That goes for ALL athletes when pundits and anyone else making outside noise are wrong
Dont let Lebron's longevity work against him. He first decade plus he played all out on both ends of the floor hence the 6 all nba defensive teams. Watch his games first time with Cavs and every year with the Heat. Once he got older when other all time greats had stopped playing well or retired by their 14th, 15th season etc Lebron conserved energy to still remain a top 5, 10 player in the league!
@@jaydubb2005 Look at the rosters and tell me what player you could swap for Bron that would’ve done any better? First game against a team with 4 HoFs he drops 51 8 8. Did you want him to go 70 15 12? I seriously don’t understand the hate that some of y’all come with. He doesnt have to be your favorite player or even like him but if you love or even like basketball I can’t fathom how you can objectively hate

Now if this is 100% true for the past 7-8 years of his career look at what he’s done going mid during that time Lebron is my guy and as much as I want to call cap on this I remember that far often he looks like he’s just playing with his food!! Other then those big matchup games! It’s crazy when you hear Lebron haters talk with no real substance and then hear people that really knows what’s going on when it comes to Lebron!!! People need to really listen to what Gilbert is saying……..
This is 1000% very accurate. LeBron does seem like he's out there going 50% in a lot of games and just playing with his food taking awkward shots and trying new things within the realm of trying to win the game also. If he chose to go playoff mode all season long, his numbers would be WILD.
@@budlightcrew5463 well thats not even true🤣 westbrick only shot 3 3s a game last season, hell steph was missing 7 3s a game last season so please make that make sense??🤣
From 2012 - 2020, a nine-year after he lost to the Mavs, here are LeBron's averages during the regular season, playoffs, and finals: Regular season: 26.5 pts, 7.8 reb, 7.8 ast, 1.5 stl, 0.7 blk on 53% FG, 36% 3PT, and 72% FT. Playoffs: 29.2 pts, 9.4 reb, 7.3 ast, 1.7 stl, 0.9 blk on 52% FG, 34% 3PT, and 74% FT. Finals: 30.4 pts, 10.9 reb, 8.0 ast, 1.8 stl, 0.9 blk on 50% FG, 37% 3PT, and 74% FT. So yeah, Playoff LeBron is real.
@@jakeharrison207 nah every team he played against is all time great honestly. Even the Mavs. They swept Kobe’s Lakers that had just gone to the Finals 3 times straight
He just averaged 30ppg last season. That's at 37 years old. Now, there are still people who think he couldn't average 35ppg in his prime. I'm just like, okay. Nevermind the regular season, in his prime, he did this in the playoffs. It would be easier in the regular season right? Not harder. People really think the all-time scoring list has bad scorers on it though. Like, he's clearly at that level as a scorer and those are the facts. Prime LeBron today? He just gave you 30ppg at age 37. That's 40ppg in his prime. This isn't your 'hypothetical' Jordan talk. No like, that's proof. Hard evidence Bron could do that and we saw it this past season.
Just wait till the stories come out when he retires. The greatest ever. The biggest lie ever told in sports history is that: he’s not a killer, he’s not clutch, he can’t shoot, he’s not super skilled, his defense is iffy, etc…no one elevates the way he does.
If you use all of your bullets in the present war, you have nothing to fight with for future wars.. Bron realized early the secret to longevity. He mastered how to calculate his moves..

@@mikewang3586 let’s mention lebron played with 21 top 5 draft picks since 2010 and still lost 6 finals in that period. Superteam Miami lost to Dallas and Spurs and you jump to warriors lol??? Cavs had lebron, Kyrie and kevin love vs Steph and klay and Draymond? Sound pretty even to me. Lebron couldn’t beat warriors is not Jordan’s fault jordan was able to beat two hall of famers(the all time leader in assists in nba history and the player who won mvp in 97 the second Leading scorer in nba history) jordna beat those two in 6 games without multiple top 5 draft picks Lol keep coming with the excuses why lebron is 22-33 in the finals!
4:42 I’ve ALWAYS Said That! That Wizards Team Was WAAAAAY Better Than That Cleveland Team! To This Day, Lol I’ve Never Understood How They Lost To Cleveland. 🤣
That wizards team was mentally weak a 23 year old John wall or a 21 year old Beal their best players 🤣🤣🤣 they never won +50 Lmfao lmk when LeBron auctslly beats +60 win teams in route to a chip ILL WAIT 🤣🤣🤣
When I hear not playing hard, that usually revolves playing defense, especially team defense, rotating/helping, making the extra effort. Not sure that’s to be applauded, although the strategy is understood.
