I know! He used to play so much flashier and Kobe like but statistically he wasn't as accurate shooting over the course of the season. I don't blame him for mostly driving to the hoop now though because he shoots almost 60% and scores about just as much. Can't argue with that. Ya know?
✨ Now, not taking anything away from Michael Jordan, he was a great player. But LEBRON, but LEBRON JAMES is the best basketball player that ever touched the basketball. There's no comparison. And what makes LEBRON JAMES even better. There will be no one, ever, that could break the goals LEBRON is setting. Especially all time scoring, that belongs forever to, LEBRON JAMES! Glad I got to watch LEBRON, during my life time ✨🏀
the fact he did this at the tender age of 20 is remarkable. To put things in perspective, Michael Jordan never scored more than 45 points his rookie year at age 21-22.
Yea exactly MJ did that his 2nd year when he was 21 and 22 while Lebron did that at age 20. He achieved that at a younger age. Yea MJ scored more but thats not what he's talking about.
***** and still when came to the heat it was a lil better but the team still sucked, thats why he leaving now, if he won he would have stayed for a couple more years and then go back, but man, it aint easy to threepeat alone
bernard james Heat was good the first 2 years he was there, but Wade had a lot of problems with his knee the past season. Bosh never played like he did in toronto, And the heat never had a real starting center that can rebound.
The cavaliers had multiple chances to get right pieces and get stars on Lebron's cav era, but Dan Gilbert did not even try to do that, and gave him horrible players... The best the management got Lebron was Eric Snow, Mo Williams, and late 30s shaq... all the rest of the players are now bench warmers or in the d league or playing in china idk.
Yes, he has a contract he can´t just leave whenever he wants. He left because the cavaliers NEVER EVER put up a decent team for him. That team you talk about was antawn jamison, mo williams, old rotten shaquille oneal and delonte west. So, that tells you how good he really is that he made those average players win plus 60 games. Or do you think mo williams and antwan jamison are all stars?
No williams and jamison were not all-stars, the thing about that cavs team in 2009 and 2010 was their chemistry, they worked so well together, they just didn't play well enough in the playoffs. If Lebron just stayed for 2 more years he would of definitely won a chip with that cavs team because they would of gotten better with experience.
One of his biggest mistakes was not carving out his own path and embracing the Jordan comparisons. LeBron is actually a one of one all-time talent but wearing number 23 and never shooting down comparisons to a player who stands alone at the top and it's not even close. Kinda move by his marketing team
This is why he left Cleveland! The man had no help. If someone else could score 15-20 points consistently, he would not have to work so hard. Plus, I love Paul Silas as a player, but he was not a good coach.
in 2007 he led the cleveland to NBA Finals with a crappy supporting cast. cleveland doesn't know how to support james with a good supporting cast. If the Front office did a good job before, he might've stayed in cleveland and won a championship.
Not true at all, the Cavs were an excellent team, they would of won a championship within the two years after Lebron left, Lebron just didn't want to play with the Cavs anymore. You can't tell me the best record in the nba for 2 straight years with Lebron getting better every year wouldn't have won a championship the upcoming years.
And then people want to criticize him for leaving thid piece of shit organization.. He made this team.. He put up 56 points and still lose... Wanna know why cuz his teammates are and were always scrubs when he plsyed for the cavs.. People still dont realize
LESTIFISA Li I agree that he isn't as explosive but I think he is heavier(or was since he apparently lost weight. But every once in awhile, he jumps and gets high like he used to. Check his alley oop dunk vs the Pacers or the one against the Hawks this year. Freakish.
so what if LeBron James left Cleveland his contract expired anyone to Miami it is what it is it's a free country he's a free man let him do what he wants
Lebron should have played like shit on purpose for a few years maybe they could have drafted him some help... They obviously didnt know how to bring in talent.
OK THIS WAS 2005??? LOOKS LIKE IT WAS RECORDED IN 95"
His Jumpshot and free-throw release looked so much better back than!

And he shot alot worse
didnt age well
It's amazing how he scored 56 points in just his 2nd season in the NBA.
That was his 3rd tho. 😂 he was drafted in 2003. I am a fan of Lebron and was very happy when he came to Miami. I’m a Heat fan. Go Lebron. Go Heat

He’s been the best player in the league since he was drafted
the fact he did this at the tender age of 20 is remarkable. To put things in perspective, Michael Jordan never scored more than 45 points his rookie year at age 21-22.
Lebron dropped 56 in his 2nd year and MJ dropped 63 on the Celtics in his 2nd year. So what are you talking about?
Joseph Johnson he knows nothing about the history of ball
JOPPMAN8000 True. He must be a heat fan.
Yea exactly MJ did that his 2nd year when he was 21 and 22 while Lebron did that at age 20. He achieved that at a younger age. Yea MJ scored more but thats not what he's talking about.
Franly Altamirano i know right
He did this in just his second year in the league
He puts up 56 and they still lose. Cleveland fans still wonder why he left lol
Bron done made so many memories in that canada center
His game has evolved so much
lol commentators saying "you've got to be kidding me" so many times
Dude is at most 20 years old here. CRAZY!!!!
People talk about kevin durant scoring. Durant has never scored 56 in a game and he is 25.
jsmasterlubu3 See: Russell Westbrook
What about him?
this was in 05, when they weren't putting up 66 win seasons....
56 and still lost? Damn
Shows the contribution from his teammates.
This is why he left. And I don't blame him.
JDawOfficial
Me neither, but haters will hate lol.
***** and still when came to the heat it was a lil better but the team still sucked, thats why he leaving now, if he won he would have stayed for a couple more years and then go back, but man, it aint easy to threepeat alone
bernard james

