@Jiggy Thanos the fact that ur almost in every comment hating is sad bro wtf u even doing on the vid if u hate him u know there's only gonna be fans commenting like bro get a life if u hate him oh well but stop trying to bring other people down cause there favorite player is a beast if they believe hes the goat let them have their opinion don't be a bitch go somewhere else pls bro shits sad
@canWego Backintime you're fuckin toxic hating on someone that's better than you and achieving more than what you achieve in life lol.stop hating dude you're walking in a wrong path.
@canWego Backintime Oddly homophobic comment. Interesting how you would be so quick to reference "slurping sausage". Also strange considering YOU clicked on a LeBron highlight video. I guess it's easier to approach jealousy with hatred and ignorance than solemn acceptance.
@canWego Backintime stfu dude "3 aNd 6" bro not everyone gets to have a hall of fame coach and play on the best team in the league like MJ. MJ never played against anyone as good as golden state with KD or even the Spurs, also MJ played 14 seasons and only went to the finals 6 times? seems like he did a lot of losing (especially getting swept twice in the first round PS. LeBron never lost in the first round). Don't watch Bron highlights if you cant appreciate the greatness and domination.
The is the most impressive playoff run in NBA history, this cavs team wold be amongst the bottom 5 teams in the league with no James, instead they reached the NBA finals.
Don't listen to people, they cannot recognize greatness... He was the MVP and the Finals MVP. Lebron was amazing with those pieces of paper as teammates.
@@TheTariqibnziyad lol Raptors' problem to reach the finals was LeBron. They have a pretty solid team. Look at them without Kawhi before and after. And GSW was injured. Hakeem did it without MJ playing. Dirk was phenomenal but he didn't have to carry the load LeBron. Now look at the Cavs without LeBron
@@thomasleone18 if Lebron played Kawhi in 2019 he would have lost, that's clear. And no it's LeBron who wants to carry the load, not the load that is put on him, if he stepped back and allowed his team to develop and his coach to coach he would've had better success, but no LeBron is a Diva, a control freak, he can't trust no one, and that's his downfall.
This Goat picked up the Cavs franchise and put them on his back this series. How many dudes do you see have consistent dunk highlights, contact finish highlights, three points highlights and passing highlights. He even got mid post highlights... Sheesh
The thing is Lebronwas being heavily defended with tall players, multiple doubleteams, and he still managed to be the most efficient on his team. Just saying, Kobe never played this efficient even with multiple shooters around him. Oh and if you wanna say that it's just the pacers, go and check the next series vs the raptors.
canWego Backintime wait you're the same guy who told me Lebron would lose in the first round right? Didn't see you calling the east weak there? All Lebron haters are the same, just constant shittalking.
Say what You Want About His Finals Record But Couldn’t Nobody Do What This Man Did Last Season. Change the Whole Roster Midseason And You Still Go to the Finals.
@watchful news umm it's really not easy mate...Chemistry is something every coach and legend say is required.....Only Kobe and Shaq were really the exception, but they had chemistry on court, but hated each other off court! Bro respect greatness where it's due!
@watchful news bruh I swear you're just a troll and nothing you say makes sense 🤦 your dumbass really thinks making it to 8 straight finals isn't impressive? Bron carrying the bum ass Cavs to the finals isn't impressive? Bron killing the FUCKING WEST this season isn't impressive...he's MVP top candidate in his 17th year dumbass! He's 35 fool...get a fucking life nigga...dumbass imbecile! 🤢
I've been watching Jordan's games these days but I still think that Lebron is better. Lebron is literally a different kind of player than Jordan and Kobe. Jordan and Kobe have more efficient mid range jumpers but Lebron is good at almost everything. He even plays PG, SF, and PF efficiently. His passes and his power is amazing. His speed is incredible even if he is 6'8 and is 250lbs but he's not playing defense lately.
