Once Lebron is gone out the league, the world is gone realize we literally was watching history from him and some people didn’t have the time to even appreciate him for it.
It's crazy how puny spectators argue that LeBron, is cocky, prideful, and even trash while real NBA players will flat out say that he's the greatest in our generation.
I'm not a LeBron fan at all! Kobe for me all day! Not a Jordan fan either. But if ANYONE says LeBron is trash, they're just trolling. He is the best all around basketball player or even athlete in history. And I can't stand him!
@@nickbrooks2408 Same here, I grow up watching Bron, He's that idol that made me loved basketball and despite all the hate he's getting, I'll follow his career all day. That being said, I hate people who just spout utter nonsense and hatred about other players, people would slander MJ's name, Calling Kobe overrated, make fun of Curry and calling him out of being not a top 10. I get it, we all have different opinions but those kind of opinions are the ones to keep to themselves. I mean, those players are remarkable in their own, given us all the entertainment and joy we all need, made us fall in love into basketball. Give them credit for all they've done. And I agree on what you've said, those who call players are trolls who themselves are just being petty.
@@lilrayallen13 at 5:55 , Shumpert says "Mike says idgaf what happens, I'm shooting this shot" , while he says that LeBron says "I'm gonna get to this spot and shoot, but if any one of them is flinching off of their man I'm beeming it to that man". We have LITERAL VIDEO EVIDENCE of the very opposite of this happening. There is video of MJ and Steve Kerr sitting on the bench and MJ does not say "I'm shooting this shot IDGAF what happens". What actually happened is Steve Kerr told MJ that if his guy comes off he'll be ready to hit the shot. And that's exactly what happened in the game, Kerr's defender came off, MJ passed him the ball, and Kerr hit the game winning shot. While on the other hand, after game 4 of the 2015 second round playoffs against the Bulls, there is video of LeBron James claiming that he changed the original play that his coach drew up, and he DEMANDED that he get the ball for the final shot no matter what happens. So in reality, it is actually LeBron James who says "idgaf what happens I'm shooting the shot" while we have evidence ON VIDEO of Jordan actually being the one who goes "if your man flinches, I'm gonna beem the ball to my teammate for the shot"
@@whodat787 bro that’s not true. You’re saying that like it’s spoken fact. We have evidence of both from both players.

