws - 1st place

1. LeBron James: 1749 free throws

2. Michael Jordan: 1463 free throws

3. Kobe Bryant: 1320 free throws

Keep in mind that only 13 players in NBA history have made or more free throws in the playoffs than 1,000 times. Aside from LeBron James, the only active player is Kevin Durant. There are also only six players who have made at least 1,200 free throws, and LeBron James, who has a chance to end up with 2,000 free throws in the playoffs. That could require LeBron James to play at least one more season in the NBA Finals. History shows that when LeBron James makes the NBA Finals, he will make at least 100 free throws. He made 173 free throws in 2012 and 159 in 2018. In 2020, there were 108 free throws.

12. Playoff double-double total - 4th place

1. Tim Duncan: 162 double-doubles

2. Magic Johnson: 157 double-doubles

4. LeBron James: 130 double-doubles

If LeBron James could make a few more appearances in the playoffs, he could now be in the top three of the list. LeBron James is still 13 double-doubles short of overtaking Shaquille O'Neal to reach third place. At this stage of his career, it only takes 33 double-doubles to beat Tim Duncan, which can be a challenge. LeBron James has twice averaged a double-double in the playoffs. He averaged 30.1 points and 11.3 rebounds per game in 2015. The other time was when he averaged 27.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.

13. Playoff Triple-Double Total - 2nd place

1. Magic Johnson: 30 triple-doubles

2. LeBron James: 28 triple-doubles

3. Russell Westbrook: 12 triple-doubles

This is an interesting record that the NBA deserves attention in the coming years. Assuming LeBron James can make it to the playoffs, he only needs three triple-doubles to easily overtake Magic Johnson. LeBron James will be 38 next season, and the player with the oldest record for a triple-double is John Stockton, 39, 33 days old.

14. Playoffs Plus-Minus - 1st place

1. LeBron James: +1310

2. Tim Duncan: +1090

3. Draymond Green: +1005

Only three players score plus-minus +1000 points in playoffs or more. The first was LeBron James, who was ahead of Tim Duncan. Draymond Green is another player with a plus-minus rating of over 1,000 points. What all of these players have in common is that they all have four championship titles, with Manuginobili and Stephen Curry in fifth place. The difference between Draymond Green and LeBron James is that LeBron James has also played 121 more playoff games, and of all the top 5 players, he is the only player to average more than 40 minutes per game in the playoffs.
