Bron had the versatility on full display during this run , playing off ball /on ball on the low block top of the key left/right elbow there was just no where you could put him on the court where he wasn’t a threat to score or make a play 🔥🔥🔥 the greatest playoff asset you could have on your roster and it’s not even close
This bron was the bron that i finally thought was better than mj. Had the all around game. Working in the mid post n shit. Tied along with his court vision as well. And he the "closer" gene in him probably the most than i had ever seen in his his career, except for 2018 maybe
*NO* *BOSH* in the 2nd round. People forget that! Lebron and Wade beat PG, Hibbert, Granger, West, and Hill by themselves. Those names meant something in 2011-2014
The 🐐version of LeBron to me. So many elite Playoff performances .... 40-18-9 to save the season in G4 vs. Indy, the 45-15-5 vs. Boston, 31 in G7, a 26-point triple-double to get his first ring vs. OKC. 😬 This version just had a different vibe, felt like he refused to lose any kind of must-win game. Kinda unpopular, but it's right up there w/ '18 Bron, '13 Bron and '09 Bron imo.
I love KD, especially that 2012 - 2014 KD, but I would disagree. @@JuwanTaylor-jz5zr 😅 I can't argue w/ you cause it was close. Between KD, LeBron, and Melo it was buckets every night
@@havolinehavoline4079 I did. Bron was more impressive and a better player. My dad and twin brother love MJ. My brother has almost every shoe and we´re are from Denmark. But both admitted that Bron was a far more impactful player than Jordan. The 80s weren't good years for Jordan. He got destroyed but that Changed when Phil Became the head coach. In Phil first year as coach they lost in ECF, but the year after they were champions. Jordan is top 2,, but he couldn't even carry a team to the second round before Pippen became good and Phil became the coach. When Phil created the system where Jordan could do what he did best, scoring he seemed a lot more "godly" but truth be told, Pippen was the team's most important player as Jordan said himself "Without Pippen, I wouldn't have 6 rings ". Pippen had more rebounds, steals, assists, and blocks in those 6 finals and defended the other team's best player. The year Jordan retried first time in 94, the Bulls won 55 games two short of their champion year in 93. The Bulls lost in 7 games to the Knicks in the ECS but that's a lot more to that series. The Bulls lost the two first games and went down 0-2. After that, the Bulls came back and in game 5 there was maybe one the biggest robberies in playoff history. Pippen didn't commit that foul and the Bulls lost the games because of the refs. Even Knicks fans admitted that. Bulls lost game 5 because of that and lost momentum even though they went 7 games. Coming back down 0-2 and almost going up 3-2 is the biggest momentum you can get in that situation. They won game 6 and lost game 7. The refs cost the Bulls a trip to the ECF without Jordan. Pippen played maybe one of his best series
Miss those days so much. Except from pain coming from Mavs series it was my the best 4 years of being LeBron fan. Let’s not forget that was over 11 years ago and GOAT James is still on top of his game 👑🐐
Exactly right. 2012 was actually the year he deserved DPOY. The logic behind giving Gasol the DPOY in 2013 was that he had all the advanced defensive stats. Well in 2012 Lebron was 1st in defensive BPM and 2nd in Defense win shares. I have no idea the logic behind Chandler winning it. If chandler won it in 2012 due to "intangible impact" then Lebron should've won it in 2013. If Gasol won it in 2013 due to advanced defensive stats than Lebron shouldve won it in 2012. Either way he was robbed
@@Gabriel-sh3ms All to protect one mans legacy, smh. Also had another runner up in 2009 to peak Dwight (which Dwight deserved). Just really unlucky and unfair he never won it, with the voters against him after he went to Miami and elite level competition.
The Miami Heat LeBron is the best version hands down. He's possibly the best basketball player I've ever seen. He's right there with MJ in the early 90s. I got the same feeling when I watched them play. And that was, "my God, I'm watching perfection." Those 2 absolutely mastered their craft. We will never see greatness like that again.