He is a basketball savant. He is the evolution of basketball. He's a mixture of many of the greats. He has Magic's playmaking, Isiah's passing, Larry's shooting, Jordan's athleticism, Penny's court vision, and plays defense as intelligently and as fierce as Rodman and Artest. He plays the game the right way and works the way champions work. I am not the biggest LeBron fan, but I appreciate what he puts into the game, how he plays the game, and what he does for the game. And, on top of that, he's a quality human being. I will never understand the hate this man receives. Yes, his free throw percentage could use work, but I feel like that's God's way of making it somewhat fair for the rest of the league. Also not sure why the comparison to Jordan when they were two completely different players and LeBron's game has always mirrored Magic and Penny. When its all said and done, he will go down as one of the greatest to ever play. Salute. Thanks, Nick, for doing this video. Love the series!
He is hated first because he proclaimed himself as the best player in the world then lost that year. Second because he is being compared to Jordan. He is definitely one of the greats though. Third is because he is being called the goat. Every era has its greats but to be considered the goat, I believe that with all that talent and basketball IQ you have to win the big show. Only one player is undefeated in the big show. Being "the king" you need the crown. As good as he is, the will to win is something that is lacking. He is going to break all types of personal records though.
Lol wow.... Ok first of all, saying that he has Magic's playmaking, Isiah's passing, and Penny's court vision is all redundant. I know that you were trying to make your list of players that you were comparing him to longer, but those 3 things are basically the same thing lol. Second, he DOES NOT play defense as fiercely as Dennis Rodman. Defense and rebounding was basically all Rodman could do, and he was so great at it that he won 2 DPOYs and got into the Hall of Fame based on defense alone. We literally have video evidence of LeBron James' lackluster defense the past few years. Third, it's like @Brian Joyner said above me, the reason he is hated is because he has proclaimed himself the "best player in the world" MULTIPLE TIMES on camera. Not only that, but he has also tried to proclaim himself the "Greatest of all time" which he is not. I have NEVER heard Michael Jordan call himself the "Greatest of all time", even tho he is. That is also the reason why he gets compared to MJ. Don't proclaim yourself to be the "GOAT" if you do not want to be compared to the true "GOAT". A LOT of the hate LeBron James receives he brings it on himself
@@brianjoyner3340 "the will to win is something that is lacking" Wow I could not come up with a more ignorant and incorrect way to define LeBron if I tried. It's almost as if you ignored the fact that he's willed his team to 8 consecutive finals (10 total) and 4 championships in the modern era where players & teams are, quite frankly, better. You don't get compared to Jordan (or vice versa) if you're "will to win is something that is lacking"
@@theanonymouslegion4811 nothing ignorant about it. The mindset of this era is not the same. Playing with and building a winning team and executing your objectives are different in today's game. Everyone ego too high. It's about money more than competition. These players rather play with each other opposed to against each other. Really there are only similarities because they play the same sport. But there is no real comparison. Different era different reasons for the game. Excuses. It's a selfish league nowadays. It's not ignorant it's observation. But instead of name calling you should be comfortable with a disagreement without insults. Isn't the game about winning. 4 for 10 not bad. But if we "compare" then it's about attempts instead of makes. 100% better than 40%. This generation ok with attempts. You work hard to get it than you take it and let them figure out how to take it back. This generation ok with just trying and put excuses where harder work should be.
@@brianjoyner3340 I’ll never understand the criticism for LeBron and his finals losses. It doesn’t make sense because by the logic of that argument, 4-0 is better than 4-6. When we talk about finals losses, we ignore the losses that have happened prior to making the finals. Jordan has made it to the finals six times and has won all six times, but what about the times he lost before the finals? Basically what I’m trying to say is with that criticism, it’s as if it’s better to lose before the finals than during the finals which makes no sense. Maybe I’m missing something, if so, help me understand.
@@whodat787 Not my comment, but I agree so I'll give you MY opinion. Avg's 7+ assists for his career at the 3/SF/Point Forward Position.

i don’t know why people hate this man so much. he really is so similar to jordan and people hate to see the comparison. but when you look at stats and look at footage of this man, you cannot deny he is among the greatest to ever do it. day in and day out he’s constantly working on his game and getting better at things he’s already great at. the fact of the matter is, he’s a generational talent. people say he doesn’t have the same mentality as jordan and i can agree. but that doesn’t mean lebron thinks any less of the game then jordan did. lebron comes to the game with the power to be able to make everyone play better while playing some of the best basketball you’ve ever seen. that’s never really been done before until just recent years. and jordan never really focused on those two things at once. just saying the way he can get others involved and play at the elite level he does has never happened before and i think once he’s done, we’ll truly be able to tell how great he was
Everyone thinks you have to have Jordans mentality which to be clear i love in sports. But guys like jordan and kobe are fueled by insecurity. Lebron is fuel by confidence and tries to infuse that in others. But when his teammates let him down people think he throws them under the bus. But whats the halfway between jordans mean nature and Magics encouragement? Passive aggression. So even lebrons way of handling disappointment is a cross between those two
As a huge Jordan fan and Stan, I'll tell you this, you can't compare Jordan to LeBron when it comes to hate. I can understand why people hate Jordan. Jordan wasn't the greatest person to be around. LeBron on the other hand is probably the cleanest and most conscientious athlete to come around since Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. LeBron helps the poor, his community, opens schools and is just generally a good dude. I don't understand the hate at all. Jordan in the other hand is all about himself, never political, and no one has anything good to say about the man.
@@martisebrown7088 exactly he just states the obvious AND said "blend it with skill"...now when Harden said about Giannis that "being 7-ft and dunking takes no skill"...THAT was a pure shade.
There’s a running theme here… Lebron’s intelligence. He’s not only one of the greatest and best players ever, but he is the SMARTEST player ever. Period.