Bosh never played like he did in toronto, And the heat never had a real starting center that can rebound.
This was in 2005... He left in 2010 when his team had the best record in the league.
lol this looks like it was filmed in the early 90's
HDTV makes a big difference. This wasn't even that old.
or maybe i'm just getting old :(
Kobe and lebron have scored there career high against the raptors.
Big butt lebron is back!!!!
love the chain necklace as he enters the building lol
Hairline was sharp when he was young
i think it is 05/06 too,bruce blitz gives great arguments,he is the best since than,and should have gotten the mvp in 05-06
never see this in miami
damn he looked way better back then
LeBron James was so much more real here. He wasn't fake
Just the way he dressed and talk was so much more the real him. Now he dresses weird with scarfs now and talks like a robot in his interviews.
***** Yeah that is a good point.
Young Rain
Well he's near 30 now, you can't dress like that forever, plus the new NBA dress code kinda forced people to change their wardrobe.
at the air canada senator...CENTER!!!
9:06 DAMN
Jalen rose had to deal with that young man lol
I agree, if they kept Boozer and added more pieces, than i think Lebron could have won a championship with the Cavs.
Pre-LeBronto
That dunked at 01:47 omg
he is still a very young man ,receding hairline and all.....and the best player on the planet with many more rings to win too
Gooden was mad jealous of Lebron back then.
Kobe came right behind him and posted 81. Proves this was just a weak ball club.
The cavaliers had multiple chances to get right pieces and get stars on Lebron's cav era, but Dan Gilbert did not even try to do that, and gave him horrible players... The best the management got Lebron was Eric Snow, Mo Williams, and late 30s shaq... all the rest of the players are now bench warmers or in the d league or playing in china idk.

against the same coach too
They need to stop actin like hd didn't exist
lol. I was thinking the same thing.
9;08 HOLY SHIT
Bring back Swirsky!!
He been giving Toronto problems since day one lol 🤣
LeBronto 😂😅
3:10 kobe-like numbers
Why would you play to lose?
No williams and jamison were not all-stars, the thing about that cavs team in 2009 and 2010 was their chemistry, they worked so well together, they just didn't play well enough in the playoffs. If Lebron just stayed for 2 more years he would of definitely won a chip with that cavs team because they would of gotten better with experience.
lol great and obvious point
Eric snow was a bum 4 ppg cmon now
Lol the raptor's fans were cheering for lebron at times.
Damn he was so clean then, now he all tatted lol
No wonder he left. He drops 56 and Cavs still lose
Sign to the Roc since age 20 Ugh !
How were they a weak opeanant they had jalen rose Chris bosh and other pieces df?
"We're going to make you put up big numbers, and shut down everybody else." People wonder why this team didn't win a title.
Because the rest of his team sucked ass so he had to score 56 for them to have a chance to win😂
And they got mad when he left the cavs 56 points and they can't win a game.
How are you gonna compare MJ to LBJ? Scorer vs all around player. Just saying
One of his biggest mistakes was not carving out his own path and embracing the Jordan comparisons. LeBron is actually a one of one all-time talent but wearing number 23 and never shooting down comparisons to a player who stands alone at the top and it's not even close. Kinda move by his marketing team
He did carved his own path ! On and off the court he's been very diferent from MJ !
He’s the all time leading scorer, Something Jordan strived for but couldn’t achieve.
eric snow smh
What happen? if cav no LBJ
Why does his shot form look so sexy here, and so ugly in the present
Weights
Raptors had no defense lebron 56 Kobe 81
he basically carried them to the finals so what r u talkin about
Capital B in LeBron
Dang, in 2005 they was comparing LeBron and MJ and today in 2013 they still comparing them.
It's 2023 and they are still comparing them both
ira newble wow
Or make some trades to get someone like lakers did for kobe time and time again
he really don’t like the raptors lmao

theres no fucking torch
it doesnt bother us that he left. its the fact that he lead us to believe that he was going to stay and then drop a bomb on us with the decision.
At 1:04 he said he got the package(PAUSE)
thats so true LMFAO
Lost with 56 points ?? LBJ would waste his time if he stayed in Cleveland.
lebron hand picked everybody that came to the cavs.
do you think they would bring in people without consulting with the best player in the league?
Not true at all, the Cavs were an excellent team, they would of won a championship within the two years after Lebron left, Lebron just didn't want to play with the Cavs anymore. You can't tell me the best record in the nba for 2 straight years with Lebron getting better every year wouldn't have won a championship the upcoming years.

back when he could actually jump
his head doesn't touch the nets now.
LESTIFISA Li you didnt see him in the all star game last year huh he caught a windmill alley and his head was at the rim
he's not as explosive or agile as before
LESTIFISA Li He may not be as agile as before, but he still gets his head at rim level.
LESTIFISA Li I agree that he isn't as explosive but I think he is heavier(or was since he apparently lost weight. But every once in awhile, he jumps and gets high like he used to. Check his alley oop dunk vs the Pacers or the one against the Hawks this year. Freakish.

his team was trash. 56 and they still lost