This was my favorite bron. He was still lean before the muscle -gain in the 2012-2013 season, so his moves were still quicker. Fresh off of a Dallas finals loss, so he went to the gym and sharpened his ENTIRE game. No longer could you hurt him with the zone because because he could play in the mid-post and worked on his catch and shoot game. He also worked on his pull-up middies. Shit was resfreshing to watch from bron, who up to then, relied on high screen and rolls and kick out for 3s to dominate. There weren't any extra wrinkles to his game
fax. Lebrons game completely changed in the 2011-12 season. Instead of being the ball handler he opted to catch the ball in the post or came off screens, Way less pick and rolls like u said but when he did instead of always barelling to the basket he developed a consistent midrange pull up game. The biggest difference NO MORE SETTLING FOR THREES. Shot clock running down? instead of setting for a three that had a big chance of missing he would opt for a pullup midrange jumper which had a way higher chance of going in. And ofc, the post game. Its amazing how one offseason of training suddenly turned him into this amazing post player. First game back vs Dalls he was doing psot moves we had never seen him do before it was legit mindblowing. And the most important thing, the aggression. Definetely his most aggressive year in Miami. Instead of getting his shot within the flow of an offense he was looking for his shot finding ways to get himself open and commiting to a possession that he was going to take that shot kind of like a Kobe. Way less 3 settling, he was going to get to the rim or as close to the basket as he possibly could and then either do a layup or a close range jumper. And the 3 level efficiency. 48% from 3-10 feet and 48% from 10-16 feet and a respectable 38% from 16-3P. Lowest % of 3 point shots attempted and highest % of 2 point shots attempted even higher than his rookie season in 2004 where threes were not popular yet. Iman Shumpert said it best in that interview. Him and Wade that year were going to the basket every single possession in 2012. I like 2012 way better than any of his Miami years.
@@Gabriel-sh3ms TALK ABOUT IT DAWG. He was more finesse than power this year. And just like the same way u say one off season could change his game, the next year for the repeat, it looked like he had reverted BACK into his bulldosing ways. It was weird. Im like yo why lebron not doin all the post moves anymore lol. He still had the great shooting season, but all of his spin fades had gone, he def took WAY less middies. And it bothered me smh.
@@bobbyvalentino6773 unfortunately it was due to Miami's insistence on running a full time small ball, pace and space offensive style which then evolved into a full on five out offense in 2014 (which had many flaws). 2013 they decided to only have one guy in the paint so Chris Bosh and Birdman would occupy the paint a lot more and therefore way less Lebron post ups. Instead he had to go back to a ball handling pick and roller kind of roll and three point spotter. Dont get me wrong, this was probably for the best as it increased his efficiency even more but aesthetically and visually it wasnt as pleasing. Less midranges and more just pure drives, more standing in the corner and spot up threes. Less coming off screens and off ball action in general as he became the primary ball handler again. THe five out offense they ran in 2014 was honestly pretty terrible and one of the main reasons they couldnt get it done in the end. Stagnancy, no cutting and no offensive rebounding
@Gabriel-sh3ms Dam. Awesome point, sir. As a basketball fanatic, I appreciate this. The big 3 Miami's efficiency peaked and was def all time in '13. They won 66 games, i believe. But man, the more the years went by, the more "Lebron Ball" they became. And it def showed in the 2014 finals, when Wade had basically become a role-playing superstar, where he wasn't really creating for himself anymore
This year and 2018 are the best he's been from an individual player standpoint. 2013 was his best team with the 27 game win streak plus the ring. But 2012 he was more aggressive and should've won DPOY as well. Folks dont understand you could've easily said LeBron was the best defender in the league.
2012 Pacers with Danny Granger was the underrated opponent in LeBron 8 year Final Journey, sad that Danny had his career fell quick, Paul George always know how good he was
Why did this video not include LeBron's massive bank jumper in Game 2 of the Finals to give the Heat a 5 pt lead? And the FTs to seal it? Most important part of the game was cut out, smh.
@@kb4231Probably because Miami is a serious organization with a great coaching staff. Once Lebron had too much power inside a franchise his game suffer from it, less defensive effort and more ball dominant on offense. He's so great that he was successful even in that way but the peak he reached in 2012-2013 was something else.
