iNerdSome timeline of the knicks
8:00 why is Wayne Ellington in Dion waiters photo
How the Phoenix Suns went downhill
How the Chicago Bulls went bad
@@sawchampa2556 I second this
I swear kd joining the warriors was like thanos having all the stones
Look at them now they're bad but not for long unfortunately
Caleb L stfu when the splash bro’s are back they get another ring
@@clydewaters2946 lmao sure buddy you know they wont
@@clydewaters2946 yeah and since they’re so bad they’ll get a good pick, maybe they land Hampton, Anthony, or wiseman , and then you add curry and Thompson back and that’ll be a good team
i think it was more like the avengers assembling to BEAT thanos (lebron)
Bruh I still can't believe Celtics traded Isaiah Thomas. After he showed up and BALLED in the playoffs just days after his sister died. No loyalty smh
nba is a business
Omar Farah it’s part life too
ivotheboss1 ikr
Nathan McMullen especially when at that point Isaiah was better than kyrie too
@@QuezVR Isaiah was never better than Kyrie
When lebron heads to Miami: He will never be the king again in cleveland
Lebron returns to cleveland and wins a chip: THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🤣
Lebron left for 2nd time : we miss you bron
Kenneth Erickson Jordan had pippin, Lebron had mo Williams
Kenneth Erickson learn how to English, nothing of what you said made sense
TheZMasterX -Random Videos LeBron had a healthy Kyrie for two full finals series.
"Hes never gonna win a championship" he goes on to win 2, then they get happy when he comes back and Carries them to a championship
He ain't carry them to the championship. He finally got that help he badly needed in his first stint with the Cavs
Miguel Monteroso nah man he carried that franchise. Kyrie alone wouldn’t do nothing with that team the brother couldn’t do it with the Celtics left alone a lesser cavs team. That’s why Cleveland fans for me just hit the spot for worst fans, they had a legend and never appreciated him until he got a championship which is sad. Front office was awful too and that’s another argument 😂
bigtimetommy _ took a team effort for the title. Not a single player
@@caleboconnors1919 no he did carry them you can't deny that
Caleb O'Connors but do you notice as soon as he came back they win a championship?
to think that the cavs at one point has Derrick Rose, LBJ, D Wade and IT.
I thought they had enough that year until the locker room went up in flames.
Irving for IT was a huge let down on the court and off court
Brian L He hasn’t been the same since those 2017 playoffs.
@Charles Darwin the founder of evolution care to tell me what is the locker room issue? I didn't understand
Derrick Rose was okay, Wade was washed up, Thomas wasn’t playing good and lebron is the best player of all time
Cavs could’ve had Damian Lillard and Victor Oladipo
Hollywood PJ my name is also pj
Or Giannis..
They also missed on Joel Embeid
And the Trail Blazers could've had Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant
DASCO2136 I want to cry but MJ wouldn’t be successful with the Blazers I’m mad about the grandpa Greg oden over KD
“He has no desire to be in LA” that didn’t age well 😂
yes, even more now.
He almost got traded to La before he went to the Heat.
7:59
Man, Dion Waiters kinda looks like Wayne Ellington...
hahahahhahaahahahahaha. Whoever made this video was high like Dion on the plane.
Saw that too in 4:00
The Cavs really wasted the 2 out of 3 #1 picks.
And still won a championship 🤷♂️ worth it in my opinion
@@whywhere1768 yeah but what about the future?
@@billycunningham8720 Zion and Sexton gonna be one of the best duos in the league if we get the #1 pick
@@whywhere1768 i don't think they re getting Zion
@@billycunningham8720 if they don't, ok but they could get him or R.J Barrett and even Ja Morant. We could play him or Sexton at sg.
7:30 you put wayne ellingtons picture instead of dion waiters
Mistakes have been made. Nice Find lol. I was feeling proud of myself too, I got all the pictures done in record time this video
@@iNerdSome don't get me wrong my guy, this was an amazing video overall. all love man
CrameYT i know right
Same at 3:52
Ye saw daat too
Cleveland had 3 no. 1 picks in 4 years and the only good player they got out of it was Kyrie who also left them high and dry. Jeez that city ain't getting another championship for another 20 years.
