The Indiana Pacers are truly in rare territory when it comes to being a thorn in The King’s side.Speaking with reporters after the Pacers blew out his Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday to force a Game 7 in their first-round series, LeBron James paid Indiana a big compliment. He said that they were up there with the Boston Celtics among teams who have given him the most playoff trouble, according to Whitney Medworth of SB Nation. That is obviously no light comparison — the Celtics twice eliminated James from the playoffs during his first stint in Cleveland, and he needed Herculean efforts to dispatch of them two more times after that during his time with the Miami Heat. While the four-time MVP is a perfect 3-0 in playoff series against Indiana for his career, it took six games to defeat them in 2012 and seven in 2013. Now a Game 7 with the Pacers awaits once again for James on Sunday.We may know one particular reason why he thinks Indy is so troublesome too.