I agree 100% and in season 19 and all those minutes logged in, he still almost did it. What Gill is saying is, imagine a prime Lebron doing what he did last year with youth on this side. . . How do you stop him if his main objective was to score? You can't and you really wouldn't be able to.
its 2023 and Lebron is still the best and now is the final round be in the NBA finals and it was a mind blowing Lebron is build different 38yrs old damn! 🤯🤯🤯
I’ve been to 1500+ games live center court row 10 since 87-88 season tix + playoffs for Pacers and went to 10 games 85-86 & 86-87 too and some games in Chicago as cousins have season tix. The best players I’ve ever seen MJ LeBron tied Hakeem Bird tied Those 4 at their best imo are the illest since 84-85. Prime Magic Shaq Duncan KG Durant Kobe Giannas Curry Kawhi Wade Pippen Isiah Dirk prob after that but my top4 at their apex def MJ = LeBron followed by Hakeem = Bird!
The human body is a resource. Like it's detrimental to workout hard everyday, you gotta take easy days in the regular season especially as you grow older.
We can appreciate the greatest of Lebron without shitting on James Harden and Kobe. Kobe wanted to prove to the basketball world that he could win without shaq. James Harden wanted to lead his own team to a Championship. It's not stat padding to me, those guys including Lebron did what was necessary for their team to win.
He didn’t down them he was just saying they had a year where they brought out their bag for real and that they were unstoppable on a one on one level and LeBron has never did that except the small part of the playoff run But Gil has been saying this for years that Bron ain’t showed people what he is real capable of doing when he empty his bag out lol almost as if he just be sparring people
Watch one playoff game and you see why these dudes dont play hard in regular season. If they did they wouldn't last 30 games. I been realized that, thats why i stopped complaining about regular season play hard nonsense.
Gilbert he literally had a season where he basically went “yeah I ain’t winning a chip with this current roster I’m going for my stats” he averaged 30,6,6 and he’s chasing for Kareem’s record
And you have to put it into perspective that when Gilbert referred to harden and Kobe when they were in there peak, Lebron is past that and still gave 30,6,6
Nah, he was the only offensive option...not chasing a record...nobody else was scoring, that's the difference...he still hasn't had a season like that...lol
That record is gonna be broken whether he chases it or not , and if he was a stat padder dont you think he would have multiple seasons of averaging a triple double like westbrook? He most likely would average a triple double for a career if he cared about stats.
These playoffs comparison for goat status is moot. In the early career of Jordan when he got bounced and so forth. He played in an era where there were 5 game series. If LeBron had played during a 5 game series he would not have made some of those finals...let's think about that.
@@Christappedin did you watch the games, dude? Watched most of their games and Lebron was playing in games, even when they had already been decided so he could run up his scoring average and all time total points.
That’s why I like Michael Jordan so much and I believe he and Kobe are on another level they didn’t take games off no matter what!Its easy to have a long career when you don’t give it your all every play if I was his teammate hearing this would definitely upset me!
Put this into perspective… No disrespect to MJ or Kobe. LBJ is just as good if not better playing at 50% during regular season. During the playoffs at max effort stats show, individually , he’s better than both…
Who’s on another level? The player who gives his all every game to win or the player who’s on cruise mode and is still better than everyone else on the court while also winning? 😅
9 straight finals, that is a whole season. Jordan took two years off between two three peats. Easy to three peat again when you take years off based on your argument right ?
@You were Born stupid false MJ’s went up from ppg PER ETC and Lebron shoots 40% outside of the rim and basketball reference will reveal the bullshit efficiency of Lebron
No, no one forgets that. I hope you have a great almost 20 year career in your field of work and then your boss or coworkers say to you “do you remember those 3 years when you weren’t great” childish
@@mikecobb7236 Exactly and the man had to take a break as he even said it, he was worn down emotional as well as physically. Lebron has 11,000+ more minutes played than MJ. Saying MJ went 100 every game is a lie as well. I watched Wizards MJ rely simply on skill offensively with a few defense spurts here and there. . . He was absolutely a shell of himself athletically and barely could dunk the ball. Lebron is still very dominate and while he is declining, it isn't a drop like most players.
