Who has scored the most points in NBA playoffs?

This statistic only shows points scored in regular season NBA games and does not take the playoffs into account. Prior to breaking the all-time points record, LeBron James already held the record for the most points scored in playoffs, with 7,631 points. He is also the only player with more than 10,000 minutes played in playoff games, in large part thanks to his impressive streak of 14 consecutive playoff appearances (2004/05-2017/18) and a streak of eight straight NBA finals appearances (2010/11-2017/18). He is also the career leader for the Cleveland Cavaliers, for which he played a total of 11 seasons, in many important statistical categories like points, assists, rebounds, steals, and games played.
