@@laymapper6418 The hate only made him stronger. He was a far completely different animal in his 2nd, 3rd and 4th years in Miami then he was in his 1st back in 2011. All the hate he endured when he 1st joined the Heat created a whole new LeBron no one had ever seen (at the time). That's why he became a back 2 back champ, won back 2 back MVPs and Finals MVPs. He didn't care bout the hate.

LeBron James Led Teams he beat in The NBA Finals 3 Times against The Western Conference Teams were: The 2012 The Oklahoma City Thunder with 3 MVPS The 2013 San Antonio Spurs Dynasty of Tim Duncan and Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard and Greatest Head Coach Gregg Popovich The 2016 Golden State Warriors The Team who won 73 Games along with back to back MVP plus Unanimous Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala and Becoming The First Team to ever come back from 3-1 down to win The NBA Finals.
Okc were young & inexperienced with 3 "Future" Mvps. 2013 barely beat the Spurs but they were old and 73 Warriors got hurt in the Finals plus he had Kyrie going beast mode.
this is why I think he better than Jordan. no one else beating these teams. Golden State and the Spurs STILL have only lost to a Lebron led team in the finals. Shit GS has only lost one series since their 2015 run and it was that finals.
2012: It's about damn time. 2013: I ain't got no worries. 2016: Cleveland! This is for you! 2020: I want my damn respect too. Bron always delivering iconic lines after winning the finals.
I’ll never forget how he destroyed Boston alone in the first half with 45points that’s when I knew he can pass MJ if he keeps that beast mode on. Momma there goes that man!
Bron was playing at an all time level in 2009,2010,2011 but the kind of pressure that was on him in those 2011 finals and the whole season actually shattered him at the moment but damn it created the best prime in nba history 2012 and 2013 lebron james just was on another level of basketball , my dad didn’t believe it none did it was something we have all seen for the first time and will forever be
Terry Chimaobi I wanna see him win at least one or two in LA. It’ll be a special moment. I miss that feeling of seeing my favorite player win a championship.
Not saying LeBron is better than MJ, just think it’s ignorant when people compare the fact that MJ is 6-0 and LeBron is 3-6 in the finals, but they don’t ever mention MJ losing in a first round series 3 times while LeBron has NEVER lost in the first round. MJ had a 15 season nba career in which he went to the finals 6 times but people hate on LeBron for making it there 3 more times in the same amount of seasons SMH. Also MJ had a 1-9 playoffs record before Scottie Pippen was drafted by the Bulls...
It's not his record but he has horrible losses. Dallas series, SA series with the heat. Won in game 7 then lose in 5 and was never close. Beat GS then lose next year. Then the year after that get swept. Those are some horrible losses. But when lebron win he is great but when he loses it's his teammates cant have it both ways. That was great. Then the dallas series he sucks.
Christian Burns Lol everything you just said was either said by Nick Wright and Shannon or trolls on twitter. They don’t mention first round exits bc it’s NOT THE FINALS, do you get a ring for advancing to the 2nd rd or losing a finals? You’re basically praising losing, if getting through the first rd is all that matters then Chris Paul would be a multi champion right now. MJ has LBJ beat in more playoff series wins so even with that he still beats him regardless of finals or not. In 15 yrs MJ went to 6 and won 6. In 15 yrs LBJ went to 9 and won 3. Why don’t you mention that, why is it only finals appearances? If that’s all that matters West is better than LBJ bc he went to more finals. 1-9 without Pippen but you do know when MJ won that first rd he averaged 45 ppg and Pippen averaged 10 ppg as a rookie on the bench playing limited minutes. It was just a coincidence that when MJ finally passed the first rd it was Pippen’s first yr. if it was all Pippen like most say then why did they lose the next rd?
Finals record alone just isn’t a very good way to compare two players. Lebron and MJ have a completely different game and don’t even play the same position. Lol “Jordan is 6-0 in the finals/Lebron James 3-6 Jordan is clearly a much better player as his finals records shows.” Ok so that must mean: James Harden 0-1/ Ron Harper 5-0 Clearly Ron Harper is a better shooting guard than James Harden and you’d much rather have Harper on your team instead of Harden. I’m not saying you in particular I mean in general when people only use finals record to compare any two players.
eazyduzit5150 Bulls were 55-17 without MJ. Also, based on your logic, Bill Russell would be the GOAT with 11 rings? LeBron had no business losing to the Mavericks that’s true, but the 2014 Spurs were one of the greatest years the Spurs played EVER going 62-20 in the regular season with some of the best ball movement we’ve ever seen. Other than that LeBron had to topple one of the best teams EVER ASSEMBLED in the GSW, which he managed to do. MJ NEVER had a finals series even close as difficult. Also, LeBron never had a coach like Phil Jackson, imagine what LeBron’s finals record would be if he was drafted and played for a coach like Gregg Popovich? He’d probably have 7 or 8 rings RIGHT NOW.
