Heat was locked in this entire year especially LeBron
I like the fact Wade and LeBron basically abandoned the 3ptr and played to their strength
@@3kingzsneakerheadtalk635 Like finally and when they did take shots it was right in Rhythm.
@@FireAngelChris exactly. They mostly let the 3pt shooters take the 3ptrs. It was very excellent strategy
@@3kingzsneakerheadtalk635 They really wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass them up.
@@FireAngelChris nope. You could see it in their eyes. I'm a Bulls fan and I was definitely looking forward to a rematch with the Heat but the basketball Gods had other plans. Either way my Bulls wouldn't have won anyway. LeBron and Wade were on a mission
Bruh that tap alley to Wade was insane. LeBron is the greatest player I’ve ever seen, especially Miami Bron
I'll comment this before any Jordanstans get to it
"Haha no Lebum not the 🐐"
"Ive seen better, that would be MJ"
"Choked hard last season, this was lucky"
Facts
2016 Cav Lebron was on a different level as well. I’d argue that was the best Lebron.
@@takemeout5687 rent free kid
@@uripoutiga8071 what are you replying rent free for
This Heat team’s defense was unparalleled.
The way they guard the 3 ball this year was a nightmare for shooters.
@Vino kyrie and love was hurt. He would’ve won if they were healthy too
@Vino he really had no true help 2014 Dwade and bosh were declining
@@vilsainity962 even when they got fully healthy it still took them 7 whole games to beat golden state , warriors had a chance either of those years , id understand your point if a fully healthy cavs blitzed the warriors 4-1 though.
Yup. Teams that shot threes and lots of them were always their toughest opponents. That’s why the spurs gave them so much trouble. But nonetheless I still think this Heat team is a top 5 defensive team all time maybe even top 3
@Vino Right on the money, and ironically 2015 was the best LeBron ever even better than his 2013 self and especially 2014 where he looked tired and was uninterested in those finals, while averaging 28 ppg it was not a good finals for him or anyone else on that Heat team, however although Wade’s knees had betrayed him that year and he was a shell of himself, 2015 he wasn’t necessarily back to be the superstar he once was but he was revived as a star and motivated so him along with LeBron, Bosh, Dragic and Whiteside would be a nightmare for golden state as LeBron almost beat them with 2nd and 3 stringers
I just love what Spo had changed with that team in the off season. I don't think Wade and LeBron attempted a 3 pointer for like 5 or 10 games. They both did all their work in that med range and post area. He has another rule I think if you rebound the ball you can do whatever you want. But if they score and you have to inbound it. We have to run a play. It's a pure balance to get your team to play defense. But also not rob them of their creativity.
@Vino right curry and klay changed the game but if you look at history the greatest players dominated either in the paint or mid range Jordan, Kobe ,LeBron Shaq, Giannis many more and then you have the elite shooters curry klay dame trae young Reggie Miller ray allen
This LeBron deserves a 100 rating in 2k idc

Factual
Wade was a lot heavier at this point but was still so fast lol
He was 30 he was just filling out
@@IamSSAINVINCIBLEx he was a lot more slim in his last two years and even now
@@tbfit7808 that happens. The body's naturally bulks up between the ages 25-28 then again ages 30-33 and ages 40-43 the body naturally slims down and because more defined
@@IamSSAINVINCIBLEx gotcha! Respect
Him and bron was the best fastbreak duo for 2 seasons
The Fast Break at 5:44 is when I knew the HEAT were winning it all that year. This team was locked in from the jump
The reason this Miami/lebron team was so great is because of the supporting cast. Cole and Chalmers were elite perimeter defenders and were plus-offensive players back then thanks to being solid catch and shoot guys and capable ball handlers. When you have LeBron and a D Wade that is in the last year of his prime, that's really all you need. Add in a third All Star in Bosh, a former all star in Ray Allen, and some of the greatest role players in the last 20 years like battier, Miller and Birdman...and you get the best team of the past 20 years. That's not even mentioning guys that could give plus-minutes in a pinch like haslem, turiaf and James Jones.
