So giddy because 39 yr old Lebron is about to lose to the Nuggets. Guess they forgot the Lakers knocking out the Nuggets. Lebron owned the Raptors his whole career, it’s not close to the same thing https://youtu.be/mQz4iE20Quw?si=5vVzQzCWYGz1aDpQ

Did Toronto get swept by LeBron in back to back years and lose 11-12 games straight to the Cavs?

LeBron eliminated the Raptors for 3 straight years in the playoffs and got swept in the last 2 years eventhough they are favored to win in 2018 after Kyrie left Cleveland thus the nickname LeBronto as they never stand a chance against LeBron and outplayed their 2 best players combined by himself in a sweep.

Read on Twitter


Before LeBron turns 38, he beat Jokic 15 times out of their 23 games when they match-up against each other and eliminated the Nuggets in 2020 Playoffs. Sure, Jokic beat LeBron for 10 straight games so far when most of the players retired when they reach his age but Larry Bird beat Jordan for 13 straight games in his athletic prime. Jordan in the 80's was much closer to LeBronto status than LeBron is against the Nuggets as they will be 2-1 in a playoffs series but I see where you are coming from with this agenda just by reading your username so carry on, OP and have fun because you guys waited long enough for this.

I know this is more a silly thread but lets add a bit of context.

Raptors were in their prime and number 1-3 seeds when the Cavs were beating them 3 years in a row.

Comparing that to a Top 1-2 seed besting an 8th seed team 2 years in a row is eer a little different.

Shouldn't even need to add that LeBron is 39 or that Denver has an obviously better team, only with hindsight do people say that about at least the 18 Cavs. Almost no one gave them a chance.

Was Lowry and Derozan 39 or were they in their prime? Not to mention Nuggets are #1 seed vs Lakers #8. Whereas Raptors were the #1 seed and got swept by the Cavaliers. Sorry Captain Canada but this is not remotely the same.

no team in hitory had beaten another team 10, 11 or 12 straight times
I think it's a bit more than "2 series" but yeah, LBJ is very old it's def not a knock on him to be dominated at almot 40 years old by an ATG player in his prime

Threads like these are the reason why I hope that LeBron doesn't give his haters what they want, and that's for him to simply lay down and just retire a Laker. He should switch organizations again to keep striving for another CHIP. That would really get them angry, again...

I'm not 100% sure but I think Bird's Celtics beat Jordan's Bulls for 16 straight games including 2 playoffs sweep in 86-87.

nope, in 85-86 the C's lost a regular season game to the Bulls (17.12.85) in Chicago to break that streak

edit: however, i looked it up and what i said is indeed false - Denver's streak on the Lakers is only 5th among active streaks!

far from nothing and the fact that 7 of those came in the playoffs but def not the longest

Aren't they currently 1-1 in series' against each other? Last year Denver won, 2020 Lakers won. Lakers won a title after beating the Jokic Nuggets in the WCF. They got one before Denver did, in fact. I think the situations are pretty different.

Denver winning this season would make it 2-1 Denver, which gives Denver the edge especially if they go on to win the title, but it's not a LeBronto situation.

I think the Celtics' 16-game winning streak against Jordan's Bulls started in 86' up to 87'.