But MJ played against a tough Pacers team, and Knicks teams. Never heard of them because of MJ. BUT Please explain how you can be greatest and have a game in the finals like this. ruclips.net/video/sFe8KUEQdn4/видео.html and the person you are guarding and scoring is Jason Terry. ruclips.net/video/oVqFfu0c-Ek/видео.html i.ytimg.com/an_webp/oVqFfu0c-Ek/mqdefault_6s.webp?du=3000&sqp=CJjLv9wF&rs=AOn4CLCJTu8UUrh2_1-rE6qu8Q28tBjJEA Remember this The ALL-Time Great Jason Terry
His Heat days were the best. That why he was winning MVP. More Athletic, offense just as good, and he played elite defense and was first team defensive team.
@tony tonyt I guess he may be better IQ wise and in pockets of full energy, but look at the physical freak of nature he was back then...had already developed his shot by then AND played very elite physical defense unlike now. But I get what you mean I don't think anyone can say he's better than his 2013 mvp version of himself. That's just bullshit.
I was there for this game. I have to say, this was the most proud I’ve ever been to be from Miami, we celebrated like a mf when this game ended. This was the peak of our team for sure. Also, the way the sportscaster kept saying Bosh’s name had me and my family DYING. CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS BUSH.
2017 Warriors would sweep that team. Prime KD would outplay LeBron, Curry/Thompson/Green against washed up Wade and Bosh. That would be like 2017 finals, easy series for Warriors.
One things for sure, Bron has adapted his playstyle so much, thats when you know you are truly great. Back here when he was younger he was way more aggressive, he would drive down the lane through multiple defenders from the 3pt line. Now you dont see this as much, but he still manages to win chips through assists, his 3 pt shot (which has gotten alot better) and the much more calculated drives. goat
Off the court he's trash. Knows nothing about politics and keeps talking about inequality the biggest scam of all. Also tells normal people how to live but he has zero clue how normal people live because he was a celebrity since 6 years old.
That series just crazy man it shows its point but the rest of the episodes won't make any sense, it's just Middle Age themed Athletes talking about who's better
Forever the King. As hard as these years were to watch, at the time - as a Cavs fan, I truly appreciate the player LeBron became in Miami. Without those Heat years, we may have never had our 2016 'ship.
@Gerald Dunbar shut up man cause Kevin Durant join The 73 Win Team that beat him and his back to back Championships and his Finals MVPS with The Warriors are not as better and not as greater than LeBron James Championship Ring and Finals MVP with The Cleveland Cavaliers and I'm not mentioning The Two Championship Rings and Two NBA Finals MVPS that LeBron James won with The Miami Heat and LeBron James Championship with The Cleveland Cavaliers is better than LeBron James winning Back to Back Championship Rings and Back to Back NBA Finals MVPS with The Miami Heat and also Dirk Nowitzki's Championship with The Dallas Mavericks is better and greater than Kevin Durant's back to back NBA Championship Rings and Back to Back NBA Finals MVPS.
Gerald Dunbar LeBron James Led Both Teams in Points Rebounds Assists Steals and Blocks in The 2016 NBA Finals against a 73 Win Warriors Team and LeBron James Scored Back to Back 41 Points in Games 5 and 6 and 27 Point Triple Double in 3 Elimination Games and by coming back from 3-1 down in The NBA Finals and That’s better than Kevin Durant.
@Gerald Dunbar Kevin Durant isn't better than LeBron James cause Kevin Durant is not evening The Leader on his own Team and Kevin Durant can't carry teams on shoulder and Kevin Durant was in his prime when he join The 73 Win Warriors at 27 Years Old and Ray Allen already beating The Heat in 2010 and LeBron led Cavs Team The same year and LeBron James and The Miami Heat beat Ray Allen and The Celtics The next two years and when Ray Allen was 36 years Old and he was in his twilight years in his Career and theirs no need to compare that to Kevin Durant's move to Golden State cause Kd was 27 Years Old in his Prime not Ray Allen cause he was not 27 Years Old.

