Twitter reacts to LeBron destroying Raptors and taking over 'LeBronto'
Death, taxes, and LeBron James clowning the Toronto Raptors.
The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar submitted a tantalizing performance Thursday to carry his team to a 128-110 Game 2 victory at Air Canada Centre.
It's become a familiar feeling for the Raptors, who've been eliminated by LeBron and Co. two years in a row. That Toronto finished the regular season as the No. 1 seed in the East didn't seem to faze the four-time MVP, who registered 43 points to put his side up 2-0 in the series while claiming sovereignty over the city of "LeBronto."
As you can imagine, Twitter had a field day.

I know Lebron hit some crazy shots but the way he gets everyone involved and how he sets them up for good looks and looks for mismatches is amazing. He’s bball IQ is out of this world

And, of course, there was slander directed at Drake, the Raptors global ambassador who was told by the NBA to be nice to opposing players.
