LeBron James is an insane player. Entering the 20th season of his career very soon, James is still regarded as one of the best players in the league. Moreover, apart from his stint with the Lakers, LeBron has been extremely successful in the playoffs.
Well, despite not being that successful in the postseason with the Lakers, he has still delivered an NBA Championship to the City of Angels. With rumors of Kyrie Irving potentially joining the Lakers, LBJ’s stats are only bound to improve further.
But how great is LeBron actually in the playoffs? Well, for example, he has scored more points than 7 NBA franchises in the playoffs since the year 2000. Not impressed with that? An NBA fan on Reddit has pointed out an even shocking fact that proved how great LeBron is in the playoffs.
Reddit user u/allthatglittersis___ has pointed out that LeBron currently has more playoff wins, points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks than the entire New Orleans Pelicans. Here are the stats as per the Redditor:
He’s the only player to lead an entire franchise in all 5 major statistical categories
Wins: 174 to 22
Points: 7631 to 5289
Assists: 1919 to 1149
Rebounds: 2391 to 2274
Steals: 454 to 391
Blocks: 252 to 243
Most fans know that LeBron is a beast in the playoffs, but leading a franchise in all 5 major statistical categories is something else. The biggest shock is the fact that he has 152 more wins than the Pelicans. This is really a huge difference.
This stat tells us two things. First, that LeBron James is simply insane in the playoffs. And second, the New Orleans Pelicans need to do much better in the playoffs. With Zion Williamson signing a 5-year max contract with the Pelicans, maybe he can become the person to change the fortunes of the team.
