Cleveland Cavaliers: The San Antonio Spurs Are LeBron James’ Real Rival

Yeah, sure, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors have had two of the most entertaining NBA Finals series in history in the last two seasons. But the San Antonio Spurs, who created “The LeBron Rules” in 2007, are LeBron James‘ real rival.

What are “The LeBron Rules”? Make him be a scorer by taking away his passing outlets and, above all else, concede space to him at the three-point line so that he can’t wreak havoc inside the paint.

With those rules, the San Antonio Spurs, who have managed to fly under the radar while being either 1st or 2nd in their division for the past decade, have defeated James in two NBA Finals series.
