A select few will blame the Atlanta Hawks for LeBron James' subpar 2021-22 NBA season, as it was against them he hurt his ankle. From then on, he missed over 20 games in the season and was not 100% against the Phoenix Suns in Round 1 of the playoffs.

Regardless, LeBron James' win tally against the Hawks stands at 42 games out of 59 played.

Although LeBron James and Anthony Davis have said that the MVP and DPOY (both Giannis Antetokounmpo) snub in the 2019-20 season did not bother them, we can't help but wonder if that was a motivating factor in last campaign's regular season.

Even as the series was split 1-1, the LA Lakers won the first game emphatically, and the second could have had a different outcome if LeBron and Davis were available.

Regardless, the Milwaukee Bucks have been on the losing side a lot against LeBron James. In 59 games, James has won 42 while averaging 39 minutes per game.

LeBron James is undoubtedly an offensive juggernaut, but the Bucks have had an exceptionally hard time making stops against him.

In their last meeting, LeBron finished the game with 34 points, eight assists, and six rebounds. Overall, he has registered 1,696 points, 439 rebounds, 418 assists, 87 steals, and 40 blocks.


#1 Charlotte Hornets - 46

The Charlotte Hornets remain the worst performing team in NBA history following their 7-59 run in the 2011-12 season. LeBron James has also had his fair share of wins against the Hornets, winning 46 of their 52 meetings.

LeBron James has played the least number of games against the Hornets among all the teams in the top five, but has been the most effective from the field (53.7%).

So far, his tally has stood at 1,456 points, 405 rebounds, 393 assists, 75 steals, and 50 blocks. On March 18, 2021, he put up 37 points past the Hornets before he got injured in the next game against the Hawks.