The heat are one of the most underrated defensive teams
only by casuals tho
I disagree. IMO top 5 🐐defensive team
@@KooNap hell naww all them flop like crazy 😂😂😂
@@alexgarcia-kg1ob whats the gotta do with defense
@@LeeLonnieLove A flop completely breaks down a defensive set... If its a no call its an easy bucket. How does that not relate to defense?
the 2011 finals was really an outlier when you look at what Lebron has done in the finals since then
Tbh without this loss Idt he would’ve been this good today
@@jonrichcorpuz2957 It’s almost like he needed this loss. Even if Bron had won a title prior to joining Miami it felt like he needed this.
What he do ? Have 2 all star on his team at all time 🤣🤣
@@MikeJones-fz2mt came back down 3-1
@@SSJRome 😂 he cried so draymond got kick off for 1 game
Lmfao. Imagine LeBron, Wade, and the Heat did this in the 2011 Finals, they would've swept Dallas.
Lmao imagine even thinking that way. They were trying to play this way but Dallas handled them and shut it down lol . Do you actually think they decided to stop trying in the finals lmao?
@@anthonymalcolm1526 why are you crying? They obviously did not play like that in the 2011 Finals. Everyone in their right minds know that. Stop crying.
Lebron was hesitating that first year on the heat 'coz that's Dwade's team.
It's not even the same team as the 2010-11 Mavericks that won the finals...
@@marcmanosa8871 and whose fault was that? Can't be making excuses.
This was the 99 overall LeBron when he faced the Celtics in the playoffs
It was really a 100 overall. Ppl don’t even talk about the nightmare he was defensively
Facts
Unlocked LeBron
I think prime lebron was when he won with the cavs and made history comeback
Fuck ya
Their defense was so amazing to watch. The way they were always trapping the pick and roll was amazing. I remember trying to recreate it in 2k back in those days lol
The way they demolished Linsanity was amazing to watch
@@Aceboogie_13 Yes it was
One of my most anticipated games, that year. I remember watching in awe as the Heat DEMOLISHED the Mavs. It was so cathartic.
It was mid. Nothing topped what happened in the 2011 finals!!!
@@SinaSoh has nothing to do with what i said. lol.
@@Moshuun what you said was BS and I had to change the topic. I doubt the heat would have beaten the Mavs had they Mavs brought back most of the 2011 team in 2012. You are bragging about the Heat beating a Mavs team that was gutted at that point.
The Heat would’ve DESTROYED them stop
@@tw3314 nope, I’ll continue!!!
Man... It was almost like there were two LeBron's on the court. God damn DWade was amazing when he was healthy
If only Lebron had 2006 DWade to play with😢
@@chrispfeiffer6905 ya are both silly. I'm taking prime wade over every other great two way wing except Michael Jordan
@@TheKos2Kos Not sure how your comment is relevant to this thread
bro, I watched every game LeBron played in Miami, but I still look back at highlights and am dumbfounded by how ridiculous they were. How the fuck did this team ever lose??
Which shows a how highly underrated the 2014 Spurs were !
Spurs played the best team basketball in 2014 and in playoffs the game slows down
2011: LeBron had one of the worst if not the worst superstar meltdown in Finals history.
2014: Wade and Bosh were complete nonfactors. Spurs were on another level. Far deeper team. Having literal heat checks that would make Steph Curry blush.
