Huh... so LeBron has been treating Tyron Lue this way since he was a rookie.... makes a lot of sense
I know I’m 2 years late, but this is hilarious 😂
@@Azhtecc 🤣😂🤣 it really is
@@Azhtecc ong😂😂
Bruh u ever see the meme with Lue standing at a game and Lebron walkin up. Caption says,
“ hey coach”
“Hey Tyronn” 😂😂😂
Still funny hahaha.
Damn man. Didn’t get into basketball until I was around 7-8 years old watching that 66 win cavs team but watching Lebron as I grow up and now seeing him break rhe all time scoring record is crazy to see. It’s going to suck when he’s no longer playing
Ya even with all the current stars there’ll be a void left
Believe it or not he is an extension of the 90's mind set. He is the last to come from that Tutelage. Once he's done that era will be gone forever. The preparation, the sacrifice, attention to detail, the IQ. He embodies Malone, Jordan, Kobe, Vince, that's who he came up watching. After him, 🤷🏾♂️
Looked like a pro player, LeBron is 18 years old that time, pretty amazing 🔥
Still looks much the same after all these years!
Realtalk aside from his greatness on court, he is one of the best entertaining to watch in NBA, we will all miss this guy once he retired, Mama there goes that man.. Damn..
Pains me to watch these highlights, people ask if there’s one thing you could have in life what would it be, for me it’d be witnessing 18 year old lebron all over again
Run on sentence
gets unnecessarily hated on as well
@@dbs2428 greatness always get hated on
@@moonvenerable7897 they’ll miss him once he goes man
2:15 my jaw actually dropped
He really blocked his head coach like that 😂😂 that’s how he won arguments with him
‘Bron you can’t call substitutions for yourself-‘
‘Shut up I blocked yo ass when I was rookie you can’t talk’
Lebron blocked Tyron Lue layup😂😂😂
Tony Lewis still dont understand why tyronn lue got the job we all know lebron is the coach
No player has ever had the hype and lived up to the hype like the GOAT
Larry bird and magic were very popular in high school and so wasn’t Kareem. They all were megastars box office after college. Out of high school lebron definitely had the biggest buzz but coming into the league considering limited media I honestly don’t think he was the biggest. Wilt was dumb famous for being so freaking big and athletic. He had a great college career, played pro in high school, I think won gold in the Olympics and was on the Harlem globe trotters before getting into the nba. He definitely was super famous.
In the modern era it was definitely lebron and Allen iverson who was in nation headlines since high school and getting through the racist bs trail.
HE IS THE GOAT
@@frogthug5927 Very debatable. I think MJ definitely deserves the GOAT award, but I respect your opinion because i'm a big Lebron fan, and he's closer to MJ then anyone has ever been before, which is saying a lot, because anyone coming anywhere near MJ is a downright miracle, that's how good MJ was. Lebron is also still playing trying to get over on MJ, and he's playing amazingly well still. It will be tough though.
Greatest athlete to ever played in the NBA. The man can play all 5 positions equally very very well
I’d say wilt
@@drstone2358lmao man wilt ain’t playing pg 😂
@@DemonLosoI mean he was a leading assist leader at one point
@@xwiay3067 yeah against plumbers in a league where there were only 2 other players 7 ft lol idk man they have their own place in history I just think that time period hella overrated.
Very incorrect. LBJ sucks with his handles and he doesn't even have anywhere near as good a post game as good as Jordan. Wilt really could play any position since he lead the league in assists, rebounds, points, blocks multiple times during his career. And he could run fast and jump high with a very good fadeaway jumpshot.
You had to be alive at that time to understand the amount of hype this 18 year old kid had coming into the league and from day 1 he not only lived up to the hype but he surpassed it. GOAT.
I'll forever be LBJ's fan!!!...
God like from day 1
instagram.com/animationinsiderofficial/?hl=en
Wow the form on his jump shot, it's changed so much. Crazy how time has flown by
Lebron is a mix of Magic and Barkley. He is just awesome to watch play.
