In the Eastern Conference if you want to win a ring, you literally have to get by the King, LeBron James.
No stat makes that statement truer, than the record-breaking achievement James accomplished on Monday night after the Cleveland Cavaliers' 123-109 win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

“That’s pretty cool,” James said of the potential milestone before the game, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. “I had no idea about that, but that’s pretty cool. To be able to be in a position where you kind of control a division, that’s a pretty unique thing to me.”Here’s the full decade long breakdown (via Basketball-Reference):