Simple tough interior Defense and keeping Lebron where he shoots at his absolute worst and keeping him taking shots from these areas.. (38% from outside 10 ft ) This is what Dallas and San Antionio used in 11 and 14. oh and ya boi cramped
@@solemagus4761 no that worked in 2011 lol Lebron played much better in 2014 wade and Bosh were nonfactors
lol I just realized that this is basically “ring night” for the Mavs (at Home) and the Heat embarrassed them to begin their season… THEN the OKC thunder ended their season in the Playoffs. Funny how both teams got revenge on Mark Cuban and the Mavericks for what they did to them in 2011
What??? You forget what wade did to them in 06. 2011 Mavs got their revenge. Plain and simple
Wade and Bron were so dominant as a duo especially when they still had that hunger to get a chip for the big 3
2011 was the first time LeBron, Wade and Bosh playing together and didn't even finish first, it was like experiment to see how they play together. People start talking that this team is favorite to win, but the lack of chemistry and high egos of the team lost the finals.
But what happened 2 years in row nobody talk about it, they just talk about the 2011 and 2014 loss to Dallas and San Antonio Spurs, right guys?
They probably should have faced the Spurs three times and then who knows if theyd even be successful then lol
@@kennysdead500 No, if anything they should've faced OKC 3 times in a row. They got better in 2013 despite losing Harden. 2014 was probably the best version, but Ibaka was gone for games 1 and 2
@@cottonmather8146 You made me watch a what if Harden never got traded video lol
Their depth was still meh, but maybe if they had Adams, Jackson, and a small forward like a veteran Deng or copied Miami and San Antonio with shooters, then it would have been possible
Well they won those times so of course so people can’t be as negative. They made sure to knock out the Thunder in the finals and not let them linger around.
This Miami team were just different.
How fast they were, defensively switched on, everyone had a role and played it with passion.
No one was beating them that season.
A lot of teams now could watch their play style now & benefit from the hard defense/running fast break style. Only Golden Stare really do this well in todays game.
3:12 the best to ever do it (Splitting pnr’s)
This heat teams defense is unbelievable. And their plays are so quick. They run the floor so fast evertime.
Lebron finally got the greenlight from Wade to make it his team, and he grew a pair to lead it.
Respect to Wade for letting go of his ego. His knees were practically mush and he was only half himself after 2015
Actually Wade had to push and teach LeBron how to be a leader. But sure, the way you said it makes LeBron look way better. Lol
@@kstewart199375 Im not very sure what you mean by that. Lebron already had a lot of experience in the conference finals and the finals itself at that point in 07.
Lebron understimated the Mavs, they had elite defense, and Lebron fizzled out because he couldnt score in the paint with 2 7 footers sitting there and he didnt have a reliable jumper yet. Playing off ball at the dunker's spot completely limits his greatest strengths as a passer a d splitting the defense. Wade plays a similar role as Lebron, but he had a jumpshot so he flourished when the defrnce would pack the paint when Lebron held the ball at the start of the offence.
Once they switched roles, Wade started getting hurt and slowed down, and Lebron took over their transition heavy offence. Statistically speaking, Lebron as the man PG was 6.8 points better than when Wade was PG. And the Heat were better defensively by 4.5 with Lebron on the court.
I don't mean to diss Wade, I love the guy, but his injuries and menisuc surgery was catching up to him at the end of 2014. He carried that Heat team when Lebron shrunk, and he'll always be my fave of the big 3. I'm just looking at this objectively and where they stand when Wade hit his 30s. Lebron was better at that point, and it was obvious when the Heat fell apart when he left
@@takemeout5687 "Actually Wade had to push and teach LeBron how to be a leader. But sure, the way you said it makes LeBron look way better. Lol"
@@Gray.12 Wade averaged 15 ppg on 42% in 2014 finals. Its hard to defend that now, and I know Lebron bitched out and couldnt figure out the Mavs defense
@@takemeout5687 if you watch the 2011 Finals, you"d remember when Wade was shouting at Lebron's face for underperforming
They beat the shit outta the Mavs from then on ertime they played
They couldn’t do it in the Finals when it counted lol
That's going to happen when everyone gets older and you lose Tyson Chandler who was GREAT for them defensively.
