LeBron James has done something unforgettable for the Raptors’ fans, donning the Cavs uniform. We all know James’ unfortunate playoff run against the Warriors dynasty in the late 2010s. But, not many speak about the Raptors’ misery. Moreover, fans find the Raptors as the superstar’s favorite team, as he has a 44-16 record. A fan perfectly summing up this emotion, wrote, “Yeah he about to bring them flashbacks.” and another fan wrote, “Well LeBronto is not over.”
LeBron James’ Halloween outfit remains fans of the Raptors’ playoff misery
The Canadian side won the 2019 NBA Champions defeating the Warriors in Game 6. However, before reaching the 2019 Finals, the Raptors had to go through three years of hardship. The team had the potential to win the ring, but they had an obstacle on their way. It was LeBron James’ Cavs.
The Cavs eliminated them thrice in the playoffs. Once in the Eastern Conference Finals and twice in the Semi-Final series. Notably, two of them were clean-swept. Keeping that in mind, a fan wrote, “Lebronto was such a cold era, a great time to be a lebron fan.” However, on the other hand, there are naysayers as well. A fan wrote, “Dude was on super teams beating up a weak Raptors team, and they really give him credit for that.”
Looking back at the Cavs team from that era, apart from LeBron James and a developing Kyrie Irving, the team didn’t have any star power. On the other hand, the Raptors weren’t any weak side. They had players like OG Anunoby, DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and many role players. So, the naysayer must have completely lost track of the era.
And, the tradition seems to have continued. Tonight, the Lakers again closed out with a 131-125 win and LeBron James recorded 27 points with 10 assists. Loyal James fans couldn’t have asked for anything better on Halloween!