Do you not see the teammates that Lebron had on his team
Like where are they now
The only reason the Cavs aren’t a lottery team is because of Lebron
Lebron had to get a better team
After getting swept in the finals
He was going up against a hall of fame coach
And three hall of famers all in their prime
With Bruce bOwen one of the best if not the best lock down defenders
How can you be mad at lebron at forming a good team
Did y’all not see what he was up against?
Dallas 2011 had only one all-star, so...
Lenny Mitchell how crazy is that he is still a MVP contender in 2019-2020 season?
@@ansarmaskenov5284 that's LeBron at worst. He messed his shit up
@@ansarmaskenov5284 Also beat the Defending Champs that year
Dirk the goat then.
The greatest of all time and it's not even close!
#LeGOAT!
👑🐐🏀
Fuck What You're Talking About ! Lmao he didn't even make it to the playoffs That year HA
Naseem Saleh Jordan got swept in the first round multiple times LeBron never had that happen to him which is why he's the GOAT
stay off the drugs
LeBron is not goat lebronsexuals
I always impress the way he pass! Man that assist was so sick !
The NBAs all-time leading scorer
This dude is the Goat. How can’t people see this . Look what he is doing
That block to Tyron Lue near the end was insane. But He made it up to him by winning him a championship as the Cavs coach 13 years later lol
Crazy to think that younger players today like Ja Morant, Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid were only like 4-10 years old when LeBron entered the league and 20 years later LeBron is still playing at a high level and these players that were still little kids are now in the league playing with and against him. Such greatness and longevity.
I was in 6th grade. I remember watching the McDonald's hs all-star game just to see Lebron. I'm turning 32 next month
Why Ja Morant 🤣
Lebron with the baggy Cavs jersey was something else.
The most insane thing about him was how his body was already pro ready in terms of statue and muscle. Just a freak of nature. Usually rookies need to adapt their bodys 1-2 seasons after COLLEGE. And Lebron just came from highschool and his body was already pro ready. And his Game IQ already at this young age. Those 2 things are usually earned within years in the lague and he just had it mindblowing
Yeah, freak of nature and amazing regardless of his age, doing it both as the youngest and the oldest in ways people never thought possible. Never like anyone else, and still doing it right now. Built different is an understatement, but it's also true.
Just like his son bronny
2:43 is so awesome to me…the fact that they would win a ring together in the best nba finals in history is so crazy….-Lue
Ima miss u goat
Can’t believe people still say he’s not in the conversation as the best to ever do it!
Na worse case he is top 3 i would say even top 2 all time. MJ has the case because of his rings and his records in the finals. etc. but LBJ is #1 for me in my time watching the NBA and #2 all time for me. People that deny that are delusional and simply haters.
Hes top 2 and not 2@@xDawhite
I do think MJ is the GOAT, but I am a fan of Lebron, and he's closer to MJ than anyone has ever been before, and he's still playing and playing well. Anyone who doesn't at least have in the top 3 is someone I just don't get.
@@xDawhite Totally agree. Lebron is unbelievable, and in my opinion closer to MJ than anyone has ever been before, and he's still playing trying to get there. Just getting near MJ is a major accomplishment, that's how amazing MJ was. Some people are haters, and they aren't realistic on anything. They hate one player and love another. I like both MJ and Lebron and hate no player. If you have Lebron out of the top 5 all time then I just can't even talk to you about basketball.
I never got tired watching him and i can’t catch up on his got a lot years in those calfs 👑
I’m a MJ guy through and through, but Lebron could definitely play in ANY era. He’s a fucking freight train. The people who say he couldn’t play in the 80s and 90s are 🤡
2:41 foreshadowing how he'll block every strategy that Tyronn Lue will think of
Zik Remorca 😂😂😂 lebron is they coach tyronn lue just a stand in
Zik Remorca lmao what strategy?
The goat. He the top scorer now.