@@illmatic826 Lebron couldn’t do it. Wade was ballin
It DNT matter and the Mavs ain't done shit else since....Miami done been to the finals again with Bron and Wade....Flash in a pan ass season
@@marquelwhitfield2890 who gives a fuck take the L bitch Dallas didn’t need a Super squad to win a chip.
I'm still hurt from that finals Lebron was a huge let down in 2011 d wade could've been a 2x finals mvp
😔💯
Right!!!
And dwade was a let down for Lebron for the rest of his time there
@@Ma1q444 really what was wade gonna do his knees gave out after 2012 bron was 100% and got killed
@@dwadeisthegoat2020 doesn’t 2012-2014 wade was no help
This game let the league know what the Heatles was about to do for the next 2 years 🔥
Look how fast LeBron is in transition, daaamn
They could blow the Mavs out 30 times and it won't make up for the 2011 finals. Because they were expected to win.
Without Chandler and Barea, the Mavs were a different team.
Well, during the 11-12 season, every team wanted revenge on dallas.
But dirk carried right 🤣🤣🤣
@@Ma1q444 But Heat was in vengeance mode
One of the best teams ever and damn I forgot how deadly Wade was.
Heat was locked in the whole game offensively and defense. They’re defense was ON IT”.
This is how the 2011 finals was supposed to go lol but I’m glad it didn’t I was a Mavs fan at the time
Well first of, this isn't same mavs team. The Heat adjusted lebron finally decide to play how he supposed to play then saw results.
This wasn’t even the same team, cmon man there was no doubt they were winning
This game
At the time??? So what team you bandwagon now a days ?
@@user-ek8cg7tm5s that was 10 years ago . They broke that team up so I said fuck it . I was a legit Dallas fan for like 5 years.
First game of the season after a lockout. Best Christmas gift
Prime DWade one of the top tier 2 guards in the league.
Dude, your editing is the best I’ve ever heard for a basketball video such as this when it comes to the timing of the voice transitions. Seamless 👍🏼👍🏼
2012 LeBron James best version. Mid range was nice , defense elite, top tier athlete with legit ball skills.
He was just Lebron
Miami Lebron was an elite midrange shooter
I would say without the 2011 finals loss
I don’t think wade and lebron would get better at posting up which it lengthened their career as well
Coz you see they weren’t posting up so well in 2011, they still were scoring mainly via pick and roll and drives
That’s why dallas can stop them because they couldn’t punish undersized guard of dallas like barea/terry down on the block
So in 2012 and afterwards they have become so much better at posting up which allowed them to play through their strength which is mid range and inside game
Also kudos to Wade for letting lebron to take the key because he realized it can make lebron, him and the team better from his sacrifice
You can tell in this game that the mavs are just a one hit wonder
one hit wonder that won the 2011 nba champonhip by beating a all star team heat are just a simple team too beat
This was LeBron in his finest prime IMO
If the Lakers this year can at least "match" this Heat mindset they'll be dangerous for the NBA
#OldDudesOnTheCourt
Well the defensive coach for this heat team is on the Lakers staff this year so let's see what happens
Fr
They missed playoffs due to Westbrick lmao
you can't revenge a finals loss with a regular season game
It’s all good, Heat went on to win two back to back and Dallas was getting cut first round in the West. And dominated by the Heat in the regular seasons.
The Heat finally woke up & put foot to ass! Love it! Would have love if the the Heat would have won three out of the four times of going to the nba finals with this Heat team but you have to be appreciative of the two nba championships that you got! That 2014 finals appearance really sucked but you can’t win them all, I just hope one day that the Heat will get back to the NBA finally again win the darn thing so that The Godfather can retire going out as a champion GM!
