It wasn't until LeBron signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018 that the pair began to grow close. They also competed with one another on Team USA and won the gold medal in men's basketball at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics. In the regular season, they met 22 times, with LeBron dominating the series 16-6.
Kobe BryantĪmazingly, LeBron and the late Kobe Bryant never faced each other in the NBA Finals, despite one of the two playing in the championship series every season from 2007-16, before Kobe's retirement. The pair won a championship together in 2013. To close out his career, Allen teamed up with LeBron in Miami and went 133-52 (.719 win percentage), including 29-14 in the postseason, as his teammate. Allen's Celtics met LeBron twice more and fell 4-1 in the 2011 Eastern Conference Semifinals and 4-3 in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals.
After LeBron joined the Miami Heat in 2010 and formed a Big Three of his own with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, the Heat were nearly unstoppable in the postseason.