@@miyagifatghost2684 to you and alot of ppl but the same can be said about lebron although neither is mine...the point is while alot of ppl had him goated he had alot of haters until he passed then they gave him the respect he deserved
I’ve always intrinsically known that LeBron was petty on the court just like Kobe and MJ… but man, that sequence was planned so poetically and ruthlessly, smfh lmao
HE is great the goat in our generation he can do everything on the court the best way to describe him is that he is the greatest complete player ever in the NBA history. He can play in every position effectively and have all the skills strength and all the things you need to play basketball. We are not in others generations but I have never seen a guy like him in the NBA history maybe JORDAN can do too if he was in our generations but we don't know that cause the deep threes and the way the game evolve into this because of Stephen Curry long range threes and shooting skills he have the way they play today is almost different but not much and this is where we see that Lebron greatness even in this age and years he have been through his skills never drop or lower down he is still standing tall he always have a way to increase his skills in his carrier and become better and better even the deep threes he can master that too look at him right now he is getting better in shooting from deep and all the other skills needed to play the game of NBA he have it all with powerful force and strength along with IQ and skills everything he have it all maybe a little different behaviour then Jordan the way they treat the trash talking's and lower in championships cause our generations is in a whole different era, he is great and perfect for the NBA.
I loved Klay's "you better dunk it!" story. I hadn't heard that one before. "I flushed that thing. I didn't wana see the ball go to half court!" Lmfao 😂😂
bro all of these compilations really make me appreciate some of the players i grew up with. shoutsout to you nick you keep getting better and better with each comp
its literally a 4 play stretch. Its how quick and articulate that was impressive. If you have a photographic memory than dknt make it seem like his memory is even better. Lbj doesnt have a ohot memory. My memory is golden and far from photographic
Bron doesn't even know the motivation he's given to people outside of the game, it always feels like he's the anchor for his team and his fans. He's more than a legend for me.
@@Christappedin 😂 ain't got nothing to do with the media guy. If anything the media tries to boost up LeBron more than they should. They talk about him every single day. Nah, LeBron James is not the greatest basketball player of all time. And anyone who knows basketball and isn't a biased fanboy knows that's the truth
@@whodat787 nah u wrong media bashes bron all on twitter, bron iq alone snd the fact he can guard all 5 positions put him above jordan plus many other things like him playing in a WAYYY MORE SKILLED ERA, their wasn’t a 7ft demi god or baby faces assassin in 90s wake up my guy case closed
@@Christappedin 😭😭 exactly like I said, anybody who IS NOT a biased fanboy like you clearly are knows that LeBron James IS NOT the "GOAT". The media also hypes up LeBron like crazy all on Twitter, and all on the internet, and all over TV. Do you just close your eyes whenever you see people hyping up LeBron and that's why you think he only gets hate? Nice strawman 👍🤣🤣 And I'm sick and tired of this LIE about LeBron being able to guard all positions. If that were true, then why didn't LeBron take it upon himself to guard Dirk in the 2011 finals so that his superteam wouldn't get embarrassed the way they did?? And why couldn't LeBron stop Roy Hibbert in the 2013 ECF when Hibbert turned into Hakeem Olajuwon and was cooking that ENTIRE Miami Heat team?? Guarding all positions and guarding all positions WELL are two different things. He can guard all positions the same way that Steph Curry can guard all positions, which is NOT well. And who is the 7 footer you are referring to as being so great? Because I have NO IDEA who it is in this era that you are trying to hype up like that. NOBODY in this era is as GREAT as the 7 footers MJ went up against back in the 90s kid. Shaq, Hakeem Olajuwon, and David Robinson ALL are better than ANY 7 footer that is playing in today's small ball era 😂. And I assume you are referring to Stephen Curry as the "baby faced assassin"? 🤣🤣🤣 kid, MJ would DESTROY Steph Curry if he played him in his prime. How has Steph been doing these past couple years when he didn't have his superteams?? Oh that's right, NO PLAYOFF APPEARANCES!! So don't try to hype up the players in this era to try to make your daddy Bron seem greater than he actually is. You're the one who is asleep kid, and you have no case because I just destroyed it 💯
