LeBron has the chance to reach the NBA Finals for the eight straight season
LeBron James is ready to play the Eastern Conference Finals for the eight straight year.
LeBron has the chance to reach the NBA Finals for the eight straight season.
Per ESPN, Four wins against the Celtics will earn James his eighth straight Finals trip, tying him with Boston's Frank Ramsey for the third longest streak in league history and putting him only behind Celtics greats Tom Heinsohn and Sam Jones (nine straight) and Bill Russell (10).
"I haven't reflected on it," James said Friday when asked if he's looked back on his current Finals run. "But I do know that this is my eighth straight conference finals, and I have an opportunity to play for a championship if I'm able to be successful in this conference finals, so I don't take that for granted. You dream about being able to play in big games in the NBA, and even when I got to the NBA that was one of my only goals: to be as great as I can be, to play in big games in the NBA and be remembered, and I think I've done that in my career. Just trying to add onto it while I can."
