His landing mechanic is on point too. Lands on both feet with knees bent all the time. This explains his longevity.
PEDs explain his longevity

@@fredooogoated8335your stupid for assuming he’s wrong without looking up sources online
Bron is too damn big and strong to be that fast and that good at jumping and that skilled and that smart and that good a passer. Shit is crazy
It’s crazy to think that this game was just made up and that people can actually be born to play it, that’s with all sports
He's a Super Athlete, absolute Apex, right there with Wilt, Bo and Prime.
But couldn’t D up on Turk to stop the magics pick and roll🤷🏿♂️
Wow Lechoke threw a bounce pass to a guy in the corner. What s great passer.
The lies about Lechoke never get old.
Go cry @@sethbullock4193
He is fast he literally out runs everyone on the court in a fastbreak
No he dont
He actually doesn't
@@fullmetal1766 but he did I mean I get not liking him but you can’t dispute visual evidence
And his handles was crisp
@@geraldtaylor8712 Literally agreeing with raw facts, he is proven time and again to have the fastest break
This dude was in his prime since 2003,mama there goes that man😂😂
Hand down, man down 😅😅😅
2009-2018
@@THEECYBERMACKINnah his prime was 2006 to 2020, he was top 2 in MVP in 06 and 2020
Just imagine if Bron had better players around the first 7 years.😢
Not just better player the cavs front office was neglectful and creating an environment that ended up with Lebron and his teamates who were mostly bums being at odds against each other genuinely such a unfortunate scenario for such a talent
He did. Still didn’t win shit til he teamed up with the best player in the game at the time in Miami. Wade circa 2008-2011 then LeBron from 2012 through the next few years, they were the 2 best players in the world. He couldn’t win shit without Wade. If he never played with him, he’d still be chasin his first ring. That is a fact.
@dazdavis7896 Cleveland fan, he had shit rosters for 7 years just stop it.
@@dazdavis7896 you don't know ball.. stop
@@codyeble6764 lmfao. NICE try there kid. I know a whole hell of a lot more than you. Sit tf down.
ppl really think this wouldn't have dominated the 90s.
Them old niggas are delusional, he woulda been better in the ‘90s😂
Those 08-10 cavs teams were so good. Really good chemistry between the team. Best regular season record two years straight. They were just missing one more piece
That was supposed to be Amare 😢
Literally all the front office at the time had to do was get the man a reliable 2nd option (Mo Williams had ZERO reasons being that option) and the Cavs would've had a legit shot at a chip during his first stint there especially in 09
best in the league on defense and on offense they was probably the worst if it wasn't for Lebron being in there.
Yes they were missing one more piece.
They needed Lechoke to not choke.
@@sethbullock4193mo Williams choked goofy know your history hater 😂
This is why I think THIS is prime bron. 08-09 bron was just different. If he had the IQ and minder from Miami, UNSTOPPABLE
Miami Lebron is literally a more well rounded version of this Lebron. He just has more muscle
U explain why this isn’t prime bron right after saying this is prime bron bonehead 🤣🤣😂😂.
I think 2018 IQ was even better
@@BatmanvsJesus 2015-to now is the smartest he's been, probably a better shooter/passer. But 2009 was his athletic peak.
Prime bron was 2nd stint in Cleveland
And people expect LeBron to still be this athletic at 38 years old 🙄 but yeah he was the most athletic at this time.
I think he will play till he is 45 haha still got it in him..
@@TheJanvicgwaps I don't think so as optimistic as LeBron is about playing with Bronny Jr a team would have to want LeBron and who wants someone 45
@@lesliebarber206 lebron will only be 40 when he can play with bronny. no one is expecting him to play at 45 lmao.
