I'm a Kobe fan, but this LeBron Parts of the cases of the GOAT making me respect him more than I ever have🔥🔥🔥. But yeah hope we get one for Kobe & Larry Bird👌💯
Honestly the GOAT debate is pointless, how do you compare players from different eras with different rules and different technology and thus training and conditioning? Rather than wondering who is the GOAT, we should be exploring who is the GOG, i.e. the Greatest Of a Generation. George Mikan and Bob Pettit owned the 1950s, Wilt Chamberlain dominated the 1960s, Kareem the 1970s, Magic/Bird were the kings of the 1980s. Jordan was the emperor of the 1990s, Kobe of the 2000s and LeBron is the king of the 2010s. So to recap: 1950s: George Mikan/Bob Pettit 1960s: Wilt Chamberlain 1970s: Kareem Abdul Jabbar 1980s: Magic Johnson/Larry Bird 1990s: Michael Jordan 2000s: Kobe Bryant 2010s: Lebron James
You have an excellent point. But you still can look at all those players and come to a conclusion as to who is the all time greatest - meaning no matter what period - they had the overall best skill set so that no matter what era they played in they would be the greatest. From that perspective it is almost impossible to not consider Wilt Chamberlain the greatest basketball player of all time - the reason is that Wilt was the greatest in the three most important skills in basketball - scoring (Kareem only caught Wilt because he played longer and Wilt didn't try to score his last 7 years). Rebounds - only Russell could match Wilt. Blocks - only Russell and Hakeem could match Wilt - but WILT is the only person on all three of these lists and the actual leader in all three lists - PLUS Wilt was actually one of the fastest persons on earth, the strongest person on earth and could jump higher than almost everyone on earth. No just in basketball but on EARTH. It is easy to realize that if you had a team of Wilt, Kareem, Russell (Wilt Center, Kareem forward, Russell forward, Oscar Robertson guard and Michael Jordan guard - no team would ever beat that team. Probably wouldn't win even one game EVER.
I'll never forget ray Allen shot to save that series.never forget those tense last 3 minutes in 2016 where both teams struggled to score.Lebron may not be the goat but he's damn close.hope he gets his 5th MVP this year.lebrons time as the best player in the world is running out,enjoy greatness while you can because we won't see a player like him ever again
Path of least resistance would have been going to Celtics...that’s equivalent to what KD did. Lebron made a team, he didn’t go to a successful team. Let’s stop getting that Fact twisted.
That was pure magic, and I’m glad my dad still was alive then to experience and witness that. Long time basketball fans. He saw all the greats from Russell to Isaiah to Jordan, Kobe and then LeBron and Curry
Dom2k, it was fun watching this mini DOCUMENTARY of why LeBron James is regarded as this gen's GOAT. Keep up with the great, informative videos, it's has been a pleasure. #KingJames 👑🦁💪
@Orlando Martin Not this year for sure, but next year... They got a spot for another superstar and the warriors are about to break apart cuz the supermaxes are coming into play and GSW doesnt have that kinda money.
@Orlando Martin I get that but you can build a solid team around Lebron for 35M, either get more depth or get 2 solid defensive/lethal shooters whichever way you wanna play it. The young talent is improving, Lonzo ball aint trash anymore (well its a bit early but I wish the best for him), Kuzma is still solid and Ingram is exploding. They can also keep the pieces they aquired this offseason if they work well with the system or experiment. Thing is Lakers got time with Lebron not moving and GSW dont got that kinda time. Durant is not a guarantee (hell he might join Lebron 😂😂), Thompson is the most likely to leave, Donkey is probs gonna want a pay check and Curry is staying, although they do have young talents so I guess they set for a few more years but the best dynasty the NBA has ever seen is nearing its end.
Lol what a fucking joke those Finals were. Curry went in hurt, Iggy and Bogut got hurt and GS still should've won in 5 if the NBA didnt step in and fuck over GS
@Lap Kiu Fan Only hating here is yo ass on the Celtics. I just stated actual facts. If you cant handle facts thats a YOU problem. Go look at the aforementioned players stats just the season before joining up with lebron and then what happened with him. Anything you crybabies dont like you label as "hating," gtfo it you're gonna be saying "anything's possible" rather than debate and be able to back up your statements with data like i do
@Lap Kiu Fan just stfu kid, you have 0 basketball IQ. You making yourself look stupid here. Go hate on Boston elsewhere. LA Lakers aint doing shit. Lebron aint Kobe, face it
Nothing will ever compare to his 2016 Finals averages and game 6 and 7, simply one of the greatest moments in NBA history and I'll always remember how shook I was when Cavs won it that year.
People don't realize that a lot of luck goes into winning a championship. You cant tell me that the 94 rockets didn't get lucky cause they did. So did the 88 lakers, 2000 and 2002 lakers, the 05 spurs, the 2010 lakers, 2015 warriors. Luck happens all the time in sports so haters need to stop discrediting the greatness of a player. Its unfair. The 91 lakers had some injuries as well. Hell even Tom brady won two of his superbowls off of two lucky plays. Haters need to stop diminishing lebrons greatness and saying he got lucky in 2013 and 2016. They need to realize that lucky plays and favorable circumstances happens a lot in sports. He is a 3x champ and 3x fmvp vs thunder, spurs, and warriors and that's that.
