The 11-game skid marks the superstar forward&#8217;s longest of his career against a single team. However, it still trails Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan&#8217;s longest losing streak against one opponent.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2024\/04\/6efcc-17141115991467-1920.jpg\" alt=\"What is Michael Jordan\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The five-time MVP is widely considered James&#8217; biggest competition in the GOAT conversation, with their fans regularly clamoring for stats to use as debate fodder. Thus, many have wondered how James&#8217; undesirable losing streak compares to Jordan&#8217;s longest.<\/p>\n<p>Per Stathead, Jordan lost 13 consecutive games against Larry Bird&#8217;s Boston Celtics from March 21, 1986 to April 28, 1987. That includes the Celtics sweeping Jordan&#8217;s Bulls 3-0 in the first round of the 1986 and 1987 playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>The series sweeps occurred during Jordan&#8217;s second and third seasons. However, he never matched up against Boston in the playoffs again, finishing winless (0-6) against Bird and the Celtics in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Jordan later redeemed himself, guiding Chicago to six NBA titles from 1991 to 1998, retiring as arguably the league&#8217;s greatest player ever.<\/p>\n<p>As for James, his 11-game losing streak against Denver has come at the tail end of his career, with the skid beginning on Jan. 9, 2023. However, it only has a chance to extend to as high as 12 games this postseason.<\/p>\n<p>If James and the Lakers lose Saturday&#8217;s Game 4 showdown against the Nuggets, they will be swept from the playoffs&#8217; first round. Thus, they will have to wait until next season to end the streak.<\/p>\n<h2>LeBron James hopeful to avoid 12th straight loss against Denver, one shy of Michael Jordan&#8217;s longest losing streak against single team<\/h2>\n<p>LeBron James and LA may not have beaten Denver since Dec. 16, 2022. However, the four-time NBA champion remains optimistic that the Lakers can avoid their 12th straight loss against the Nuggets.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LeBron James: &quot;It&#39;s one game at a time at this point&#8230; As long as you still have life, then you always have belief, you play until the wheels fall off.
