LeBron James is all set to step into his 21st season and officially will play as the oldest player of the 2022-23 edition. Over his long career span, fans widely boast about him having a winning record against all franchises. However, in reality, the superstar doesn’t have a winning record on one team. That is Denver Nuggets. Notably, the defending champions decimated the Los Angeles Lakers with a 4-0 whitewash in the Western Conference Finals.

King James & Co have an opportunity to take revenge for their embarrassment, as they take on the Nuggets in the season opener. Moreover, the 4x NBA Champion could turn around the winning record narrative with a win on 24th October at Ball Arena. Let’s dive deep into James’ record against the Nuggets and his recent performances.

Stepping into the 2023-24 season, LeBron James has new challenges in front of him. Especially in the form of Victor Wembanyama. The 7 ‘4 baller makes his debut, and he has been seen blocking the superstars of the game in the preseason. However, the 38-year-old superstar has stood the test of time and he has given his dominant best in every season in the ever-changing dynamic league. Nevertheless, the Akron Hammer‘s record against the Nuggets hasn’t been great, unlike other franchises.

He has a winning record against all franchises except for the Denver side as he holds a 20-20 record. He could turn it around in the upcoming season by chipping in a few victories. But, it may seem like a herculean task going against the Finals MVP Nikola Jokic and his men.