@@ozzee5094 LeBron is 38 years old now he's going to be 39 year 2024 as much as a Laker fan and LeBron fan i am, the way he got gas out last Friday night playing 45 minutes,i don't think that if they don't find some real shooters, LeBron will not fulfill year 2024 season (IJS)
@@lesliebarber206 let me break it down too you. lebron's poor play is a result of his jumper being beyond garbage at the moment. his finishing at the rim and the amount of times he's getting his shots at the rim are aligned with his career averages. he's been very efficient from 2 point range. it's these nonsense 3s he's been jacking up like 8 times a game that are leading to these poor performances. lebron averaged 29 ppg in 2023 to think he wouldnt play in 2024 is nonsense.
This was one of the years everyone thought he can easily play in NFL if he wanted to.
I came here after they lost to the nuggets in game 3 of the 2023 WCF,how I wish he could turn back the time and dominate like this.🙏🙏🙏
He did but it wasn’t enough😢
@@ChinedumDavidhe didn’t dominate LeBron played mid asf all playoffs

No matter who played against him he was always there to deliver his best day up day. It's been crazy to watch him all these years
Most gifted athlete of all time
I truly believe he coulda went HOF in any professional sport lol
Yeah no, his dash and vertical leap max is still behind Jordan 😂😂😂😅
@@jasonhardaway3052 bro MJ is 50lbs lighter and 4 inches shorter, he better be faster and jump higher then Lebron lmao. Now lets put them in the weight room and see who can move more iron 💪🏾
@@Baddknewz Lebron is 6’8, Jordan is 6’6, not a huge difference, fact remains that Jordan was overall more athletic by far than Lebron. Not sure how the weight room determines who’s the better athlete? 😂😂😂
@@jasonhardaway3052 Lets talk facts and not hypotheticals. Yo boy didn’t even make variety basketball his first try. Whereas lebron was legitimately league-ready at 15 years old. Yo boy tried baseball and was below below average lmao. Lebron was the best football player in Ohio the same time he was winning basketball championships.
His explosiveness is just 🔥🔥
BEST VERSION OF LEBRON ATHLETIC WISE
And Kobe won the chip that year🤦🏾♂️
His acceleration at some of these fastbreaks looks fake as fuck. It's insane
The greatest ever 😤🐐
The most overrated over hyped player in the history of the league.
@@sethbullock4193it’s always the white boys hating. I know you mad😂😂😂
Greatest what? Lmao
WR, Safety and running back dude is a monster
Toma hawk! LeBron's signature dunk 💯🔥
I recall him grabbing a stray alley oop and almost hitting the SIDE of his head on the backboard. He caught the ball one handed and finished the play also.
Didn't finish the play, got fouled coming down.. but ya I remember that, was crazy how high he got
I miss this young LEBRON
Miss his hairline
@@RavenK-lu7co my down hairline? Hahaha
@@ElsonCriminologist yeah you understand stupid
Excellent video.
Absolutely Best Year.
Look at his teammates
2 all star teammates weirdo
@@fullmetal1766 exactly no hall of Famer . An all star is voted by fans. What's the best accolade those 2 all stars have without lebron ???? Nothing .. now that's weird
Stupid reply
@earnesttynes4110 an allstar is an allstar. He wasn't playing with bums like in 2007
Didn't win the chip though🤣🤣
I hear that smooth jazz in the background! Great choice 👍
Big, strong, smart, agile and of the roof IQ. LBJ is a rare breed 💪🏾
Ive watched Jordan and LeBron. The only player that i could ever say PHYSICALLY dominated grown men from day 1 on the level that LeBron did is Shaq and that was due to Shaqs size. Even Jordan was not the physical BEAST Lebron was. And MJ was an amazing athlete, but Lebron was MJ level athleticism with the size of Karl Malone. It was ridiculous, and truthfully he goes to any other franchise than the Cavs he has more than 6 rings.
Loving the videos 📸📸📸
Been a pleasure watching lebrons career I didnt like him at first cuz I'm a Melo fan but u grew to respect him appreciate his greatness just like I did kobe
It was so long ago but man..2008 lebron was just absolutely machine. 280 ish fast as hell and the most explosive thing I’ve ever seen
I don’t think I’ve missed a single game that year, every game was electrifying
LeBron would dominate in any era but 2008-2013 lebron would be putting up 35/8/8 with the spacing today.