@@Sergio-vh2sb the cavs gave didn't give him enough help. The only reason they got kyrie and wiggins was cause they were the worst team in the league. So him leaving was good for him and the team. And also he didn't join the best team. It wasn't a forgone conclusion to win. He is top 5 no doubt.
This was just espectacular. Im so in love with this channel. The passion you put in your videos and the quality of them are just unmatchable! Keep up the good work, this channel is pretty much historical
*CASE FOR NBA UA-camR GOAT*...*NO DEBATE IT'S DOM2K*. Thank you so much for this video Dom, this was such a great series. It really felt like a short documentary. You did such a great job on this man really. Such good analysis and storytelling. LeBron's career is really like a movie and you really made this series as entertaining as possible and without being bias. All you did was talk all factual statements. Idk what else to say but seriously I don't know how much else I could praise this series it's just so great it kinda left me speechless at the end. You're so underrated and not enough people have the privalage to have discovered this amazing NBA channel. I look forward to seeing you hit 1M one day and beyond. Thanks Dom, Keep grinding and creating fun content I don't see how you couldn't do it.
Best set of videos you’ve ever made imo. I hope for the mj, Kobe ect ones you go through their struggles. No player is perfect and never will be and hearing about the struggle and how they had to improve as a teammate or player makes their story/case better
This Documentary was so well put together man. Thanks for breaking it down for this younger folk. Ima Lakers (Kobe Fan also) and I dont agree with him coming to the lake show but he will get us at least one title before he retires and will be the first player in NBA History to have his banners in three different franchises. Thank you Dom
Ayy Dom back at it with this and the grind man! If only.. that forgotten goat series.. The Goat Javale McGee's case. yall know that the fans smahed the like button that the video went private ;)
Does anyone remember that Golden State win the Finals this year? Cause I can't I still only remember the GREATEST NBA Finals in history the 2016 Finals.
Jeremy Dela Cruz MJ still will be the goat because when it’s all said and done Lebron James didn’t do what MJ did, 6-0... a great storyline for Lebron thou...
Kareem got destroyed by Wilt when Wilt was out of his prime getting off a knee surgery. IF Wilt played in the 90s where zone defense was illegal and allowed greater physical offenses than the 60s, he would have killed MJ and Shaq. Most of LeBron's moves would have been offensive fouls in the 60s.
“Or maybe you didn’t understand Miami had made a monster out of him” followed by the clip of that play and the music is far and away my favorite moment on any of your videos. Great work on thaf
I didn't know YOU, in particular *, or anybody else, in general, was capable of such a level of EXCELLENCE. Wow, just wow! * Not all that long ago, while I thought you were terrific on most NBA issues; I thought you were a blind LeBron hater. To go from that to this level of objectivity - is super rare!
The NBA is like anime sometimes. As we all know warriors are bad guys, I see it as lebron sacrificing his leagcy to stay on his drafted team and go to lakers and balance the league out against the warriors so maybe thing will be back to normal by the time he retires.
Dom ur vids r the best for the simple fact of the simplicity and realty in them. U put so much perspective in them that I think ur the best youtuber in this category. This did will now be my fav vid about lebron ever. Keep up the amazing work, Keep it 100, and stay real
LeBron has a great story, and he is one of the best players ever. But he's not my GOAT, not yet, by far. He had to win in 2011, 2014 and 2015, then the case would be open in my mind. People just forgot (or simply dont know) what MJ, KAJ or B.Russel really did ,and discredit their success. I also think it's purely generational.
@@connorsmith6517 I'm not saying that 2015 was his fault but that we can't make excuses for all his losses in the finals when we don't do it for greats like Magic or Wilt
Lol Jordan didn’t have 40 points finals elimination games because he never trailed in the finals. He did have consecutive 40 points games in the finals tho and I’m prettt sure 3 in a row in the early 90s
Well it makes sense since no other team in the league at the time was as stacked as the bulls which also paired with one of the GOAT coaches. Back then most teams only had 1 all-star in their prime while Bulls had 2 in the 1st 3-peat. Then in the 2nd 3-peat Bulls had 3 all-stars and a very good bench while most other teams only had 1 or 2 max. They were like The GSW of 90s so let's not get over ourselves (obviously Jordan was the significant reason for their dominance but it wasn't just him, his team was great).
Lakers had magic and worthy. Blazers had drexler and porter. Suns had barkley and KJ. Bulls were not the most stacked team of that era. The blazers and suns, for example, had more talented players. The suns had 6 players that had been all stars at that point. Bulls only had 3, and one of them was old bill cartwright, who made the all star team back in 1980. Learn something and stop believing the narrative created by other MJ haters.