this is something that KD will never experience. A hard fought and earned championship. Lebron had to join heat to beat teams with big 3 like Boston and Spurs, KD joined a championship team that beat him.
I think during these Finals LeBron scored from every angle, distance, body position with every muscle, joint, tendon with strength, power and finesse. He truly gave everything he had in his mind, body and spirit. And then repeated it in '16 Finals. 4 years on and still the best player in the NBA at 34.
I'm actually glad that Jason kidd and dirk won back in 2011. Come to think of it that was Jason kidds only championship. It took him 17 years to get that one ring .
LeBron, you're my idol since you're in Miami heat. I was 11 years old at that time. I was happy I witness all of your games in youtube. But yes, as what you've said, everything comes to an end. You're still my number 1 idol. 🤍🤍
My favorite moment of 2012 for LeBron James was The Game 6 in a Elimination Game at TD Garden in Boston and LeBron James Beat The Celtics by himself and snitched their hearts out of their chest and he beat them down for good and it's almost like Michael Jordan getting past The Bad Boy Pistons in 1991 the year when Michael Jordan won his First Championship.
No version of kd is better than this lebron and he knows that. We don’t know how good kd is now even, he’s been with curry and klay etc. I don’t think the past two title Versions of kd wins a ring if he was still with okc. My opinion

LeBron has come a long way. No doubt one of the greatest players of all time.
Bron was playing at an all time level in 2009,2010,2011 but the kind of pressure that was on him in those 2011 finals and the whole season actually shattered him at the moment but damn it created the best prime in nba history 2012 and 2013 lebron james just was on another level of basketball , my dad didn’t believe it none did it was something we have all seen for the first time and will forever be
The degree of difficulty and strength he uses on these shots and layups are crazy.
2nd greatest player ever!

I wish he would too, but it's highly unlikely.
I'll cry alone for sure if that'd happen.

@@LakersFanSinceJulyst And he blew it in 2011.
Not saying LeBron is better than MJ, just think it’s ignorant when people compare the fact that MJ is 6-0 and LeBron is 3-6 in the finals, but they don’t ever mention MJ losing in a first round series 3 times while LeBron has NEVER lost in the first round. MJ had a 15 season nba career in which he went to the finals 6 times but people hate on LeBron for making it there 3 more times in the same amount of seasons SMH. Also MJ had a 1-9 playoffs record before Scottie Pippen was drafted by the Bulls...
It's not his record but he has horrible losses. Dallas series, SA series with the heat. Won in game 7 then lose in 5 and was never close. Beat GS then lose next year. Then the year after that get swept. Those are some horrible losses. But when lebron win he is great but when he loses it's his teammates cant have it both ways. That was great. Then the dallas series he sucks.
Christian Burns
Lol everything you just said was either said by Nick Wright and Shannon or trolls on twitter.
They don’t mention first round exits bc it’s NOT THE FINALS, do you get a ring for advancing to the 2nd rd or losing a finals? You’re basically praising losing, if getting through the first rd is all that matters then Chris Paul would be a multi champion right now. MJ has LBJ beat in more playoff series wins so even with that he still beats him regardless of finals or not.
In 15 yrs MJ went to 6 and won 6.
In 15 yrs LBJ went to 9 and won 3.
Why don’t you mention that, why is it only finals appearances? If that’s all that matters West is better than LBJ bc he went to more finals.
1-9 without Pippen but you do know when MJ won that first rd he averaged 45 ppg and Pippen averaged 10 ppg as a rookie on the bench playing limited minutes. It was just a coincidence that when MJ finally passed the first rd it was Pippen’s first yr. if it was all Pippen like most say then why did they lose the next rd?
Finals record alone just isn’t a very good way to compare two players. Lebron and MJ have a completely different game and don’t even play the same position. Lol
“Jordan is 6-0 in the finals/Lebron James 3-6
Jordan is clearly a much better player as his finals records shows.”
Ok so that must mean:
James Harden 0-1/ Ron Harper 5-0
Clearly Ron Harper is a better shooting guard than James Harden and you’d much rather have Harper on your team instead of Harden.
