Wade and Bosh were both washed by then to be fair. The only playoff run where they were a truly elite big 3 was ironically the one that they lost 😂 Russ and Harden were better than Wade and Bosh by 2012.

Everyone talks about Ray Allen 3, but no one talks about Bosh's clutch offensive rebound/assist to Ray Allen. Mr Double Double over here getting disrespected until the Heat players came out on their podcasts to give this man his flowers. Absolute offensive glue on that team.
@@Onepiecepeakfiction ok? Bosh grabbed 7 boards and a few assists, playing 27 or so mins. Ray Allen didn't even play half the game and got 4 and 4. Both Bosh and Allen combined for less than 10 attempts at the basket and let Battier, Wade, Bron, and Chalmers take over scoring for one game. What's your point
Kwahi makes me so mad. Not because I hate him or anything. But him being healthy literally changes a decade or basketball. I can’t say that about about penny, t Mac, rose, or hill but kwahi!!! Things look much different if he’s healthy for a decade
@@life0093 you also forget that he was becoming the spurs franchise player before he got hurt. Everybody else retired and kwahi was the best player on the team
Idk what worst, having a patch of hair at the front back then or having a super duper bald spot in the back now🥴 obviously his hair situation did not get fixed
@user-be7tc2bd6e I will be forever grateful to Kawhi for winning a championship with my Raptors .... Wishing you a wonderful day from Ontario Canada ✌️
TP was not a pass first PG he scored in the paint more efficiently than just about any other small guards in the league. His passing came from what was created off ball or off of his dribble pressure. Don't box this dude
Probably but he still would have made it difficult. LeBron just isn't a very good player. Needs to league to fluff up his stats and not call his fouls.
I doubt that,Kawhi would've-LOCKED-Kobe up too,like he did Lebron. LOL. Prime Kobe got out-played by Tyshaun ( plus Prince locked him up ) Prince in that Piston's finals. What happened to the black mamba in that Piston's series ??? Kawhi would've had Kobe shooting the ball over 30 times ( making Kobe take all kinds of bad shots ) just to average 20 pts.
it is because Kawhi Leonard has the DNA and Playing Mentality of Jordan and Pippen from the 90s as one of the Greatest Defenders- DENNIS The Wurm RODMAN once said, LeFlop James is so Predictable.. His Physical Built was just for a Display tsk tsk tsk
Clearly not because kawhi isn’t a leader and guess what mj, pippen nor lbj have ever blown a 3-1 while blowing multiple double digit leads in each game including game 7 then get blown out in that same game 7
📌 *Me for All Bronsexuals to See* 2014 Finals; Lebalco LeStatpad vs 16ppg Kawhi; Games 3-4-5 Lebron scored 51 of his 81 points (63%) being down 15+ Leonard scored 27 of his 71 points (38%) being up 15+ Leonard outscored Lebron 44-30 in non-blowout situations Leonard 23.7 ppg on 69% LeBron 27.0 ppg on 55% (Leonard 14% more efficient) And again, Lebron stats were heavily padded in garbage time, in non blowout situations Leonard outscored him Leonard 9.3 rpg LeBron 7.7 rpg Leonard 2.0 spg LeBron 1.7 spg Leonard 2.0 bpg LeBron 0.7 bpg Leonard 2.3 apg with 1.7 TOpg LeBron 4.7 apg with 3.7 TOpg Leonard had a slightly better ast:TO ratio Through games 3-4-5, Leonard scored much more efficiently (and more in non blowout situations) and outrebounded, outstole, and outblocked Lebron with a better ast:TO ratio Game 3 Lebron had 14 points and 0 TO in first quarter, then 8 points and 7 TOs for the last 3 quarters. LeBron had 22-5-7-5 with 7 TOs on 64%, Wade had 22-4-2-2 with 5 TOs on 67%. But over the last 3 quarters, LeBron had 8 points and 7 TOs to Wade's 20 points and 3 TOs. The Heat cut the lead from 15 to 9 without LeBron, after Wade subbed in for him, from the 5:00 to 1:00 mark of the 3rd quarter, but even with that help LeBron still lost. Game 4 Lebron had 9 points in first half and the Heat were blown out by 19 at halftime. He padded his stats from there, and he did not score on Leonard in the first half. Game 5 Lebron had 1 FG in 2nd quarter (2:30 mark) to bring the Heat within 5. Then he did not score again until the Heat were down 21 with 4:40 in the 3rd. LeBron shot 1-6 against Leonard this game. Leonard clearly outplayed Lebron over the final 3 games, even with Lebron padding his stats, and Lebron failed to score consistently until after his teams were getting blown out. LeBron did not play well in the 2014 Finals after Game 2, he only padded his stats. LeBron's 2014 Finals was a repeat of the 2011 Finals after Game 2, the only differences being that LeBron's teammates disappeared along with him, and LeBron padded his stats to save face. So any notion that LeBron had an "amazing" series, and still lost because of his teammates is false. LeBron failed his team over the Final 3 games, and that's why he lost. He did not contribute offensively or defensively. The Spurs did have great offensive execution in this series, but a lot of that had to do with the poor defensive leadership of LeBron, who got exposed by Kawhi Leonard. Remember, this is the same Spurs team that went 7 games against a top 10 worst defense in the league, the 8-seed Mavericks. They were far from an invincible team. In those last 3 games, Leonard outrebounded, outblocked, outstole Lebron, scored MUCH more efficiently (14% FG higher than Lebron) and Lebron committed more than twice as many turnovers. In Game 3, LeBron had 14 points in the 1st quarter, then 8 points and 7 turnovers in the last 3 quarters. In Game 4, LeBron had 9 points in the first half, and they were blown out by 19 at that point, from where he padded his stats The reason the Heat lost the 2014 Finals is because of their pathetic defense. If the defensive leader, who was supposedly 2nd place in DPOY and "guards 1-5" isn't playing defense, how do you expect the rest of the Heat to follow suit? Getting outplayed in the last 3 games by a role player doesn't help your team AT ALL. Also, whereas Lebron could never guard Leonard, Leonard held Lebron to 1-6 shooting in Game 5 when he guarded him. In Game 5 Lebron had 1 FG in the 2nd quarter (2:30 mark) to bring the Heat within 5, and never scored again until the Spurs were up 21 with 4:40 left in the 3rd - definition of stat padding and not delivering when it mattered. In the 4 combined Heat losses, Lebron scored 48% of his points when the Spurs were up 15+. Definitely not delivering the numbers when he needed to.
It’s funny you say that but yet lbj still averaged his playoff average that’s not outplaying him. What makes this even more funny why couldn’t kawhi do this 2020
Full disclosure.. IM BY NO MEANS A LBJ FAN.. as a matter of fact, I think he is annoying as hell… but Kawhi Leonard is like made out of glass in NBA standards.
Kawhi didn’t even average 20 points you can’t say he outplayed lbj he held lbj to his career playoff average. The heat just broke down physically they barely beat the spurs the year prior now all of a sudden kawhis the best player let’s be serious
I thought this was y'all's goat. I thought he was the best player in the world. It look like he just had some regrets just because somebody checked in the game. I ain't never seen Michael Jordan do that. I have never seen Wilt Chamberlain, magic Johnson, Larry Bird, or any of the other great players that wasn't even in to goat category do that. I thought you guys said that the '80s and '90s players were bombs and plumbers and drunks and now y'all even calling them cokeheads. I've never seen them regret the fact that another player came in. Even when they saw Mike get in the game. They didn't cringe they was upset but they didn't cringe and curse. They just took their medicine like a man. They knew what Mike was going to do to him but they tried to show no fear. That man literally regretted the moment that Kauai stepped back in that game That's when you know you're not dealing with a champion LeBron has never been a champion, the media and the lebroniacs made him this supposed to be goat. That's why he can't stand up to the test of being the goat. And now we find out a little while ago that the man man has been using steroids the whole time. People wondering how is he able to be there 20 years. His longevity man he's on steroids. Anybody taking that would be there that long? I couldn't imagine if Michael Jordan was taking steroids. He would have been there for 50 years. He done went straight from the hardwood floors of the NBA to the grave. That's how long he would have been there cuz you imagine magic Johnson and Larry Bird on steroids. Could you imagine Isaiah Thomas on steroids right? This dude ain't no goat
Am sorry, but according to who are the Miami Heat one of the greatest team of all time they got embarrassed by the Dallas Mavericks a team that had no business beating the Heat then thanks to Ray Allen they got lucky and after that they got nuke by the Spurs they got nuke so bad that LeBron tuck his tail between his legs and went back home

