I think the more interesting thing about that article (the original one from Cleveland.com) was how it described all the teams that tried to gear up against LeBron only to get wrecked and have the team broken up.
The Celtics were the team that LeBron teamed up with the Heat to beat and he ended up beating them twice while also breaking the Big Three up by recruiting Ray Allen. He then beat Pierce and KG again while they were with the Nets and low key broke that whole experiment up too.
The Bulls had MVP Rose, Noah and later Butler along with a great coach in Thibodeau and LeBron wrecked them three times (four if you include his first time with Cleveland). The Bulls insisted that they never got a proper rematch with LeBron after 2011 since Rose was hurt, but in 2015 the Bulls were relatively healthy and the Cavs were at their weakest yet LeBron still beat them, which resulted in Thobedeau, Rose and Noah all leaving within a year.
The Pacers lost to LeBron three straight times from 2012-2014 and even made a big deal about gaining homecourt advantage in 2014, only to have the LeBron beat them even easier than the year before. After that series David West was even conceding that the Pacers "can't beat him" referring to LeBron. George gets hurt and the team as constructed was broken up not long after (West, Hibbert, Vogel all gone).
The Hawks had the #1 seed 2015 and were considered to be on the rise before LeBron swept them basically by himself, then swept them again a year later. Teague and Horford leave and now the Hawks are back to being considered a treadmill team. Hawks are also 0-12 all time in the playoffs against LeBron.
Warriors beat LeBron in 2015 but he put on a legendary performance and the Warriors didn't get much credit for the championship because LeBron was basically playing 1 on 5. Feeling disrespected, the Warriors go on a historic run winning 73 games with the intent to defeat a healthy Cavs squad to silence all the doubters, only to suffer the ultimate ether by being the first team to blow a 3-1 lead in the Finals while having homecourt advantage. LeBron puts up another legendary performance and removes all doubt about who the best player in the world is.
That's not even mentioning the Thunder who broke up their big three of Durant, Westbrook and Harden after losing to LeBron. This started the chain reaction that eventually lead to Durant's departure from Oklahoma City.
Another thing I find interesting is how LeBron has not lost to the Dallas Mavericks since losing to them in the Finals, like he makes it a point to beat them.
