For as great as LeBron James has been, he has never known as a flat-out scorer. Yes, he's averaged a phenomenal 27.2 points during his 13-year career, but even he would admit he's more of a willing passer than a score-first player.

But LeBron passed one of the best pure scorers the game has ever seen Wednesday, topping Kobe Bryant on the all-time Finals scoring list.