2:45 James block his coach
I never ever thought I'd see a player better than MJ and then the young phenomenon Lebron entered the league i dont even know how you can be that good as a teenager some people are just touched by God he's one of them
an 18 year old kid playing like this in the early 2000s NBA and you're gonna tell me he wouldn't survive in the 90s ? lmao
They said he would suffer with hand checking when bro literally averaged 20 a game AS A ROOKIE before the hand check was abolished
@@TeenWrld own that jorfraud fans

@@ChristianNeoOritoYTCHANNEL you know it(;
Him swatting Lue to the next area code was great 😂 sorry coach
Boozer would have won multiple titles if he stayed in Cleveland. In retrospect, he would have been a perfect compliment to Lebron during his first run in Cleveland.
💯% I always thought that
This is one of the greatest American dream stories ever lived.
He had the commentators speechless why??? Cause he was only 18 years old and getting at these D1 top prospects, and old heads who was already in the league. He a goat in a lot of people eyes to!!💪💪💪💪💪💪
LeBron James is one of my favorite players in the NBA!! ❤️ 😍 🤩
Cleveland ruined LeBron's early years when he was at his best smh
he was not "at his best" in Cleveland
@@Panther016 Well he was at his best in Cleveland the second go around
@@Panther016 i think he meant when lebron was still freakishly athletic
@@ko8e242 nah it was at Miami
@@edugomez3c lebron was freakishly athletic when he was young. In Miami he was still freakishly athletic but more careful with his body. Still a wasted talent in his cavs years. He had literally no help. 2nd best player is Big Z who's not even a top 100 player. Lol!
Rookie lebron was crazy
Still good after all these years.
08-09-18.
Still amazing. 8/1/2020
Amazing with the FMVP in 2020! Ol Goat James we out!!
Reporting in on december 29th, 2021: scored 32, 39, 36, 34, 31 in his last 5 games.
Gonna win a scoring title (hopefully), (almost Feb. 2021)
Here after he broke the record what a career for lebron!!!!
3. bird magic
2. Kareeem Bill russel
1. LBJ MJ
Fax
only thing id change is just having kareem at two and sliding bill russel to 3 but good take
He blocked Tyronn Lue shot…. Then Lue coaches him to a championship years later
I never forget this guy KING JAMES I will miss him. To many people injoying lebron james ERA💖
I can't imagine being his teammate and finding out your manager drafted an 18 year old with the #1 pick. The kid can't even drink 😂
Still the King at year 15!!!!!
year 19 too
year 20 too
Yesterday too
It’s hard to be an nba player and not to hate this guy.. all your life you was him than you’re in the nba and you’re all of a sudden one of many and on top this kid comes along and shows off like nothing else before.. I would try everything to beat him down.
Beast mode ACTIVATE
LeBron dominating straight outta high school
Can you imagine if he went to college? People want to compare Zion to Lebron.... both at 18, no comparison, Lebron is miles ahead.
20 years later and he’s still doing everything seen here.
insane !! as i compared to present
20 year old LeBron clearly is better than 20 year old Luka. Defense was real tough in 2004.
Sure it was
20 year old Luka was more polished but not nearly as explosive.
LeBron seriously ain't lost a step since coming into the league 15 years ago. Man...
RyanJS08 it’s bound to happen eventually, ‘cause he is basically 34 years old.
@@FlyingV555 36 now and still haven’t lost it
37 getting better each year
At that age his decision making is freaking crazy!!! Assisting on no look passed to Vets… just crazy
"Welcome to the NBA."
Lebron: "I dont plan on leaving."
Imagine anyone telling Lebron at that time that he will join the Heat with Dwyane Wade and win 2 rings, return to the Cavs and help them win a ring coming back from a 3-1 deficit, joining the Lakers and giving them their 17th championship during a pandemic, and passing Kareem in the all-time scoring list! That would be soooooo insane.
Will forever be greater than the snake..
Filipino bandwagons, don't @ me.
Jimmy6700 Huh? What do Filipinos got to do with this.
Millian Macalintal they from the bay so they can support GSW. I’m from Sac. Smh
Millian Macalintal or maybe they just fans of good basketball and wanted to see Bron Wade and Bosh
Jimmy6700 so is don’t @me like thing now that’s will last a month or so
Bat nadamay ang Filipino jan ha
His shooting form was so much smoother in his early years.
