Even though Lebron is obviously more efficient now, this version of Lebron was the most fun to watch for me personally.. He was incredible throughout that whole regular season!
Yeah, he was something else those days. Very, VERY few were as physically gifted as young Lebron. Probably young Wilt, Jordan, Shaq and maybe David Robinson. Very short list and Lebron is probably at the top of it.
The first Cavs-stint LeBron James is the most athletically gifted player in NBA history. NOBODY had such a fluid and consistent display of Power +Agility+Speed.
Lebron's first stint with the cavs will probably be the most entertaining version of LBJ we could ever watch. Dunking on people left and right. Heat checking from time to time. Don't get me wrong LBJ with the heat might be his best version but most of the highlights he got were from open court plays unlike here when most of them are in traffic. We should all be grateful to have witness his greatness.
His 2nd stint in Cleveland involved a hefty amount of open court plays. In Miami Wade ruined the spacing, and especially in the 2011-2013 playoff runs, Miami's offense was extremely crowded, near terrible spacing. I remember Carlos Arroyo sitting in the mid range for crying out loud. I agree with the rest though.
@@SteveCrimialMindsFan Miamis offense was their defense in a way. They’d force turnovers and get out in transition a lot, that’s why Lebrons efficiency was other worldly in Miami. Half court sets it was awkward whenever Lebron and d wade shared the floor though you are right about that but defensively and in transition those two were perfect together.
I'm a Heat fan, and I'm happy for him. He gave us all we had for 4 years, and we won two titles. I wish him the best and will always watch him from afar.
Real classy on your part. Majority of Heat fans are like this though. I live in New Orleans, and I remember when Chris Paul wanted out. All I could do is appreciate what he did here and wish him the best. Dude is a grown man and wanted to make moves to further his career, enjoy the rest of his life and career. Cant be immature, cry, bitch and moan about it, gotta respect the mans decision.
I have stated publicly on many occasions that they didn't draft or trade well his first 7 years smh...I would have given almost anything for him to have a partner in crime lawd
@@liamcsullivan7451 lol hilarious but seriously I mean...they heard all the hype all the stuff and yet...you couldn't get him (after the 2003 draft) no kind of young player(s) to build with him?? Besides Boston Cleveland could have run the east for a long time smh...
Nah, everyone thought he was going to surpass the Bulls dynasty when he went to Miami. Instead he was lucky to leave with 2 rings. Reality is basketball is a game with 1 ball and five players. No matter how good he was with the ball, LeBron never learned to play without it. That's why he never, and will never surpass Jordan, much less Russell.
@@abdillahbaininwa9544 cap. Jordan was faster, quicker, could leap off 1 & 2 feet, better agility, higher vertical, longer hang time, bigger hands etc only thing Bron has on Jordan is size

@@abdillahbaininwa9544 Jordan in college ran a 4.39 while Lebron hasn't run anything close to that. Also Jordan was quicker as shown by his legendary 1st step. Also Jordan jumped higher it's literally on record Jordan had a 46-48inch vert, also in his rookie season on a alley oop dunk vs the Buck Jordan got his entire head over the rim. Also Jordan can casually do free throw line dunks while in street clothes bruh. Also Lebron never did a free throw line dunk in game his foot was clearly way past the line
But seriously, this guy has Dunk mix, block mix, assists mix, offense highlights, defense highlights, can play and guard all 5 positions and a great teammate. And people still hate him. Really wish you will win atleast one in cle. Best wishes!
I think it's just me but when lebron was on Cleveland I loved his swagger. His agression and finish at the hole was more exciting to me than now on Miami. I wouldn't say he's less confident on Miami but I just love his game more when he was on Cleveland. It was beautiful to watch. I miss those days man. That was a hell of a year for him that and 08-09 my favorite lebron moments happened in this period
he was younger and more leaner and could do more funkier stuff. he still is dope but more of a traditional way. he cant play that way anymore....he would breakdown.. he is more savy now.