Imagine how, as a coach… not a player but as a coach, how demoralizing it would feel to look over to the opponents best player and see him calling out your plays, your rotations etc. Like wtf do you do! You’re not a player, you can’t go out there and change things on the fly, you just have to watch as he tells your team which of your plays they forgot, all so he can counter it with a better play himself. That’s wild
I grew up watching Jordan. He was the Man of my young generation. I have also lived to witness Lebron's career. He is, in my opinion the GOAT. Not only of his generation, but in the history of the NBA. I will add, "thus far". He has done "greatness" his own way. He didn't pattern his game style like Jordan, as Kobe did. LeBron is an all-round, multifaceted player/athlete. Bigger men have achieved less, smaller men haven't achieved the little that he has. Jmo
Great players are always in awe of other great players, I love it. Steph says that about Lebron and Lebron says the same about him, "same way you stop me, YOU CAN'T."
Not gonna lie, when Bron retires I’m gonna be so thankful for channels like this who dedicate time to pull all the stories and crazy moments from great players like him, and show it to the world. It definitely makes me see the players a little differently then just how they played on the court
Fucking awesome dude. So glad you started doing these. So many clips I hadn't seen. Glad you still put the darozen clip in even though you tons of people had that little voice go, uh this one. Then oh shit nice he ended it quick (for those who haven't heard it 1000 times). And he added the clip of guy who calls out that player name. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
Merry Christmas! Thanks for dropping this vid on us, Santa Nick, it's really amazing. I already know that i will be watching these LeBron vids over and over again. Keep up the good work, man.
idk if this would ever be a story but i remember him saving Norman Powell(i think) from leaving the court because he thought he was subbed out. Lebron snagged his jersey and brought him back in and thats always been funny to me
I remember when i was in grade school, I was watching basketball with no knowledge about the rules, i used to think that scoring or shooting is everything in basketball but when I saw lebron played for the first time, i realized that i was so naive about the game that i used to watch. Bron made me fall inlove with the game of basketball, and he made me realized and understood the real principle of basketball and why this game was created. He indirectly and unknowingly taught me how it is being played by just showing it. And if someone can teach you something without saying anything, just by actions then that someone is no ordinary person..
This my first time on this channel… this might be the best video on LeBron on UA-cam I’ve seen so far… like.. even better then Jxmmy Hxghroller.. Congrats.. sub.
Bro your videos reminded of something and I couldn't wrap my mind around it but after giving it thought... I think why your content is so unique and appreciated is because aside from it taking your time and dedication and the work speaking for itself. It reminds me of Family Guy, after bro puts someone's reply he would then show us the video or cut scene of what it is
The best part about NBA players are the myths and urban legends. The stuff we don't hear about or see publicly. All legends have them, it adds to the mystique. I'm sure Lebron has them too.
When people stop talking about GOAT conversations and arguing about this and that, Lebron has one of the greatest body of work and careers. Going to finish with the most points, win 4 championships on 3 different teams, just amazing. He can't claim GOAT, but he's definitely GOTE, greatest of this era.
My depiction of Lebron is He is the type of player that we’ll put faith in his teammates but we’ll do it his self if he needs to to win not matter what
🤦🏿♂️ ok, these comments are getting ridiculous now. The 2011 NBA finals, was that him putting faith in his teammates? Or was that him "doing it himself no matter what"? Because he definitely needed to win that, and failed 🤣🤣. Dang man, it's like I know more about LeBron James than his own fanboys do 🤦🏿♂️💀
@@whodat787 Him putting his faith in his teammates. Mavs ran a zone the entire series and forced his teammates to make jump shots. Heat didn't have shooters. Teams tried that after and it didn't work because the Heat had shooters. Stop being a casual.

