Great great video… only thing I felt kinda weird about is the warrior stuff. It’s just ambitious to call the warriors Bron victims. But I get the 16’ year. Good stuff
Lebron openly said that he hated the celtics because the fanbase called him any kind of racial slurs plus the sold Team logo Hoodies with f you bron. I Respect that.
As a Bulls fan I gotta point some things out. 1. Those games were closer than what they remember. It was only one blow out and that was game one where the Bulls won 103-82. Yeah MIA won the next 4 games but no blowouts. Game 2: 85-75, G3: 96-85, G4: 101-93 and G5 83-80. 2. After the series in 2015 they didn’t trade D-Rose during that offseason. They fired Thibs, hired Hoiberg missed the playoffs then they broke the team up. 3. Im sort of a LeBron hater so I gonna say that he committed a clear offensive foul shoving Jimmy Butler to hit that game winner, also that pay should’ve never happened because Blatt called a timeout and they had none left or a tech because he was all on the court after Rose’s lay up. But LeBron definitely kicked the Bulls ass over the years.
The only victims is us as consumers and viewers of the NBA. The product is watered down with people flocking to create super teams like KD, James Harden, Chris Paul, and of course LeBron. He literally took the saying "If you can't beat them join them" to heart and look where we are now lol. Everyone wants to take the easy route to join stars instead of grinding like the Warriors and Nuggets who drafts and trades for players with potential. When LeBron retires the NBA will reset itself back to the Kobe, Shaq, and Duncan era when everything is earned and not given to you.
You think shaq is a loyal individual? Lmfao 💀. And btw kobe requested a trade out of LA when they were in the dark times, without another star alongside him
I can 100% say if they played the warriors with kd they would lose every time the warriors are the only team I really think is unbeatable in the finals
No one can tell me KD joining the warriors wasn’t the most pathetic move in sports history and wasn’t strictly because of lebron beating the 73-9 warriors
I’m sorry I couldn’t watch the video after he said he could never be the underdog but he 4-6 in finals whether he believes he’s a underdog or not he underachieved in the finals 8 super teams and he’s 3-5 underachieved he can get every record he can that one thing he did do is underachieved in them finals did he have good games yes good series yes but the big boys always take it a level higher in those games he could easily be 6-4 7-3 8-2 2-8 or 1-9 but he do have some so I give him credit for the ones he do have
6:27 I hate how everyone says he choked. Nah. Miami management told him to play passive and LeBron being a people pleaser did in fact play passive in the hopes Miami would win anyways and Wade would win FMVP. The next off season Wade makes a very PUBLIC comment about handing LeBron the "keys" and the Heat went on a 27-0 streak and capped it off by winning a title with LeBron winning FMVP.
Bron has no victims lol Who he denied of rings so far? Curry got 3 of his 4 rings directly from Bron KD got his 2 rings from Bron Kawhi got 1 ring from Bron TD got 2 rings from Bron Dirk got his only ring from Bron So who are the victim of Bron?
Stop you know damn well 2 out of 3 for curry and kd is bs kd tucks his tail and runs in Bron shadow till this day it’s a reason why neither of them are considered on Bron level when it comes to all time rankings
it may sound asinine but Lebron playoff resume has been Underrated throughout his career. His 07 finals appearance clearly shows that if the F.O. had built an actual championship team around him that a ring or 2 was almost definite. Being able to look back with the knowledge of how long he has been elite and how many rings he has won despite like 4 of his finals losses having some legit unlucky breaks, this man could have easily won 6 or more rings. The man made 10 finals, and the conference being weak is not a good enough explanation as to why he went to 8 straight. thats just too many in a row and too many playoff series where someone couldve knocked him out for that weak conference shit to be a even a barely strong point. If he had rosters and coaches in his first cavs stint thats even remotely comparable to teams guys like magic larry kareem and jordan had along with what has happened post 2010, the man would have made like 12 finals and won like 6 rings minimum. I know thats assumption but it is very likely. His finals appearances are a key indicator of how much he couldve won with more luck on his side. Magic, bird, MJ, shaq, kobe never had to play a finals with their top 2 teammates out, never had to play a team as unstoppable as the warriors, never made a finals prematurely with a average team and having to play the best team in the entire league at age 21 with a weak roster, nor did they ever have to take a roster equivalent to cavs 2018 roster that was put together mid season to the finals to play an unstoppable team. He legit has 2 finals losses that are because he was so good he could take a team that had no business in the finals, to the finals having to play the best team in the entire nba. He had to face a celtics superteam in 08 and 2010 while having clearly the lesser roster yet taking them to 7 games in 2008. No one impacts a team, game, or series as much as bron. No other player is leading the cavs in 07 and 2018 to a finals berth and no other player is leading the 2009 and 2010 cavs to 60+ wins. just think about these things. Just basing his potential off of what we know now while assuming he has a level playing field in terms of luck and fate, he is legit a 6 to 7 ring, 4+ league MVP, 10+ finals appearances level player. He is literally best player the nba has ever seen
