It tells you how good LeBron James is and how mediocre the Cleveland Cavaliers have been for most of their history that the NBA All-Star needed less than five seasons to become the team’s all-time leading scorer.

James passed Brad Daugherty (bad beard) with a 28-point performance Friday night as he led the Cavs to a 90-83 victory over the Toronto Raptors at Quicken Loans Arena.

LeBron leads the league in scoring this year and has 10,414 points in 380 games in his career; Daugherty needed 548 games to set the old team mark of 10,389.

Against the Raptors, James scored 23 points after intermission to lead the Cavs to their ninth straight win at home. He also had 12 rebounds as Cleveland covered the point spread, which was five.