Evan Fabio wrong. The only time the Bulls were stacked was in 96 (72 win bulls team). In no other season were the Bulls completely dominant. Also, many other teams were stacked, and waybetter than the Bulls. Showtime Lakers for instance. The 96 Sonics had like 5 3 pt specialists + Gary Payton (one of the greatest point guards) and Shawn Kemp, one of the greatest wingmen ever. That last team is the one that commentators, analysts, nba legends, and players of that time actually compare with the warrios of today as well as with Orlando Magic of 95' abd of 96'. Michael himself one said right after beating the knichs in the 96' east semis: "with Orlando is going to be really tough. They have players who can score from any area of the court, and possibly put up 30-40 points on any given night." Therefore they were waaay more talented than the 96' Bulls. Interesting that the Bulls ended up sweeping them! Also, The Utah Jazz, while not having as many shooters as Seattle or Orlando, did have like 3 deadly 3pt shooters, + John Stockton (one of the greatest point guards ever), and Karl Malone (an earlier version of Lebron in terms of physicality, Offense, and rebounding). The Blazers had Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter. Both Shooters, and Porters was deadly during that time as a playmaker and 3pt shooter. The 93' Suns were the least effective against the Bulls, and still they had like 4 shooters as well. The 93' Bulls struggled all yr, Michael was beung investigated by the law as well as the NBA for the gambling issue, the team Chemistry was suffering a lot, and they had 2 players that were going to retire that summer, yet the Bulls won all games played in Phoenix. Interesting. Another thing is that the Bulls NEVER had a good center, yet they dominated the paint and the outside as well. So no, the Bulls were the most stacked team only once, and they faced off two other completely and in one case even better stacked team that yr, and almost swept both. Every other yr the Bulls had to fight for everything. And while the game has gotten more loose and athletic, the defense today is almost absent, before a certain point in the playoffs every yr. Therefore, the only teams that really merit comparison to any Bulls team are the current Golden State Warriors (as stacked as they are 'cause they'd need all that talent to win any amount of games in a series against the Bulls), + teams of the 80's, particularly, the 86' Celtics, which in my opinion, and that of many eho have watched Bball for decades, are the best team ever - better than the 96 Bulls, and the 2016 Warriors.
@yaboii swagger I'm getting tired of this crap. why can't somebody just give some level of praise to Lebron without being called a bronsexual. The world does not revolve around him so not everyone is a hater or a dickerider. What happened to nba fans. We can't even have proper debates without people like you saying stupid things like this.
AKay Chill bro, the lil kid has a profile pic of roblox. He doesn't know what an opinion is, and doesn't know how to use logic either. don't put such heavy expectations on his feather weight brain.
Jordan part 1: Rookie season only. Part 2: season two injury and comming back to battle with management to olay the right minutes, the playoffs, playoff single game scoring record, and battle during off season to be able to play wherever ("love of the game clause"). Part 3: 37.1 ppg in 87', best stats ever in 5 categories put together - led led 88' Bulls in all of them (rebounds, assists, points, stealsb blks), + AllStar game and regular season MVP honors. Part 3: 89' - 91' "Journey to the first in which he helped the Bulls beat the Showtime Lakers". Part 4: back to back + "The Shrug" while becoming a proto-Steven Curry in the first 24 mins of the 92' finals. Three-peat amidst illegal gambling accusations, subpoenas from people that accused him of not paying gambling debts, maintaing his team united amidst a severe drop in chemistry. Part 5: 95' and 96' - Comeback, double nickle in MSG - out of shape and in only his 5th game back. 20 yr standing regular season team winning record and all posible 1996 mvp honors, 4th championship in 96'. Part 6: 1997 reapeat of 96' type domination + endurance against fellow Dream Team teammates. Part 7, part 8, part 9: The Last Dance, beating the Jazz in game 6 while Pippen out half of that game with an injured back, Rodman with an injured tumb and not able to rebound as well, fatigued, and injured right index finger affecting his overall shooting. 3parts here because of all the drama, and basically the shit he and the Bulls had to go through that yr. I tried summarising. But yeah, kinda too long I guess.
Christian Roy Lammawin Why he has so many “haters”? You can blame Nick Wright, Colin Cowherd, Shannon Sharpe, Brian Windhorst, Max Kellerman, Rachel Nichols, Mike Greenberg, and all the millions of LeBron fanboys that actually eat their bullshit.
maybe because right now the media own everything? I bet that if Magic, MJ, Wilt and many others were playing nowadays, they would have been criticized more. Also when you have that body, skills you should have been a Wilt 2.0
2016 wasn’t “overcoming adversity”...it was a tough series but no way in hell was it this mission impossible kind of task. Their 6th man was literally a walking mummy and still tried to guard LeBron, their starting center blew his knee out, and Green was suspended in a pivotal game. And I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but during and after the Thunder series; Curry didn’t look the same. He looked like he never really recovered from that injury he was recovering from before the Portland series. (You could clearly tell by his jump shot. It didn’t look the same.) I’m just playing devils (non-biased) advocate here. If LeBron gets an excuse for 2015, that means the Warriors get an asterisk for that chip. So using the same logic; if the Warriors clearly weren’t 100% in 2016, why don’t they get even a slight bit of a pass? So many things had to happen in order for this “amazing comeback” to happen, and that’s just facts 🤷🏻♂️
Everything had to go in the Cavs favour for them to win that series. League intervention taking Green out the elimination game, loss of their rim protection which now gave LeBron free range in the post, and Iggy battling back issues.
suntansuperman26 Iggy was out there holding his back with one hand and contesting LeBron with the other. All while the media going crazy “Oh my god LeBron taking it to the hole with Iggy guarding him!” Gimme a break lmao
You did a great job with this series, I hope you keep the format for other ‘cases for GOAT’ videos, makes the stories feel far grander with the details put in. Anyway, keep up the great work
Great career retrospective! I'd love to see you go into Jordan's career with the same level of detail, even with how much has already been said it'd be cool to have your take.
