But has he played the Adelaide 36ers?
I’m interested to see who he hasn’t played
If they win and the kings win, it’ll be 24.
If they win that and the clippers, twolves or pelicans make the wcf, it’ll be 25
Last but not least, if they won all of that and the Cavs meet them in the finals, it would be 26. The Cavs are the only EC team not on this list. Also, civil war would break out in north east ohio
This is why I claimed I’d rather have healthy LeBron than Jokic (or anyone) this post-season. He still has the ability of a top 10 player, but with the mind of one of the greatest ever. This is the same dude who told a Raptors player where to line up for the play they are running because he did it incorrectly. That doesn’t go away with age. It only gets better.
(I will admit this is a little ironic given LeBrons end of game TOV vs. the Wolves)
Mike Bibby about to get hit on his bald head
That 2013 first round series against the Bucks was literally what started ‘Bucks in Six’. There’s so much history in so many of these series, it’s wild to think of LeBron’s footprint on the league that way.
OLD
A ton of All NBA talent on those teams.
Jesus
LeRecordBreaker
I could see a unicorn somehow surpassing LeBron’s new points total in a few decades, unless the 3pt shot rules change. I don’t think I can imagine anyone surpassing LeBron’s post-season accomplisments
You weren’t a real NBA fan if you didn’t try Fisher’s shot in the gym with the highest arc possible
It’s a little trippy seeing the Raptors so far down that list considering we first played him like 7 years ago.
I hope he goes 0-4 and retires. LeBoutTime
Very impressive
He’s played every eastern conference team in the playoffs except for his own which has been impossible.
How did Derek Fisher play 22 different teams in the NBA playoffs if he never played in the East?
Hate him all you want, but this is pretty remarkable. I still can’t get over the fact that he put up 29/8/7 in year 20 on pretty good efficiency. He’s him.
The bum hasn’t even faced the kings yet
Passing Kareem is one thing but Derek Fisher? That’s some all time shit
LeBron had never in his life defeated the Liaoning Flying Leopards.
He’s played every eastern conference team except the Cavs, lol.
Should be the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2009 Finals, what a series we as fans were robbed of
Celtics faced him the most. Thought we’d be tied with the Pacers tbh
Doesn’t have the ultra rare sacramento kings patch!
Curry got him beat
No wonder he wanted that mm matchup with the Legendary playoff Kings
I’d like to point out that DFish only played for Western Conference teams and thus only had the opportunity to face eastern conference teams in the finals.
