LeBron James has an unbeatable lead in this point/assists NBA playoff stat

During Game 3 of the Knicks/Pacers series, a graphic was shown on the broadcast of the top five all-time stat leaders for one specific category for the playoffs.

Brunson just cracked the list at number five which was impressive, but not as impressive as the obvious elephant in the room when you look at the graphic.

What was the big disparity in the graphic?

The graphic showed on the TV was the NBA playoff leaders for most games with 35 points and 10 assists.

Brunson recently moved up the list to number five with five games of 35/10.

Above him in fourth is the great Oscar Robertson who has six games of 35/10 and Michael Jordan with eight career playoff games.

Jerry West is slightly above MJ with ten career games with that statline, but the player in first with the amount of 35/10 games is mind-blowing.

LeBron James holds first place in this category with an incredible 120 35/10 games.

This mark is 110 more than Laker legend Jerry West.

To play even 120 playoff games in a career could be a major milestone for some players, and LeBron has had 120 games of dominance.

James has played in 292 career playoff games.

This means that he has recorded a 35/10 game in about 41% of games played.

This itself could be a huge piece of evidence used for why LeBron deserves to be the GOAT over MJ.