Let's correct something... in 2016... a healthy Cavs team faced a crippled Warriors team and not the "best team" of all time, as Curry the unanimous MVP was playing hurt, Iggy Lebrons main defender was also hurt and having back spasms, Boggot was out, the rim protector to spot easy layups and dunks from Lebron was hurt, and Draymon was out 1 game. So please stop over glorifying the 2016 finals as a case for Lebron to be the goat. yes all titles are not created equal, and a fully loaded cavs team beating a crippled Warriors is worth less then any of the Heat rings. He had a stacked team with 2 other allstars facing another team with 3 allstars, where the other team had a lot of hurt players. In 2015 everyone excuses him losing because his team was hurt, in 2016 everyone ignores the Warriors were hurt and treat it like he beat them at full strength. Hypocrisy.
@@Matt-os2zn lebron could have won in 2017. He had love and kyrie. Houston with only 2 stars almost beat them. The cavs had the best player in the world, 2nd best pg and love
LeBron is the only star that gets away with having multiple all-stars and still "needs more help". If he weren't in the Eastern conference, he wouldn't even have this many rings in the first place. We can talk about hypotheticals all day. Wilt "would" have 6 rings if he didn't lose four final game 7s by a total margin of 9 points! MJ wouldn't have 6 rings if he didn't have the most stacked defensive team in the 90s and there weren't illegal defense rules. But in the end, it doesn't matter. Everyone has different variety of luck. Rings don't indicate skill, they indicate luck.
These four specific Videos make me Emotional as a Sports and B-ball Fan. All the Special and Legendary Moments to confirm the King's Greatness. People need to appreciate what they've been witnessing instead of Hating.

You made a mistake and titled game 2 vs warriors twice 19:00
You are going to produce the final part in ~6 years. Let's hope Lebron writes a good enough script for it.
Please what is the beat instrumental at 14:01
Part 5 should come out in 4 years once he's done with his contract
He'll win one more ring. Count on it
Maybe
soldier2009 honestly I don’t really think so
@@jeffboird6050 honestly no one cares about your opinion
Hugo Vazquez I agree.
I still need to know what happens in the “greatest playoff series of all time”
I feel ya fam

Honestly the GOAT debate is pointless, how do you compare players from different eras with different rules and different technology and thus training and conditioning? Rather than wondering who is the GOAT, we should be exploring who is the GOG, i.e. the Greatest Of a Generation. George Mikan and Bob Pettit owned the 1950s, Wilt Chamberlain dominated the 1960s, Kareem the 1970s, Magic/Bird were the kings of the 1980s. Jordan was the emperor of the 1990s, Kobe of the 2000s and LeBron is the king of the 2010s.
So to recap:
1950s: George Mikan/Bob Pettit
1960s: Wilt Chamberlain
1970s: Kareem Abdul Jabbar
1980s: Magic Johnson/Larry Bird
1990s: Michael Jordan
2000s: Kobe Bryant
2010s: Lebron James
Cheb Tihej YES
No Duncan in the 2000s?
Completely agree there’s no need to talk down on Lebron, Jordan, Kobe or any nba legend their all great
wilt/russel
kobe/duncan
otherwise youre right
You have an excellent point. But you still can look at all those players and come to a conclusion as to who is the all time greatest - meaning no matter what period - they had the overall best skill set so that no matter what era they played in they would be the greatest.

Maybe Ben simmons
His son, nigga stop, its 2018 there will without a doubt be someone like or better than him.
Ben Simmons out here is 6"10
There will be sometime soon, I used to say the same about Jordan but we got Kobe a few years later
Alexred94 Facts!
Who’s here after he won his 4th finals mvp and championship. Truly the greatest player of my generation
Who’s here after he got the most points in NBA history?
Path of least resistance would have been going to Celtics...that’s equivalent to what KD did. Lebron made a team, he didn’t go to a successful team. Let’s stop getting that Fact twisted.
Pista Bacsi exactly
I agree. He didn’t join the Celtics or Spurs.
The ending is scary just to think of all the things he can do in the future
People old up ya know so now he's riding the meme team
lay yeah I agree when you get old you tend to understand and appreciate what you have
I was wrong.
I think he’s gonna Change his play style to adapt to his later years
Mr.Miyagi he’s kind of already changed it being more pass first now but he’s still one of the top scorers
The 2016 finals made being a sports fan my whole life worth it
That was pure magic, and I’m glad my dad still was alive then to experience and witness that. Long time basketball fans. He saw all the greats from Russell to Isaiah to Jordan, Kobe and then LeBron and Curry
To think that Dom’s outro all came true in a span of 4 years, and he’s a single season away from all-time leading scorer
Spoilers
Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.