Watching this I completely had the same thought he was faster I never knew he could to a turn around that quick or get to the hole like that now it looks slow the animation is slower everything
He's the greatest all time. No other player has ever done it on both sides of the ball like him. He's pretty much the closest thing to "THE COMPLETE PACKAGE" as there's ever been.
Was only him that lost those finals? 10 years ago do you think he would be still playing at 40, do you think he would score 40k pts. We can't measure a player value because of a team accomplishment
I come to watch these highlights because the young LeBRON was just something else crazy how people forget this is the man that changed the NBA as we know it . He made them pay players for their talents and not just because they are apart of the NBA .. it matters
People who believe he's in any sort of decline yet are terribly mistaken. The man is 29, not 39. He will be athletically insane until probably 34 or 35, and after that he will still dominate until he retires. The guy is a freak of nature. Just think about how much of a threat his jumper is now? And his amazing post work?! Those miami years did nothing but good for his game. He's going to be something else in Cleveland again.
Haters saying he didn't give Miami 2 championships, Miami gave him 2 rings. Like he was sitting on the bench while Wade's knees won him some rings, c'mon man.
They both participate no one's to blame.. if u watch their old videos u will see sometimes wade carry them and If wade having a hard time then James will carry them.
he avg 29.7 ppg 7.3 rpg 8.6 apg on 50%, those are videogame stats. lebron from 2008 till 2010 was almost inhuman. what really was remarkable about him is that for someone who runs so much up and down the floor he never looked exhausted and kept going, it was like he was everywhere on the court
LeBron is not this athletic anymore. Still fun to watch but you watch his Cleveland highlights and all you can say is DAMN that man is amazingly gifted.
Luv his game when he was in the cavs carrying the whole team to the finals with such emphatic performance every night Now he's back to give us more great shows
This is so fun to watch. Small Forward LeBron was a highlight reel for like 6 seasons. Only guy to average like 27/7/7 for 7 seasons. or 6 and 6. But still.
He has, but hes 29 now, in these highlights hes about 23-25 years old in his athletic prime. He is still super athletic, but now hes also stronger, wiser and his skills are more fine tuned.
My favorite season of LeBron's skill wise. The man was an absolute BEAST that season. I miss seeing James steal the ball , run the full length of the floor like a freight train and terrorize the rim with a ferocious dunk or dish some crazy assist to a team mate. Rarely saw that in Miami. No one can stop James when he plays like that. #KingJames
You can tell during the Cavs years the his athleticism and talent out weighted his skill level(which was still good). But from the second season in Miami and on his skills have gotten much better while his athleticism starts to go down because he's not exploding like this alot now.
i think he calmed down more in miami he was like a 6'8 drose in cleveland maybe wouldve got hurt at that pace he played more exciting in cleveland but smarter in miami
same player only add a better jump shot, 3pt shot, maturity, post game, and championships. He's gonna be a fucking monster in cleveland this year and those young players gonna feed off his greatness
The transition play at Phoenix in the first minute of the video - lbj steals, passes to moe, outsprints his defender and gets it back for the dunk. Unbeatable transition.
U know what, I admit it. When Lebron went to Miami I became a Miami fan now that hes gone Im now a Cleveland fan again. I think that so called "bandwagan" fans don't like a team based on their roster (BIG 3) but the individual themselves. Lebron is my favorite player ever since Cleveland and I'll support him which ever team he is on.
Rhapzodic lol foreal this like the 73rd time i'm reading that someone is saying "i was just a lebron fan not a heat fan, but now im a cavs fan" like wtf lol
Im the same way. Its the truth though. Laker fans would follow Kobe anywhere he went and likely cheer for that team because hes bigger than the team for most of them. Its just the way it is for megastars. I don't know why people want to hide behind the "im not a bandwagoner" bullshit and act like they arent player fans first. The NBA and most major sports market their superstars 1st because of this and they're all billion dollar businesses. People need to wake up and stop being stupid.
