In that same game, he became the first player in NBA history with at least 30,000 career points, 8,000 rebounds and 8,000 assists.

Throughout February 2018, James averaged 27 points, 10.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game with 54/41/70 shooting splits in 10 appearances. He had four triple-doubles in that stretch and the Cavs went 6-4.

In the 2018 NBA Playoffs, LeBron James recorded at least 600 points, 200 rebounds and 150 assists for the second time in his NBA Playoffs career after doing it in the 2012 postseason.

No other player in NBA history has reached those all-around numbers throughout the league's history, which further enhances LeBron James' exploits in the 2018 NBA Playoffs and his postseason career overall.


#1 LeBron James is the only player ever to reach 700 points, 200 rebounds and 150 assists in a single postseason

LeBron James recorded 748 points (led the 2018 NBA Playoffs), grabbed 200 rebounds and gave out 198 assists (led the 2018 NBA Playoffs). James averaged 34 points, 9.1 rebounds and nine assists per game in the 2018 NBA Playoffs.

Even though LeBron James' run in the 2018 NBA Playoffs did not turn into an NBA title, the opposition in the NBA Finals, the stacked Golden State Warriors, was definitely unstoppable for those Cavs. Out of the seven players who have reached 700 points in a single postseason, only LeBron James in 2018 and Allen Iverson in 2001 failed to win the NBA title.

James' 748 points in the 2018 NBA Playoffs rank second in the NBA for most points scored in a single postseason, behind Michael Jordan's 1992 tally of 759 points.