Idk man. I literally laughed out loud when I looked back and seen the Cavs starting 5. This playoff run might just put Lebron over MJ. And im a HUGE MJ advocate. I don't even think Jordan could get these guys to the Finals. Not because of talent on MJs part just because of his playing style. LeBron facilitates. Thats crazy 😂
I mean MJ could facilitate. He jsut plays in a system so the ball has to move around. Lebron doesnt play in a system so he can make any decision he wants with the ball. Look at 89' before Phil became the Coach, MJ averaged 32, 8, 8. Those are around the same numbers that Lebron averages. MJ could do the same thing if he had the ball more. He can def beat Oladipo, Demar, and a rookie Tatum in the playoffs.
@@shakespear8583 April fools what? MJ averaged 35, 7.5, 7 and 2.5 steals that postseason with the next highest scorer being Scottie Pippen. He dragged his team to the ECF and lost to the eventual Champions Detroit Pistons, who by the way swept every team including the Lakers except the Bulls. MJ basically did what Lebron did in 2018 if not better considering the defense.
@@supremeleem9488 but if you give Michael jordan this cavs team tho? yeah about the same stats but numbers doesnt mean the same thing lebron facilitated better my bro if you think its the same thing then t gadam. passing the rock doesnt mean facilitate. you calling up every play means facilitate.
Yet everyone who used PEDs their body gave up after few amazing years. It literally kills your body. Yet LBJ body is like greek gods ;D they need to make clones out of it. So thats your theory
@Jiggy Thanos This dude is salty af, lebron is living in your head rent free, your hating a man that doesnt care to you at all, youre talking-hating more bout lebron than his fans. Are you delusional? Wrap it up.
I believe this was the best version of Lebron. He could shoot mid or 3, he could pass like any legendary point guard and he could go to rim at will. Absolutely Monster! The first game against gsw in the finals was shame, thanks to george hill, refs and of course one and only jr the junky.
This guy has a losing finals record just because he literally carried the cavs with that horrible team and he doubled the franchise’s net worth and haters gonna say he ain’t even top 5 of all time?
Top 5...mj,Kobe magic KAREEM duncan FACTS...lebron #6 on my list. Alltime great playoff run right here but I have seen him lose with a better team against infurier competition (09 vs Orlando...11 vs mavs...14 vs spurs) I know 17 warriors were stacked but I felt if he had beating that team that makes him GOAT 🤷♂️
@@mackdef475 How is Kobe 2nd ahead of LeBron? Kobe is borderline top 10 while LeBron is minimum top 2. I would also put Bird and Hakeem in the top 5 ahead of Kobe and Duncan. You can claim that LeBron lost to inferior competition in the 2009 Magic and 2014 Spurs, but that wasn't how it played out. The team support that LeBron actually recieved in the 2009 ECF and 2014 Finals was inferior compared to the competition that he was playing against. LeBron played great individually in those series', but his team just didn't come along. You can argue that LeBron beating the 73-9 Warriors while leading both teams in ppg, apg, rpg, spg and bpg for the series (the only player to ever do that in any playoff round) made LeBron the GOAT. You can also argue that this 2018 playoff run and winning the assist title and NBA title in the same season in 2019-20 made LeBron the GOAT. Idk how you can claim that Kobe is greater than LeBron though, I don't understand any angle that you can try to take. LeBron is better than Kobe in every overall category (scoring, passing, rebounding and defending). It's really not even close. You are significantly overrating Kobe by having him 2nd and you are significantly underrating LeBron by having him 6th. It's more like LeBron 1st or 2nd and Kobe 8th-12th. I would have Duncan outside of the top 5 as well even as a Spurs fan.