There isn't one. Stockton was much better than Magic at moving without the ball, while still having great creative ability with the ball in his hands. Jordan at 2 guard is obvious. LeBron at the 3 over Bird because LeBron will get Jordan better shots than Bird will and he's a lockdown defender when the time arrives. Tim Duncan a great passer when the double comes, protects the rim without fouling, and rebounds well. Hakeem the greatest offensive center ever, didn't have a ginormous ego like Shaq and could rebound well along with his amazing shot blocking. That team gels perfectly.
spawngebub No way. Bird and MJ would not co exist well together and Magic wasn't good at moving without the ball the way Stockton was. Also Stockton was a better defender than Magic AND the fastbreak advantage would go to the first team while the low post game would cancel out. Say all you want about Wilt but his skill can't touch Hakeems.
David Zahry magic and jordan would kill the break and id rather have iverson than stockton. Stockton cant guard iverson at all and he is a good passer who is the best scoring pg i would like him on there just cause he is a liability. Of course i want wade at guard to play mj and i want kg and motumbo. Then ill have probably carmelo or bird. Bird is just amazing and ball movement would be so easy especially when bird doesnt have to drop a lot and can guard lebron.
LBJ is better than MJ, but MJ's legacy is more than LBJ's. players today are much stronger and more athletic than players in MJ's era,that means LBJ has to play against much tougher ballers.
Lots of people talk about how boring Lebron's dunks are. I don't believe those people watched him play. First of all, he threw in some nice windmills and reverses on fast breaks. Second, his tomahawk dunk during his first Cleveland run was an unbelievable show of athleticism. A 6'8, 260 lb SF flying towards the rim and throwing it down with ridiculous force. It's the kind of play that might be dimmed when watching on TV, but live and in person it was absolutely ridiculous.
spawngebub say's the one who thinks Lebron's size and strength couldn't over power MJ. MJ might have a few offensive moves he may or may not score on, but how the hell would he stop Lebron from backing him down and laying it in every single time?
LeBron was just an athletic freak in Cleveland in Miami he improved himself as player by developing a post game, better three point shot and a consistent jumper now he's coming back to Cleveland with no Wade or Bosh this man is gonna be a BEAST!!!!!! just imagine him and kyrie on the fast break wow...
he lost weight in this offseason to get back his quick, explosive athleticism self. when he was in Miami he kinda bulked up and bullied people in the paint
This version of Lebron might’ve been the most fun to watch besides 2028 Lebron. This version of Bron was so unpredictable & raw. He was great but you knew it’s was more he could do & you knew he was gonna go crazy regardless.
Seriously enough with this Lebron and MJ comparison. MJ is the goat. lebron is top 10 player to ever play and will probably be top 5 when he retires. But to compare him to MJ is just insulting.
Lol Lebron shoots a much field goal better percentage averages more assist and rebounds plus only takes 17 shots a game. Jordan had years when he took 27 shots per game. Lebron is going to end up with over 30,000 points 10,000 rebounds and over 10,000 assist... only player in NBA history with those stats. And Lebron never lost in the 1 st round of the playoffs
Kevin Cordova ........ and Jordan never lost in the finals. In the finals he stepped up his game more. It took him 7 years to get to the finals and once he got there he never missed it. Had a 3 peat, retired, and had another 3 peat with a almost a completely different team. 2 three peats! All in 13 years with the bulls. LeBron is already going on his 12th year. Bottom line, 6 for 6 in the finals, 6 finals mvps, never aloud a game 7. Also Jordan only lost by 15 point once in his finals career. Last year all for Miami losses where by 15 points or more. MJ dominated the finals. LeBron does not.
LeBron may pass him and points and stats like that but he would have played longer than MJ. Also look at the playoff stats.... right now LeBron has played 158 playoffs games, averages 28ppg has a total of 4,419 points. MJ played a total of 179 playoff games, averaged 34ppg has a total of 5,987 points! Look at that! Only 21 more games played and he is ahead by 1,500 points scored. So unless LeBron averages 71ppg in the next 21 playoff games he won't touch that record. It just shows you how Jordan dominated the playoffs so much when he reach the top. Enough kid, I'm done. I can go on forever and explain why MJ is the goat
Kevin Cordova yeah and the Miami team LeBron was on was full of stars. Compare the 2012 Miami Heat to the 1991 Chicago Bulls. Jordan and Pippen with the only stars everybody else were mediocre players.