As a Bulls fan we know that the NBA likes to forget about 2015 game 4 of the quarterfinals the refs rigged that game for LeBron WE should've went to the finals that year against golden State
What a lotta ppl don’t mention is that David Blatt, Cavs coach in 2015, called a timeout without having any remaining in Game 4 of the second rd vs bulls. That shoulda been a tech on Cleveland and a free throw for Chicago but it didn’t happen. Then Lebron ends up hitting the Game Winner
I can only imagine how dumb and lame it would have been had they called the tech. That coach would have gone down as the biggest choker in playoff history. I’m glad LeBron got the shot off, and not let his own coach screw the series.
@@117Awesome okay cuz they had Durant, who is an overrated scorer who wanted to win the easy way. Okay, casual? That's why Curry will always be a victim to LeBron because of that 2023 playoffs as well, where the Lakers beat the Warriors in 6
Steph is 0-2 against LeBron in playoff series where the Warriors not Heavy Favorites Nice try Con men. LeBron owns Curry in competitive series. Nobody counts 2015, 2017 and 2018 you Snake
Nobody talked about how Wade and Bosh were both in a brink of decline before the Heat Big 3 was formed. -Wade had a serious shoulder injury in 2007 and had a serious knee injury during the Heat Big 3 era. Thats why he took the role of being Lebron's support because he wasnt the flash anymore. He lost his hops and lost his speed. (After Lebron left, Wade was already done) -Bosh also had a serious knee injury. He had 2 knee surgeries before joining Lebron and Wade. The reason why the Raptors release Bosh. (After Lebron left, Bosh was already done) This is the same reason why the Heat lost to the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs created a special Zone Defense to limit Lebron. They were double-teaming Lebron and choking his paint while leaving Wade and Bosh to score and carry the team. But their injuries limit their potential. They ignore to talk about this during the Heat Big 3 campaign because of the marketing value. Because it attracts media and attract fans to buy tickets. But in overall aspect, Lebron carried the Heat every season. It was his burden to help and save the careers of his friends.
The victims of James? The Cavs, the Heat, and now the Lakers are his victims. And all the head coaches he fired... And all the superstars he stole the spotlight from...
lebrons biggest victims are all the coaches and teammates from 2007/2008 onwards that were made scapegoats for his teams failures. notable examples from his first cleveland stint would be: - big z, mo williams, shaq, antawn jamison, varejao, mike brown (they were winning 60+ games so they probably did smthn right). notable examples from his miami days: - mostly wade and bosh who took huge hits to their reputations by agreeing to play second fiddle to lebron which has grown exponentially worse over the years so that now it seems that lebron carried that team while in reality it was three top 10 players (wade was on par with kobe and lebron during that time) in their prime joining forces. notable examples from his second cleveland stint: - love (26-15 guy that was made a glorified spot up shooter and a punchiing bag for every team failure); - irving (won THAT finals for cleveland, but you only hear that he left lebron); - david blatt and the front office whose only fault was that they built the SECOND MOST STACKED superteam in the fucking league instead of the FIRST. notable examples from his laker days: - davis who was and is the best player on the lakers during his time there, has to fight for scraps on offense while lebron gets his 27-7-7, has to carry the defense of the whole team while lebron stands under the basket acting like "rim protector" while conserving energy to stat pad on the more glamorous end, was the best player during the mickey mouse bubble championship but got shit recognition for it whose only fault is that he is very injury prone; - westbrook who to many basketball fans was known as westbrick even before, but it was made abundantly clear only after his selfish idiotic ways got in the way of the media darling lebron so they amplified every westbrickian bullshit and they completely destroyed his reputation so the guy went from a max player to a minimum contract guy; - carmelo whose only fault was not being able to turn into prime melo to bail out lebron so now he is completely out of the league even though he was willing to come of the bench and can definitely help a team even now because of his size and offensive abilities alone; - frank vogel who surprise surprise couldnt build a defense with an injured davis, couldnt make lebron even TRY on that end and couldnt find a place for an anomaly like westbrook who had the ego and contract of a megastar but the ability of a pornstar by blowing each game he played in, especially in the 4th quarter; - the front office whose only fault was that they listened to LeGM who wanted to stack the odds even more in his favour by bringing in a 3rd star and destroyed a championship roster with the westbrick trade instead of putting him in his place.
23:59 how come nobody mentions the loss of newly acquired Andrew Bogut in season opener in one of the most gruesome live television moments ever televised. Watching Andy break his leg on live television made my skin crawl the same way as watching Psycho Sid Vicious breaking his leg when he jumped off only the middle turnbuckle.
LeBron's and-1 against two Celtics players with one literally hanging onto his back just encapsulated LeBron's carry job in 2018. There had never been anyone who did more with less. Literally was dropping 40-pieces every other game to carry a team by himself to the finals.
As a Raptors fan, Lebron is still kind of a sleep paralysis demon for me, but that blow is definitely softened with the 2019 championship.
As a Warriors fan you earned that 2019 title fair and square, 2016 still stings me.

