- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- After the team's playoff appearance in 1998, however, the Cavs had six consecutive losing seasons with no playoff action. Cleveland was awarded with the top overall pick in the 2003 draft, and they selected LeBron James. Behind James and Zydrunas Ilgauskas, the Cavaliers again became a regular playoff contender by 2005. They made their first appearance in the NBA Finals in 2007 after winning the first Eastern Conference championship in franchise history. After failing to return to the NBA Finals in the ensuing three seasons, James joined the Miami Heat in 2010.

@Gyro oh I didn’t see that sorry
Great! that 2008-09 Cleveland was a juggernaut! 66 wins! sadly, Orlando ruined our only chance for a Kobe vs Lebron Finals
Yeah man. What could have been
Dwight was a beast though and he got 4 shooters around him
same, I was also surprised to see Cleveland's record in 2008-2009 could be 66-16, even surpassing the Lakers record that year with 65-17
@@muhammadhabibfahrezidaulay557 lebron was that dude also Kobe missed some games
lebron was lucky enough that year not to reach the finals.. that will only add up to his loss in the finals..
None of those Cavs teams would’ve even won 20 games without LeBron and he carried them to the finals at 22 years old. Blaming him for the team’s failures was the dumbest thing ever
True man
No one blames him for that series against the Spurs. He lost but more people were surprised they got the Pistons. What he doesn't get an excuse for is losing to a lesser team while being up 2-1 against the Mavs and disappearing in the the fourth quarter.
Lebron average almost 39 points in the ECF and still lost that’s crazy
that's how monster LBJ in his early 20s
💪💪💪
Well he had bums on his team
@@dxtroitlxckz2kofficial62 ilstaukus was literally an all star. Def not a bum and neither was boozer
@@justinholland6132 LeBron made them an All Star thats how good he is
Love him or hate him, only one things for sure we're all gonna miss him when he retires and one of the best to ever do it
Agree with you man
Not all, don't speak for everyone just to dickride another man
Nope not at all

YOU ACTUALLY DID IT LETS GO!!
Man this will be painful at points but I cannot wait to see these timeliness! GO Cavs!
🔥🔥🔥

LeBron blocks a shot while 3 teammates wipe themselves out. The perfect example of Cleveland at the time
😲😲😲
To me the biggest mistake Lebron made(although not on purpose) is winning too much in his early years.
Two straight 9th seed( which is literally the worst scenario)
Just watch Durant's career, do your own things, grow as an individual then get high picks which turned to be 2 top 5 drafts.
Imagine the same thing happening with lebron it would be lebron(03) with CP3 or deron8, just imagine that.
Magic entered the league for a team that had Kareem and then drafted Worthy. Kobe had Shaq.Even MJ got Pippen who was a fifth pick in the draft.
And Cavs never really gave him enough help.When the 3-headed Celtics beat Lebron and Mo Williams they criticized lebron.But when Lebron chose his own fate and had his own 3, he was the one who chose the easy way LMAO
Yes , cuz other greats in history were already given an easier way, just give Lebron a prime shaq or a prime Kareem or like the old Celtics which had hall of famers off the bench.
Yeah man. If LeBron had a superstar teammate in his early years, maybe he won a chip during that time
@@jaywarvz Or even just Boozer if only he didn't pull that sh%t
And Rob Pelinka was his agent back then and now he's f^^king up Lebron's career again
Yo it’s sad that us Cavs are bad front office overall. We could have supported LeBron with Andre miller, Jamal Crawford, Carlos boozer, Michael redd, and Rajon rondo. Instead we supported LeBron with Darius miles, Chris mihm, donyell marshall, and jiri welsch
@@Cavaliers71 Delonte West, Wally Szczerbiak, and Jeff Green to the Seattle Supersonics in exchange for Ray and Glen "Big Baby" Davis.
Do those players sound familiar? Imagine Cavs pulled a deal to land prime Ray with Lebron. Instead what did he get? He asked for Kidd and then got Mo(not bad but still)
@@jaywarvz yeah big Z was already past his prime by the time LeBron was carrying the team so he wasn’t really a big star anymore.
Wizards:Make the playoffs
Lebron: No
😂😂😂
Do the part 2:
"I'm coming home." The return of LeBron winning the championship as the CAVS BIG 3. Following that timeline is rebuilding as East Contenders today (2022) after the rise and fall of Cavs Big 3 Era and without Lebron again.
agree
Sure will do man
please do part 2 the Cavs without LeBron James and the return of LeBron in Cavs, thanks man!