What LeBron haters don't realise is that even while hating on him, they are ironically putting him in the conversation, and that's exactly what he wants. To be honest he ain't even mad about it. He is relevant and will be as long as the Jordan-LeBron debate goes on. It's genius if you ask me.

Everyone thinks you have to have Jordans mentality which to be clear i love in sports. But guys like jordan and kobe are fueled by insecurity. Lebron is fuel by confidence and tries to infuse that in others. But when his teammates let him down people think he throws them under the bus. But whats the halfway between jordans mean nature and Magics encouragement? Passive aggression. So even lebrons way of handling disappointment is a cross between those two
@@prilljazzatlanta5070 I'm believe Lebron is the GOAT for sure, ever since 2016, but even I never looked at it this way and you're 100% correct
To hate a man you never meet like he slept with your wife is crazy 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a huge Jordan fan and Stan, I'll tell you this, you can't compare Jordan to LeBron when it comes to hate. I can understand why people hate Jordan. Jordan wasn't the greatest person to be around. LeBron on the other hand is probably the cleanest and most conscientious athlete to come around since Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. LeBron helps the poor, his community, opens schools and is just generally a good dude. I don't understand the hate at all. Jordan in the other hand is all about himself, never political, and no one has anything good to say about the man.
Love Klay’s backhanded compliment, closing it off with “we have to do it with skill.” He’ll probably never get over the 2016 finals.
He also said “those dudes blend it with skill and power” but it was prolly still another backhanded compliment 😂
Nah if you listened to the whole thing, He was comparing it to Jordan about how him and Bron blended power WITH skill.
They’ll never get over 2016, because when everybody was healthy, they folded
@@martisebrown7088 exactly he just states the obvious AND said "blend it with skill"...now when Harden said about Giannis that "being 7-ft and dunking takes no skill"...THAT was a pure shade.
@@ao1461 but they weren’t healthy…
There’s a running theme here… Lebron’s intelligence. He’s not only one of the greatest and best players ever, but he is the SMARTEST player ever. Period.
Nah Scotty pippen is the smartest according to Hall of famers
@@nopenever8549 Scotty didn’t win anything without Jordan
@@Yael_D_ Neither did Jordan without Scotty. You should watch the John Sally video on Vladtv, don't take my word on it. I'm just an old man from the basketball capital of the world.
@@nopenever8549 Jordan could 100% have won chips without Scotty but not the other way around. Jordan just likes to give him his credit so he won’t bitch so much
Nah this is just crap talk there is no evidence of that in fact its the opposite his intelligence is low but his athleticism is high
The cut scene of Lebron jumping in the water when Carmelo was telling his story had me weak 😂😂😂

that shit was perfect 😂
I came specifically for this comment alone 😂😂😂😂😂

the slow motion killed me

Bron will be like bean...some ppl unfortunately won't give him his full credit until he's gone 💯...R.I.P. Kobe
I never appreciated kobe until his farewell tour. His last game literally gave me chills. I never rooted for kobe so much before. It was a sad day when he left us.

Bron so intelligent and understands the game so well he really a student of the game. Which is why he still making it look easy at almost 37

Never heard the Damon Jones story before. That is truly next level.
For real. That's wild
Me either! I've never seen LeBron walk up to a player when the game is on the line and mentally screw that player up.
I’ve always intrinsically known that LeBron was petty on the court just like Kobe and MJ… but man, that sequence was planned so poetically and ruthlessly, smfh lmao
I'm glad you got to here it. That game and story is legendary in Cleveland fr
And big props to Gil for admitting that. He is one of my favorite people ever.
People really don’t realise how great this man is.
That stare he does at the Boston’s bench. Still give me chills
If LeBron ever becomes a coach, it's gonna be a scary sight.
Owner
Ye if u a billionaire u have to own a team
I can see him owning but also being involved in basketball operations. It only makes sense given what he is to the game.
COACH, That's Next Level and Beyond, GREATNESS!👌
Bron saving Melo story with that music and addtional clips is hilarious😂🔥🔥
😂😂😂
Haha
Bro the music and story made him look like god 😂🔥 i love it
hes deadass a superhero lmao
LMFAOOOO bro they were all gunna let melo die except bron
HE is great the goat in our generation he can do everything on the court the best way to describe him is that he is the greatest complete player ever in the NBA history. He can play in every position effectively and have all the skills strength and all the things you need to play basketball. We are not in others generations but I have never seen a guy like him in the NBA history maybe JORDAN can do too if he was in our generations but we don't know that cause the deep threes and the way the game evolve into this because of Stephen Curry long range threes and shooting skills he have the way they play today is almost different but not much and this is where we see that Lebron greatness even in this age and years he have been through his skills never drop or lower down he is still standing tall he always have a way to increase his skills in his carrier and become better and better even the deep threes he can master that too look at him right now he is getting better in shooting from deep and all the other skills needed to play the game of NBA he have it all with powerful force and strength along with IQ and skills everything he have it all maybe a little different behaviour then Jordan the way they treat the trash talking's and lower in championships cause our generations is in a whole different era, he is great and perfect for the NBA.

