HISTORY FOR LEBRON

Never in his historic career has LeBron James been this big of an underdog. The Los Angeles Lakers are around 15.5-point underdogs to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday in Game 1 of their series. That’s the largest underdog role for James in the playoffs or regular season, per ESPN Research. The next largest spread on a game involving James came in the 2018 Finals when the Cleveland Cavaliers were 13-point underdogs to the Golden State Warriors.