Rip The GOAT X Get him before he escapes

Dom, you can tell one hell of a story. I had chills and goosebumps watching.
People don't realize that a lot of luck goes into winning a championship. You cant tell me that the 94 rockets didn't get lucky cause they did. So did the 88 lakers, 2000 and 2002 lakers, the 05 spurs, the 2010 lakers, 2015 warriors. Luck happens all the time in sports so haters need to stop discrediting the greatness of a player.

2001? lakers too. refs gifted them that series against sacramento
Tom Brady got lucky 4 times that fool is the most overrated qb in nfl history.
@Brandon Martin If Lebron never left the cavs would he be in the goat conversation? He just be a guy with a lot of stats with nothing to back it up.
Always need luck my man !! Im happy to see Bron playing off ball this preseason & working on his post ups 💪💪 4th ring COMING SOON
@@Sergio-vh2sb the cavs gave didn't give him enough help. The only reason they got kyrie and wiggins was cause they were the worst team in the league. So him leaving was good for him and the team. And also he didn't join the best team. It wasn't a forgone conclusion to win. He is top 5 no doubt.
The fact that each one of these parts don’t have 1 or 2 million views a piece is a shame. Very well done my guy
I love the ending when he starts speaking on what LeBron COULD end up accomplishing 😂
This was just espectacular. Im so in love with this channel. The passion you put in your videos and the quality of them are just unmatchable! Keep up the good work, this channel is pretty much historical
Cavs would’ve won the 2015 chip if love and Irving didn’t get hurt
But imagine if they won 2016 wouldn’t of been as memorable
J.R Smith’s Henny Bottle tru
J.R Smith’s Henny Bottle wouldn’t win 2016 one tho...
That's more of an opinion and not a fact. Now would I give Cleveland the edge yes but a guaranteed win no. I'd have to see that play out.
And golden state would have won in 2016 if draymond wasn't suspended and iggy and bougt didn't get hurt
Amazing series bro. He's gonna retire the greatest ever after bringing a Championship to the Lakers.
Loved every minute of this. Can't wait for MJ's. You were able to capture the magnitude of every moment in his career
*CASE FOR NBA UA-camR GOAT*...*NO DEBATE IT'S DOM2K*. Thank you so much for this video Dom, this was such a great series. It really felt like a short documentary. You did such a great job on this man really. Such good analysis and storytelling. LeBron's career is really like a movie and you really made this series as entertaining as possible and without being bias. All you did was talk all factual statements. Idk what else to say but seriously I don't know how much else I could praise this series it's just so great it kinda left me speechless at the end. You're so underrated and not enough people have the privalage to have discovered this amazing NBA channel. I look forward to seeing you hit 1M one day and beyond. Thanks Dom, Keep grinding and creating fun content I don't see how you couldn't do it.
It's always a good day when Dom uploads
You ended this so perfectly. That shot! The music!
Holy crap that outro music was great.
Name?
These past videos have been made so exquisitely.
Can't wait for part 5, great work dom!

Why Kevin Love is the Goat.(A 7 Part special).
This series was phenomenal
Dom, can you please hide Zach Johnson’s comments?
Coolhands444 😂
On god
Coolhands444 😩🙌🏽
Preaching to the choir
Fr fucken virgin needs to stfu
Best set of videos you’ve ever made imo. I hope for the mj, Kobe ect ones you go through their struggles. No player is perfect and never will be and hearing about the struggle and how they had to improve as a teammate or player makes their story/case better
This is it chief ✊🏼
Don this is definitely the best series you have done. Amazing. This one gave me goosebumps watching it
This series should be a documentary on espn
This Documentary was so well put together man. Thanks for breaking it down for this younger folk. Ima Lakers (Kobe Fan also) and I dont agree with him coming to the lake show but he will get us at least one title before he retires and will be the first player in NBA History to have his banners in three different franchises. Thank you Dom
Well technically Shaq shouldve gotten the 1st ever unanimous MVP in 2000
Jordan with a 37 point average, DPoY, great record, All-Star MVP, Dunk Contest winner in 88. And i am no MJ deluded fanboy but facts are facts
@@krks99 what does that have to do with Shaq not becoming the first unanimous MVP?
Graziano Knott he’s implying Jordan should have been first
Also all those things didn't happen in the same season, the year he averaged 37, the record was 40-42
No matter who should've been first I think we can all agree Curry shouldn't have gotten that honor
That Lebron documentary 15 years from now finna be legendary
You know he is good if he needs 4 parts
Dom2k deserves 1 million subscribers for videos like this. MikeKorzemba couldn't even pull off a 4-part in depth series as spectacular as this!
Ayy Dom back at it with this and the grind man! If only.. that forgotten goat series.. The Goat Javale McGee's case. yall know that the fans smahed the like button that the video went private ;)
ChaosGamer18 //Roblox and more corny
Amazing a goat makes a video on the goat I’m at a loss for words this was a masterpiece
Does anyone remember that Golden State win the Finals this year? Cause I can't I still only remember the GREATEST NBA Finals in history the 2016 Finals.