Rose was playing north or 40 minutes in that season and never really had a dip despite fantastic coaching targeting him for doubles and close outs. Go watch the games.
I love his videos best NBA Documentaries ever on YT
Yeah his videos are 🔥🔥🔥
I’m not a big basketball fan, but I’ll always watch Dylan’s videos. I wish he was into the NFL!!!
Love this sort of video; similar to Mike you can't understand just how good LBJ was unless you understand how legendary his competition is. It's been an incredible era of basketball, I hope the next is just as good.
Lebron: most playoff loses all-time ✔, most committed turnovers all-time ✔, most shots taken all-time (but he's pass 1st?) ✔, most missed shots all-time ✔, only player to be Swept in 3 finals series ✔ worst +/- in NBA finals history -86 ✔ 2nd worst NBA finals record all-time 4-6 ✔ that's not a top 5 player all-time......
@@thecall0ut you don’t know anything about basketball if you’re using those stats, he’s played for 20 years obviously he’s going to have taken the most shots, also finals record doesn’t mean anything if bron had 6/10 finals you’d still shit on him for it even though that means he didn’t lose in the playoffs,
@@TreyFigueroa You got your feelings hurt with facts and stats kid. Jordan has more accomplishments and doesn't have the failure Lebron has, but all you LeFlop fanboys have is excuses to Simp for you Diva Queen LeBum Blames. You don't know basketball boy, stick to Marvel.
@@TreyFigueroa What's Lebron's excuse for not being clutch like MJ or Kobe? That he's a better passer and all around player?
Lebron is 4th in Assists but has the MOST turnovers = 5049
Stockton 1st in Assist with turnovers = 4524
Kidd is 2nd in Assist with turnovers = 4003
CP3 is 3rd in Assist with turnovers = 2918
Nash is 5th in Assist with turnovers = 3478
WRONG fanboy. Lebron is a turnover machine, and he leads the League by 500+ turnovers more than the next ACTIVE player in Westbrook.

