Jordan was swept in a playoff series twice in his career. Caveat? They were both in the first round and therefore 5 game series and...they were both against the Boston Celtins. 1986 was the first time. They were the 8 seed and the Larry Bird led Boston Celtics were #1. The second time was 1987. And yes they were again the #8 while the Celtics were #1.
How many times was LeBron James swept in a playoff series?
LeBron has been swept in a playoff series three times. The #2 Cleveland Cavaliers were swept in the 2007 NBA Finals by the #3 San Antonio Spurs. The #4 Cavaliers were swept by the #2 Golden State Warriors in the 2018 NBA Finals. The #7 LA Lakers were swept by the #1 Denver Nuggets in the 2023 Western Conference Finals. That allowed LeBron and the NBA to go support China a little bit more if they chose to.