2013 was Batman and Flash and Daredevil.
And Ray Allen as the Arrow.
My fav player all time Kawhi Leonard
He destroyed them throughout the whole 2014 NBA finals
bron looks a lot like shanon shapre wearing those glasses🤣🤣
It’s gonna cool to see them on team USA together
Everyone talks about Ray Allen 3, but no one talks about Bosh's clutch offensive rebound/assist to Ray Allen. Mr Double Double over here getting disrespected until the Heat players came out on their podcasts to give this man his flowers. Absolute offensive glue on that team.
Did u know they both scored 0 points that very next game a game 7 of the finals that rebound and shot must’ve wore them out
@@Onepiecepeakfiction ok? Bosh grabbed 7 boards and a few assists, playing 27 or so mins.
Ray Allen didn't even play half the game and got 4 and 4.
Both Bosh and Allen combined for less than 10 attempts at the basket and let Battier, Wade, Bron, and Chalmers take over scoring for one game. What's your point
Very first bron stopper. Jj hold my beer.
stopped bron to 28, 8, 4 on 57/51/79! locked him up fr!
The way MJ looks at Kawhi tells you everything you need to know.
Didn’t I watch this earlier? 😂lol 🤔
Thanks for rewatching! 🫡
LeBron was not at all Batman in Miami. That was Wade. LeBron unquestionably was the Robin.
You can’t say that with a straight face
Heat fan here , bron was Batman wade was robin especially after 2011

Kwahi makes me so mad. Not because I hate him or anything. But him being healthy literally changes a decade or basketball. I can’t say that about about penny, t Mac, rose, or hill but kwahi!!! Things look much different if he’s healthy for a decade