Great video! You should make this into a mini series, perhaps Jordan next
2011 against Mavs and 2014 against Spurs were the lowest moments in his career in my opinion.
2023 WCF was also embarassing. He had AD on his team and still got swept

Great great video… only thing I felt kinda weird about is the warrior stuff. It’s just ambitious to call the warriors Bron victims. But I get the 16’ year. Good stuff
Lebron openly said that he hated the celtics because the fanbase called him any kind of racial slurs plus the sold Team logo Hoodies with f you bron. I Respect that.
This video is just something of another world. Keep up the great work! I loved it!
6:22 The Pokémon legendary encounter music!!

Rival encounter from Pokemon Fire Red. You're welcome
I was excited to see another upload from you, thank you for always creating high quality deep dives.
As a Bulls fan I gotta point some things out.
1. Those games were closer than what they remember. It was only one blow out and that was game one where the Bulls won 103-82. Yeah MIA won the next 4 games but no blowouts. Game 2: 85-75, G3: 96-85, G4: 101-93 and G5 83-80.
2. After the series in 2015 they didn’t trade D-Rose during that offseason. They fired Thibs, hired Hoiberg missed the playoffs then they broke the team up.
3. Im sort of a LeBron hater so I gonna say that he committed a clear offensive foul shoving Jimmy Butler to hit that game winner, also that pay should’ve never happened because Blatt called a timeout and they had none left or a tech because he was all on the court after Rose’s lay up.
But LeBron definitely kicked the Bulls ass over the years.
The only victims is us as consumers and viewers of the NBA. The product is watered down with people flocking to create super teams like KD, James Harden, Chris Paul, and of course LeBron. He literally took the saying "If you can't beat them join them" to heart and look where we are now lol. Everyone wants to take the easy route to join stars instead of grinding like the Warriors and Nuggets who drafts and trades for players with potential. When LeBron retires the NBA will reset itself back to the Kobe, Shaq, and Duncan era when everything is earned and not given to you.
You think shaq is a loyal individual? Lmfao 💀. And btw kobe requested a trade out of LA when they were in the dark times, without another star alongside him

The use of the Pokémon music for the big 3 was a nice touch given the context of the elite 4 basically being the Pokémon big 3

Lebron Era: Warrior with most tittles kk
I can 100% say if they played the warriors with kd they would lose every time the warriors are the only team I really think is unbeatable in the finals

No one can tell me KD joining the warriors wasn’t the most pathetic move in sports history and wasn’t strictly because of lebron beating the 73-9 warriors

I’m sorry I couldn’t watch the video after he said he could never be the underdog but he 4-6 in finals whether he believes he’s a underdog or not he underachieved in the finals 8 super teams and he’s 3-5 underachieved he can get every record he can that one thing he did do is underachieved in them finals did he have good games yes good series yes but the big boys always take it a level higher in those games he could easily be 6-4 7-3 8-2 2-8 or 1-9 but he do have some so I give him credit for the ones he do have
6:27 I hate how everyone says he choked. Nah. Miami management told him to play passive and LeBron being a people pleaser did in fact play passive in the hopes Miami would win anyways and Wade would win FMVP.
The next off season Wade makes a very PUBLIC comment about handing LeBron the "keys" and the Heat went on a 27-0 streak and capped it off by winning a title with LeBron winning FMVP.
topic suggestion how did the detroit pistons fell this hard!??
That would be a good video
Nice vid mate
Bron has no victims lol
Who he denied of rings so far?
Curry got 3 of his 4 rings directly from Bron
KD got his 2 rings from Bron
Kawhi got 1 ring from Bron
TD got 2 rings from Bron
Dirk got his only ring from Bron
So who are the victim of Bron?
You're a fan of the LeBronto Raptors
Stop you know damn well 2 out of 3 for curry and kd is bs kd tucks his tail and runs in Bron shadow till this day it’s a reason why neither of them are considered on Bron level when it comes to all time rankings
D rose shooting 6.3 percent being guarded by Lebron is actually nuts