Ok but, LeBron was def stat chasing last year. Last year was like the most I've ever seen him get garbage time minutes. Especially like when the battle for scoring title became close between Giannis, Embiid, and himself. And I'm not saying that's wrong he deserves and should go after both the season scoring title and career total.
Idk man...stat chasing or was he the only legit option lol...also he sat out so he couldn't win the scoring title...kinda destroys yalls stat chasing theory
@@marquesekj Yea it doesn't make sense. There have been quite few games where the Lakers have been handedly blown-out, yet LeBron still in the game trying to get a 30+ piece. So why not be consistent and go for the scoring title instead of sitting out the last 2 games? Who cares if your eliminated from the play-in get that scoring title!
@@herschelpatel7115 except he sat out snd did not care about the scoring title he purposely get eliminated for that title so everything you said are just hearsays

@@notcoolkev3770 now let's mention the finals teams he has had to play 17 warriors >97,98 jazz, 96 sonics, 92 blazers, 93 suns , 91 lakers who was missing worthy for a game or two! Lmao all u do is spam his finals record in the comments u weirdo
@@mikewang3586 let’s mention lebron played with 21 top 5 draft picks since 2010 and still lost 6 finals in that period. Superteam Miami lost to Dallas and Spurs and you jump to warriors lol??? Cavs had lebron, Kyrie and kevin love vs Steph and klay and Draymond? Sound pretty even to me. Lebron couldn’t beat warriors is not Jordan’s fault jordan was able to beat two hall of famers(the all time leader in assists in nba history and the player who won mvp in 97 the second Leading scorer in nba history) jordna beat those two in 6 games without multiple top 5 draft picks Lol keep coming with the excuses why lebron is 22-33 in the finals!
@@notcoolkev3770 Kyrie and Love was hurt the first time they played in the finals also.
@@notcoolkev3770 hahahahha u have no idea what u are talking about
This is mind breaking 🔥🔥💯💯
I wish I could have seen him play
Work smart not harder !
Imagine if MJ and Bron is playing together. What could have been?
Great show
Gil was high af this episode 😤🤣😂
Yea those smiley faces on his jacket says it all. Lol.
4:42 I’ve ALWAYS Said That! That Wizards Team Was WAAAAAY Better Than That Cleveland Team! To This Day, Lol I’ve Never Understood How They Lost To Cleveland. 🤣
That's true 💯
Bron is why. Simple.
That wizards team was mentally weak a 23 year old John wall or a 21 year old Beal their best players 🤣🤣🤣 they never won +50 Lmfao lmk when LeBron auctslly beats +60 win teams in route to a chip ILL WAIT 🤣🤣🤣
Lol 3 years in a row what u confused about
The best team always wins
When I hear not playing hard, that usually revolves playing defense, especially team defense, rotating/helping, making the extra effort. Not sure that’s to be applauded, although the strategy is understood.
No star plays 100% all out every game of the regular season.
@@danielussat1071 They just hold Bron to a standard they don’t hold anyone else to even when he older
@@FireAngelChris absolutely
@@danielussat1071 So easy to see
That’s what I’m thinking. That’s why I said he had potential to be the goat but he doesn’t give it his all
I need that shirt Phil got on lol
Facts I’ve been searching the net
2018 Bron was just crazy I never see anything like it
Bron definitely said F everyone, imma get these numbers last season lol
Facts.
Yeah played zero defense he wanted that scoring title bad asf 😂
Shit can you blame him 😂
I agree 100% and in season 19 and all those minutes logged in, he still almost did it. What Gill is saying is, imagine a prime Lebron doing what he did last year with youth on this side. . . How do you stop him if his main objective was to score? You can't and you really wouldn't be able to.
I would say that but he chose not to play one more game to win the scoring title and the times they won really was when he put up big numbers.
Release the full EP fast fast 😅
its 2023 and Lebron is still the best and now is the final round be in the NBA finals and it was a mind blowing Lebron is build different 38yrs old damn! 🤯🤯🤯

Need the full one
I’ve been to 1500+ games live center court row 10 since 87-88 season tix + playoffs for Pacers and went to 10 games 85-86 & 86-87 too and some games in Chicago as cousins have season tix.