I’ll give you that. That 2019 Raptors run was amazing
Yea we would
Popovich doesn’t like high usage rates on his superstars Kawhi could’ve averaged way more points in that series but just wasn’t required.
Idk what worst, having a patch of hair at the front back then or having a super duper bald spot in the back now🥴 obviously his hair situation did not get fixed
Klaw would lock MJ up too
He still is the best 2 way player
“Destroyed” lol. He was great, though
Lmao kids these days will say any dumb shit to get clicks.
When you have to drive through Kawhi into Tim Duncan (even past his prime) and your name is not MJ, you are screwed!
2014 NBA Finals spurs won because
1.Wade is no longer at his prime
2. Pops out coach, spop
Let's go Brandon!
Let's Go Brandon I agree
Mr. Load Management
That's so true and funny also.
@user-be7tc2bd6e I will be forever grateful to Kawhi for winning a championship with my Raptors .... Wishing you a wonderful day from Ontario Canada ✌️
@@Systematic_GT Wishing you a good day from Texas amigo. I'm glad Kawhi won a chip for the Raptors too.
Three-peats didn't happen on Kawhi's watch.
Until Zaza happens.....
TP was not a pass first PG he scored in the paint more efficiently than just about any other small guards in the league. His passing came from what was created off ball or off of his dribble pressure. Don't box this dude
Without pops, tim and Parker. Kawhi is cant make it.
2020 in Clippers hahaaha
Kawhi was much better than Lebron
So what else is new
Dam yall hate Chris Bosh dat bad smh
Lebron is just bagless. Prime Kobe would've dropped 30+ on Kawhi
Probably but he still would have made it difficult. LeBron just isn't a very good player. Needs to league to fluff up his stats and not call his fouls.
But yet lebron crushed Kobe head to head
It’s a very good player your a fool
And still lost
I doubt that,Kawhi would've-LOCKED-Kobe up too,like he did Lebron. LOL. Prime Kobe got out-played by Tyshaun ( plus Prince locked him up ) Prince in that Piston's finals. What happened to the black mamba in that Piston's series ??? Kawhi would've had Kobe shooting the ball over 30 times ( making Kobe take all kinds of bad shots ) just to average 20 pts.
Prime DROSE and Kawhi would kick the wannabe king and dwade.
it is because Kawhi Leonard has the DNA and Playing Mentality of Jordan and Pippen from the 90s
as one of the Greatest Defenders- DENNIS The Wurm RODMAN once said, LeFlop James is so Predictable..
His Physical Built was just for a Display
tsk tsk tsk
Clearly not because kawhi isn’t a leader and guess what mj, pippen nor lbj have ever blown a 3-1 while blowing multiple double digit leads in each game including game 7 then get blown out in that same game 7
📌 *Me for All Bronsexuals to See* 2014 Finals; Lebalco LeStatpad vs 16ppg Kawhi;
Games 3-4-5
Lebron scored 51 of his 81 points (63%) being down 15+
Leonard scored 27 of his 71 points (38%) being up 15+
Leonard outscored Lebron 44-30 in non-blowout situations
Leonard 23.7 ppg on 69%
LeBron 27.0 ppg on 55%
(Leonard 14% more efficient)
And again, Lebron stats were heavily padded in garbage time, in non blowout situations Leonard outscored him
Leonard 9.3 rpg
LeBron 7.7 rpg
Leonard 2.0 spg
LeBron 1.7 spg
Leonard 2.0 bpg
LeBron 0.7 bpg
Leonard 2.3 apg with 1.7 TOpg
LeBron 4.7 apg with 3.7 TOpg
Leonard had a slightly better ast:TO ratio
Through games 3-4-5, Leonard scored much more efficiently (and more in non blowout situations) and outrebounded, outstole, and outblocked Lebron with a better ast:TO ratio
Game 3
Lebron had 14 points and 0 TO in first quarter, then 8 points and 7 TOs for the last 3 quarters. LeBron had 22-5-7-5 with 7 TOs on 64%, Wade had 22-4-2-2 with 5 TOs on 67%. But over the last 3 quarters, LeBron had 8 points and 7 TOs to Wade's 20 points and 3 TOs. The Heat cut the lead from 15 to 9 without LeBron, after Wade subbed in for him, from the 5:00 to 1:00 mark of the 3rd quarter, but even with that help LeBron still lost.
Game 4
Lebron had 9 points in first half and the Heat were blown out by 19 at halftime. He padded his stats from there, and he did not score on Leonard in the first half.
Game 5
Lebron had 1 FG in 2nd quarter (2:30 mark) to bring the Heat within 5. Then he did not score again until the Heat were down 21 with 4:40 in the 3rd. LeBron shot 1-6 against Leonard this game.
