Celtics' Jayson Tatum trails only LeBron, Kobe in elite playoff stat
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is cementing himself among the greats in NBA playoff history, as he has scored the third-most postseason points before age 27. Tatum passed Hall-of-Famer Tony Parker for No. 3 on the NBA's all-time list and now trails two of the greatest players of all time: Kobe Bryant (No. 1) and LeBron James (No. 2). Bryant scored 2,694 points in the playoffs prior to turning 27 years old, while James scored 2,578.
Examining NBA legends' best playoff performance: MJ, LeBron, Kobe, etc.
The NBA playoffs always deliver. Whether it is superstars battling or young stars bursting onto the scene, summertime in the NBA is when legends are made. Such is the case for guys like John Stockton and his Utah Jazz running into the buzzsaw known as the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. Sure, Jordan went 6-0 in the NBA Finals and his supporters cling to that number when discussing his status while using LeBron James' Finals record of 4-6 against him.