I mean i get why he talked alot in 2011, he was young was finally on an actual good team he didnt have to carry every night. Losing that finals did make him lock in tho
I miss these days as a Heat & LeBron fan. Literally the best 4 years of my teenage life as a kid. Although we only got 2/4, games always felt like a playoff game when Miami came to town
I don’t know how y’all watch these high lights n don’t come to the conclusion dat dis man is the greatest basketball player in the 77 years of the sport man plays n guards every position Score rebound play make and defend at a high level dis man is literally is the complete package‼️

You kno something guys they still want LBJ to play like this at 39 that's a dam shame keep doing your thing LBJ you're my goat I like MJ and Kobe I just like LBJ better all these guys are great point blank 1 Love
6:53 Reggie Miller "LeBron is not the scorer Carmleo Anthony is" shows how biased people were by Melo's game back then and ignorant about the sport of basketball
Facts, Reggie Miller also said he would averaged 50 in today's game lol, you can tell these old basketball players have an agenda against the players of today, and they say some of the most ridiculous things when talking the game of basketball as basketball players smh.
Pure Goat, the best all around player I've ever seen, the most athletic scariest slasher, another level playmaking, lockdown d, and impressive outside shooting. All hail the King👑
That game 1 of the second round vs the pacers was high defense and lower scoring to have 40 point at the end of the third pretty much is crazy compared to todays game
@skyh2394 you're right! 2 championships 2 finals mvps 1 regular season MVP 1 Defensive player of the year Actually the gap between Jordan and LeBron is better than KD career 🤣🤣🤣
17:31🤣😅😂 his defense was great blocking str8 up or chasedown. Sit in chair well. Just don't contest sometimes. Dont let him in passing lane either or its dunk other end.
I truly believe that LBJ was under more pressure than any other player in NBA history during the previous season. All of that pressure culminated in a humiliating Finals loss to Dallas. That loss made him a much better player. The title is fitting; he was different after that.
absolute GOAT: Involves his teammates, himsely by a strong team, plays with his team, does whatever is needed, crunch time hits big shots, make the right plays, yeah he is the GOAT guys, it is over
Jordan did everything you named + winning x2 rings, x2 FMVPs, x1 MVP and x1 DPOY more in 6 years less and counting. Thats literally a KD career gap (in fact better) lmao
I've forgotten how fast and aggressive Lebron is, with the transition of his style of play rn it's impressive that he still made it work(more of a passer shooter)
Watching him in this and seeing him in year 21 at 39 years old still play at an elite level and people still holding him to an impossible standard for that age, just goes to show how great he really is.. I'm gonna miss the King when he finally decides to retire, hoping to see another year or 2 of him..
Lebron went through every top player at his position for this ring. Melo,Pg,Paul Pierce,Durant..has there ever been another player that went through a tougher line up of players at their position?
@@jaobille79 no I didn’t he didn’t face Kawhi on his 2012 title run and kawhi was a rookie and wasn’t a top player..I’m speaking this 2012 run specifically he went through the top 5 at his position excluding himself
He faced barely any 50-win teams, and most of the teams he met absolutely sucked defensively (Celtics being an obvious exception). Yes, the East was incredibly weak.
@@thatscool7877 I’m talking about his entire career. Lockout shortened seasons are adjusted, and there haven’t been that many of them. Kobe played in lockout-shortened seasons as well (his very first as a starter, for example, was only 50 games long). That doesn’t in any way change my point.
THE KNICKS DIDNT HAVE A ANSWER FOR LEBRON AT ALL, THE COACH "TALKING BOUT I CANT AFFORD TO TAKE MELO OUT" MEANWHILE LEBRON SO DOMINANT THAT HE CAN AFFORD TO GO CHILL ON THE BENCH. 😂
Id take this Miami version of Bron over any player ever minus Shaq in his prime... Yup even over Jordan and Kobe simply because he can do everything they can do but he's also a team player. They became team players. Bron has always been that dude... And I grew up in the Jordan era and was just as big a fan as anyone...