Leonard clearly outplayed Lebron over the final 3 games, even with Lebron padding his stats, and Lebron failed to score consistently until after his teams were getting blown out. LeBron did not play well in the 2014 Finals after Game 2, he only padded his stats. LeBron's 2014 Finals was a repeat of the 2011 Finals after Game 2, the only differences being that LeBron's teammates disappeared along with him, and LeBron padded his stats to save face. So any notion that LeBron had an "amazing" series, and still lost because of his teammates is false. LeBron failed his team over the Final 3 games, and that's why he lost. He did not contribute offensively or defensively. The Spurs did have great offensive execution in this series, but a lot of that had to do with the poor defensive leadership of LeBron, who got exposed by Kawhi Leonard. Remember, this is the same Spurs team that went 7 games against a top 10 worst defense in the league, the 8-seed Mavericks. They were far from an invincible team.
In those last 3 games, Leonard outrebounded, outblocked, outstole Lebron, scored MUCH more efficiently (14% FG higher than Lebron) and Lebron committed more than twice as many turnovers. In Game 3, LeBron had 14 points in the 1st quarter, then 8 points and 7 turnovers in the last 3 quarters. In Game 4, LeBron had 9 points in the first half, and they were blown out by 19 at that point, from where he padded his stats
The reason the Heat lost the 2014 Finals is because
of their pathetic defense. If the defensive leader, who was
supposedly 2nd place in DPOY and "guards 1-5"
isn't playing defense, how do you expect the rest of the
Heat to follow suit? Getting outplayed in the last
3 games by a role player doesn't help your team AT ALL.
Also, whereas Lebron could never guard Leonard, Leonard held Lebron to 1-6 shooting in Game 5 when he guarded him. In Game 5 Lebron had 1 FG in the 2nd quarter (2:30 mark) to bring the Heat within 5, and never scored again until the Spurs were up 21 with 4:40 left in the 3rd - definition of stat padding and not delivering when it mattered. In the 4 combined Heat losses, Lebron scored 48% of his points when the Spurs were up 15+. Definitely not delivering the numbers when he needed to.
2 likes for this horrid statement... Why is the offensive star wasting energy on defense? you have brain sir?
It’s funny you say that but yet lbj still averaged his playoff average that’s not outplaying him. What makes this even more funny why couldn’t kawhi do this 2020
U keep saying LeBron and Dwade. But only showed him stopping LeBron and going against Lebron. Was Kawhi sticking two players at once?
Full disclosure.. IM BY NO MEANS A LBJ FAN.. as a matter of fact, I think he is annoying as hell… but Kawhi Leonard is like made out of glass in NBA standards.
2014 Klaw > King & Flash.
Kawhi didn’t even average 20 points you can’t say he outplayed lbj he held lbj to his career playoff average. The heat just broke down physically they barely beat the spurs the year prior now all of a sudden kawhis the best player let’s be serious
kawaii leonard is not that good. change my mind, his second championship was sheer luck of opponent injuries
🖐🏿
I thought this was y'all's goat. I thought he was the best player in the world. It look like he just had some regrets just because somebody checked in the game. I ain't never seen Michael Jordan do that. I have never seen Wilt Chamberlain, magic Johnson, Larry Bird, or any of the other great players that wasn't even in to goat category do that. I thought you guys said that the '80s and '90s players were bombs and plumbers and drunks and now y'all even calling them cokeheads. I've never seen them regret the fact that another player came in. Even when they saw Mike get in the game. They didn't cringe they was upset but they didn't cringe and curse. They just took their medicine like a man. They knew what Mike was going to do to him but they tried to show no fear. That man literally regretted the moment that Kauai stepped back in that game That's when you know you're not dealing with a champion LeBron has never been a champion, the media and the lebroniacs made him this supposed to be goat. That's why he can't stand up to the test of being the goat. And now we find out a little while ago that the man man has been using steroids the whole time. People wondering how is he able to be there 20 years. His longevity man he's on steroids. Anybody taking that would be there that long? I couldn't imagine if Michael Jordan was taking steroids. He would have been there for 50 years. He done went straight from the hardwood floors of the NBA to the grave. That's how long he would have been there cuz you imagine magic Johnson and Larry Bird on steroids. Could you imagine Isaiah Thomas on steroids right? This dude ain't no goat
Am sorry, but according to who are the Miami Heat one of the greatest team of all time they got embarrassed by the Dallas Mavericks a team that had no business beating the Heat then thanks to Ray Allen they got lucky and after that they got nuke by the Spurs they got nuke so bad that LeBron tuck his tail between his legs and went back home