I mean. They had him in the trading block. After he was as much of a factor as Lebron in the finals. I would’ve felt betrayed and left too.
Shadow19605 more like 30 or 40 years. Like 35 years
They’re border line the NBA equivalent of the Edmonton Oilers lol
Better hope the Indians do well.
@@Shadow-ro3gb as much? C'mon lol...take Lebron off those Cleveland teams and they are fighting for the 8th seed...take kyrie out and they are still in the finals.
Problem was kd joined the warriors and the team as assembled had no shot, cavs had an opportunity to bring in paul george and eric bledsoe and would execute the trade if Bron signed an extension...Bron was all for the trade but would not commit....so yea when kyrie found out he cried, but Bron still wanted to keep him
Kyrie apologized
as a cavs fan this upsets me to see how the front office and management was the real reason a possible dynasty was ruined
same, i just hope collin sexton is good
I said this n 2010
Yeah the 1st time, but in his 2nd stint we would’ve got 3 chips without unlucky injuries and kd taking the easy way out
@@thereaper7150 LeBron takes the easy way out going to Miami
@@DMalltheway that heat team was mid before lebron got there. There was no easy way out
10:48 June 19, 2019 damn predicting the future
Yeah didn't you listen to Tristan Thompson? The east still runs through Cleveland. haha.
I'm still a cavs fan 🤦
That’s my birthday
@@Superbad22 mine is june 18
Tyler Pallotta 3-1 cubs came back
When you get the #1 pick and then you pick Anthony Bennett. 😂
faxxx
And then get it again and pick Andrew Wiggins
@@orcqa2534 he's ok
Calvin Kim don’t act like their was a clear cut pick in that draft
Luke Langston yeah at the time it was either Wiggins or Jabari. Now both suck. Wiggins helped get love and a ring so we don’t care
10:35 There is a typo. It’s supposed to be June 19, 2016
I was saying the same thing 😁
ikr my raps won in 2019
I love you have my babies please
In the 2017-18 lineup imagine if all the players played like they did in their prime years how scary that team would be
Better than the Warriors for sure.
I had high hopes for that team but damn all things go south
RAZER X5 haha your mad lebron left again
I mean us Cleveland fans are used to things going badly even when things look great.
I just wanted JR to put that G.Hill miss back in the basket...that was all. Because JR had a brain fart I’m having to listen to Skip diss LBJ for getting swept in the 17-18 Finals. I couldn’t see the Cavs winning 4 out of 7 against THAT GSW team but LBJ deserved the one W.
Cavs should've demanded Marcus Smart or Brown for Kyrie. Jae Crowder was always an overrated defender. Thomas was coming off an injury that he should've got surgery for. It was all downhill from there. They should've acquired better players.
1994 agreed. they basically gave up kyrie for jordan clarkson larry nance and rodney hood.. if David Griffen had stayed i believe they couldve flipped Kyrie for Paul George, but then again, the team owner was Dan Gilbert
Hind sight is 20:20 no one knew what IT was gonna look like I feel like they made the right decision because they were trying to get talent around lebron to get him to resign everything that could go wrong went wrong IT wasn’t healthy crowder didn’t play well next to lebron and the nets pick fell to 8th and only a couple wins determined it from being the first
@@Luke-kc9li, Just an awful trade. Why trade for an undersized wing defender & an injured undersized PG? Just made no sense to me.
1994 yeah agreed IT was overrated
IT Is a great system player the man was an All Star when under the right system which was Brad Stevens system none of the other teams he's been on have been able to replicate but even then teams probably didn't copy that system because they didn't want to waste time doing it just for one player and to risk ruining your other players abilities
dion waiters isn’t wayne ellington
His picture is Wayne lol
I’m not the only one good lmao
@@danielvarela7578 what's the difference?