@canWego Backintime What percentage of players have gone to 9 straight Finals? LeBron is Basketball and has been the whole decade. The Warriors had a good five year run but even that doesn't compare to LeBron he's been taking any kind of team you can think of to the finals since 07.
canWego Backintime aren’t championships won by teams? MJ had scottie and later rodman. All I see here is Lebron, a shadow of love, some other dudes, and drunk jr. You putting a lot of emphasis on that 3-6 considering he lost 1 against the spurs when he was in cle, lost 2 against gsw+kd. And yeah I agree that he got beat *real* good by kawhi in 14 and gsw in 15 (even though they had injuries) I know these sound like excuses but cmon man, not everyone can carry a team to the playoffs Weak eastern conference or not, you need some help too to do the little things. Just saying ❤️
@canWego Backintime that's true, very true. Tbh that finals loss to the mavs was significant enough to actually make an impact on lebron's career. He went cold lmao. On another note, that was the heat trio's first year together. BUT still i have to agree with you. They were the better team, and they got their arses whooped that year. Though I wouldn't say lebron had a better team than mj. Everyone in mj's team complemented and adjusted in every way to become an effective team that beat every solid team. Lebron may have had dwade, but dwade regressed during that heat era coz of lebron and cb was "sorta" being left out of that trio. Just to clarify- I dont think lebron is the goat, MJ proved that with all his allocades and fucking bonus of hard earned 6 championship titles. All I wanted to point out was that Lebron didnt really have a solid team (except for the heat, 14'-17' cavs) all through out his career and hope that you'd understand that tho. 🙌
Absolutely bro, I'm like what else this man can ask for more than having some solid role players atleast. Stayed 11 years in a franchise to get 1 chip only. A whole decade of basketball and a sweat wasted!! Damn.
I am a Bulls and even I can tell that this playoff run by LeBron James was legendary In his 15th NBA season and at 33 years old averaging 34 and 9 assists. With a completely new team after the trade deadline Bow down to the King
Bruh wtf he’d be 13-0. Kobe and Lebron would run it back every year from 2003-2016 lmao. Because Kobe would be in his prime while Lebrons a rookie, Lebron in his prime while Kobe leaves his.
I’m a warriors fan and looking back at this lebron and the run he had and the games he had against us in the finals I didn’t even realize what I was seeing till years after and now looking back at it he was literally the best player I ever seen 😂😭😭 I use to hate lebron those day lol
34 pts/10 reb/7 assists on 55% shooting and 35% 3pt shooting and led his team in every statistical category. When has kobe ever done this? When has kobe beaten a superior team?
Jarel Jones who was on the cavs? And who was on the depleted rockets in 09 when kobe was choking? 7 players on the pacers averaged double digits... nobody on cavs outside of lebron scored 20 in this series.
Rapidos60 honestly people made a huge deal out of the celtics missing kyrie and hayward. They beat the sixers in 5 without them and hayward shouldnt even be considered part of the team since he didnt even play 5 min the whole season. Kyrie is amazing but the celtics system is much better defensively without him. The celtics had a great young core and terry rozier was putting up similar numbers to kyrie and jalen brown and al horford are very good players. Jayson tatum was the best rookie in the playoffs hands down. And the cavs played like trash. Cavs had two players averaging double digits in points and celtics had 5. Second leading scorer on cavs was kevin love who only averaged 12.5 ppg.
@@adityasrinidhi9598 ill take getting to the finals over losing in the first round because jordan needs help to do anything meaningful in his life any day. Just sayin kid, let the grown ups talk basketball.
LeBron has been clutch since day 1. The only reason people think LeBron isn't clutch is Skip Bayless. He literally called LeBron a choker AFTER HE HAD THE 48 SPECIAL IN DETROIT. The man literally gets paid to be wrong.
@Jiggy Thanos Lol lebron is not fraud cuz He can make it to the finals without star teammates Ur jordan cant lol 2012 game 6 against boston Clutchest player in nba history Scored most points in playoffs Has higher basketball iq than jordan Better all around Can play all 5 positions Almost all the time he played against dynasties in the finals K man he played with 16 allstars How many of them were useful? Gtfo
Game 1: Stephenson flops Game 2: Stephenson flops Game 3: Stephenson flops Game 4: Stephenson flops Game 5: Stephenson flops Game 6: Stephenson flops Game 7: Stephenson flops
Bron is pippen, jordan, Stockton majic, zeke, worthy, bird, DrJ, David thompson,gervin, all in one player, my goodness, Wow, like Jesus on the bball, court, he does everything great
I’m watchin him now vs the grizzlies and he does not look like this anymore, which is normal cause of his age. But damn, lakers gonna need him to play like this to win it now
Lol. That was called "setting a tone". LeBron knew his game 1 performance, and mindset (letting the game come to him), wasn't enough. So he came out gunning in game 2, to ease some of the pressure off his teammates.