The best players I’ve ever seen
MJ LeBron tied
Hakeem Bird tied
Those 4 at their best imo are the illest since 84-85. Prime Magic Shaq Duncan KG Durant Kobe Giannas Curry Kawhi Wade Pippen Isiah Dirk prob after that but my top4 at their apex def MJ = LeBron followed by Hakeem = Bird!
embiid/harden vs lebron/jimmy reg season vs playoffs this is a proof
The human body is a resource. Like it's detrimental to workout hard everyday, you gotta take easy days in the regular season especially as you grow older.
Love nba stories
That playoffs series against the raptors and the Celtics made me a Lebron fan
That 2015 finals he lead both teams in every statistical category. Just think about that. Wtf
Duh! So LBJ is so good that his down year is like other players' career years.
1:03
Zero Dark 23 😤😤😤 that’s a tuff nickname for Playoff Lebron
We can appreciate the greatest of Lebron without shitting on James Harden and Kobe. Kobe wanted to prove to the basketball world that he could win without shaq. James Harden wanted to lead his own team to a Championship. It's not stat padding to me, those guys including Lebron did what was necessary for their team to win.
He didn’t down them he was just saying they had a year where they brought out their bag for real and that they were unstoppable on a one on one level and LeBron has never did that except the small part of the playoff run But Gil has been saying this for years that Bron ain’t showed people what he is real capable of doing when he empty his bag out lol almost as if he just be sparring people
Handy from Philly ?
Watch one playoff game and you see why these dudes dont play hard in regular season. If they did they wouldn't last 30 games. I been realized that, thats why i stopped complaining about regular season play hard nonsense.
You can hate LeBron all you want but you cant deny Zero Dark LeBron Playoff Mode.
Bron cruising during the regular season and still putting up historic numbers 😂😂
LeBron was on top of the mvp list season2021 and Lakers first in the league before he got injured by Solomon Hill!!!
What about his first year in LA with Lonzo and them? He had em as a top 4 team in the east before he got hurt.
@@LebronJames-h6i exactly! The Lakers had a large lead against the warriors in the 3rd quarter before LeBron injured his groin.
@@michaelleon6211 I remember that Christmas day. When he came back they were 9th in west. That's why he traded them bums.
what movie is this ?
Terminator 2
So what happen when u and him and that big conversation
Bron is just not the animal that a lot of people see him as. Period. He's just not.
Gilbert he literally had a season where he basically went “yeah I ain’t winning a chip with this current roster I’m going for my stats” he averaged 30,6,6 and he’s chasing for Kareem’s record
Nah, like they say, he could average 40 if he wanted to
And you have to put it into perspective that when Gilbert referred to harden and Kobe when they were in there peak, Lebron is past that and still gave 30,6,6
No he didn't, when LeBron was playing his best concerning statistics, he was making a push for the playoffs and started to have injuries.
Nah, he was the only offensive option...not chasing a record...nobody else was scoring, that's the difference...he still hasn't had a season like that...lol
That record is gonna be broken whether he chases it or not , and if he was a stat padder dont you think he would have multiple seasons of averaging a triple double like westbrook? He most likely would average a triple double for a career if he cared about stats.
Playoff LeBron bring u back down 3-1....
best finals i've ever witnessed
With help from the league…
@@jhad777 what help
@@jhad777 what help
LeBron is cool but that Kobe content fire
Wow. Kudos
These playoffs comparison for goat status is moot. In the early career of Jordan when he got bounced and so forth. He played in an era where there were 5 game series. If LeBron had played during a 5 game series he would not have made some of those finals...let's think about that.
🧢
Lebron did that last season, Gilbert! He played for stats last season. He was on the floor in garbage time just stat padding.
false he was the only one to put points on the board whole team damm near been injured
@@Christappedin did you watch the games, dude? Watched most of their games and Lebron was playing in games, even when they had already been decided so he could run up his scoring average and all time total points.
BUT if Lebron went into high gear in the regular season he probably wouldnt be that good in the playoffs especially if hes conserving himself 82 games
Did this come out b4 last year?
It wasn't exactly prime lebron but with AD injured and russ play terrible old Bron definitely put up buckets
I think Phil Handy was better off being the head coach for the cavs over Ty Lue & David Blatt
Not this guy again, he a friend to popular kids.
