As the NBA's announcement indicated, James has broken his tie with the great Wilt Chamberlain on the esteemed list. The four-time MVP is now sitting at the No. 3 spot alone, with his sights set on another Lakers icon, Magic Johnson, who currently has 13 more career playoff double-doubles over James.

The Los Angeles Lakers continue their first-round matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday afternoon, looking to tie the series up at two games apiece.

Instead, it was the Minnesota Timberwolves spoiling James' 38-point gem with a 116-104 victory in Game 3 behind a career night from Jaden McDaniels and another potential torch-passing performance from Anthony Edwards -- who could be on his way to his third dethronement of an all-time great in the past two seasons.