This version of Lebron is hands down the best NBA Player I ever witnessed on television…. This guy was making threes and dominating the paint and defending everyone on a lock down level…. The fadeaways from every possible angle, off the wrong foot. While on the run… and this team was put together at the all star break…. I watched joker win mvp last year and they said cause he kept his team afloat (6th seed) without his best teammates being injured… well in 2018 Lebron lost Kyrie and the player they got ended up being a bust so they got nothing and Lebron got them to the 4th seed?… idk man… it usually takes teams years to look this good…. But when Lebron is the captain, literally anything is possible and if that’s not a goat, idk what is
went game 7 against oladipo pacers??? you mean this weak pacers??? come on man..this east was weak...and first of all lebron didnt surpass mj in any season he played with...
@@joshuak8982 mj played in strong east...he played against shaq and penny hardaway magic..he played against ewing houston sprewell and larry johnson knicks and he also played against tim hardaway mashburn majerle and mourning heat, he played against miller mullins and smits pacers.. while lebron played against oladipo pacers or lowry raptors?? and went against game 7 against them?? come on man ..
@@joshuak8982 you forgot love has better ppg than pippen..you forgot that love was an allstar and love was a rebounding monster..then why they cant even won a single game against gsw??? even once!!! harden went to game 7 against gsw abd almost beat them even he had no allstar teammates
@@joshuak8982 dont tell me harden wasnt way better than lebron when harden almost beat the gsw team while lebron was getting swept and cant even won a single game
So grateful House of Highlights that you put this LeBron "God Mode" 1st round highlights video, in chronological order. To show to the people that didn't witness this god tier performance, on how impactful LeBron was.. on a possession by possession basis. If LeBron wasn't perfect on any defensive read, and then didn't execute off of that read. Cleveland lost that possession, and inevitably, would lose that game. Everything came together so seamlessly for LeBron during this run. Now his will, finally matched his improved skill, and supreme athleticism. Now he knew how to set a tone, and impose his will on opposing teams. Even if they were, the better team (which I believe Indiana, Toronto, and Boston were). I've never seen one man dominate a team(s)like LeBron did during this playoff run. It felt as though he had control of all the nine other players on the court, when he had possession of the ball. So glad I was able to witness greatness, at a level I'd never seen before. And probably will never see again.
Hope people don't compare prime lebron to year 18, 19, and 20 lebron. Prime lebron is special and yet a lot of expectations to the goat, haters want him to be perfect every single night and yet no matter the outcomes positive or negative they will say something bad about him.
Because being a god u have to look over everyone and it’s boring as hell even though you have all the power it’s boring because you do. Being a king is obviously better
He was killing them with everything. Behind the back, spin moves, pump fakes, quick deceleration/accelerations... and obviously his usual great passing. Fantastic!

Bruh wtf he’d be 13-0. Kobe and Lebron would run it back every year from 2003-2016 lmao. Because Kobe would be in his prime while Lebrons a rookie, Lebron in his prime while Kobe leaves his.
@@legoatjagoat4691 that will be the craziest duo ever
Not 5 but 15. Kobe lebron duo is a better than jordan and pipen
I’m a warriors fan and looking back at this lebron and the run he had and the games he had against us in the finals I didn’t even realize what I was seeing till years after and now looking back at it he was literally the best player I ever seen 😂😭😭 I use to hate lebron those day lol
This team is so trash. When lebron leaves its over
welp he left...
Kevin Love can return to his Minnestota days
Bizarre Guitar and they are trash
Gerald Dunbar looks like you owe me some money
Gerald Dunbar cavs was already 1-8 when ty lue got fired and k love went to surgery though? Did you already forget that..
