I found an interesting little stat about LeBron James and I want to share it.
LeBron James has not loss to an Eastern Conference team in a playoff series since 2010. That’s about 14 years ago. So let’s check it out:
LeBron loss to the Celtics in 2010, that’s when we faced them in the finals and witnessed a great 7 series.
Anyways, from 2011 to 2018, LeBron went to 8 straight finals meaning he beat every Eastern conference team for 8 straight years. 2019 Lakers did not make the finals so he didn’t play any Eastern conference team. 2020 Lakers played the Heat in the bubble and the streak was kept alive. So currently in the last 14 years LeBron is 9-0 when he plays an Eastern conference team in a playoff series.
He’s not just Lebronto. He owns the East.

Idk if I count years he didn’t play an East team in the playoffs.
Otherwise, Jokic has a 10 yr streak vs East teams in the playoffs and giannis has an 11 year streak vs west teams in the playoffs. Kawhi hasn’t lost to an East team in the playoffs since 2013.
Lebron absolutely breezed through the East when he was there, but to count 2021-2024 is just unnecessary. Not really a streak if you aren’t actively adding to it