Babe wake up, Dylandoesbasketball just posted (I’m single)
I should DESPISE LeBron for demolishing the Bulls which is my favorite team, but I respect it
Dylan finally back
it may sound asinine but Lebron playoff resume has been Underrated throughout his career. His 07 finals appearance clearly shows that if the F.O. had built an actual championship team around him that a ring or 2 was almost definite. Being able to look back with the knowledge of how long he has been elite and how many rings he has won despite like 4 of his finals losses having some legit unlucky breaks, this man could have easily won 6 or more rings.
The man made 10 finals, and the conference being weak is not a good enough explanation as to why he went to 8 straight. thats just too many in a row and too many playoff series where someone couldve knocked him out for that weak conference shit to be a even a barely strong point. If he had rosters and coaches in his first cavs stint thats even remotely comparable to teams guys like magic larry kareem and jordan had along with what has happened post 2010, the man would have made like 12 finals and won like 6 rings minimum. I know thats assumption but it is very likely. His finals appearances are a key indicator of how much he couldve won with more luck on his side. Magic, bird, MJ, shaq, kobe never had to play a finals with their top 2 teammates out, never had to play a team as unstoppable as the warriors, never made a finals prematurely with a average team and having to play the best team in the entire league at age 21 with a weak roster, nor did they ever have to take a roster equivalent to cavs 2018 roster that was put together mid season to the finals to play an unstoppable team.
He legit has 2 finals losses that are because he was so good he could take a team that had no business in the finals, to the finals having to play the best team in the entire nba. He had to face a celtics superteam in 08 and 2010 while having clearly the lesser roster yet taking them to 7 games in 2008. No one impacts a team, game, or series as much as bron. No other player is leading the cavs in 07 and 2018 to a finals berth and no other player is leading the 2009 and 2010 cavs to 60+ wins. just think about these things. Just basing his potential off of what we know now while assuming he has a level playing field in terms of luck and fate, he is legit a 6 to 7 ring, 4+ league MVP, 10+ finals appearances level player. He is literally best player the nba has ever seen
Having the Song of Time from Zelda playing at the end was both hilarious and appropriate. Lmao.
As a Bulls fan we know that the NBA likes to forget about 2015 game 4 of the quarterfinals the refs rigged that game for LeBron WE should've went to the finals that year against golden State
It wasn't rigged, the refs just made a bad call
@@RyanLee-or4cj they could've reversed it though but they didn't because they wanted LeBron to go to the finals
What a lotta ppl don’t mention is that David Blatt, Cavs coach in 2015, called a timeout without having any remaining in Game 4 of the second rd vs bulls. That shoulda been a tech on Cleveland and a free throw for Chicago but it didn’t happen. Then Lebron ends up hitting the Game Winner
shocker
Steph a victim of him? Are your sure?
Only in 2016 and 2023, as a Warriors fan myself 😏. Steph has been a pretty minor victim of the King because of his own all time stats.

Awesome video mate
Bro was cooking up some diabolical heat with that title
lol why you say that
I see you live ninentendo Backgrounds
That game winning shot lebron took to tie it to 2-2 was supposed to be a tech by the coach calling a timeout without anymore😢
I can only imagine how dumb and lame it would have been had they called the tech. That coach would have gone down as the biggest choker in playoff history. I’m glad LeBron got the shot off, and not let his own coach screw the series.
Those David Blatt coaching days felt like a fever dream lmao.
Maybe I missed it but I don't think you mentioned Al Hereford, he has NEVER beaten LeBron in the playoffs with the Hawks or Celtics
Curry on the thumbnail when he took over “Brons era” is crazy
The disrespect is real, Tatum was a rookie too lol but he eventually made the finals. Like what