Sewar I thought I only saw that
Who cares
Cavaliers have the worse front office in the NBA, who in their right mind would trade a star player to Eastern Conference rival? 💀
im so shocked we actually got a title out of it, with such a front office. We would be so salty if we didn't get that title
Not now 🤫
2013 Nba draft
Cleveland has No. 1 pick yet again
Choices: Giannis Antetokounmpo, CJ McColum, Victor Oladipo, Steven Adams, Rudy Gobert...
Cleveland Cavaliers select Anthony Bennett...
imagine if they got Giannis jesus
That's like selecting some random guy during the 1984 Draft, when you have choices like Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, John Stockton and Charles Barkley.
That's some bad-bad luck
So painful
Your videos are awesome, keep it up! Some suggestions
- how the Spurs built their dynasty
- the rise of the raptors
- maybe redo the nets with this style?
- and maybe the career of kawhi leanord?
Good suggestions. Yeah I was actually thinking of redoing the Nets one and I will probably do the Raptors after the season ends as I want to see what Kawhi does. I like the idea of following a single player too. Maybe even start in like HS if possible
rockets acquiring harden and how he exploded , that would be crazy !!

@@donnadunbar5342 because shaq was a fatass and the all star game dont matter for shit
LeBron carried the Cavs for so long, then he leaves his peons behind after being fed up and they get mad.
Sports fans at their best.
We got mad at how he did it. Not what he did.
@@bk7064 how did he do it again?
@@ashle9034 He was on national television with the show being called "The Decision". I will admit many of us acted poorly but we all respect Lebron. He kept us waiting then does it on national tv. We felt embarrassed man. We had 50 plus years of nothing but loss. Imagine if you had that much loss then possibly the best player ever joins you, only to leave in such a way. Wouldn't you be mad? If we never had Lebron we'd have nothing. Now that he's gone Cleveland is awful at everything again.
@@bk7064 so shouldn't you guys cherish the great times you had? Of course Cleveland sucks right now, that's the cost of having potentially the GOAT leaving the team. It's expected.
@@ashle9034 Of course. We were lucky enough to have him. He was like family for us and some of us did get out of hand. What I'm trying to say is that we haven't been so close to a player in a long time and that made it hurt more when he left. I've always respected his business decisions though and it was best for him to leave.
Never clicked on a video faster
do you know why kyrie made that face at 8:38
Cavs is a joke, most of those trades make no sense at all. They are really lucky that everyone on the team played so well in 2016

Another great quality video! You are so underrated bro...
Keep up the great work. I
Love these! Keep them coming!
Anderson Varejo was just chilling the entire timeline in the background
I know exactly how all of this happened but seeing them all together makes it so nice. Keep up the good work and make another video soon.
Dude your vids are amazing, so well researched and well put together. You just earned a sub. BTW can you do the timeline of the historical Celtics-Lakers rivalry next? Also maybe do vids about the NFL too? That would be dope
Dude let me just say that your timeline vids really help me get some insight since I'm new to the sport. Danke!
I love these vids. Can tell you put alot of work into them. Good job

Multi part series for seattle sonics leaving and durants reasons for leaving
Wow between 2003-2014 the Cavs received four number #1 picks and another two first round picks, both at #4. Two of those picks became top-tier players but unfortunately their weak organisation has traded way and lost all the rest of except Tristan Thompson. I really hope they don't get the #1 this year because it should go to a team who's been actually struggling for a while in the league. Loving every one of these timelines btw, exceptional editing and please never change that fire instrumental.
Wow this is such a great video! Keep Killing It
This is a good ass video. Nicely made definitely deserved the like!

And durant and harden leaving causes
@Survival he left by himself
Even when lebron left for the first time I was shocked and was upset but he a human being and did what was best for his career to win a championship and have experience and he came back to Cleveland to finally when a championship I was so emotional when we won our first NBA title it was a dream come true to be called NBA champions for ever and I believe before his career is over he will finish his career in Cleveland let’s go cavs be the fight and we never give up we always have hope and never say never to all cavs fan ❤️🏆🤴🏾🏀
Thank you for making this video. I learnt a lot.