bro all of these compilations really make me appreciate some of the players i grew up with. shoutsout to you nick you keep getting better and better with each comp
Appreciate that
These videos are important to the legacy of LeBron 💯 Thank you for putting this together
Don't worry there will be plenty more coming over the years
Absolutely!! Ballers know.
Shumbert story telling skills are unbelievable

Not gonna lie, I have photographic memory, but his is out of this world. When he recounted 3-4 possessions in a row like he was watching it 🤯🤯🤯
its literally a 4 play stretch. Its how quick and articulate that was impressive. If you have a photographic memory than dknt make it seem like his memory is even better. Lbj doesnt have a ohot memory. My memory is golden and far from photographic
@@kungfufemafam9216 💪🏿💪🏿
Bron doesn't even know the motivation he's given to people outside of the game, it always feels like he's the anchor for his team and his fans. He's more than a legend for me.
This compilation just made me put LeBron over Jordan
And this was a sensitive argument for I am obsessed with Jordan and his
Era!
Lol congratulations, you just told everybody how easy you are to persuade 😂👍
@@whodat787 nah he just seen what the media try’s to hide they always try and diminish bron, soon y’all will wake up that bron is the goat
@@Christappedin 😂 ain't got nothing to do with the media guy. If anything the media tries to boost up LeBron more than they should. They talk about him every single day.
Nah, LeBron James is not the greatest basketball player of all time. And anyone who knows basketball and isn't a biased fanboy knows that's the truth
@@whodat787 nah u wrong media bashes bron all on twitter, bron iq alone snd the fact he can guard all 5 positions put him above jordan plus many other things like him playing in a WAYYY MORE SKILLED ERA, their wasn’t a 7ft demi god or baby faces assassin in 90s wake up my guy case closed
@@Christappedin 😭😭 exactly like I said, anybody who IS NOT a biased fanboy like you clearly are knows that LeBron James IS NOT the "GOAT".
The media also hypes up LeBron like crazy all on Twitter, and all on the internet, and all over TV. Do you just close your eyes whenever you see people hyping up LeBron and that's why you think he only gets hate? Nice strawman 👍🤣🤣
And I'm sick and tired of this LIE about LeBron being able to guard all positions. If that were true, then why didn't LeBron take it upon himself to guard Dirk in the 2011 finals so that his superteam wouldn't get embarrassed the way they did?? And why couldn't LeBron stop Roy Hibbert in the 2013 ECF when Hibbert turned into Hakeem Olajuwon and was cooking that ENTIRE Miami Heat team?? Guarding all positions and guarding all positions WELL are two different things. He can guard all positions the same way that Steph Curry can guard all positions, which is NOT well.
And who is the 7 footer you are referring to as being so great? Because I have NO IDEA who it is in this era that you are trying to hype up like that. NOBODY in this era is as GREAT as the 7 footers MJ went up against back in the 90s kid. Shaq, Hakeem Olajuwon, and David Robinson ALL are better than ANY 7 footer that is playing in today's small ball era 😂.
And I assume you are referring to Stephen Curry as the "baby faced assassin"? 🤣🤣🤣 kid, MJ would DESTROY Steph Curry if he played him in his prime. How has Steph been doing these past couple years when he didn't have his superteams?? Oh that's right, NO PLAYOFF APPEARANCES!! So don't try to hype up the players in this era to try to make your daddy Bron seem greater than he actually is.
You're the one who is asleep kid, and you have no case because I just destroyed it 💯
Imagine how, as a coach… not a player but as a coach, how demoralizing it would feel to look over to the opponents best player and see him calling out your plays, your rotations etc. Like wtf do you do! You’re not a player, you can’t go out there and change things on the fly, you just have to watch as he tells your team which of your plays they forgot, all so he can counter it with a better play himself. That’s wild
I’ve been loving this series!! Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
I grew up watching Jordan. He was the Man of my young generation. I have also lived to witness Lebron's career. He is, in my opinion the GOAT. Not only of his generation, but in the history of the NBA. I will add, "thus far". He has done "greatness" his own way. He didn't pattern his game style like Jordan, as Kobe did. LeBron is an all-round, multifaceted player/athlete. Bigger men have achieved less, smaller men haven't achieved the little that he has. Jmo
Korver played with and against so many legendary players in his career.. i'm sure he's got a ton more stories and would hope he shares them more.
And Korver was like 10 years ahead of his time so all those dudes respected him.
I wish the Cavs would have won a Chip when he was on the team.