9:55. What is up with that Young Jeezy - And Then What Instrumental? It literally gets played every single Cavs home game since 2005, and in every other arena too. I know it was a hot song, but why the particular fixation on it for so long?
Even though Lebron is obviously more efficient now, this version of Lebron was the most fun to watch for me personally.. He was incredible throughout that whole regular season!
Yeah, he was something else those days.
Very, VERY few were as physically gifted as young Lebron.
Probably young Wilt, Jordan, Shaq and maybe David Robinson. Very short list and Lebron is probably at the top of it.

Once in a lifetime player 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 i’m glad I was able to witness his career and Cleveland 2016 championship 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
LBJ is better than MJ, but MJ's legacy is more than LBJ's.
players today are much stronger and more athletic than players in MJ's era,that means LBJ has to play against much tougher ballers.
Never. Lebron legacy is greater than Jordan
Lots of people talk about how boring Lebron's dunks are. I don't believe those people watched him play. First of all, he threw in some nice windmills and reverses on fast breaks. Second, his tomahawk dunk during his first Cleveland run was an unbelievable show of athleticism. A 6'8, 260 lb SF flying towards the rim and throwing it down with ridiculous force. It's the kind of play that might be dimmed when watching on TV, but live and in person it was absolutely ridiculous.
How come I never heard of this dunk on wade before ??? Wtf!!!
my gawwwwwddd. What did I just watch. Can't believe that was only one season.
Chasing a chicken as strong as a rhinoceros 🤣😂
pass at 12:07 was sick
Dwayne wade got posterized 1:14
Daayymnnnn
Yes, He's Back!
2:00 Tell me that doesn't look like Derrick Rose
You mean Derrick rose looks like him. He was doing this before D Rose
This man is the best player today. Lets hope he brings one to his hometown!
you still there? he's 37 now and won his hometown a chip in the most iconic way
The clip when they were wearing pink brought back memories of when he kept dancing on the bench. Lol
Against the Bulls? Noah got mad as fuck that game LMAO
and then what happened wit all tht dancing haaa
He danced his way to 2 rings. And now he got Kyrie and Kevin Love
God damn man look at thoose highlights just sickk
I really think Lebron could have a good chance of beating mj 1 on1. Call me stupid idc because I give 0 fucks.
You're stupid lol
spawngebub say's the one who thinks Lebron's size and strength couldn't over power MJ. MJ might have a few offensive moves he may or may not score on, but how the hell would he stop Lebron from backing him down and laying it in every single time?
Simply amazing
IDK why he stopped being good at shot blocking. John Wall looks more like the king of the chase down block than the KING himself!
Great video, keep up with good work
How to make 260lbs DISAPPEAR: the player
This video gave me the chills..
Afro Bron was different
Alot of 2000s babies dont remember that bron
@@hitlerwearshermes2651 man what how can I forget that bron I grew up around the Cleveland area Fox Sports Ohio I seen all the cavs games
LeBron was just an athletic freak in Cleveland in Miami he improved himself as player by developing a post game, better three point shot and a consistent jumper now he's coming back to Cleveland with no Wade or Bosh this man is gonna be a BEAST!!!!!! just imagine him and kyrie on the fast break wow...
Could you make Kobe 2005-2006 Season Highlight?
GOAAAT 🐐
This is Lebron's prime. He has lost little bit of quickness and hops after four years in Miami.
This was his athletic prime, but his basketball IQ has improved every year.
he lost weight in this offseason to get back his quick, explosive athleticism self. when he was in Miami he kinda bulked up and bullied people in the paint
ElTuco84 i wouldnt say iq improved because he took his team to the finals in 07 but he is meaner back then. He had many legendary moments
He also has photographic memory
awesome and im so glad his coming back. GO CAVS
Cleveland lebron > miami lebron
Miami Lebron is the better player but Cleveland Lebron was more entertaining
Mikeal Jorden Miami LeBron "was" the better player
Mikeal Jorden Man I can't even compare Lebron in miami vs Lebron in Cleveland they just seem like two different players.