Ur the best ur videos are so cool. It is cool to see the chain of events that lead to things please do more of these
Great video! LeBron proved he was the real king of basketball by winning a championship in Cleveland, and the departure of Durant in the Warriors solidified that status as a king. Watching LeBron battle 4 all stars in the finals and scoring 51 points was unbelievable. He carried the team for the second time, and that I thinkm will be forever acknowledged
Let's be real kyrie was jealous of lebron lol
William Turner facts man
Landon I mean there was 52 seconds left on the clock when kyrie hit that shot smh plus lebron hit the free throw to make it a 2 possession game so did kyrie really hit the winning shot
jealousy ? whenever the Cavs lost consecutive games , he demands the team to sign new stars ... whenever the Cavs won the games , he takes all the credit ... WTH !?
Chris Chiou did a kyrie led cavs reach the playoffs tho?ofc bron gonna get credits
Chris Chiou no he didn't stop the bull shit besides bron wanted kyrie to stay smh like I said kyrie jealous of lebron I mean the only star lebron recruited over there was k love and that's the media giving bron all the credit lebron dosent do that he gives all his teammates credit watch the parade after they won the finals
Love your background music for these videos. Damn
Well done.. the video is great
You should have at least 1 million subscribers
4:00 instead of waiters, they have ellington😂😅
post more often I love ur vids
Love this channel
Here's how I wished this story would have gone: LeBron leaves, the fans and organization react disappointed but thankful for his service in the years he was there. then he returns and shit's going great. yes.
But they didn't react towards his first loss like that, did they? Tearing down his banner, burning his jersey, the owner writing an open letter attacking LeBron? I mean, I don't wanna throw the whole city under the bus and say "Cleveland didn't deserve him coming back", but.. you know... I'm pretty damn close to saying exactly that.
My guy..you said it all!
I agree completely!
You guys realized that in 10:50 the date is june 19 2019
Grethan Dolan I was about to say that
bro your videos are dope
good video dude
4:00 my man put a picture of Wayne Ellington instead of Dion 😂💀
This video plays out like the scene in The Incredibles where Mr. Incredible sees all the heroes who’ve been bumped off.
nice time line, thank you
Well explained and all round a good video
Great video, you should do Dallas Mavericks 2011 championship.
5:24 look at all that disappointment
Great vid 👍
Great Videos
i Still Dont know why Cavs fired Coach Blatt on 30-11 run and trade dion waiters ???
Lebron didn't like Blatt lol. Thats all, Lebron got whatever he wanted.
@@whywhere1768 That's one thing I don't like about LBJ, who is my favourite player. I just hope he doesn't mess up The Lakers. I've been a big fan of Lonzo since highschool and been upporting him since then.
Because the Cavs players didn't want to listen to Blatt. The reasons given for his firing was bullshit compared to what Lue got away with. Blatt was originally hired to coach a young team led by Kyrie & Andrew Wiggins. Bron comes & things changed. Cavs are in win now mode. Things weren't working out & they traded Waiters & got got JR, Iman, & Mozgov & played like the best team in basketball until Kevin Love got hurt. Blatt did almost call a timeout that would have cost the Cavs the game & his original play call of LeBron in bounding was indeed silly. They move on & somehow with defense & LeBron's offense, they take the Warriors to six without Kyrie or Love. Blatt doesn't have anymore gaffes after the Bulls series & the Cavs start the 2016 season as the favorite to win the title. The actions that led up to Blatt's firing were his decision to give less minutes to Mo Williams & Richard Jefferson for the Christmas game. There were problems with that because he apparently he didn't notify them until the game. They played GS close & lost by 6 with a returning Kyrie. Cleveland proceeds to get blown the fuck out by GS on MLK Day & apparently there was a "revolt" against Blatt in their Portland game. Blatt gets fired despite the Cavs being 30-11 & top ten in offense & defense. The reasons for his firing were; the near timeout called that would've resulted in a tech, the bad play drawn up that would've erased Bron's game winner, not being hard enough on the big three, cutting to two vets mins for one game & not telling them until the game, apparently not utilizing Love enough, & there just being some disconnect between he & the players caused by how he treated the big three & LeBron's own dismissal of him. What told me that he was on thin ice once LeBron got back was when Lue got a fresh four year contract without proving anything. Lue was also the highest paid assistant coach in NBA history. Blatt doing what he did can be chalked up to typical rookie coach shit. Now, imagine your assistant was ALSO interviewing for your job & he's the highest paid at his position in history, & you have gone from mentally preparing a young run n gun team to championship or bust with the best & most influential player in the league. The fact that Blatt didn't coach worse is amazing to me. He went to a no win situation once they lost Kyrie in game 1. The Cavs defense was AWFUL post 2016 & the main reason they went 1-8 against GS the next two Finals. Lue funny enough got away with the same shit that Blatt got fired for. He kept starting guys like JR & TT despite them playing terrible & despite he himself saying that the Cavs were a playoff team & thus just coasting til the season ended. Young guys who could've contributed or at least picked up fouls so the better players wouldn't. Instead they remained stuck to the bench. The Cavs defense remained bottom ten as the defending champs & he saw no desire to fix it calling it a "secret" & saying that they were "saving it" They had a historical offense thanks to over reliance on Kyrie & LeBron. Love was still being criticized as not good enough & constantly in trade rumors. It only got uglier once Kyrie was traded. The team rarely practiced which only made their defense worse, & thanks to the divide in the locker room, the team played with no consistency. Every week there was a story of some issue amongst the players. Lue didn't play young players like Osman & Zizic despite the injuries & horrible play of JR & Jae. By the playoffs, the team was woefully under prepared & got smacked by 20 in the first game. LeBron won a playoff series virtually by himself. And, the Finals showed that Lue was dunzo once Bron left. He didn't call a timeout once JR grabbed the ball & watched as 4 secs dribbled away. He also had no control over the team before the overtime period. None. They displayed no fight in a close out game & got embarrassed by a GS team that was literally playing to puff up Steph's stats. And, despite all that. The Cavs fired him because he disobeyed an order to not play Smith, Frye, & Korver. That's what got him fired. Not the 0-6 start or the terrible play from the team. It was him deciding to play Smith & Korver. He'd probably still be the coach today if he didn't play them.

LATE COMMENT:--------------
at 4:02 The Shooting Guard
on the pic is Wayne Ellington
Can I get an actual link exactly to the beat I know it’s chuki beats but I need a exact url link to the beat
More coaches “traded” then players
when the nuggets win the title in the next few years you should do a timeline of that starting from the melo trade
they wont win a title in the next few years tho
foreal they are just good at the wrong time, warriors will dominate for another 5 years if they keep the same group
Anthony Arellano bad prediction
Love these videos but I couldn't help but to notice you used Wayne Ellington's image for Waiter's in the lineup presentations.
Another awesome video! Thank you so much! Can I request if you can make a timeline video about LeBron while he was in Miami for 4 years? Ty in advance 👌
says Dion waiters, shows picture of Wayne Ellington
Does anyone else see that Cleveland drafts a lot of their players in or from Toronto 😂
8:00 I didn’t know Dion waiters and Wayne Ellington were the same person😂
These are great, we need a hockey version of this
They burned a Lebron James Cleveland jersey when he left, then he came back! 🤣😂🤣 he lost ton of money
No faith.
You guys wouldn't get it. 50 plus years of loss then the possible best player ever leaves you. It was how he did it, not what he did. Cleveland fans have gone through years of loss and still support their team. That is the definition of loyalty.
@@bk7064 its a fucking sport you don't die if your team dosent win like y'all fans gotta FUCKIN chill

@Yo Nick what I am not wrong some.people take this shit like it's life or death
The 2nd time lebron james left was ALL ON DAN GILBERT
He had to leave Cleveland and Join Miami in order to know what it feels like to win, once he knew that feeling he went back Home & brought that Ring Home
In Anthony Bennett’s draft class: Victor Oladipo, Rudy Gobert, Steve Adams, The Greek Freak, CJ McCollum, KCP, Trey Burke, Kelly Olynyk, Dennis Schröder, Tim Hardaway Jr., & Andre Roberson. You could’ve picked 30 other guys with better careers and at least 4 all stars.