Sure man
Also They Won a Championship In 2016
Yeah
Those teams were dreadful. Ilgauskas was good but nobody else was. He dragged them to the finals SOMEHOW. That is greatness.
💪💪💪
So Mo Williams, Antwan Jamison, a young Danny green, Shaq, Larry Hughes are nobody’s? You obviously didn’t watch Old Shaq play a prime Dwight. Explain Larry Hughes and Antwan getting better the second they went to the Wizards after being with Lebron too. Lebron is Fraudulent.
mo williams was good made all star
@@lilyounggamer he was good for one year. This just shows how bad of an organization the Cavs are without Lebron.
@@Blackmagic_874 yeah that haven’t been good without lebron since Mark Price
Imo, Cavs did what they could and Bron maxed his potential given the pieces he had. However, the FO just wasn’t smart.
Letting CBooz walk was devastating.
Then not going for the Amare trade cuz they thought JJ Hickson was too vital l!
Bron tried to get guys to play with him but they declined cuz they didn’t want to play in Cleveland.
I remember Chris Bosh say “ I AM NOT GOIN TO CLEVELAND!”
I agree with you man. It's the reason why LeBron left
No one wants to go to Cleveland. That time it was the high violent crime rate and some residents are living in poverty.
The things he did with team is amazing, Jordan didn't win before pippen and grant came along and LeBron got finals with all role players
Agree with you man
Because he faced the detriot and and Celtics when the east was the best. During young LeBron Era the east was the worst it had ever been
Plus how is an all star a role player? Illgauskus was an all stsr
@@justinholland6132 being an all star doesn’t mean you’re a star player, for example last year mike and Rudy and even Ben was all star. And dbook didn’t make the original list last year or trae and look what they did last year vs the other three. Look at draymond, being an all star doesn’t make you a great player especially when it’s one time or two.
@@ChanBoogie310 rudy,draymomd, and ben are stars. I get it just because you think defense and not just scoring points are irrelevant doesn't make your opinion valid. Those guys are multiple time all stars. Also trae and booker both have just 1 all star selection, and they are stars so that completely contradicts your point
I like how when LeBron left the Cavs, Ilgauskas went with him!
🔥🔥🔥
High quality as always Jay. Respect.
Very much appreciated man
Rookie Bron is Menace! And the LeGM is born.
🔥🔥🔥
yes finally, thank you for this video man!
Welcome man!
Love your videos man. Keep doing what you do!
Thanks a lot man
The Celtics in 08 almost lost to a 45 win team that's crazy
lol that Celtics nearly lost a 8th seed Hawks who won less than 45 wins, that Celtics were too overrated
@@itachi-kun7736 🤦♂️and Celtics fans are outchea saying they would win the 09 finals if kg was healthy
@@dipe6376 Boston was fraudulent and overrated yes but if KG was healthy the Magic and Fraudulent Cavs would lose to them, the East was DOGWATER, and Lebron is Fraudulent. He clearly had the best team in 2009, that’s pathetic, and 2010 if you’re the MVP on the 1Seed you gotta get the job done. Old Shaq was still giving prime Dwight double doubles the only paint threat in the conference. And Mike Brown was a good coach too. These Lebron Dick licks need to understand all those trades were good moves.
Tough east? Lol
@@itachi-kun7736 KG and Paul Pierce act as if they had a dynasty.
Another good video from you Jay also can you do a Utah Jazz timeline with Karl Malone and John Stockton?
Sure man. Thanks for the support always!
that's gonna be a long video from 1985-2003
This is my request thank you so much❤️❤️❤️more power to your channel bru
Thanks a lot man
I was waiting so long for this. U are the best 😍😍✌✌
Thanks a lot man
LeBron changed the face of the franchise
🔥🔥🔥
Great vid! I think Grizzlies's rebuild would be super interesting even though it'll be a short one!
Sure man
Love your content bro
Thanks man
It is funny how Michael Jordan was a Cavalier’s killer but LeBron James since he got drafted became a Bull’s killer.