Maybe in Cleveland lebron will play as good as in Miami and will Entertain like in 2009 and will become a even greater player then
Maybe in Cleveland lebron will play as good as in Miami and will Entertain like in 2009 and will become a even greater player then
im a lebron fan. rocked wit cle for seven,mia the last four and now cle again been wit him since day one against sacramento
If only he had more help during these years, Bron would have 2 maybe 3 more rings by now.💯
This version of Lebron might’ve been the most fun to watch besides 2028 Lebron. This version of Bron was so unpredictable & raw. He was great but you knew it’s was more he could do & you knew he was gonna go crazy regardless.
I don't know if it's just me but does anyone think James was a better shooter on the Cavs?
Not even close he shot a better percentage from 3 and from field with the heat
he played way better with CLE than Miami
How
he was an awful jumpshooter with cle. he is way better nowadays
He took more threes when he was with the Cavs but he was a more efficient shooter in Miami.. took smarter shots.
Good ol' James! Great vid!
Lebron is the greatest now. Jordan was greatest in his era. The GOAT Decision will be made when lebron career is over
What you think
your channel is the best
Seriously enough with this Lebron and MJ comparison. MJ is the goat. lebron is top 10 player to ever play and will probably be top 5 when he retires. But to compare him to MJ is just insulting.
Lol Lebron shoots a much field goal better percentage averages more assist and rebounds plus only takes 17 shots a game. Jordan had years when he took 27 shots per game. Lebron is going to end up with over 30,000 points 10,000 rebounds and over 10,000 assist... only player in NBA history with those stats. And Lebron never lost in the 1 st round of the playoffs
Kevin Cordova ........ and Jordan never lost in the finals. In the finals he stepped up his game more. It took him 7 years to get to the finals and once he got there he never missed it. Had a 3 peat, retired, and had another 3 peat with a almost a completely different team. 2 three peats! All in 13 years with the bulls. LeBron is already going on his 12th year. Bottom line, 6 for 6 in the finals, 6 finals mvps, never aloud a game 7. Also Jordan only lost by 15 point once in his finals career. Last year all for Miami losses where by 15 points or more. MJ dominated the finals. LeBron does not.
Teams win championships... not players
LeBron may pass him and points and stats like that but he would have played longer than MJ. Also look at the playoff stats.... right now LeBron has played 158 playoffs games, averages 28ppg has a total of 4,419 points. MJ played a total of 179 playoff games, averaged 34ppg has a total of 5,987 points! Look at that! Only 21 more games played and he is ahead by 1,500 points scored. So unless LeBron averages 71ppg in the next 21 playoff games he won't touch that record. It just shows you how Jordan dominated the playoffs so much when he reach the top. Enough kid, I'm done. I can go on forever and explain why MJ is the goat
Kevin Cordova yeah and the Miami team LeBron was on was full of stars. Compare the 2012 Miami Heat to the 1991 Chicago Bulls. Jordan and Pippen with the only stars everybody else were mediocre players.
9:55. What is up with that Young Jeezy - And Then What Instrumental? It literally gets played every single Cavs home game since 2005, and in every other arena too. I know it was a hot song, but why the particular fixation on it for so long?
Put this lebron in jordan era lebron would average 50 a game
Great timing
lebron > jordan by far
I'm tired of people like you comparing LeBron to Jordan. MJ is the GOAT hands down. Wait till LeBron's career is over then compare.
daheatforeal Exactly.
People need to stop doing this stupid shit trying to set Lebron up for criticism.
Jordan is GOAT, LeBron's top 10 all time.
daheatforeal ur exactly right, its my opinion, so better hurry or ull miss the train
daheatforeal A fact is something that be proven and you can't prove Jordan is better
daheatforeal its your opinion that its a fact. so go fact urself
Thank you
When you see mj highlights u see all his highlights this is 1 season...... think about it
