- Klay Thompson opens up on Stephen Curry nicknaming him the ‘human encyclopedia’
- Thompson has a habit of combing through Wikipedia for information
- The four-time NBA champion noted LeBron James would become the mayor of Toronto for 10 minutes every now and then
LeBron James has dominated many teams throughout his 20-year career in the NBA. But the way King James toyed with the Toronto Raptors was unmatched. Many even coined a new nickname for him after seeing his dominant performances against the Raptors, ‘LeBronto.’
Speaking of LeBron James versus the Raptors, Klay Thompson shared a hilarious fact he found on Wikipedia. Thompson shared that every now and then, an edit would pop up where James would become the mayor of Toronto for about 10 minutes. Klay Thompson was narrating stories to support Stephen Curry, nicknaming him the ‘human encyclopedia.’
“We’re Millennials. We spend a lot of time on our phone,” Thompson said on a recent episode of Podcast P. “LeBron will beat like the Raptors back in the day, and you’ll Google the city of Toronto, and the mayor would be LeBron James for like 10 minutes. Who the hell has time to do all this?”

Klay Thompson was taken aback by how much free time people have as they make these edits on Wikipedia. Either way, James instilled fear in the Raptors. Even Klay learned disrespecting LeBron is not a good idea the hard way.
Former Toronto Raptors Star DeMar DeRozan Talked About Playing Against LeBron James
LeBron James has always brought his A-game against the Toronto Raptors throughout his career. In fact, the King has a phenomenal 42-16 record versus the Raptors.
Former Raptors star DeMar DeRozan, who locked horns with LeBron James several times in the Eastern Conference, once shared his true thoughts on being on the receiving end of the punishment. DeRozan even admitted that James ended his career with the Raptors.
“I think the play that sticks out to me is Game 3, my last year in Toronto, where he went full court, shot the one-legged floater, and made it. That was it, that was like the end of my time in Toronto, that was it.
“We was down 3-0, obviously, we lost Game 4. I was out the game and I just remember him shooting that one-legged floater and it going in, and I was just like, ‘s***, this is it here.’ That was it. That one haunt me for sure.”
From 2016 to 2018, James’ team knocked out the Raptors each time in the playoffs. The Cleveland Cavaliers won 4-2 in the 2016 Eastern Conference Finals, 4-0 in the 2017 Eastern Conference Semifinals, and 4-0 in the 2018 Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The hard part for DeRozan and the Raptors was to digest the 2018 defeat. After all, the Raptors were the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, and James still managed to sweep them in the postseason.