😲😲😲
Wiz's killer too
2009 nba finals should be the 1st time ever matchup of lebron's cavs against kobe's lakers.. but eventually the gods of basketball didn't give us the long waited finals game :(
😐😐😐
Good video like always sir💯 I’m still butthurt that we never saw Kobe/LeBron Finals in 09/10 14 and 15 year old me wanted that matchup so bad back then
Could have been a legendary series man
It's actually NUTS looking back at those teams, and people debating on if he could lead them to a title. Like, bro, except for Ilgauskas, that team was straight up garbage. There's no way you're winning with that line-up. That's where the Cavs epically failed and I feel LeBron got way more heat than he should've. It all worked out in the end, but we all know he could've been a Cav for life if the team had just built good pieces around him.
I agree with you man
What other Team was even a threat besides Boston in 2008 and 2010 for him to beat? You’re so casual acting like Antwan Jamison, even old Shaq, Mo Williams, Big Z, Larry Hughes were bad, they were all quality adds around him, they didn’t miss on a single trade. 2009 is a horrible choke job on Lebron. And 2010 if you’re the reigning MVP with the 1 seed get it done. Ridiculous, choke artist, And Mike Brown is a good coach too. And they had young Danny Green too which wasn’t showed in this video
@@Rebel-eq7ul stfu you’re really bringing mo Williams, an old shaq and Antwan Jamison? Really? Lebron literally averaged 39 points a game in the conference finals vs the magic, how is that a choke job? I’ll give you 2010 but don’t be dumb and act like he choked in 2009 because no he didn’t. How tf is 39 points per game in the conference finals choking?
@@Rebel-eq7ul Are we watching the same video here or did u not see Larry Hughes Atrocious stats in playoffs. 12 points on 34 fg% as ur second option. Moe Williams that if he’s on a contender he’s not even a 6th man? Antwan Jamison that was a scorer and that’s pretty much it? OMG. OLD SHAQ. ELITE HELP. Cut the shit. Cavs gave lebron bench players as his second and 3rd option and rookie Danny green? Man gtfo 🤣🤣. I hope u have this same type of energy when Jordan was loosing in the playoffs constantly. And let’s really talk about it since he’s a “choke artist” Go look at all the closing games in the loses. It’s only 1 game where he “underperformed”. But u not gonna talk about Moe Williams his second option having 9 points in game 5 in 2010. Tf outta here
@@wooiiin7281 Old Shaq gave Prime Dwight double doubles and Larry Hughes was a quality before and after being teammates with Lebron look at the stats. Stop ignoring metrics bozo. You’re a Bronsexual. Stop D riding a choke artist, no other great choke back to back years as a 1Seed especially being in a weak ass conference.
I remember the Cavs declining a potential Amare' Stoedemire trade cause they didnt wanna trade JJ Hickson lmao
😂😂😂
Great video
Thanks man
Another Nice Video bro ☺️🔥
Thanks a lot!
man i love your video..
Thanks man
THE TIMELINE THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
🔥🔥🔥
Jay I got a request how about the 76ers rebuild from champ contender to playoff team? If it happened try magic from shaq to Dwight
Sure man
Just wanted to say liked, subbed, deserved I can't imagine how hard u work fam nothing but love cuh 💪
Very much appreciated man
Boozer didn't keep his word on resigning with the Cavs and signed with Jazz, had he stayed with LeBron, that would've been a powerful 1-2 punch.
Then in 2005 free agency they went hard after Joe Johnson who wanted to be the main guy on his own team, and then settled down on Larry Hughes who was a bad fit next to Lebron although he wanted Hughes specifically, they should've pushed harder for an Ohio native Michael Redd who actually wanted to come to Cleveland.
Oh thanks for these additional info man
The fact he was even able to compete with this team not having no true second star (while they was playing with him) or a perennial all-star like player with superstar potential. Just shocks me he showed that he can perform with a not so great team and what he could do when he got teammates.
He won two times on one superteam(heat) And the two he had a good star partner and a solid supporting cast.
💪💪💪
Newly subbed. You deserve it
Thanks a lot man
Let me tell you guys.
Melo's nuggets in that era is so good because they have great starters and good bench.
Wade's heat in that era is also good because they have great foundation, that included in acquirement of Shaq.
But Lebron's cavs is all about Lebron. He is, without a doubt, the greatest cavalier. He could carry a team when his teammates are not supporting him.
Besides, Cavs' draft is so terrible
Shaq wasn't even that good on the heat. He was out of shape and had injury issues.