This was an absolutely filthy high light. Chemistry was on 1000 OP
6:57 damn
Just think about it if LeBron just plays HALF this good in the 2011 finals the Heat would’ve three peated D.Wade would’ve had two finals mvps an LeBron would have 5 rings same as Kobe
If the heat would of won in 2011 Lebron would of got fmvp not wade especially if he played like he did in 2012
@@meenb9719 Wade would’ve easily won finals mvp check the stats it’s not even close lol
@@rambooo2534 wade was a beast that series no doubt, 26, 7,5. But if lebron played like he did in the next 7 straight finals putting up like 28,8,8 he probably would have gotten the fmvp. Obviously that’ didn’t happen and lebron severely underperformed, but lebron at his best is obviously winning that
Thats when u can tell 2011 nba finals were rigged Lebron Stop playing!! He killed the bull by himself and Contain stop derrick rose in the 4th that year... mba just wanted dirk to have it...
4:20 "They're not defending, this isn't the same team." Thank you.
They weren't winning again either way tbh
@@214Kevo We'll never know. Let 'experts' tell it, they weren't gonna win it the year they did. 🤷♂️
@@214Kevo they won't win if the Mavs only have like Luka and bunch of scrubs... Plus as great as Luka is, he is not yet on Dirk level
I'm a big time Lebron fan but I kinda wish he didn't need to embarrass himself in the 2011 Finals to finally snap out of his mental barriers. That Finals series is the only stain in his amazing career.
Neither Carter nor Duck falls apart to the new newcomers LeBron and Wade. Thank you for the good video!^^
Also the result of Mark Cuban breaking up a championship roster.. such a bonehead move
Love this LeBron and watch this live
When LeBron's documentary is done years from now, he will tell the interviewer his greatest regret was not getting to face this Dallas team in the finals in 2012. He never got a chance for revenge because Cuban broke up the team. I know that eats away at him.
Letting go of tyson, butler, jj barea, steveson plus peja's retirement is the worst day for the defending champ.
Bron and Wade hit the gym and said “bully-ball time” 😂😂😂
3:50 Dirk "flat footed Nowitzki" Blocked by Wade ....LOL
I love and hated this game bc this what should’ve happened in the finals
Heat should’ve played like this when it actually mattered lol
Omg that defense is insane imagine if they had a center like 2020 mcgee
I remember watching this b4 i opened up my new 2k
They never talk about this game
LeBron was on a mission that year he destroyed the whole league
Wade led the league in 4th quarter scoring and finished 3rd in DPOY voting and was still the best leader so let's not give all the credit to LeBron. Bosh also averaged 18 PPG too LeBron was at his best they were just dominant
@@IamSSAINVINCIBLEx oh nice
@@IamSSAINVINCIBLEx LeBron was not at his best. His best was the 12-13 season. He won MVP and came 2nd in DPOY that season. D Wade only averaged .2 more points in the 4th (5.7-5.5) Bron Led the Heat in that stat the next year. And actually D Wade didn't lead the league in that category KD did. Another thing LeBron was 4th in DPOY voting in the season you're referring to and 2nd the next year while DWade was tied for 18th in that season and 16th the season after.
That putback dunk after the whistle by James. Damn. He was Kobe
BUT with Wade, Bosh, Cole, and Chalmers. He had some good ass teams too!
mario chalmers so underrated in both these finals runs
Mavs were suppose to get swept in 2011 finals.
Nba is rigged. if it wasn’t the heat would’ve won in 4. 😂😂
@@marcusjohnson7321
The extent that Brosexuals would do to defend the love of their lives. Lol
Lakers were supposed to whoop the Mavs in 2011.
At the time I was looking forward to Lakers vs Heat 2011 Finals but Dirk had other plans.
d wade splittng the pick and roll happen so fast u Gotta rewind it
This proves that Miami lost to Dallas in the finals because they played too nervous with mostly everyone except Wade getting into the moment. They should had beaten Dallas. This Miami team also won 27 games Straight in 2013 also with the second best streak in NBA history. I'd still think this was Lebron's best team ever with the Heat
this game wont change the fact that you CHOKED and scored 8 points in a finals game! 😂😂
Facts
No but the 4 championships might.
