Lebron has never lost in the First Round of the playoffs
Lebron's been in the playoffs 7 times and has advanced past Round 1 every single time.
This does not mean too much, as he has missed the playoffs before, and missing the playoffs is not better than making the playoffs and losing in the first round. But hey, it is interesting to me and we still have 25 days until opening day.
So, name me another franchise player who has never lost in the first round of the playoffs (and has been there at least 7 times).

Tracy McGrady never got past the first round of the playoffs.

Yep, and Melo is 1 for 6 or something.
Which makes it all the more impressive to be 7 for 7.
Edit: Correction, Melo is 1 for 9.

Re: Lebron has never lost in the First Round of the playoffs
He's also 1-3 in Finals appearances. Potentially to be 1-4 this season if they play LA.

Stop and think about what you're saying. Most players don't GET to the finals in the first place. And what happened in his last finals appearance?
PS: Fvck Lebron.

I'm just saying he's not particularly reliable in terms of "finishing the job". Anyway, he just got a 'chip and is probably going to feel a lot more comfortable with himself and his game. I think if he loses again in the Finals it will hurt his legacy for sure.

Re: Lebron has never lost in the First Round of the playoffs
Did you forget that he didn't make the playoffs his first 2 seasons in the league, or does that swept under the rug here?

You should re-read the original post. He states that he has missed the playoffs entirely.

False... He was in the '09 Houston roster that made it past the first round...

Re: Lebron has never lost in the First Round of the playoffs
Duncan has never missed the playoffs (14 times) and the only time he lost in the first round is 2011, when he was way past his prime.

This.. Usually half the East playoff teams are barely .500 and some even have losing records...Pathetic
1-3 in the finals... Id be more impressed with the 3 times being there if he didnt choke and underperform in the first 2.. Last year was a great year for him though... Shame its going to be 1-4 soon.. Wilt junior...

Re: Lebron has never lost in the First Round of the playoffs
Not to discredit Lebron, but playing in the East does have a lot do with it. All of the teams mentioned above were mediocre .500 or under teams.

Nope. I clearly mentioned in the OP how missing the playoffs would be worse than making it and losing in the first round and mentioned that he has missed it before.
But if something were to have a legitimate reason for getting swept under the rug, it would be someone's first two seasons when they were 18-20 years old.

Re: Lebron has never lost in the First Round of the playoffs
And hey, that actually brings out about something that sounds even better...
...Lebron has made it to at least the second round of the playoffs ever year ever since he turned 21.

Kobe stans fapped over Kobe's stats against the Suns. I can't imagine what Lebron would've averaged against them. Lebron would've feasted on them.