The more muscle you pack on the harder it gets. That’s why KD can shoot so well. If he bulked to Giannis size he wouldn’t be able to shoot like that anymore. Look at young Giannis, aside from changes to his form, he was a much better shooter before the body change.
@@cassiusjoseph6655 so true.His play as rookie was perfect,i love to watch!Later he get weight also something change his mind i don't know.He was soooo amazing at start but he kinda stop evolving that much. I'm MJ fun but i really thing LBJ could be better but he didn't try as much he should,too many muscles!Just my opinion
@@cassiusjoseph6655 That's an old wives tale. Lebron was his heaviest in Miami and those some of his best shooting years.
The fact that LeBron has proved to be a way better shooter the older he got debunks what y'all fools be talkin about.
El mejor 😍
King James is a beast! All the hype was on point! 🤯🤐
I dont really care for Lebron but I still respect and admire his game. Scary to think that nearly 20 years later he might still be improving. Crazy longevity.
This dude was 18, actually ridiculous.
And just think that a year before this he was still a high school senior
We will never see an athlete like LeBron ever again.
Maybe a century or millenium from now, in other words maybe we will never see as great as lebron when he was still in NBA
There will be another transcendent talent that comes along and ppl will say the same thing
@@ceevideos4298 Oh for sure, it just won't be one like LeBron. The same can be said for Jordan and Chamberlain, guys like that are one of a kind.
@@DrProfessorWeed yeah but they make it seem like lebron is more special than everyone else. He’s not. He’s great just like every other player but not above everyone else
@@ceevideos4298 I mean LeBron is very unique, we've never seen a guy with his kind of ability before. I think he's in that one of a kind type tier.
So uh some dude trynna tell me Ben Simmons is a better rookie than LeBron was ? Lmaoo
KaHLiL 2Classy both are ass tbh
Naseem Saleh u dumb
Naseem Saleh stfu they’re both better then you so you can’t say there trash
MJ better rookie 👍
@@MrWinstonWong with more faster pace and worst defending than early 2000's era 😹😹😹
This is goat music playing in the background
The GREATEST 🐐
2000s Lebron was a whole other person he was a beast
another thing you gotta realize he came straight for highschool and put up 20+ points doing so. insanity
Greatest basketball player of all time 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐💯✌🏾
Jordan is better
That really is one man beat a team
“Flight number 23” nice call
I wish he came in the 80s 90s, He would've been Epic. I know alot of people say this and that about him. But he would've been amazing (probably wouldn't have the longevity he has now) but it would've been something to see. The absolute wars with all the big men ...damn
When the points started rising
Good old NBA days
nessa época ninguém sabia do que estava por vir...
Reason why Lebron is todays strongest player ....
He played with some rough ass old niggas as a rookie
💯% and people act like Lebron is soft when he first came into the NBA straight out of High School he was going against growing men when the NBA was still physical and he was dominating straight straight away 18 years later still growing strong 💪🏾
Cleveland sucks during that time. They ruined LBJ's young career. Cant blame him after leaving
Now I’m coming here because today in summer league Paolo Banchero did a 360 fast break dunk and I was think to myself how crazy lebron was at that age and now I’m here. We really witnessed greatness. I wonder who’s really next. MJ--Lebron--????
19 year old LBJ dominating grown men. Unbelievable!!! I was in Highschool when he got drafted and I couldn’t believe his age and level of talent. I am glad I was able to witness his entire career from the start. 👑👑👑
it must be exiting to be witnessed bron rookie year
That block on Tyronn Lue is the reason why he made sure LeGoat James ain’t have no help 😂😂😂
this is my HEROOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, people forget how explosive james was
I haven’t forgotten and yes he was explosive 🧨 as fucc ✌🏾
He still is
Who tf is zion. Why do I see some idiots comparing him to the king?
James! 🎉😮
THIS KID HAS POTENTIAL
what's the title of background music?
He was better as agurd than a bodybuilder he is today
2022!
This rookie year from a dude who went from high school to the nba.
The crazy thing is his first year his teammates were hating on him.
No rookie has ever beed that good, much less a teenager.
This Cavs team had a better record than the 2022 Lakers 😅
Idol
Bron James blocked his coach