Super team. Every team in the league had a chance to draft Kawhi, Manu and Parker. What is your def of a superteam. That's a properly built team thru the draft. You new gen really love just throwing this superteam around but won't admit that LeBron ran to make a superteam. Three times

I don’t think you glazing but it’s close. Honestly it’s really interesting how much d wade and kawhi have in common. Because of their injury history it makes it harder to rank them. But their peaks were so all time great that 🤷. Idk I’d say kwahi makes me madder than d wade because I think we never got to see kwahi peak
STOP THE NONSENSE!!!
You said Lebron is arguably the GOAT. That’s where you ruined the video. NOBODY in any sport can be the greatest of all time when he’s LOST more championships than he’s WON. I mean how delusional is this generation. 4-6 including 2 sweeps 🧹 🧹plus his 2 Bronze Medals 🥉🥉is a total of 8 championship LOSSES. Also he’s never won a 🏆without creating a SUPER TEAM and he’s the all time leader in turnovers and 6 misses away from being the all time leader in missed shots. And he can’t even shoot free throws.

Here’s a list of some star players and how many BELOW AVERAGE free throw seasons they had. (under 75.0%)

Steph - 0
KD - 0
Kawhi - 0
Kyrie - 0
J Tatum - 0

Harden - 0

Lebron - 10
Plus LBJ had 5 seasons in the 60.0% range and he hasn’t shot 79.0% from the line in 21 seasons. There’s ❌NO WAY❌ anyone can tell me he’s the greatest player of all time when can barely go the line by himself and hit two shots. FACTS💯 He’s not even arguably the greatest player. STOP IT!
