2012. 2013. 2014. 2017. These are all of the years LeBron James eliminated the Indiana Pacers from the playoffs. In four of Indiana’s last five postseason trips, Kings James has sent them home.
LeBron has been in the finals every year since he started playing basketball in Miami. The common notion is that it will happen again this coming June. An injury to Kyrie Irving makes his path somewhat easy again, sans the talented Toronto Raptors. It is unlikely any team could stop him in a seven-game series.
But hold on now common folk. The Pacers beat the Cavaliers three times this season in four tries, and that becomes four in five tries if you include the preseason.
