- The infamous "Quit" game, which I frankly don't get. He didn't play a good game, but it sure as hell wasn't due to lack of effort.
Boxscore: www.basketball-reference.com/b... - Спорт
The Delonte West game.
4 field goal attempts in one half. He gave up, stop defending him please.
8 years later, we're seeing the same thing
😐
Against suns as well...dam
Huh lmao 😂
4 shots a entire half is QUITTING. He is a freight train, if he doesnt hit jumpers then run to the basket. This when he knew he was leavin. Washed Shaq, Jameson is your third option after Mo Williams?? Yeah he quit
Delonte West
Oh the excuses
excuses excuses excuses. Shaq Jameson and Williams were better than any teammates Kobe ever had after Shaq left
@@37hiddensecrets pau, artest? bro shut up lol
I'll admit I though he quit in this one. He had an awful game, but taking only 14 shots is unacceptable. Then he did the same thing in Game 4 against the Mavs the following year. 8 points with only 11 shots. A team's best player cannot ever be that passive, and I think he realized that after he lost in 2011. He was a lot more aggressive after losing this series and the Mavs series.
He really manned up in 2012 and gained a better confidence in his game. His entire game (as well as being in his prime) improved in those 2012-2013 seasons.
gorrow1990 Yup except for the 2014 finals where he once again was completely passive to the point it drove me crazy
what finals was you watching passive? LeBron did what he had to do the spurs just beat the hell out the heat with team basket ball... wade was still playing hurt, but injuries or not LeBron wasn't passive and spurs took that championship
sylvester jackson “ As the primary defender on James, Leonard held him to 34% shooting from the field and 20% on contested shots. He reduced James’ catches, drives and shot attempts. Miami never got traction in the series and lost in five games.”
Leonard was 22 during the 2014 Finals, ..
Greatness can only be forged in the playoffs. The criteria for best player in the world are simple: He must be able to score when it matters most, stop other great players from scoring and elevate his team to rare postseason heights.

sylvester jackson “James is shooting 38.9% in the Final and has scored fewer than 20 points in three consecutive games for the first time since the Heat's 2011 Finals loss to the Dallas Mavericks. said James, who is averaging 16.7 points a game in the Finals.
After Leonard played a huge part in James' 7-for-21 shooting night in the Spurs' Game 3 win Tuesday, made four steals and grabbed 12 rebounds..
It's his only focus now as a 21-year-old,
Not that Leonard paid attention to the praise”
Kawhi Leonard makes no noise silencing LeBron James

I never got the hype about this game either. He played terribly in the biggest game of the season, but there wasn't a lack of effort. People also like to conveniently forget that the very next game he posted a triple double with 27 pts, 19 boards, and 10 assists. Truly a quitting effort in that game as well
forman208 I know this was a year ago but come on. he didn't quit but still played awful which is strange, oh and the next game he also had 9 turnovers, which is unheard of for one player, let alone the "best player on the planet"
haha he's had so many "just a bad game" it gets annoying after a while. 2007 and 2011 finals were just bad series too?
HAHAHAHAHA based off of what, stats? like what are you, 15 years old?
watch the games...he threw 8 turnovers and in the 4th he quit
Alishah Pearine exactly
Someone explain to me how a bad game is the same thing as quitting. Lebron got his teammates involved and drew alot of fouls. He couldnt hit a jumper to save his life but it wasnt like he was doing it on purpose...
Lebron James was 0-4 fg in the first half. FOUR FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS in an entire half. Don't tell em he "gave effort."
you can see it in his play he was hurt at this moment he already decided to leave Cleveland, I don't think he knew where exactly he was going like Miami but he was done with this team at that point in time, he had found out delonte west had slept with his mom and most of the people in the cavs organization was aware except LeBron, once he found out he quit , games 5&6 was proof of that, earlier in the series he played with a lot more effort and a man on a mission, a lot of the bad plays made here are clearly mental fatigue, how would you feel if you found out your friend fucked ya mom, would you be able to go out and concentrate on a basketball game playing with the same mf that did it no, it really sucks and idk how he forgave his mother because I don't think I would've been able to so kudos to the king
I'm a huge fan of LeBron James, but let's be real here: being upset over your friend sleeping with your mom is one of the most ridiculous, irrational things to be upset over. Not to mention it's just fucking creepy and possessive.