Nobody ever in the history of the game don’t care what anyone says the speed and strength and athleticism was insane goat 🐐
LEGENDARY
Cavs really wasted lebron prime athletic ability smh. all they need to do is acquire a 2nd scoring option behind lebron and they'll be a champion. if Mo williams is your 2nd option there is something wrong lmao
Wait, just wait until, you his biggest hater start crying the day he leaves the game. I already miss this guy's prime...I followed all his career
This bron was different. Still ain't seen nothing like him in the 09 days
He is the GOAT
Why does the lebron haters come to his UA-cam videos and start saying anything negative about the legend?
Not that it bothers me because everyone who watches him play with two eyes knows he is the Greatest Of all time!
I think everyone is forgetting just how fast and quick shaq was in his young years.
The GOAT hands down.
Imagine a player like this
in the late 80s and 90s!😲
Good times of life this time man
Krispy Kreme want to borrow some of y'all glaze😂😂😂😂😂😂
You mean from 2003 to 2018. He was the most athletic ever. Not just 09.
Bullshitn... Ain't nobody was more athletic than a prime healthy DRose a '02 Kobe Bryant or '88 MJ
@@DarrelWashingtonJr9002 lmao. Put down the drugs. D rose was NOT more atheltic. Otherwise his legs wouldnt have given out. Delusional ass mfer. Stfu
Wilt Chamberlain was more athletic. Wilt was Taller stronger bigger wingspan but also very fast for a 7 footer and he has at least a 35 inch vertical at 7’1. Wilt also had more endurance and could play every minute of every game.
LeBron is faster that’s it and had a higher vertical but every other metric of athleticism Wilt clears.
@@YungPhilosopher omfg stfu. You sound retarded. You nostalgia tards are so delusional.. wilt was playing against garbage competition. Anyones gonna look other worldy against 90% of the league being chumps. Wilt would be a 21 10 guy in todays game. Plenty of players would punk him. Foh
Dumb kids know absolutely nothing.
I really hope I wasn't this dumb while embarrassing myself.
Man oh man 🐐
Yeah. If he only had the right teammates around. He wouldn't leave.
I will truly miss watching Lebron when he retires. I was Born in 97 & it’s like ever since I’ve been watching the NBA fr Lebron has been in the league, it won’t be the same at all without Lebron. Idc if he is averaging 8 ppg I want him to play til he’s 48 yrs old lol
Lebron is arguably the most gifted basketball player ever - size, speed, skill, athleticism, IQ, longevity. The only thing missing is a killer instinct which Jordan and Kobe had in spades.
Well, Bird is more skilled as he made up for lack of athleticism. He provided the assists without Lebron's turnover rate. Lebron has a 37% midrange shot.
2009 Lebron relied heavily on athleticism. Today's Lebron can atleast score 34% from 3 pointer, but Bron still relies heavily on upclose baskets that are within 5 ft.
Bird is more skilled, and so are players that dont rely on upclose shots
@@KnucklesWTD-uu3psbird didn't play the crazy athletes that Bron did literally where their only job is to stop Bron... Besides Rodman I can't think of one other guy.. not saying bird wouldn't torch the new guys too but it's not a fair comparison playing so many years and talent levels apart
U don’t get 4 rings and the most points ever with NO killer instinct. He was in the finals at 22..
2009 LeBron was the best basketball athlete of all time he was the fastest player in the league the most athletic and one of the strongest forwards in the game at the time
LeBron was very good in every category 9/10 in speed, vertical and power, but not exceptional in any. Only Wilt Chamberlain I would consider a better overall package.
Most turnovers and never gave a fade
2009 lebron had a killer instinct
@@Dthreat__6 had a killer instinct in 2011
Yeah I loved it when he played for Cleveland seemed like ok watch me now for home team that year
Goat
We just witnessed the greatest basketball player of all time
What's the soundtrack of this video? It's fire.
lebron james is the goat no more else
I honestly don’t know which version is better between 09. And Miami heat version.. and I’m from Cleveland so I’ve seen every version.. I might give the slight nod to Miami bron! He was a killer and more clutch!