The best Christmas player drop on Christmas 🎄 gotta love it.
You're goddamn right
Goatly
Really do like the way you edit and splice the stories together so they all match up too
Great players are always in awe of other great players, I love it. Steph says that about Lebron and Lebron says the same about him, "same way you stop me, YOU CAN'T."
You're the GOAT for putting this together.
Not gonna lie, when Bron retires I’m gonna be so thankful for channels like this who dedicate time to pull all the stories and crazy moments from great players like him, and show it to the world. It definitely makes me see the players a little differently then just how they played on the court
I love D Wade's take on GOAT conversation.

Appreciate that man!
Catching a bounce and doing a turnaround jump shot on the sideline simultaneously is insane
Lebron should hire Shumpert as his personal spokesman 😭😭😭 the way he tells his stories is insane
So many legendary moments, and that last one is so cold !!! GOAT stuff

He’s been in so long it’s easy to
idk if this would ever be a story but i remember him saving Norman Powell(i think) from leaving the court because he thought he was subbed out. Lebron snagged his jersey and brought him back in and thats always been funny to me
what's Also funny is lebron walked to the bench before somebody checked in to the game one time

GREAT JOB!!!!
I remember when i was in grade school, I was watching basketball with no knowledge about the rules, i used to think that scoring or shooting is everything in basketball but when I saw lebron played for the first time, i realized that i was so naive about the game that i used to watch. Bron made me fall inlove with the game of basketball, and he made me realized and understood the real principle of basketball and why this game was created. He indirectly and unknowingly taught me how it is being played by just showing it. And if someone can teach you something without saying anything, just by actions then that someone is no ordinary person..
Really well put together videos. Should have more than 250k views rn
I was watching a shump interview and just found your channel and I love this shit hopefully you got some on MJ I’m bout to binge

Bro your videos reminded of something and I couldn't wrap my mind around it but after giving it thought... I think why your content is so unique and appreciated is because aside from it taking your time and dedication and the work speaking for itself. It reminds me of Family Guy, after bro puts someone's reply he would then show us the video or cut scene of what it is
The best part about NBA players are the myths and urban legends. The stuff we don't hear about or see publicly. All legends have them, it adds to the mystique. I'm sure Lebron has them too.
When people stop talking about GOAT conversations and arguing about this and that, Lebron has one of the greatest body of work and careers. Going to finish with the most points, win 4 championships on 3 different teams, just amazing. He can't claim GOAT, but he's definitely GOTE, greatest of this era.
He can claim 🐐
Liked, Subscribed and notification on. This was absolutely amazing. Thank you for your work

People don’t realize every time Lebron plays, he’s making history.
When it got to the Melo part I lost it 😄😂😂😂
My depiction of Lebron is He is the type of player that we’ll put faith in his teammates but we’ll do it his self if he needs to to win not matter what
🤦🏿♂️ ok, these comments are getting ridiculous now. The 2011 NBA finals, was that him putting faith in his teammates? Or was that him "doing it himself no matter what"? Because he definitely needed to win that, and failed 🤣🤣.

What LeBron haters don't realise is that even while hating on him, they are ironically putting him in the conversation, and that's exactly what he wants. To be honest he ain't even mad about it. He is relevant and will be as long as the Jordan-LeBron debate goes on. It's genius if you ask me.
