PG13 and LBJ first met in the playoffs in 2012. Chris Bosh gets hurt in game 1, misses the remainder of the series, but LeBron had an amazing series, finishing the stacked Pacers in 6 with a stat line of:

30/11/6/3/1 on 50% just another walk in the park for James firing off 30/11/6/3/1 on 50% fg

That 2012 Pacers team was stacked to the brim with talent as well:
David West
Danny Granger
Roy Hibbert
Paul George
Darren Collison
George Hill
Leandro Barbosa
Lance Stephenson

But then 2013 rolls by and the PG13 meets up against LeBron James again. This series went 7 games because Wade did his disappearing act (15 ppg on 43% as #2 option for the series). LeBron finishes the series in 7 with a stat line of:
29/7/5/2/2 on 51%

Finally, 2014 rolls around and this is PG13's third change to beat LeBron. Not only that, but Wade is sucking even more, his knees are fading fast! This is Paul George's chance! LeBron finishes the series with a:
23-6-6-2-1 on 56%

Lebron beat Paul George 3 years in a row, held that Pacers squad ringless (poor fellas) and averaged 28/8/6/2/1 on 52% for the 3 years. How can Paul George not hate LeBron James for this?

What the hell, Wade averaged 20/4/5 on 62%TS in 2014, he played perfectly fine in that series. And I wonder why you left out his 2012 production against Indy

Wade 2014 Finals were yikes

Pacers were stacked each year! Tough, defensive minded teams
