+James Brown tru, also they should've made it when Kevin Martin took over James hardens spot and Reggie Jackson was on the rise that's was like 2013 and 2014 years

By todays standards I'd say this is a fair and exciting finals match up. Back then I just hated the Big 3 of Miami, now I don't know what I was complaining about anymore. - Compared to the GSW Miami games this was pretty suspenseful.
Nuar yes dude the warriors took the excitement our of the NBA for me it's like meh we no who is going to win come April June like nobody in the NBA can even come close to beating them in a series the rockets will give the trouble but they won't beat them..smh gsw really on that 2k overpowered shit
Fr. I remember thinking bro this is so unfair the heat gonna win lik 5 in a row lol but now I'm lik damn the heat faced challenges. The warriors fucked that all up
Joshua James yes dude I was 4sho they was gon three peat and they should've three peat LeBron just choked 4 the first time the warriors are going to steamroll the playoffs like last year
Nuar The Heat had insane competition:Big 3 Celtics,OKC,Spurs and other teams like Dallas,the Pacers and the Bulls and eventhough it was close you had the feeling that they got it,but the warriors always blow out everyone and its not fun,i hope the Rockets or Thunder will give them a run for their money
Such a well coached team by Spolestra. If only Lebron had that kind of Coach this year. He primed Lebron to his most efficient he can be. Efficiently designed plays.

trq mcewen - Dumbass, you do realize they were young and inexperienced. You only say they were a superteam because the players they are today; but you fail to realize they weren't as good back then, stupid shit. The only Super team there was the Miami Heat.
30th in rebounding. No shot blocker. No size in the paint. They weren't perfect at all areas. They just played perfectly. You never could exploit their weakness (post play) because there was an onslaught of perimeter Pressure and switching. And they would blitz you on offense.
I remember this year, I never saw a amazing team like this in my life, especially all these good players if they kept this team Durant Westbrook Harden Jackson Ibaka It's insane! If these players grew up and stuck together, it would of been the best team in NBA history, going 80-2
What's scary is they traded Perkins for jee green When he was rising...you lnkw how scary a frontline of green Durant and ibaka would have been when green became a 18 ppg scorer and harden got better
Lmao blasphemy. Harden and Westbrook both need the ball in their hands to be effective. That’s why Harden came off the bench. Curry can play off ball, as can Klay who is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league as well. And Draymond is better than Serge in every way imaginable. There’s a reason GSW has dominated for 4 years in a row. And this is coming from a Heat fan
This series came down to veteran depth. Heat had Mike Miller and Shane Battier who knew their roles and were on the last leg of their career. In this series I feel like if OKC had that veteran depth this series could have gone to the distance. Not saying they would win but experience plays such a HUGE role. Russ, KD, Beard & Ibaka were all so young.
he was only the sixth man because he didn't fit well with Russell and KD. He was absolutely the third option. Imagine your first string go to the bench only to have your second-string helmed by James Harden. That team was just stupid...
This was supposed to be the Finals for the ages! The Thunder had one of the best teams ever assembled; better than the HEAT imo. This is probably LeBron's second greatest accomplishment because they thoroughly outclassed the Thunder despite the talent deficit.
I remember watching this game and everyone on the heat just started making 3's like gsw do. even old dude with the hurt leg who was retiring was making 3's. heat could not miss
every thing went right for the heat in this game. they were good but so rarely did everyone in their rotation play well. up until this game everyone was close and could've hone either way
OKC failing to get back to the Finals and watching Golden State go from lottery team to regular West champ juggernaut during their title window might honestly be the biggest failure in NBA history.
Fr OKC did have a great team that year in 2012 with KD, Westbrook and Harden but this was Lebron in his absolute prime. He was on a mission to prove all the doubters and naysayers wrong about choking in the 2011 finals
How easy it is to forget that OKC was a super team, all drafted but nonetheless a super team. Lack of leadership, perhaps from KD or the front office made it hard for that team to stay together. That OKC team was, at the minimum, a three-chip team under a more efficient leadership/management.
@@jaobille79 nah I’m taking 2013 no doubt. Bron’s best year statistically, 27 game win streak, added Ray Allen, and confidence after finally winning the chip together.