2018 bron was out of this world, his mind/basketball IQ was peak and his athletic ability was just a little lost, he was still the most athletic player on the field against any opponent basically. He was not playn D the entire game tho, but that was just for tiredness control. If we talk about a single play for saving my life, I would choose 2018 Bron
I'm gonna have to show this to my kids
who only know Lakers Bron and him being the crafty old vet that still gets buckets...
They need to see the phenom!
Wow! I forgot he was so strong and fast!
1:29 is crazy!
🐐🐐🐐
When you realize neither picture on the thumbnail is from the 2009 season🔥🔥
This is young LeBron at it's finest.
this LBJ would have dominated todays league. no doubt.
damn he was 24 or 25 at this time.. his athletic yrs for sure
Yes
Mfka was something serious 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes nobody was more athletic then Lebron ever all
Time lebrons size was ridiculous 🐐
That’s my homie who don’t even know me 👏🏼
‘09 Bron my favorite version
In short, yes.
How many times did he play the Celtics that year 😂😂😂
beast
BPE = BEST PLAYER EVER‼️ 👌🏽 🤞🏾🩸
Lebrons dominated 3 generations of players
Might’ve been the biggest here as well. Built like a tank his whole career but here he looks stacked
The funniest thing about this video is this is only about 10 different games that is shown lmao
D ROSE WAS THE MOST ATHLETIC PLAYER IN THE NBA IN 2009
😂
2009 Lebron was the freakiest and biggest I think he's ever been
You can hand-check til the cows come home. You ain’t gonna stop this man from forcing your head in the basket.
By using off arm to push and foul defender.
That’s When He Played At 265lbs
Man he cooked paul pierce at 2:10 lol
Best player ever idgaf 👑
Best flopper. Best quitter. Best star with no shot. Best star with no handle.
I hate ppl act like this bron wasnt great they act like he was trash til Mia lol im a bron fan i remember even back then thinkin bron the goat but he had no rings to defend my argument but i knew i had never seen anybody like bron those early cle yrs bron was a beast he just couldnt shoot at all lol just a pure athlete really carrying cle those yrs are underrated
Peak designer drugz
Considering this was when prime Dwight was around it is kind of hard to just give LeBron the title. Prime Dwight was a whole different animal in terms of athleticism.
Eastern conference was at an all time low In 09. Credit his longevity and athleticism, but he’s no goat
Most athletic player. Period!
Feel like people forget about how good this version of LeBron really was with very limited talent around him.
Y'all make all the excuses .........for this guy......I swear........
This lebron is the reason 2k put Chase down Artist as a badge
This was were he had the most speed & vertical & quickness
LMAOOOO he ain’t have to do Jason Richardson like that 😆😆😆 that man was bout to do a slam dunk contest move. Messed up his moment
Chris Paul was quicker Derrick rose was faster Dwight was stronger and Gerald Green jumped higher but Lebrons combinations are what makes him the best. Kobe was a better scorer Nash was a better passer Howard was a better Rebounder Wade was a better defender but Lebron mixed all that with a 6’8 250 frame. GOAT
LMAOOOO this mfer is the size of Karl Malone and as fast as prime D Rose.. ridiculous
He was cooking Boston lol
And he was the fastest on the court then and now!!!
lebron james is the best of the universe
And people think or mj fans think mj better then lebron 😂😂😂 looks how fast strong athletic Lebron is he does everything better then mj not even close
The greatest player to ever play this game #kingjames
Nah Jordan is the greatest in my opinion. But we all have our opinions
@@GoGetYourShinebox its not an opinion. It is an empirical fact. Its mj all day every day and twice on sundays...
Wow. You know absolutely nothing.
give me 09 Bron every single time
2023 Bron is the best 💉🧹💉🧹
Dude went for a 360 and LBJ made him eat it! Lol
He had to be embarrassed after that one. Ha ha
Lebron isn’t vertical like vince carter but he’s got some power and speed sheesh
Lmao lebron weighs more...
