LEBRON IN FIRST ROUNDS
Good luck, Indiana.
LeBron James not only never loses in a first-round series, but the man rarely loses first-round playoff games, period.
He’s played in 51 first-round games. His teams went 2-2 in his first four, and are 42-5 since — including 17-0 since May 6, 2012. James hasn’t played in a Game 6 in a first-round series since 2008.
James has been part of 131 wins so far in his playoff career, tied with San Antonio’s Tony Parker for the most among active players.
