LeBron James surpasses Shaquille O'Neal for 4th on NBA playoff all-time scoring list
For the second time this postseason, LeBron James has jumped another legend.
Only a few weeks removed from taking fifth place on the NBA playoff all-time scoring list over Tim Duncan, the four-time MVP passed another legendary big man, Shaquille O'Neal, to claim fourth on the record.

Three minutes and 54 seconds into the third quarter, James scored an easy bucket in the paint on a dish from Kyrie Irving for his 19th point of the game to surpass "The Big Diesel."
There are three players ahead of James now, but who? Only a trio of the greatest players in the history of the game- Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan.
The 31-year-old has some work to do to pass the recently-retired Black Mamba, who has 5,640 total points sitting firmly in third.
