NBA Twitter revisits the LeBron James era of reign of terror over the Toronto Raptors as the playoffs begin tomorrow

The NBA Play-In Tournament is about to end tonight, and soon we shall have the final two teams heading to the playoffs as well. The NBA Playoffs start tomorrow, and it’s a moment for celebration for all fans. Playoff basketball is one of the most enjoyable times for all fans, well if your team makes its way there. Sorry Lakers fans.
However, each team has that one player, they are happy they don’t have to face in the offseason. For the Toronto Raptors, that guy is none other than the King himself, LeBron James. LBJ has given Raptors fans many sleepless nights and teary eyes.
For three consecutive years, LeBron James and his Cavaliers kicked the Raptors out of the playoffs. In 2016, they beat the Raptors 4-2 in the Conference Finals. In 2017, LBJ swept them in the Conference Semi-Finals and repeated the same in 2018.
The Raptors fans were probably the happiest when LBJ decided he was taking his talents to Tinseltown. Right after he left the East, the Raptors went on to win the whole NBA Championship.
NBA Twitter trolls the Toronto Raptors over the way LeBron James used to own them
Recently, a Twitter user found an image of the Toronto Raptors and their camouflage jerseys. Using this as a perfect backdrop for a meme, they captioned the same,

Best thing that ever happen for the raptors was Lebron heading to the westcoast.

We haven’t seen a team getting owned as hard by a player as hard LeBron James owned the Raptors. Things have changed since, but the LeBron reign of terror over the Raptors still haunts the fans up North still.