She is her own person with her own free will and her own body. She is a grown ass woman who makes her own decisions and decides who the fuck she wants to fuck. Why the fuck would you try to control her body and who she has sex with, especially when you're her son? That's an Oedipus complex out the ass.
Also, what makes it even more nonsensical is that that person is your FRIEND, whom you trust and know well. It makes much more sense to me that you would rather have someone close to you that you trust and know well like a friend sleeping with your mom than some asshole stranger that you don't know because you at least know that he's a good person and will treat her well.
This concept always made absolutely no sense to me.
yep from 2003-2009 he gave that franchise everything he had...the team just wasnt good enough....in 2009 he played so hard and the team quit on him or choked but orlando just hit a lot of 3's and no answers for dwight...in 2008 bostons big 3 was unfair...thats why when he left they shouldnt have been so mean....the dont deserve him back ...in 2010 he didnt feel like winning with these backstabbers...it was too much to carry....also no help...gilbert not trading jj hickson for amare that year i think was the last straw......he needed a friend in d wade who he wanted to win with...and man how unfair...mj and kobe have created their own drama but lebron didnt and he got bashed ...its so unfair
no if delonte fucked my moms and no one told me even though they knew and i found out on my own i would be pissed too...lebron didnt want to play with him anymore...
razkable Okay, I agree with everything else you said, but why the fuck would you be pissed if your friend slept with your mom?
cause hes a teammate..its weird...he could be your new daddy even though your older than him lol...lebron didnt want a teammate sleeping with his moms...thats odd...also the age difference is strange and lebron wanted to go to miami anyways so...
LeChoke. He’s complaining about his right elbow but that has nothing to do with mentality
Y’all keep saying he only took 4 shots but do y’all even see how they defending him? There is literally no other shot creator on this cavs team tf y’all expect him to do ? 😭 plus do y’all even see the passing ?
Oh shutup
theres more to a game then just shooting..
Kobe didn't shoot once in a playoff elimination game
Against the suns yeah he quit too 😂 pouting like a baby
Fourth Quarter Fade Away! Game 5 and 6 this series he went into shell and they were blown off the court, he made a lame excuse but most didn't buy it.
More lebron vids!!
why don't people talk about kobe when they lost a 3-1 series lead. he shot only 2 field goals in the second half of game 7.
Definitely a quitting game. I don't care how many shots he missed, but he had no willingness to win that game.
What're ya gonna do against a big three that borders on a superteam, when the next best player on your team is a guy with a BPM of 1.8?
And half the roster has a negative BPM
@@Meyr3356 Stop looking at other things and saying oh his roster sucked which it did watch the Damn game and u would know he quit
@@Meyr3356 The Celtics were old as dirt.
Wasn't his elbow bothering him??
That was his excuse.
the reason its a quit game for lbj is because this was a game they needed to win and was waaaay to passive u got to be agressive and come through in big moments
Y’all be on his nuts he had a bad ass game but it’s a team sport his team was soft no one stepped up
Kevin Brown he always has the ball they just catch and shoot it’s hard to get a rhythm if your not involved in every ply moving the ball, cutting, screening especially if doing that isn’t the strongest part of your game. He should’ve accepted coaching and learned to play like the warriors and spurs play in a system where the open man on the best shot shoots and when it can’t get a shot go 1 on 1 late that way when you’re having a bad game your teammates have a chance and you don’t waste all your damn energy early in the game
4:35 whos gonna step up to help Lebron?
Before game found out about delonte and mom
@Logan Ferguson Can you tell me a big playoff game where MJ played as poorly as LBJ did right here? This is LBJs rock bottom, I'm glad that Miami taught him to ignore what people say because you could tell it was getting to him. I dont however like how they taught him to flop. -_-
Detriot 1995, Game 5
@@Meyr3356 Michael Jordan had 39 points in that game.
1996 game 4 when payton guarding him lol
That's not a sentence
I mean…if I’m shooting 20 percent shooting 14 shots, the last thing I would think about is scoring. That’s being selfish. I don’t see the problem here.