LeBron got to play off ball more during his 4-year stint with the Heat and didn't have to be the primary ball handler much of the time. Probably also helped him improve his defensive intensity not having to carry as much of the load offensively. He was ALL over the court in that legendary Game 6 against Boston controlling the game on both sides of the ball.
45 pts 15rbs 5ast shooting 73%, I think missed only one fg the first half...masterful. Still watch today in amazement.
and basically sat out the 4th qtr. Could've had 60 easily

I dont care what anyone on tv or any comment section says. This is the GOAT, and it isn't close.
You kno something guys they still want LBJ to play like this at 39 that's a dam shame keep doing your thing LBJ you're my goat I like MJ and Kobe I just like LBJ better all these guys are great point blank 1 Love
That ECF GAME 6 PERFORMANCE IS JUST STRAIGHT UP GOATED I NEEDED ALL THESE YEARS TO PASS BY TO ACTUALLY APPRECIATE THIS RUN..And I DO 😂
6:53 Reggie Miller "LeBron is not the scorer Carmleo Anthony is" shows how biased people were by Melo's game back then and ignorant about the sport of basketball
Facts, Reggie Miller also said he would averaged 50 in today's game lol, you can tell these old basketball players have an agenda against the players of today, and they say some of the most ridiculous things when talking the game of basketball as basketball players smh.
Players are biased against athletic players like LeBron who can slash and get high off the ground.
Pure Goat, the best all around player I've ever seen, the most athletic scariest slasher, another level playmaking, lockdown d, and impressive outside shooting. All hail the King👑
That game 1 of the second round vs the pacers was high defense and lower scoring to have 40 point at the end of the third pretty much is crazy compared to todays game
Yeah this is the best player in nba history
Facts
The best player in NBA history still has a KD career gap (in fact better) on LeBron, and he played 6 years less and counting.
@skyh2394 you're right!
2 championships
2 finals mvps
1 regular season MVP
1 Defensive player of the year
Actually the gap between Jordan and LeBron is better than KD career 🤣🤣🤣
@@skyh2394 🥱 greater and better are two different things
17:31🤣😅😂 his defense was great blocking str8 up or chasedown. Sit in chair well. Just don't contest sometimes. Dont let him in passing lane either or its dunk other end.
This was 2012 we are in 2024 and he still playing 😮
Still playing great
Lebron on the court has been like Carnage from Spiderman.
I truly believe that LBJ was under more pressure than any other player in NBA history during the previous season. All of that pressure culminated in a humiliating Finals loss to Dallas. That loss made him a much better player. The title is fitting; he was different after that.
Miami bron was just different 😮💨💪🏾🔥
As a bron hater this the scariest version of bron nt jus the super team but he was ridiculously good
Why do you hate lebron though?
why even hate him i dont get it
absolute GOAT: Involves his teammates, himsely by a strong team, plays with his team, does whatever is needed, crunch time hits big shots, make the right plays, yeah he is the GOAT guys, it is over
Jordan did everything you named + winning x2 rings, x2 FMVPs, x1 MVP and x1 DPOY more in 6 years less and counting.
Thats literally a KD career gap (in fact better) lmao
@@skyh2394 while jordan played with the perfect team built around him against a watered down league full of plumbers and electricians
That Knicks squad was super loaded
I've forgotten how fast and aggressive Lebron is, with the transition of his style of play rn it's impressive that he still made it work(more of a passer shooter)
for real! you gotta go back and see how dominant he was damnnn
Nothing to say... GOAT ...
Man i keep forgetting how dangerious the heat was u was not stopping this team with no one except okc or the spurs of 2013 or 14
there was no stopping 2012 bron, nigga wasn’t playing that yr, he was on a mission
As a Heat fan good memory lane but seeing Stuart Scott in these videos was just as good
Thank you for you this
Watching him in this and seeing him in year 21 at 39 years old still play at an elite level and people still holding him to an impossible standard for that age, just goes to show how great he really is.. I'm gonna miss the King when he finally decides to retire, hoping to see another year or 2 of him..
