Mind you, James is known for his all-around game, not just for his scoring, yet nobody has scored more points than him.<\/p>\n<p>James ranks fourth all-time in assists, sixth all-time in steals and 23rd all-time in rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s even sixth all-time in 3-pointers.<\/p>\n<p>And now no one has won more than James. This is a guy who made it to 10 consecutive NBA Finals. In an era when a different team keeps winning the title every year it seems, that&#8217;s quite astounding.<\/p>\n<p>Some will always argue for Michael Jordan, and that&#8217;s fine. But it&#8217;d be tough for LeBron to have made a better case than the one he has.<\/p>\n<p>More NBA news:<\/p>\n<p>                            <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LeBron James continues to make the case that he is the greatest basketball player of all time.