That’s why I like Michael Jordan so much and I believe he and Kobe are on another level they didn’t take games off no matter what!Its easy to have a long career when you don’t give it your all every play if I was his teammate hearing this would definitely upset me!
Put this into perspective… No disrespect to MJ or Kobe. LBJ is just as good if not better playing at 50% during regular season. During the playoffs at max effort stats show, individually , he’s better than both…
Who’s on another level? The player who gives his all every game to win or the player who’s on cruise mode and is still better than everyone else on the court while also winning? 😅
9 straight finals, that is a whole season.
Jordan took two years off between two three peats. Easy to three peat again when you take years off based on your argument right ?
Mike was zero dark 30 game 1 of the preseason
Yeah that’s why he couldn’t do anything his first 8 years right?
@@lv20213 when you say do anything like go to the playoffs like average 37 points a game at point guard or become the best player in the league
Yup and get kicked out the 1st round every year as well 😂. Lebron atleast took a team to the finals in his 4th year.
Jordan was always in gear. Stayed ready never had to get ready…
Lebron James 🐐
Do your knee pads have the jump man logo on them?
@@daelin9759 your mama
Thats why he took some years off
@@johndoe8288 MJ played more 82 game seasons than LeBron and had less injuries in his career. Next.
Gilbert did not have that switch
They see it.
I love it
Luka had it when the mavs played the suns
Still remember the year he activated playoff lebron and still never made the playoffs 🤦🤦🤦
😂😂😂
This guy Gil really talk out of his behind when it comes to Lebron
Man thank you I was ab to comment this he really be saying anything when it come to Lebron
If they beat u 3 years in a row then they ARE the better team
Playoff Lebron shoots worse than regular season Lebron…all facts.
@You were Born stupid false MJ’s went up from ppg PER ETC and Lebron shoots 40% outside of the rim and basketball reference will reveal the bullshit efficiency of Lebron
No more rings for Bron. It’s cool we can just reflect for the next 25 years
Stop hating
Queen lames is a overrated bum
That jacket one size too big on Gil fr fr
Did y’all forget 2007,2012,2017??
No, no one forgets that. I hope you have a great almost 20 year career in your field of work and then your boss or coworkers say to you “do you remember those 3 years when you weren’t great” childish
Kobe went hard all the time
And how did that benefit him exactly? His body was torn to shreds in his later years. Lebrons playing smart by conserving energy.
@@obi-nine15045 Ringsssss
The difference is he's not making the play in or playoffs 👏
I love this! %%** WATER PISTOL PETE SKIP BAYLESS AND ESPN FOR EMPOWERING HIM. Shoutout Colin cowherd
Meanwhile I watched MJ go 100% foot on the neck all 82
And year 14 jordan already retired twice
@@mikecobb7236 Exactly and the man had to take a break as he even said it, he was worn down emotional as well as physically. Lebron has 11,000+ more minutes played than MJ. Saying MJ went 100 every game is a lie as well. I watched Wizards MJ rely simply on skill offensively with a few defense spurts here and there. . . He was absolutely a shell of himself athletically and barely could dunk the ball. Lebron is still very dominate and while he is declining, it isn't a drop like most players.
@@radtalon6079 Everybody saw Lebron in his prime taking nights off for no reason. Same as Duncan, Steph, Klay. It's ridiculous.
Phil Handy look like an old Gil lol
Ok but, LeBron was def stat chasing last year. Last year was like the most I've ever seen him get garbage time minutes. Especially like when the battle for scoring title became close between Giannis, Embiid, and himself. And I'm not saying that's wrong he deserves and should go after both the season scoring title and career total.
Idk man...stat chasing or was he the only legit option lol...also he sat out so he couldn't win the scoring title...kinda destroys yalls stat chasing theory
@@marquesekj Yea it doesn't make sense. There have been quite few games where the Lakers have been handedly blown-out, yet LeBron still in the game trying to get a 30+ piece. So why not be consistent and go for the scoring title instead of sitting out the last 2 games? Who cares if your eliminated from the play-in get that scoring title!
@@marquesekj Lol they always have made up theories
@@herschelpatel7115 except he sat out snd did not care about the scoring title he purposely get eliminated for that title
so everything you said are just hearsays