@@theBlackBearrrr bubble ring is GARBAGE bronsexual! that's a fact! 😂🤣😂
Not revenge 😂 never got that one back. They got embarrassed on a National stage and the rematch never happened
The Heat were up 2-1 against this same team and lost 3 straight? Yeah right. More like Cuban bought them out, and Bron and Wade accepted the buy out to throw the Finals for Dallas to help with the massive paycut they had to do to form the Heat team.
this lebron was the combination of quickness and strength. unguarded
2012 LeBron Was Built In The Lab & HEAT Defense was ridiculous that year
If bron played this hard his whole career he might be in goat convo
If LeBron had this in him as far as hustle and defense, MY GOD. But when you are older; 37 years old you reserve energy.
Huge come back though whole lee, but wade lebron were gods
Dirk Nowitzki it's one of my favorite players of all time and it's the most underrated and be a legend and great of all time hands down 💯💯🤦🏾
Our team was totally different if we had the same team we would have beaten them again
Mannnnnnn they were on a mission this season 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When LeBron played with a huge chip on his shoulder, the Heat were near impossible to beat. This game, that regular season home game vs OKC, Game 4 @ Indy, Game 6 @ Boston, & Game 7 vs Boston.
Oh it was the shoulder... so the shoulder airballs free throws. the shoulder is the turnover leader all time, the shoulder couldn't score against Barea... " PuT YOuR HeAd On My ShOuLdEr " - LEbron James
The Lamar Odom moment is awesome as well
This heat team was the most scariest team the nba has ever seen , I used to call them vampire diaries 😂 idk what year of 2k that was but nobody could fuck wit me , couldn’t play with no other team
I remember them days too😂😢
I used to love watching this heat team rotate and switch on defense. I wish the lakers could
Play defense on this level this upcoming season (2023).
I think Mike Breen said it best. Scary good.
Lucky the Mavs didn’t come back with the same team, eff you mark cuban
Mark did fuck that team up. I will NEVER under Why oh Why would you Miss with a championship team that had ALL that chemistry.
This is why I say this Heat team would have been great to see stay together if Wade could stay healthy add a few young pieces like the continuity and ability to switch on defense and just swarm teams was soo impressive. I feel like they could’ve won 2 more chips against a young inexperienced Warriors team. But Bosh and Wade’s health derailed that possibility. Definitely could have been an all time great dynasty
Just don't get what happened in 2011, I was 13 so I don't remember it much but damn he looked like a completely different player compared to literally every other series of his career outside of the 2015 postseason but that was due to his own injuries and being undermanned
People forget about this game
I’m GLAD!
What a legendary win by Heat. The team was locked in to win it all the whole year.
Life was good and it’s peak when this game was played 2012 best year wver
Lebron pissed me off in the 2011 Finals. Ive been off and on Lebron his whole career. I only don't like him when he plays for Cleveland. lol I like Miami and LA Bron.
Dirk’s even wearing a Lebron’s ❤️
I wish LeBron played angry every game
No Warriors championship team would’ve defeated this Heat team.
I remember this game like it was yesterday. I tried to order Dominoes but couldn’t get it cause it was Christmas Day. Miami went crazy on Dallas. Saying to myself if only they could of done this 6 months ago in the finals. The Heat Big 3 esp LBJ got his revenge and showed out that year and the next.
Miami Heat is really ready for the revenge on the defending nba champs Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day (shortened year 66 GM's)
Didn't MJ play & win in a shortened year?🤔 Not the players fault though
Comparing an NBA championship with a regular season game. 😂
The only way to be miami during this time was RUN RUN RUN CONDITIONING
4:15 I remember Lebron worked on this new jumper stance/movement in the off season... I wonder why doesn't he take these anymore especially over small defenders!
If you fall short and embarrass yourself, you don’t request a trade. You dig deep run it back and run the league. Or so I thought…
