Can you provide any specifics? I've done a few quick searches and couldn't find anything to support your statement. However, he didn't miss an inning for over 5 years at the start of the streak. Also, I found this article that talks about the closest he came to missing a game.

Regardless, LeBron's streak is still a little less than half as many games as Ripken's. Combined with LeBron missing games during the streak and the fact that basketball has a lot more days off in the schedule and teams never play more than 2 days in a row, I'm still going with Ripken having the more impressive streak.
