5 NBA teams LeBron James has most regular season wins against

LeBron James dominated the Eastern Conference for the majority of his NBA career. He alternated between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat for 15 of his 18-year run in the league so far.

To that effect, LeBron James had the most wins against Eastern Conference teams, seeing as he faced them more than their Western Conference counterparts. The most wins he has had against a team in the West is 28 against the New Orleans Pelicans.

After a successful run in the East, LeBron James is now a member of the LA Lakers and has brought them a championship in three seasons.

The 2021-22 season will be a fun run as the Lakers have built a roster that can compete for the title. If successful, LeBron will go into the history books once again for getting the Lakers their 18th title, the most by any franchise in NBA history.

That said, let's take a look at the top five teams that have recorded the most losses against LeBron James.

Five teams that LeBron James has recorded the most wins against in his career

#5 New York Knicks - 39

The New York Knicks have had a difficult time guarding LeBron James. In 55 games against the 17-time All-Star, they have lost 39 times.

One good thing the Knicks can hold on to is that they have given up the fewest rebounds against the LA Lakers star.

Even as the Knicks have lost 39 games to LeBron James, he has one of the lowest field goal percentages against them (49.7). The four-time NBA champion has scored 1,460 points, grabbed 389 rebounds, and made 395 assists.

#4 Toronto Raptors - 41

The city of Toronto was dubbed LeBronto after LeBron James' utter demolition of the Raptors in the postseason. He holds an impressive 12-2 run against them in the playoffs after several meetings in the Eastern Conference.

However, our focus is on the regular season, where LeBron James has also registered 41 wins against the Raptors in 56 games.

King James has the worst three-point average against the Raptors among every team in the top five. In total, he has registered 1,511 points, 400 rebounds, 433 assists.

#3 Atlanta Hawks - 42

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.

Among all teams in the NBA, LeBron James has recorded the most rebounds (472) and steals (103) against the Atlanta Hawks.

His total tally across the five main stat lines stands at 1,603 points, 472 rebounds, 427 assists, 103 steals and 43 blocks.

#2 Milwaukee Bucks - 42

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.
