LeBron James is ready to knock some Boston Celtics greats out of his way as he continues down the path of one day becoming the greatest scorer in the history of the NBA Finals.
With his ninth point of the night on Thursday during Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors, James officially passed former eight-time champion John Havlicek for eighth place on the NBA Finals all-time scoring list.
The King didn't stop there, though, as a floater early in the fourth quarter was enough to leap Tom Heinsohn for seventh place.