Shutup kid
I honestly can let this performance slide. Yes, it did seem like he gave up, I remember watching with my dad and asking him what’s wrong with Lebron? but looking back I can understand why he played so poorly. Give credit to Boston’s defense and let’s face it Lebron really didn’t have another player that could create for themselves or others so everything was on his shoulders. This performance gets a pass but the 2011 finals against the Mavs is Lebron’s worst performance ever, no excuse to lose that series but he’s still one of the best ever.
It gets no pass so stop it
How is this a quit game? I watched this game and saw no lack of effort. This is why I hope cleveland never wins a championship ever
is that Shaq?
Yes
4:10 doing full-court alley oops before he went to the heat :)
Lebron did not give up he was out there tryin do yall not see the defense they was playin on him? Let's say they did win that game they would've had to win 2 more games before Boston won 1 that was not gonna happen. The Cavs failed to put a good team around Lebron & you see they're payin for it now & Lebron's succeeding.
actually if they won,they would have to win 1 game before boston wins 2
Your right my bad I thought this was game 6 when they said he gave up
@epitome1986 People do talk about it but the difference is whats funnier to watch kobe not shoot or LeBron throw up all of these bricks lmao
0:35 LMAO got miles of room and pump fakes then bricks it
This Happens When I Was 16 Years Old In My High School Junior Year When I Was Very Very Hot About This Game I Couldn't Believe Lebron James Got So Poored Down & Up.I'm Not Saying That The Boston Celtics Are Cheated.
dont confuse him for Kobe
wait is this the famous he quit on game 5 game??? lol you gotta be joking right? just because he was missing jumpshots what he did during games in terms of leading in rebounds, steal, assist dont count? hahaha so funny
Beats S You do realize he shot 20 percent on 14 shots right?
AlexanderRight lmao 14
He quit? I use too see the every other Cavalier player play like this all the time! Lol
Absolutely pathetic performance from James. Such an incredible player, getting beat by his own mentality.
It was 11 years ago chill out who carss
Have you looked at either the team he played against or for?
He was playing a gainst a boston big three that had Ray Allen.
The next best guy on his team ad a Box Plus/Minus of 1.8.
One point fucking eight.
And, ELEVEN of the EIGHTEEN players on that cavs team had a BPM of less than zero.
Steph curry couldn't beat that.
KD Couldn't beat that.
Considering how long he went without a ring, MJ probably wouldn't have been able to hack it either.
@@Meyr3356 Oh ok. Let's blame his teammates for his piss-poor performance then.
Oh btw, the Cavs were heavy favorites before the series started
NOBODY was picking the Celtics
they were either too old or injured.
but no, let's act like Lebron and the Cavs were always intended to lose this series even though they had the best record, homecourt advantage, and he was the MVP.
But hey, it's his teammates that made him shoot only 4 Field Goals in the 2nd half, right?
@@JoeSmithGOAT Yes we can.
Didn't Kobe do this once, al be it with a different mentality? If I recall, he played facillitator to prove a point that he was needed, and the lakers got curbstomped.
The same thing happened to MJ, where he couldn't get into a rythm against the pistons pre-pippen, and didn't perform.
All 3 of those scenarioshave one thing in common. All of them were teams that were carried by a single superstar, and had no buisness getting anywhere near the finals, with the only meaningful difference being Lebron's cavs were a one seed.
But lets forget about that because lebron was bad.
Here's a tip for you to remember:
The better team will always win a 7 game sieries, regardless of individual talent. Here's a good modern example: 2015. Lebron's all-star-less Cavs, vs the Warriors. THe only way this rule gets broken regularly is injury.
Also, when tristan thompson holds curry to less than 35% from the field, it's good defense, but when the 2010 cavs team runs into a defense desighned to shit all over teams like that, lebron's a choker.
u want to know what i dont get? michael jordan has a bad night everyone says he had a bad night lebron has a bad night everyone says he quit. come on thats not fair at all
Lebron was terrible this game
lEbRoN oWnS tHe CeLtIcS
That isn't an alley-oop. Another band wagon Heat fan.
3:14 ALLAH!
Lebron Loser mentality james
