    Im puttin it out there for the entire internet 2 see. "This is easily one of if not the best mini documentaries Ive seen on Lebron" Amazing work, amazing editing, perfect visuals 2 back up the stories by the guys who lived it.
    This 100% will be a rewatch for me and Im 100% subscribing.
    Great work Mr. Smith...

      It is the same logic those 2016 Warriors detractors say who were 73-9. Because they lost they werent great. No- they were great, they just ran into LEBRON F****** JAMES.

    No matter the system, no matter the teammates [ all star or not ] , LeBron James finds a way to win and carry the team to the finals when they have no reason to make the finals, and people want to question his winning attitude and mentality or even his skill. People want to talk about his finals record without even assessing what led to the losses. This man is greatness, just like the 90's credited MJ, we should credit LBJ, we should be proud of our generation's talent. that's just me though.

      Top 3 all time isn't that bad. It's the safest answer too without hurting other fans of other greats lol. Just imagine if he blatantly said that Bron is his GOAT then imagine how MJ and Kobe fans would react against him. DeMar obviously doesn't care at all, but what if Kyle does and he doesn't want that scrutiny especially in social media. So I understand him there.

They upset by the Mavs. So actually the players u claimed as stacked didnt perform as stacked. Go check accolades of bron teammates. Wont equal stacked. U looking at wade n kyrie. But bosh has only all star games. Love has less AS games and 1yr rb champ. Chk accolades for bulls 96-98. Put Kobe n Shaqs accolades side by side. Scariest ish ever. Put GS with KD. U dont know what stacked really is.