I agree with you man. LeBron can literally carry a team
@@tj5180 He was still a great player he was a mvp candidate his first yr.
@@controversialmann5345 nowhere near great he was mvp in 2005 but what else ? He was out of shape and was declining also injuries
@@tj5180 He was still better than he was in Cleveland
it really sucks how he wasted those 7 years in Cleveland without any help from the board
People criticize Lebron fans for crying for help during those years when they support someone that came into the league with a prime shaq or some team with 3 all stars who were still in their prime.
True man
Overrated legend
Lebron clearly had all star help it just lebron choked and disappear. Pierce cooked lebron in those playoffs
Another great vudeo
Thanks man
Thanks bro!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Not to mention Larry Hughes was hurt in the finals that was his 2nd option.
True man
Lebrons first stint in Cleveland he was the ONLY star on the team, he literally had absolutely nobody to help him. Ilgauskas and Hughes.......thats it lol.
With Mo and old Shaq lol
mo williams
I actually prefer this LeBron. He's young, hungry, strong in the paint, and so quick in transition.
💪💪💪
Thanks bro.
🔥🔥🔥
I always thought that not getting Michael Redd in a trade was a big blow! LeBron really wanted to team up with him
True man
This one is great ❤
Thanks man
great video
question though: who was the 2007 1st round pick they traded?
Rudy fernandez
"He isn't a winner"... Jesus I just hate Skip, dude talks trash about a player trying to carry the whole team to a championship... Yes Skip, Lebron is a winner, The Cavs were not..
I really liked The Cavs when Gund got it from Ted Stepien, who was definitely the worst owner of all time, they could've won a championship if it wasn't for the FBI investigating Ron Harper and his friends for drug charges.. Gordon got really pissed and forced Embry to trade him for literally nothing...
Tbh they should've been a contender even before Gund, but Stepien traded every future All-Star players they had. The whole team was just a trainwreck, and when he was critisized he almost relocated the team to Canada... 😂 Dude was petty af
Ohh thanks for that additional info man
You should make a part 2 on how cavs won a title and lost Lebron again
Sure man
Brought back great memories
😍😍😍
Im waiting this yes
🔥🔥🔥
They reach Finals since 2006 (if am wrong) bruh SAS takes all the points but in game 3 in Finals they almost take a 1 point but its a 3 point game 82-85
The scores were actually close
2007 cavs were a great defensive and rebounding team. Idk why bron fans don't mention that. They also gave Duncan problems in that series.
The SAS have better offense and defense so Bron and the Cavs dodnt have advantage
nice man,noww cavs part 2 2010-2022 fail to rise
Yes man
Bron made the finals without a Pippen… Jordan couldn’t make it out the first round without a Pippen.
😱😱😱
I’m sorry for not watching but another banger
Hey thanks for the support

Against nobody in the East and anybody who was somebody in the East was hurt, even in 2009 he had a better chance than 2007 with weak opposition and opposition injuries and he choked then. Pathetic.

@@jaywarvz Cavs got a bright future they are proving the haters wrong 💪💯
The reaction to him leaving was so stupid lmao that cavs team was trash and he had to leave otherwise he would have wasted his prime.
😂😂😂
the start of the video sounded like a rap song
🔥🔥🔥
AT LAST! THE KING!!
🔥🔥🔥
The cavs did have a pretty good amount of stars during lebrons years there but none of those stars were really good enough to help Lebron
Agree with you
He had some decent role players around him i wouldn‘t call any of them stars
He had a decent roster but they had a chance to get a 2nd star like amare but Gilbert rejected it
yea maybe if Carlos Boozer stayed, Lebron would had a decent second option...
I dont think Ilgauskas and Mo Williams can be considered as stars although they became all stars because of their record, they are better to be 3rd or 4th option tbh
Can you do a timeline of Kyrie Irving pls
Yes man
3:05 who's again the 07 1st round pick?
Rudy fernandez
its easily understandable to ppl who do not use English as the Mother tounge like me
🔥🔥🔥
„we win an NBA championship” that aged like a very very fine wine from Italy
😂😂
This is a nice reminder that he had little help in Cleveland.
Indeed
Seeing Stephen a Smith in 2005 felt weird. Bro still had no hairline

5:11 How good was defense back then, the final score 61 and 79😂
