#1 LeBron James

LeBron James has played in 239 post-season games(second to only Tim Duncan's 251) and has scored 6,911 points averaging 28.9 points per playoff game. His playoff scoring tally is astronomical, in terms of the fact that the person who stands second(Michael Jordan) is 924 points behind.

Also, the only active players on the top 10 list, Tony Parker (4,045) and Dwyane Wade (3,954), have huge ground to catch up, which seems pretty unlikely. Practically, James is going to be NBA's leading playoff scorer for a seriously LONG time(added that he has a couple more seasons in him AT LEAST before he retires).

In 2017–18 he played a full 82-game regular season for the first time in his career and led the NBA in minutes played per game (36.9) while averaging 27.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, and a new career-high 9.1 assists per game.
He has completed 15 seasons in the league and has been named an All-Star for 14 consecutive years, also winning the NBA 'Rookie of the Year' in 2004. With 3 NBA Championships (2 with Miami Heat and 1 with the Cavaliers) and 4 regular season MVP awards already, James doesn't look like stopping before he has crashed every record there is in the basketball books.
