@@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.
@@laymapper6418 It's all opinions at the end of the day. I don't think he's the GOAT. For me it's MJ but he's definitely top 5. Arguably top 3 and he's easily better then Kobe. But yeah bro I feel you.

@@geordiejones5618 If you want to say tied as the greatest slasher, I can see the argument for that, but LeBron's efficiency at the rim is simply in another stratosphere, along with higher volume and way more seasons.

what u mean saved his own career? ray didn't had nun to lose, bron had SUMTIN to lose n Ray SAVED bron azz u jus need to admit it n not only Ray save bron but spurs also Choke to. ginobli n kawhi Choke on free throws in 4th, that's the only reason Miami was still in game not because of Lebron because spurs was choking n missing big opportunities to score while Lebron was choking last 4 minutes of game. but I expect ROOKIE kawhi to Choke. n spurs also Choke game 7 n Tim Duncan with that huge Easy miss over Battier and ginobli wit all dem choking terrible turnovers
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@thegreatestkhan maga? lol that's how I know you were crying as you were typing. And yes Lebron needed that loss to fuel a historic decade of basketball
@@JordanJapan I’m a huge Lebron fan but damn most of y’all aren’t objective whatsoever, that performance was one of the worst performances of all time against an old mavericks team. Jumping teams doesn’t help legacy either, Lebron is an all time great but you cannot in a vacuum say he’s the greatest.
@@thegreatestkhan I do not have Bron as goat but I am not objective? FOH and hell no jumping teams does not hurt his legacy. There were legit reasons to leave each time. You just buy into the mob mentality and do not think for yourself.
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 .
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
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.
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
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.
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. 🤍🤍
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.
@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.

Man he was just unstoppable in those miami years. He was Driving to basket with such ferocity. If i wasn't around to watch jordan in his prime i would tell you he was the greatest of all time. That being said Lebron is a VERY VERY close 2nd. I wouldnt argue anyone who says Hes the GOAT.
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.

The moment KD realized he had to ride the wagon of a 73 win team to beat lebron.
Lebron rode dwade n bosh wagon for a ring n den ray Allen join them to n rode it as well
Juwan Dunbar ray Allen was 36 or 37 and out of his prime so ray was not a superstar
ray was still a all star,3rd best shooter EVER after curry n Reggie Miller and he SAVED Lebron in 2013 finals
Juwan Dunbar people love to not talk about game 7 of the series and before that in the 4th quarter he saved the heat ray Allen did saved the heat but no one talks about how saved his own career
what u mean saved his own career? ray didn't had nun to lose, bron had SUMTIN to lose n Ray SAVED bron azz u jus need to admit it n not only Ray save bron but spurs also Choke to. ginobli n kawhi Choke on free throws in 4th, that's the only reason Miami was still in game not because of Lebron because spurs was choking n missing big opportunities to score while Lebron was choking last 4 minutes of game. but I expect ROOKIE kawhi to Choke. n spurs also Choke game 7 n Tim Duncan with that huge Easy miss over Battier and ginobli wit all dem choking terrible turnovers
LeBron has come a long way. No doubt one of the greatest players of all time.
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!
Moves like Jager was the top songs back then… Feel old yet?
That's what I thought LMAO 😂😂
lyonel Philippe-Auguste on me shit I can’t believe that was almost 7 years ago
Also party rock anthem, harlem shake in an iPhone 3G
The degree of difficulty and strength he uses on these shots and layups are crazy.
2nd greatest player ever!
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
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.

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

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.
Thats King James. I loved him from the bottom of my heart. He is my GOAT
wow. what's scary is he's even better now.
Not sure he's better, honestly..
@@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.
Goatee Bron was a different specimen of human
GOAT* Bron
Lebron was never the goat.
when miami won 2012, i felt so happy for bron. easily 2nd best all time in my eyes 💯💯
Me too I was so happy for him been a fan of him since 2004
Seeing Lebron and Bill Russell shake hands in 2012 is one of the coolest NBA moments for me.
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
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.
bruh lebron is such a damn beast
Now he's fighting the heat for his 4th ring damn greatness!
and he did it
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.
This version of LeBron is the GOAT, what a career.. and he is still going strong. Remarkable
8 pts in the close out game against the mavs?
@@thegreatestkhan maga? lol that's how I know you were crying as you were typing. And yes Lebron needed that loss to fuel a historic decade of basketball

@@thegreatestkhan I do not have Bron as goat but I am not objective? FOH and hell no jumping teams does not hurt his legacy. There were legit reasons to leave each time. You just buy into the mob mentality and do not think for yourself.

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 .
Even the LeBron haters can’t think of a lame excuse (I.e. Allen/Irving saving him) for him winning this series.
8 Years Later LBJ Face Heat at NBA Finals LBJ is Legend
Year is 2020 and this video still gives me the goosebumps. That 2012 Miami Heat atmosphere hit differently.

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
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.
2019, he is still dominating...
wade and lebron connection ftw! one of the best duo in NBA!
Few more years this man will retire and my era of watching nba will never be the same again ever
I love that dance and celebration from James. So happy to see that dude happy.
Can’t wait for him to win this year
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 got the ped edge 😂
Unimited Range2k because Westbrick is awful.
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.
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. 🤍🤍
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.
Lebron cooking this whole team singlehandedly
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.
Add 1 to the NBA CHAMPIONSHIP AND NBA FMVP

Man he was just unstoppable in those miami years. He was Driving to basket with such ferocity. If i wasn't around to watch jordan in his prime i would tell you he was the greatest of all time. That being said Lebron is a VERY VERY close 2nd. I wouldnt argue anyone who says Hes the GOAT.
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