Fax
2013 > 2016
I got chills watching this. Great video, great series, great story. Dom you're the real GOAT
Damn I wonder how long MJ's case is gonna be since this was 4 parts. Great video btw
Jeremy Dela Cruz MJ still will be the goat because when it’s all said and done Lebron James didn’t do what MJ did, 6-0... a great storyline for Lebron thou...
Bronx Born 53 it’s a team game that’s the reason he made the series lmao
Bronx Born 53 bill Russel 11-1 so he’s the goat?
@@bronxmade8710 Robert Horry 7-0 guess he's the GOAT with your flawed logic.
Bill Rusell 8peated and won 11 rings in 13 seasons. Thats some GOAT shit.
This series was incredible, there isnt another NBA UA-camr who is able to break down things like Dom
I feel like the only 3 players that can be considered the GOAT are Kareem, Jordan, and LeBron.
Nah Chamberlain, Kareem, and Lebron
Kareem got destroyed by Wilt when Wilt was out of his prime getting off a knee surgery. IF Wilt played in the 90s where zone defense was illegal and allowed greater physical offenses than the 60s, he would have killed MJ and Shaq. Most of LeBron's moves would have been offensive fouls in the 60s.
and brian scalabrini
The White Mamba has more talent in his left toenail than LeBron James
I agree with u 100%
“Or maybe you didn’t understand Miami had made a monster out of him” followed by the clip of that play and the music is far and away my favorite moment on any of your videos. Great work on thaf
I didn't know YOU, in particular *, or anybody else, in general, was capable of such a level of EXCELLENCE. Wow, just wow!
* Not all that long ago, while I thought you were terrific on most NBA issues; I thought you were a blind LeBron hater. To go from that to this level of objectivity - is super rare!
Man, I got no words. You're legendary. This 4 part series was definitely one of the best ones I've watched. just wow
What's the song that plays as 12:45?
One of the most inspiring player ever....tnx Dom for covering his journey best series I have watched about the NBA
Damn… Dom… 2.. Mf'in… K… that's was a f&%%* series… that was f&%&$#* entertaining as hell.. Great job👍👍👍
Masterpiece. Nothing less to say
The NBA is like anime sometimes. As we all know warriors are bad guys, I see it as lebron sacrificing his leagcy to stay on his drafted team and go to lakers and balance the league out against the warriors so maybe thing will be back to normal by the time he retires.
Great series dom, some of your best work. Keep getting better brother.
Where's goat playoff series part 3?
Great video btw
I love your videos man and I’m obviously not the only one. Keep up the good work bro. We all appreciate it.
warriors vs cavs pre durant they won eachothers championships
Dom ur vids r the best for the simple fact of the simplicity and realty in them. U put so much perspective in them that I think ur the best youtuber in this category. This did will now be my fav vid about lebron ever. Keep up the amazing work, Keep it 100, and stay real
I can’t stand people who post 18 million comments on one video
I’m talking to you Zack Johnson
I really enjoy this who series brought me back to the old ESPN
Classic days
🏆👑 🐐
Your productions just get better by time, glad to be part of it. Awesome work. Keep it up.
Never clicked on a vid so fast in my life before!!!
I feel like Dom2k has the ability to just end any NBA debate in a video, genuinely some of the best content out there.
I hate when people say stats don't matter but use stats in a argument ... If stats don't matter they wouldn't be recorded
Fr gotta include everything for a GOAT talk
Stats matter but they can skew the truth, especially if you didn’t actually watch games
If we go by stats Jordan is the goat tho.
@@joshliggins2260 nah it would be Wilt, which is a prime example of why stats aren't everything
Wilt Stats lowered drastically after he got older..Jordan has the highest ppg average of all time
Really loved these!!! Thank you for these
Before 100 views club
I just have to say this series was beautiful. Thank u
LeBron has a great story, and he is one of the best players ever.
But he's not my GOAT, not yet, by far.
He had to win in 2011, 2014 and 2015, then the case would be open in my mind.
People just forgot (or simply dont know) what MJ, KAJ or B.Russel really did ,and discredit their success.
I also think it's purely generational.
sticky-fingers That's it. Plus the excessive excuse making he gets takes for losing takes him out for me
Dominique Robinson how is 2015 his fault? Facing a 67-15 team with the league mvp and averaged like 38/12/8 😂😂
@@connorsmith6517 I'm not saying that 2015 was his fault but that we can't make excuses for all his losses in the finals when we don't do it for greats like Magic or Wilt
@@bigdog9507 imo mj would never lost 2011 and 2014 finals.
And mj haters say that 91 Lakers team was old 😂🤣
Love this series, keep it up Dom2k!!!
Lol Jordan didn’t have 40 points finals elimination games because he never trailed in the finals. He did have consecutive 40 points games in the finals tho and I’m prettt sure 3 in a row in the early 90s
In 93 jordan averaged 40ppg and 11apg.