I’m not saying you in particular I mean in general when people only use finals record to compare any two players.
eazyduzit5150 Bulls were 55-17 without MJ. Also, based on your logic, Bill Russell would be the GOAT with 11 rings? LeBron had no business losing to the Mavericks that’s true, but the 2014 Spurs were one of the greatest years the Spurs played EVER going 62-20 in the regular season with some of the best ball movement we’ve ever seen. Other than that LeBron had to topple one of the best teams EVER ASSEMBLED in the GSW, which he managed to do. MJ NEVER had a finals series even close as difficult. Also, LeBron never had a coach like Phil Jackson, imagine what LeBron’s finals record would be if he was drafted and played for a coach like Gregg Popovich? He’d probably have 7 or 8 rings RIGHT NOW.
But MJ played against a tough Pacers team, and Knicks teams. Never heard of them because of MJ.
BUT Please explain how you can be greatest and have a game in the finals like this. ruclips.net/video/sFe8KUEQdn4/видео.html and the person you are guarding and scoring is Jason Terry. ruclips.net/video/oVqFfu0c-Ek/видео.html i.ytimg.com/an_webp/oVqFfu0c-Ek/mqdefault_6s.webp?du=3000&sqp=CJjLv9wF&rs=AOn4CLCJTu8UUrh2_1-rE6qu8Q28tBjJEA Remember this The ALL-Time Great Jason Terry

@@danyalkazmi1400 how ? He still putting up nasty numbers. He went crazy in the playoffs
Offensively yes. 2013 was his best year though imo. You can argue last year tho.
His Heat days were the best. That why he was winning MVP. More Athletic, offense just as good, and he played elite defense and was first team defensive team.
@tony tonyt I guess he may be better IQ wise and in pockets of full energy, but look at the physical freak of nature he was back then...had already developed his shot by then AND played very elite physical defense unlike now. But I get what you mean
I don't think anyone can say he's better than his 2013 mvp version of himself. That's just bullshit.
I was there for this game. I have to say, this was the most proud I’ve ever been to be from Miami, we celebrated like a mf when this game ended. This was the peak of our team for sure.
Also, the way the sportscaster kept saying Bosh’s name had me and my family DYING.
CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS BUSH.
The most dramatic NBA playoffs of the 2010s! Right there next to 2013 and 16
Bron won today to make 4 rings just rewatching all his championship series.... 🐐
This is how it is when Lebron and KD are matched up with equally talented teams...KD can't fuck with Lebron!!
KD had a better team in this matchup
This is the time that no one can stop prime LB. 💪💯
Goatee Bron was a different specimen of human
GOAT* Bron
Lebron was never the goat.
This Miami Heat team was light years better than OKC.
Prime LeBron couldn't be stopped
Sharpshooter 02 nope. Heat were just better team
Sharpshooter 02 No just stop
Sharpshooter 02 Nah prolly not tbh
Sharpshooter 02 ok boomer 👍🏿
2017 Warriors would sweep that team. Prime KD would outplay LeBron, Curry/Thompson/Green against washed up Wade and Bosh. That would be like 2017 finals, easy series for Warriors.
Now he's fighting the heat for his 4th ring damn greatness!
and he did it
One things for sure, Bron has adapted his playstyle so much, thats when you know you are truly great. Back here when he was younger he was way more aggressive, he would drive down the lane through multiple defenders from the 3pt line.
Now you dont see this as much, but he still manages to win chips through assists, his 3 pt shot (which has gotten alot better) and the much more calculated drives. goat
bruh lebron is such a damn beast
Thats King James. I loved him from the bottom of my heart. He is my GOAT
My role model on and off the court!
I'm sure kababayan kita
Off the court he's trash. Knows nothing about politics and keeps talking about inequality the biggest scam of all. Also tells normal people how to live but he has zero clue how normal people live because he was a celebrity since 6 years old.
Seeing Lebron and Bill Russell shake hands in 2012 is one of the coolest NBA moments for me.
Serge Ibaka be like: "I can guard anyone, except LeBron!" - from game of zones BR 😂
That series just crazy man it shows its point but the rest of the episodes won't make any sense, it's just Middle Age themed Athletes talking about who's better
Forever the King. As hard as these years were to watch, at the time - as a Cavs fan, I truly appreciate the player LeBron became in Miami. Without those Heat years, we may have never had our 2016 'ship.
LeBron James has 4 League MVPS and 3 NBA Finals MVPS with 3 NBA Championship Rings and 3 NBA All Star MVPS.