I cant wait for miami to sweep a finals....I dread the day we get swept in a finals or lose in 7
Those were some great times in my life. Can’t believe it’s been 8 years. #heatnation 🔥🔥🔥

Exciting? Lol Miami is a superteam and the most hated big3 back then!

Jackson
Ibaka
It's insane! If these players grew up and stuck together, it would of been the best team in NBA history, going 80-2
back when kendrick perkins was a starter lol
Ethan Baca he was solid even with Boston when they won a championship. he was there to bring physicality and toughness.
Ethan Baca in his younger days he was a good role player
yeah but now he's trash
Back when Kendrick Perkins was a player
2012 Miami was the BEST!
2012-13 is my favorite version of LeBron dude is literally a freight train
That OKC core would have been better than GS core
MaadeInAfricaa a LOT better.

@@maw6150 theyre not rookie..lmao. this team beat kobe lakers and the spurs. Wtf you talkn about? Lol

If you think about it, this game probably defined the modern NBA.
Miami this time so strong 3 points shooter!!! Solid shooters wow!
Did anyone see my boi Mike Miller lock down harden on that one play
The big 3 showed everybody where teamwork gets u
bronnies first champ
The only time we see Harden in a Finals.

It came down to the refs. Okc couldnt touch them without getting called for a foul. The heat were flopping like fish
OKC had Fish and Perk though
thnx so much for this vid I actually remember requesting this game on another one of your videos. I can't wait for the next one
LeBron is really a point guard forreal
Now playing a center is the 🐐
Bosh we will miss him
That sidestep move DWade made after Westbrook's sidestep... showing how it's done, with AND1
Hurts to imagine just what this OKC team would look like now. Probably would have been the least hated super team ever
back when lebron always tried to cover that hairline with a sweatband
now he is bald lmao no
need for a headband
He wore a headband when he was teen
Random Guy another gay guy
JT Tha Beatman his hair line was always messed up that’s why
His hair made a biggest comeback in nba history

Man Harden at point, with KD & Westbrook, now??? Would’ve been unfair!!!
Kamoshun yo Westbrook joined harden
Only unfair with offensive league rules.
Brooklyn nets
Harden chokes in playoffs
I take Lebron, wade and Bosh any day. More unselfish and clever players for winning a ring.
boy I miss this prime lebron
Miss these heat days, miller was on fire, battier was lit, chalmers the point guard, bosh being the tank and wade and bron was so goddamn good🏆🔥
lebron is a fucking legend
lebron needs help to win a nba title
so did kobe, jordan, magic, russell, chamberlain, abdul-jabbar and duncan. every championship team has had great role players.
SSA lmao whats his point anyway? Saying that a basketball player needs help to win in a TEAM SPORT is like saying water is wet.
no he is not
Kevin Dyson you're dumb as fuck!
Respect MIKE MILLER One of the deadliest final 3point shooter in NBA FINALS HISTORY
Harden wasn’t one of the top players on that team. If I remember correctly it was Ibaka, KD, and Russ. Harden was a 6th man.
The beard hadn't reached it's full thickness yet.
Ibaka wasnt better than Harden ....
he was only the sixth man because he didn't fit well with Russell and KD. He was absolutely the third option. Imagine your first string go to the bench only to have your second-string helmed by James Harden. That team was just stupid...
by that logic, Ginobili wasn't one of the top five players in that Spurs dynasty lmao
Good times fly by

I'll never get tired of saying this: 2012-13 Bron was the best Bron.
I miss this era
The best play in that game was the 10 second hug from LeBron and Durant, I remember watching that Finals, I let up a tear.
Be honest, though: didn't it look like they were about to kiss?
18:15 that’s ball smoovement
OKC failing to get back to the Finals and watching Golden State go from lottery team to regular West champ juggernaut during their title window might honestly be the biggest failure in NBA history.
Choking a 3-1 lead to them too
For those of you taking down on okc and taking credit off the heat. 17:24. Literally summarizes what everyone was saying.
Imagine that OKC team today. Smh 😥
They would still loose..two of the most ball dominant players in the same team..some super teams are just not meant to win
Waw! Okc with Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Fisher, and Perkins lol. I would say Miami was the underdog here.
if OKC still has this roster up until now. I'm sure they will dominate the game.