Well it makes sense since no other team in the league at the time was as stacked as the bulls which also paired with one of the GOAT coaches. Back then most teams only had 1 all-star in their prime while Bulls had 2 in the 1st 3-peat. Then in the 2nd 3-peat Bulls had 3 all-stars and a very good bench while most other teams only had 1 or 2 max. They were like The GSW of 90s so let's not get over ourselves (obviously Jordan was the significant reason for their dominance but it wasn't just him, his team was great).
Lakers had magic and worthy. Blazers had drexler and porter. Suns had barkley and KJ. Bulls were not the most stacked team of that era. The blazers and suns, for example, had more talented players. The suns had 6 players that had been all stars at that point. Bulls only had 3, and one of them was old bill cartwright, who made the all star team back in 1980. Learn something and stop believing the narrative created by other MJ haters.
Jordan aceraged41 ppg in 93' finals. Still the record to this day.
Evan Fabio wrong. The only time the Bulls were stacked was in 96 (72 win bulls team). In no other season were the Bulls completely dominant. Also, many other teams were stacked, and waybetter than the Bulls. Showtime Lakers for instance. The 96 Sonics had like 5 3 pt specialists + Gary Payton (one of the greatest point guards) and Shawn Kemp, one of the greatest wingmen ever. That last team is the one that commentators, analysts, nba legends, and players of that time actually compare with the warrios of today as well as with Orlando Magic of 95' abd of 96'. Michael himself one said right after beating the knichs in the 96' east semis: "with Orlando is going to be really tough. They have players who can score from any area of the court, and possibly put up 30-40 points on any given night." Therefore they were waaay more talented than the 96' Bulls. Interesting that the Bulls ended up sweeping them! Also, The Utah Jazz, while not having as many shooters as Seattle or Orlando, did have like 3 deadly 3pt shooters, + John Stockton (one of the greatest point guards ever), and Karl Malone (an earlier version of Lebron in terms of physicality, Offense, and rebounding). The Blazers had Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter. Both Shooters, and Porters was deadly during that time as a playmaker and 3pt shooter. The 93' Suns were the least effective against the Bulls, and still they had like 4 shooters as well. The 93' Bulls struggled all yr, Michael was beung investigated by the law as well as the NBA for the gambling issue, the team Chemistry was suffering a lot, and they had 2 players that were going to retire that summer, yet the Bulls won all games played in Phoenix. Interesting. Another thing is that the Bulls NEVER had a good center, yet they dominated the paint and the outside as well. So no, the Bulls were the most stacked team only once, and they faced off two other completely and in one case even better stacked team that yr, and almost swept both. Every other yr the Bulls had to fight for everything. And while the game has gotten more loose and athletic, the defense today is almost absent, before a certain point in the playoffs every yr. Therefore, the only teams that really merit comparison to any Bulls team are the current Golden State Warriors (as stacked as they are 'cause they'd need all that talent to win any amount of games in a series against the Bulls), + teams of the 80's, particularly, the 86' Celtics, which in my opinion, and that of many eho have watched Bball for decades, are the best team ever - better than the 96 Bulls, and the 2016 Warriors.
Absolutely epic 4 part mini series , loved it
MJ is the goat in my opinion
yaboii swagger how? It’s is not a fact.
Jordan took breaks in between seasons.
@yaboii swagger I'm getting tired of this crap. why can't somebody just give some level of praise to Lebron without being called a bronsexual. The world does not revolve around him so not everyone is a hater or a dickerider. What happened to nba fans. We can't even have proper debates without people like you saying stupid things like this.
@yaboii swagger ok I'm not wasting my time with this.
AKay Chill bro, the lil kid has a profile pic of roblox. He doesn't know what an opinion is, and doesn't know how to use logic either. don't put such heavy expectations on his feather weight brain.
this series is lit especially that ending
People do to next:
Duncan
Wilt
Jordan (might be too long)
Jordan part 1: Rookie season only.
Part 2: season two injury and comming back to battle with management to olay the right minutes, the playoffs, playoff single game scoring record, and battle during off season to be able to play wherever ("love of the game clause").
Part 3: 37.1 ppg in 87', best stats ever in 5 categories put together - led led 88' Bulls in all of them (rebounds, assists, points, stealsb blks), + AllStar game and regular season MVP honors.
Part 3: 89' - 91' "Journey to the first in which he helped the Bulls beat the Showtime Lakers".
Part 4: back to back + "The Shrug" while becoming a proto-Steven Curry in the first 24 mins of the 92' finals. Three-peat amidst illegal gambling accusations, subpoenas from people that accused him of not paying gambling debts, maintaing his team united amidst a severe drop in chemistry.
Part 5: 95' and 96' - Comeback, double nickle in MSG - out of shape and in only his 5th game back. 20 yr standing regular season team winning record and all posible 1996 mvp honors, 4th championship in 96'.
Part 6: 1997 reapeat of 96' type domination + endurance against fellow Dream Team teammates.
Part 7, part 8, part 9: The Last Dance, beating the Jazz in game 6 while Pippen out half of that game with an injured back, Rodman with an injured tumb and not able to rebound as well, fatigued, and injured right index finger affecting his overall shooting. 3parts here because of all the drama, and basically the shit he and the Bulls had to go through that yr.
