When LeBron James was on the Miami Heat, he and his teammates had a great rivalry going with the Indiana Pacers.

For three straight seasons, the two teams battled in the playoffs, twice in the Eastern Conference Final and once in the second round.

Despite being heavily favoured, it took the Heat six games twice and seven games once to top the Pacers in the playoffs over that three year stretch.

The most memorable moment from that rivalry, however, didn't have anything to do with basketball.

Instead, it had something to do with Lance Stephenson trying to get in LeBron's head.

Fast forward to the 2016-17 season and Stephenson and James will battle once again as the Cavs take on the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs.

Based on a certain LeBron Instagram like, though, he's not worried and very ready for the series.

With the way Cleveland's been playing lately, this could be a much better series than people think, especially with the combustible element of Stephenson in the equation.

Game 1 goes Saturday in Cleveland, and the internet will be anxious for the next great meme from Lance.