@Gerald Dunbar shut up man cause Kevin Durant join The 73 Win Team that beat him and his back to back Championships and his Finals MVPS with The Warriors are not as better and not as greater than LeBron James Championship Ring and Finals MVP with The Cleveland Cavaliers and I'm not mentioning The Two Championship Rings and Two NBA Finals MVPS that LeBron James won with The Miami Heat and LeBron James Championship with The Cleveland Cavaliers is better than LeBron James winning Back to Back Championship Rings and Back to Back NBA Finals MVPS with The Miami Heat and also Dirk Nowitzki's Championship with The Dallas Mavericks is better and greater than Kevin Durant's back to back NBA Championship Rings and Back to Back NBA Finals MVPS.
Gerald Dunbar LeBron James Led Both Teams in Points Rebounds Assists Steals and Blocks in The 2016 NBA Finals against a 73 Win Warriors Team and LeBron James Scored Back to Back 41 Points in Games 5 and 6 and 27 Point Triple Double in 3 Elimination Games and by coming back from 3-1 down in The NBA Finals and That’s better than Kevin Durant.
@Gerald Dunbar Kevin Durant isn't better than LeBron James cause Kevin Durant is not evening The Leader on his own Team and Kevin Durant can't carry teams on shoulder and Kevin Durant was in his prime when he join The 73 Win Warriors at 27 Years Old and Ray Allen already beating The Heat in 2010 and LeBron led Cavs Team The same year and LeBron James and The Miami Heat beat Ray Allen and The Celtics The next two years and when Ray Allen was 36 years Old and he was in his twilight years in his Career and theirs no need to compare that to Kevin Durant's move to Golden State cause Kd was 27 Years Old in his Prime not Ray Allen cause he was not 27 Years Old.

this is something that KD will never experience. A hard fought and earned championship. Lebron had to join heat to beat teams with big 3 like Boston and Spurs, KD joined a championship team that beat him.
I love that dance and celebration from James. So happy to see that dude happy.
wade and lebron connection ftw! one of the best duo in NBA!
Durant couldn't guard this man at all, he's constantly blowing past Durant in this series
Nobody can guard bron KD tried though can’t have everything .. u know
I think during these Finals LeBron scored from every angle, distance, body position with every muscle, joint, tendon with strength, power and finesse. He truly gave everything he had in his mind, body and spirit.
And then repeated it in '16 Finals.
4 years on and still the best player in the NBA at 34.
Can’t wait for him to win this year
2019, he is still dominating...
Few more years this man will retire and my era of watching nba will never be the same again ever
Lebron cooking this whole team singlehandedly
I'm actually glad that Jason kidd and dirk won back in 2011. Come to think of it that was Jason kidds only championship. It took him 17 years to get that one ring .
Giannis could learn a thing or two from this version of bron. He was so agile. Amazing body control. You don’t have to run people over everytime
😅😅😅😅
No one can go toe to toe with the heel goatee version of james . Too strong too fast too explosive
LeBron, you're my idol since you're in Miami heat. I was 11 years old at that time. I was happy I witness all of your games in youtube. But yes, as what you've said, everything comes to an end. You're still my number 1 idol. 🤍🤍
My favorite moment of 2012 for LeBron James was The Game 6 in a Elimination Game at TD Garden in Boston and LeBron James Beat The Celtics by himself and snitched their hearts out of their chest and he beat them down for good and it's almost like Michael Jordan getting past The Bad Boy Pistons in 1991 the year when Michael Jordan won his First Championship.
Not only that, but he also busted up the Celtics' big 3 and Ray Allen ended up in Miami a year later.
I think that was the best playoff game of his career
Cold blooded
Holy cow lebron was actually so clutch this series
I guess we could say LeBron outdid himself this season. Major props King James!!!!
Man thoise were the good ol days of NBA. Miss those days so much
This is so nostalgic i wish nba was this hype because its not the same nba anymore
No version of kd is better than this lebron and he knows that.
We don’t know how good kd is now even, he’s been with curry and klay etc. I don’t think the past two title Versions of kd wins a ring if he was still with okc. My opinion

Doughnut Joughnut he also had bosh and wade
Actually incredible how bron has adapted his game over the past 10 years. Not many players could do what he had to do in a career
in an era dominated by slow play, the heat absolutely dominated every team on the fast break. the way that the entire big 3 sped up in transition for 48 minutes straight was an unstoppable force
Most aggressive version of LeBron. Really wanted that first ring so bad!
The best I’ve ever seen a basketball player play
Lebron was so much faster and so much explosive in his miami days than he is now
Jake Hartup well duh he was younger lmaoo bro was 27 in his prime