I tried summarising. But yeah, kinda too long I guess.
Favourite UA-cam series ever
The only great player that had so many haters that I don't know why..
Christian Roy Lammawin his fans
What great player doesn’t have haters?
Christian Roy Lammawin
Why he has so many “haters”? You can blame Nick Wright, Colin Cowherd, Shannon Sharpe, Brian Windhorst, Max Kellerman, Rachel Nichols, Mike Greenberg, and all the millions of LeBron fanboys that actually eat their bullshit.
Jordan has haters Kobe has haters everyone has haters so I don’t know why your trying to make Lebron seem like a victim
maybe because right now the media own everything? I bet that if Magic, MJ, Wilt and many others were playing nowadays, they would have been criticized more. Also when you have that body, skills you should have been a Wilt 2.0
This has to be in my top 5 Dom2k vids of all time. Good work man
2016 wasn’t “overcoming adversity”...it was a tough series but no way in hell was it this mission impossible kind of task.
Their 6th man was literally a walking mummy and still tried to guard LeBron, their starting center blew his knee out, and Green was suspended in a pivotal game. And I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but during and after the Thunder series; Curry didn’t look the same. He looked like he never really recovered from that injury he was recovering from before the Portland series. (You could clearly tell by his jump shot. It didn’t look the same.)
I’m just playing devils (non-biased) advocate here. If LeBron gets an excuse for 2015, that means the Warriors get an asterisk for that chip.
So using the same logic; if the Warriors clearly weren’t 100% in 2016, why don’t they get even a slight bit of a pass? So many things had to happen in order for this “amazing comeback” to happen, and that’s just facts 🤷🏻♂️
Everything had to go in the Cavs favour for them to win that series. League intervention taking Green out the elimination game, loss of their rim protection which now gave LeBron free range in the post, and Iggy battling back issues.
suntansuperman26 Iggy was out there holding his back with one hand and contesting LeBron with the other. All while the media going crazy “Oh my god LeBron taking it to the hole with Iggy guarding him!”
Gimme a break lmao
You did a great job with this series, I hope you keep the format for other ‘cases for GOAT’ videos, makes the stories feel far grander with the details put in.
Anyway, keep up the great work
Lebrons team let him down in 15
I love this series.
I feel like Dom knows LBJ is the GOAT, but he feels the need to please his audience and say MJ is
Great career retrospective! I'd love to see you go into Jordan's career with the same level of detail, even with how much has already been said it'd be cool to have your take.
Let's correct something... in 2016... a healthy Cavs team faced a crippled Warriors team and not the "best team" of all time, as Curry the unanimous MVP was playing hurt, Iggy Lebrons main defender was also hurt and having back spasms, Boggot was out, the rim protector to spot easy layups and dunks from Lebron was hurt, and Draymon was out 1 game. So please stop over glorifying the 2016 finals as a case for Lebron to be the goat. yes all titles are not created equal, and a fully loaded cavs team beating a crippled Warriors is worth less then any of the Heat rings. He had a stacked team with 2 other allstars facing another team with 3 allstars, where the other team had a lot of hurt players. In 2015 everyone excuses him losing because his team was hurt, in 2016 everyone ignores the Warriors were hurt and treat it like he beat them at full strength. Hypocrisy.
in 2017 everyone was healthy, and the Warriors won
@@felixmartinez9673 and they didn't swept the cavs cause the warriors wanted to celebrate at home.
@@felixmartinez9673 then why did they sweep them this year
Yeah, Smh these *Bronsexuals* or Lebron stans must be having selective amnesia.
But i like Lebron though, i just hate his delusional Fans.
"They didn't sweep the Cavs cause the Warriors wanted to celebrate at home" LMAO yeah I can tell you're not biased at all...(sarcasm)
This was a great video. Maybe the best lebron one ever seen. Great series!! Looking forward to the next partttt
Part 5: he's 3 and 6
Brandon Worthing Ur not Zach Johnson but I’m still gonna give u this L
Brandon Worthing exactly!
imo these were some of the best vids you've made dom. thank you so much for the amazing content.
lets be honest lebron woulda have 6 rings if it wasn't for curry and lebron would have been considered the GOAT. thats say something. NO CAP
you're faulting competition on why LeBron isn't the GOAT? thats a fucking stupid argument lol
"But he didn't win 6 so he isn't the GOAT " is what you're trying to say? Because you're right lol
@@Matt-os2zn lebron could have won in 2017. He had love and kyrie. Houston with only 2 stars almost beat them. The cavs had the best player in the world, 2nd best pg and love
Curry without KD is better than Lebron
LeBron is the only star that gets away with having multiple all-stars and still "needs more help". If he weren't in the Eastern conference, he wouldn't even have this many rings in the first place. We can talk about hypotheticals all day. Wilt "would" have 6 rings if he didn't lose four final game 7s by a total margin of 9 points! MJ wouldn't have 6 rings if he didn't have the most stacked defensive team in the 90s and there weren't illegal defense rules.
But in the end, it doesn't matter. Everyone has different variety of luck. Rings don't indicate skill, they indicate luck.
