James played 30 minutes in the contest and surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most minutes played in NBA history.

After last night's game, LeBron is at the top with 66,319 minutes, combining both the regular season and the playoffs. Abdul-Jabbar is now second with 66.297 minutes.

James has already surpassed Abdul-Jabbar in other categories as well. Most notably, he became the NBA's all-time leading scorer last season. Last week, he also passed the Lakers legend for the most field goal attempts in league history.

James is currently the leader in career playoff games and points, fourth in playoff assists and rebounds, but leads the league in career playoff and regular-season turnovers.

LeBron is averaging 25.5 points, 8 rebounds, and 6.6 assists this season, which is his 20th in the league.