34 pts/10 reb/7 assists on 55% shooting and 35% 3pt shooting and led his team in every statistical category. When has kobe ever done this? When has kobe beaten a superior team?
Skip 2 My Lou who's on the pacers again?
Jarel Jones who was on the cavs? And who was on the depleted rockets in 09 when kobe was choking? 7 players on the pacers averaged double digits... nobody on cavs outside of lebron scored 20 in this series.
Skip 2 My Lou damn u shut him up 👏
How bout that celtics team
Rapidos60 honestly people made a huge deal out of the celtics missing kyrie and hayward. They beat the sixers in 5 without them and hayward shouldnt even be considered part of the team since he didnt even play 5 min the whole season. Kyrie is amazing but the celtics system is much better defensively without him. The celtics had a great young core and terry rozier was putting up similar numbers to kyrie and jalen brown and al horford are very good players. Jayson tatum was the best rookie in the playoffs hands down. And the cavs played like trash. Cavs had two players averaging double digits in points and celtics had 5. Second leading scorer on cavs was kevin love who only averaged 12.5 ppg.
Best player in the history of ball. 2018 Playoff LeBron.
🖤
Regular season i can see it being a toss up between mj and lebron, but playoffs.. give me lebron every time
Playoffs Lebron > Regular season Lebron
LeBron never lost in no first round
no he's not even gonna get to a first round :(
Marcus Gregory only Jordan loses in the first round
@@jaredjack8987 u make no sense whatsoever.
He's demolished opponents in the first round its crazy. 52-10 overall record. It was 48-7 before this series... crazy.
@@adityasrinidhi9598 ill take getting to the finals over losing in the first round because jordan needs help to do anything meaningful in his life any day. Just sayin kid, let the grown ups talk basketball.
Lbj the best player in the world if you think it's kd you is high as jr
And they said James isnt clutch. Watch game 5 again in this series.
LeBron has been clutch since day 1. The only reason people think LeBron isn't clutch is Skip Bayless. He literally called LeBron a choker AFTER HE HAD THE 48 SPECIAL IN DETROIT. The man literally gets paid to be wrong.
good series but Bron is not human
The mighty King James!!!! 👑
Who says he's not clutch? He really showed it right in this series
I forgot about the block and go ahead 3 in game 5!! This man is leaving us with so much awesome footage to watch when it's all said and done!
LeBron playing on rookie mode, everybody else: hall of fame with no badges.
Man... if LeBron got the calls he deserved when he drove in the paint... GG he would probably be #1 right now in all time points
What's crazy is how great Lebron looked in that Game 1, and then just totally takes it up a level in the next game
Lol. Cause he knew that wasn't enough (they lost that game).
GOAT
greatest cheater of all time
kain holmes um hello?
@@kainholmes7275 MJ is a cheat, his legendary shot was a offensive foul
@Jiggy Thanos Prove that he is fraud lol
Bet u cant
@Jiggy Thanos Lol lebron is not fraud cuz
He can make it to the finals without star teammates
Ur jordan cant lol
2012 game 6 against boston
Clutchest player in nba history
Scored most points in playoffs
Has higher basketball iq than jordan
Better all around
Can play all 5 positions
Almost all the time he played against dynasties in the finals
K man he played with 16 allstars
How many of them were useful?
Gtfo
Game 1: Stephenson flops
Game 2: Stephenson flops
Game 3: Stephenson flops
Game 4: Stephenson flops
Game 5: Stephenson flops
Game 6: Stephenson flops
Game 7: Stephenson flops
Bron is pippen, jordan, Stockton majic, zeke, worthy, bird, DrJ, David thompson,gervin, all in one player, my goodness, Wow, like Jesus on the bball, court, he does everything great
The spin move maestro!
anyone in 2019?.... its fun to see lance guarding lebron
It was literally him against the other team. He’s a team.
