LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers did it again on Friday night.
His team took down the Memphis Grizzlies with a massive, monster win.
James has eliminated so many teams in playoff series during his career that he probably can’t remember them all.
ESPN points out that the Grizzlies are the 20th different franchise that James has beaten in a playoff series.
He now ties Derek Fisher and Robert Horry for the most in NBA history.

James has now appeared in a whopping 16 postseasons since joining the league.
For most of those series, his team has played more than a dozen games.
There are certain players in the league, such as James and Stephen Curry, who have participated in so many playoff series that their experience and knowledge will always pose a threat to other teams.
Even squads that are much younger with seemingly more energy shouldn’t count James out.
The Grizzlies just learned that the hard way.
Now the question is how far the Lakers can go.
James has been quite strong so far in the playoffs, averaging 22.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 5 assists.
But he’s not the only star player shining on the team.
Others like Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, and Rui Hachimura have been repeatedly impressive too.
Therefore, if the Lakers are able to push past the second round of the playoffs, it won’t just be because of James.
Next up for him and his team will be either the Sacramento Kings or the Golden State Warriors.
Will James’ stunning postseason success rate continue?