LeBron Should’ve Won DPOY!!!!!!!
ECR1 G4, Knicks finally turned it up, nice work and and great battle!
The look @1:23:38
They were without bosh also 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
„If you wear the crown they try to tear you down. I’m ready for it now”
LeBron clears Melo as a scorer, he’s literally the greatest scorer…I love Melo too but cmon Reggie Miller what is that statement 😂
When Reggie said that, he smokin fentanal
He's the scorer with the most longevity, not even close to be the greatest scorer ever.
Lebron went through every top player at his position for this ring. Melo,Pg,Paul Pierce,Durant..has there ever been another player that went through a tougher line up of players at their position?
forgot Kawhi
@@jaobille79 no I didn’t he didn’t face Kawhi on his 2012 title run and kawhi was a rookie and wasn’t a top player..I’m speaking this 2012 run specifically he went through the top 5 at his position excluding himself
@@greengomarx1248 thought you were saying the top 5 SF he faced in his era.
@@jaobille79 nah I said “for this ring” in the og comment
East is weak ?
LeBron faced
Melo , Stoudemire, Chandler
Paul George
Pierce, Allen, KG, Rondo
He faced barely any 50-win teams, and most of the teams he met absolutely sucked defensively (Celtics being an obvious exception). Yes, the East was incredibly weak.
@@DaveM86 This is was a lockout season, so there were less games played.
@@thatscool7877 I’m talking about his entire career. Lockout shortened seasons are adjusted, and there haven’t been that many of them. Kobe played in lockout-shortened seasons as well (his very first as a starter, for example, was only 50 games long). That doesn’t in any way change my point.
Give hakeem olajawon his flowers please
You are the Goat for this!!! Thank you!!!
THE KNICKS DIDNT HAVE A ANSWER FOR LEBRON AT ALL, THE COACH "TALKING BOUT I CANT AFFORD TO TAKE MELO OUT" MEANWHILE LEBRON SO DOMINANT THAT HE CAN AFFORD TO GO CHILL ON THE BENCH. 😂
Id take this Miami version of Bron over any player ever minus Shaq in his prime... Yup even over Jordan and Kobe simply because he can do everything they can do but he's also a team player. They became team players. Bron has always been that dude...
And I grew up in the Jordan era and was just as big a fan as anyone...
6:50 "Lebron's not the scorer that Carmelo is" LBJ proceeds to score and1 over 2 defenders 😂
12:49 great call from spo, great execution by james and chalmers and really poor defense from j.r. 😂
43:58 🤣😂 wide receiver still dropping dimes
Goatee lebron was different
Kd better than LeBron 💯
wow this is Gold. Thank you for uploading this...can you do one for their first ring together too? I subscribed! cheers
lebron's stare be like: imma bout to end Celtics career
He was on a mission! 😎
He's probably the only super star in NBA history to win championship in 3 different teams. Goat credentials!
1:26:42 huge pause
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Inevitable Bron
LeBron got to play off ball more during his 4-year stint with the Heat and didn't have to be the primary ball handler much of the time. Probably also helped him improve his defensive intensity not having to carry as much of the load offensively. He was ALL over the court in that legendary Game 6 against Boston controlling the game on both sides of the ball.
2020 LeBron Is My Favorite LeBron But 2012/2013 was something else🥶
This was the season before that
Ray Allen save LeBron ass his second ring
This will aways be the most stupidiest and ignorant comment @@JuwanTaylor-jz5zr
When his jumper is going…. Just go home.
An For The People Dat Say KD is better then LeBron This is proof of why he never was & Never will be💯💯💯
make one for d wade too bro
he just always looked so aggressive and ready when he was on the heat. it looked like he was trying to kill the opponent with every step he took.
Them boys was hoopin that year 🐐 squad
James really plays different with those red and black Miami jerseys, he looks like a nervous kid playing in those white jerseys
Huh😂?
The best team and best chemistry of MIAMI HEAT👍👍👍👍👍
Bron was a menace in 2012 🐐
Hello was determined to win 2012 unstoppable