@@RyanLee-or4cj 2-0 now
Nobody talked about how Wade and Bosh were both in a brink of decline before the Heat Big 3 was formed.
-Wade had a serious shoulder injury in 2007 and had a serious knee injury during the Heat Big 3 era. Thats why he took the role of being Lebron's support because he wasnt the flash anymore. He lost his hops and lost his speed. (After Lebron left, Wade was already done)
-Bosh also had a serious knee injury. He had 2 knee surgeries before joining Lebron and Wade. The reason why the Raptors release Bosh. (After Lebron left, Bosh was already done)
This is the same reason why the Heat lost to the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs created a special Zone Defense to limit Lebron. They were double-teaming Lebron and choking his paint while leaving Wade and Bosh to score and carry the team. But their injuries limit their potential.
They ignore to talk about this during the Heat Big 3 campaign because of the marketing value. Because it attracts media and attract fans to buy tickets.
But in overall aspect, Lebron carried the Heat every season. It was his burden to help and save the careers of his friends.
The victims of James? The Cavs, the Heat, and now the Lakers are his victims. And all the head coaches he fired... And all the superstars he stole the spotlight from...
I bet you're a fan of a team called the LeBronto Raptors
lebrons biggest victims are all the coaches and teammates from 2007/2008 onwards that were made scapegoats for his teams failures.
notable examples from his first cleveland stint would be:
- big z, mo williams, shaq, antawn jamison, varejao, mike brown (they were winning 60+ games so they probably did smthn right).
notable examples from his miami days:
- mostly wade and bosh who took huge hits to their reputations by agreeing to play second fiddle to lebron which has grown exponentially worse over the years so that now it seems that lebron carried that team while in reality it was three top 10 players (wade was on par with kobe and lebron during that time) in their prime joining forces.
notable examples from his second cleveland stint:
- love (26-15 guy that was made a glorified spot up shooter and a punchiing bag for every team failure);
- irving (won THAT finals for cleveland, but you only hear that he left lebron);
- david blatt and the front office whose only fault was that they built the SECOND MOST STACKED superteam in the fucking league instead of the FIRST.
notable examples from his laker days:
- davis who was and is the best player on the lakers during his time there, has to fight for scraps on offense while lebron gets his 27-7-7, has to carry the defense of the whole team while lebron stands under the basket acting like "rim protector" while conserving energy to stat pad on the more glamorous end, was the best player during the mickey mouse bubble championship but got shit recognition for it whose only fault is that he is very injury prone;
- westbrook who to many basketball fans was known as westbrick even before, but it was made abundantly clear only after his selfish idiotic ways got in the way of the media darling lebron so they amplified every westbrickian bullshit and they completely destroyed his reputation so the guy went from a max player to a minimum contract guy;
- carmelo whose only fault was not being able to turn into prime melo to bail out lebron so now he is completely out of the league even though he was willing to come of the bench and can definitely help a team even now because of his size and offensive abilities alone;
- frank vogel who surprise surprise couldnt build a defense with an injured davis, couldnt make lebron even TRY on that end and couldnt find a place for an anomaly like westbrook who had the ego and contract of a megastar but the ability of a pornstar by blowing each game he played in, especially in the 4th quarter;
- the front office whose only fault was that they listened to LeGM who wanted to stack the odds even more in his favour by bringing in a 3rd star and destroyed a championship roster with the westbrick trade instead of putting him in his place.
Preach 🙏
The fact that Steph hasn't beaten lebron since KD left really says a lot.
lol it doesn’t say anytbing💀….
The fact Steph returned to the finals and won without KD…….
Didn’t Bron Have AD on his team?? 😂😂
23:59 how come nobody mentions the loss of newly acquired Andrew Bogut in season opener in one of the most gruesome live television moments ever televised.

LeBron James has won 41 playoff series, only 11 of them vs 50 win teams.
"Only" is absolutely insanity. Is your brain working?
LeBron's and-1 against two Celtics players with one literally hanging onto his back just encapsulated LeBron's carry job in 2018. There had never been anyone who did more with less. Literally was dropping 40-pieces every other game to carry a team by himself to the finals.
