Micheal Jordan record

James after Jordan's record

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron and four-time MVP James needs 28 to surpass Jordan's 5,987 postseason points – the NBA record.

"It's just a personal goal of mine," James told reporters on Thursday. "It has nothing to do with passing the rings, passing the points, passing MVPs. It's just my personal goal to keep me motivated — that's all."

Despite a terrible game three against the Boston Celtics that saw James score only 11 points, the three-time champion is averaging 32.3 points per game this postseason after the Cavs took a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