If y’all know anybody that says Bron isn’t clutch show them this and start at 13:15
@canWego Backintime Get a life looser
@canWego Backintime *Imagine that a JORDANSEXUAL who is better at defense than his dumb hero*
@canWego Backintime Dont copy comments
And i didnt say shit about DPOY
Stfu
“God Mode” 🤣🤣🤣 he really was in God Mode tho
@Jiggy Thanos Bullshit lol
Watch the vid and say something you trashbag
This is the best playoff run I history I dont see how u can hate on this
2017-18 was such a great year overall
Also 2016-17 was great too
8:34 first step
9:24 first step
11:37 first step
14:34 secondary step
14:43 first step
15:23 two foot jump
16:07 secondary step
17:08 first step
I took him for granted..I should've appreciated him more in Cleveland...it's so dead downtown without him
That's another aspect of LeBron greatness.
I’m watchin him now vs the grizzlies and he does not look like this anymore, which is normal cause of his age. But damn, lakers gonna need him to play like this to win it now
How many years we've seen another player like this if lebron james retired in the nba. We surely miss lebron james. 😔
Yess will miss the king if he retired whole nba world will
This was just mind blowing to rewatch!
2:50 mid-range pull-up. Take that Broussard
2018 Cavs' playoff run is more memorable than any other play off run in recent memory
The most complete version of Lebron. Everything from the way he dribbles, shoots, pass is just precise.
The greatest individual playoff run in history 👏
13:25 watching this again and again, each time focusing on the reaction of another fan in the stands
2018 Lebron is the Greatest version of any basketball player. Ever.
Bruh if Adam sliver never let golden state get KD til this day doesn’t make sense on a competitive standpoint we’d recognize this all time playoff run
I remember half way through this season I said there's no way LeBron gets to the finals
Well, I remember people discussing their chances to even make the playoffs, and that the team was not adequately built.
15'-18' Bron is the best ball player i've ever seen
LeBron is that Rare Athlete who takes his Game to the Highest Level by keeping his body in Tip Top shape n studying the game of basketball
He was owning the pacer 16-1 shooting like 6-6 until he passed that’s insane
Lol. That was called "setting a tone". LeBron knew his game 1 performance, and mindset (letting the game come to him), wasn't enough. So he came out gunning in game 2, to ease some of the pressure off his teammates.
High IQ of basketball world the king
This version of Lebron is hands down the best NBA Player I ever witnessed on television…. This guy was making threes and dominating the paint and defending everyone on a lock down level…. The fadeaways from every possible angle, off the wrong foot. While on the run… and this team was put together at the all star break…. I watched joker win mvp last year and they said cause he kept his team afloat (6th seed) without his best teammates being injured… well in 2018 Lebron lost Kyrie and the player they got ended up being a bust so they got nothing and Lebron got them to the 4th seed?… idk man… it usually takes teams years to look this good…. But when Lebron is the captain, literally anything is possible and if that’s not a goat, idk what is
Funny how everyone said same thing bout Jordan ooo the refs ooo the refs lol
Put AD on this roster and they win the championship. This version of Lebron with AD would be a nightmare. Warriors wouldnt wanna see that
Came back here bc skip said dude was giving bron problems 🤦🏾♂️# 44
hes a basketball genius second to none.
This is the greatest lebron I had ever witnessed
5:25 Coach was so mad he even showed an example on how Lance fell
he was supremely different that year
Lebron James is amazing. He has everything. Very strong and quick.
Tell me a player carried, without telling me a player carried.
Lebron literally carried a bad team to the final that year! So impressive.
That game 2 start was just incredible. 16-1 lebron run 13-0 to start
1st round and 3rd round of the 2018 playoff was Lebron James competitive series he plays
This was the playoff run that made put Bron ahead of the goat convo even more
went game 7 against oladipo pacers??? you mean this weak pacers??? come on man..this east was weak...and first of all lebron didnt surpass mj in any season he played with...
@@rjcabrera9024 “East was week” tell me one szn Mj led an entire team where the second player was jr Smith caliber
@@joshuak8982 mj played in strong east...he played against shaq and penny hardaway magic..he played against ewing houston sprewell and larry johnson knicks and he also played against tim hardaway mashburn majerle and mourning heat, he played against miller mullins and smits pacers.. while lebron played against oladipo pacers or lowry raptors?? and went against game 7 against them?? come on man ..
@@joshuak8982 you forgot love has better ppg than pippen..you forgot that love was an allstar and love was a rebounding monster..then why they cant even won a single game against gsw??? even once!!! harden went to game 7 against gsw abd almost beat them even he had no allstar teammates
@@joshuak8982 dont tell me harden wasnt way better than lebron when harden almost beat the gsw team while lebron was getting swept and cant even won a single game
15th season, 8 straight NBA finals, 8 plus 40 point games in this last post season, Nigga a menace. Top 3 player ever #TheKing
2018 Playoff Bron is the best player in the history of that game
FACT! He was absolutely unstoppable.
Bron prime UNSTOPPABLE 🔥🔥🔥
Still watching 💪💪💪 August 14, 2022
Goat. no question about it.
So grateful House of Highlights that you put this LeBron "God Mode" 1st round highlights video, in chronological order. To show to the people that didn't witness this god tier performance, on how impactful LeBron was.. on a possession by possession basis. If LeBron wasn't perfect on any defensive read, and then didn't execute off of that read. Cleveland lost that possession, and inevitably, would lose that game. Everything came together so seamlessly for LeBron during this run. Now his will, finally matched his improved skill, and supreme athleticism. Now he knew how to set a tone, and impose his will on opposing teams. Even if they were, the better team (which I believe Indiana, Toronto, and Boston were). I've never seen one man dominate a team(s)like LeBron did during this playoff run. It felt as though he had control of all the nine other players on the court, when he had possession of the ball. So glad I was able to witness greatness, at a level I'd never seen before. And probably will never see again.
Dude. He single handedly won this 7 game series and the next two to take the worst TEAM ever to the finals. This goated him for me
07 is pretty close that wasn't a good team either
Is it just me, or did any else hear LeBron call "GLASS", @ 10:30, look at LeBron so inspirational man ;)
4:37, how old is Lebron
33 in the last cavs uniform
This playoff run was wild glad I got to watch it live 2018 LeBron really was special still a bummer what happened in game 1 of the finals that year
Who else forgot lebron scored the cavs first 16 POINTS in game 2?
YOOOOO!! WHAT THE FUCK. SO FIREEE!!
@SunamiKilla easilyyyyyyyyy
Makes it look so effortless.
I don't care what nobody say LeBron was the king at carrying when the trashes team
That pacers was crazy that season
I miss LeBron James Play as a Cavs .
HEALTHY, LIVIN AND LOOKING AFTER, HIM SELF THATS WHY HE IS STILL VERY GOOD AT HIS AGE,PLUS WORKING OUT HELP ASWELL,
LeBron should have the 2018 mvp
Hope people don't compare prime lebron to year 18, 19, and 20 lebron. Prime lebron is special and yet a lot of expectations to the goat, haters want him to be perfect every single night and yet no matter the outcomes positive or negative they will say something bad about him.
This team had no business being in the playoffs and yet ppl rip him for getting swept in the Finals
I know we say Miami LeBron was his best version but mannn this LeBron shot is so pure... Damn it’s scary
5:25 lance and coach both fall😂
😂😂😂 we lost them😂😅😅i cant stop laughing, ohh James you fool them
Can't believe people compare Kawhi and KD to this guy. No comparison at all! James was/is on a completely different level.
lebron is a stat chaser. they arent, dumbass casual
Why be a King when you can be a God?
Because being a god u have to look over everyone and it’s boring as hell even though you have all the power it’s boring because you do. Being a king is obviously better
Dang I loved watching this cavs team
If he was with the Lakers when started his career would have 7-8 championships now. Too big, too fast, agile and smart.
Every assist/passing in the video is amazing.
