- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2022
- They always say there is a difference between the regular NBA season and the postseason, but for a player like LeBron James there HAS to be a difference so he can continue to play at a high level 20 years since he was drafted.

2018 year 15 Lebron, was probably the best player that I've ever witnessed with my own eyes.
@@bryrashad lebronto must see tv! 🍿🔥
Facts ! Same thing for me
That 2nd stint in Cleveland period was sick
Totally a monster. Took 4 allstarts (warriors) to beat cleveland that year
Facts, I Cried When He Lost Game 1 Of The NBA Finals
“They weren’t the better team, we got outsmarted by that man”. Imagine if he was drafted to a competent organization who brought in a hall of fame coach.
His mind is his superpower, his killer instinct. We need to stop the MJ comparisons, they are completely different players with completely different mindsets and skill sets. But their drive for winning is the same, it just looks different.
W comment.
Not gonna lie... This is true, with a great coach, an organization that could've taken advantage of him fully.
Best comment! Lebron and Jordan r so different to compare isn’t fair, aT the end tho they both wanna win more than anything else.
“It just looks different” exactly 🎯 mfs need to stop comparing they both the greatest in their positions
It makes no sense that ppl still hate him for leaving. Nobody ever gets dealt the same cards so how could ppl possibly expect the same result? Craziness. As a KG fan, I couldn’t wait until the day he left Minnesota.
Bron boutta go into his 20th season in the national basketball association, and he's still a top 5, top 10 player in the league. Shit is ridiculous.
The goat 🐐
Top 1
Oh no but let a Bron hater tell it, Lebron sucks lol funny thing is if you ask them why they don’t like him they all start off with he’s soft and he’s always flopping lol that’s all they can ever say 🤣🤣
Top 3 fasho
@@celestialprime8851 pisses me off cuz they act like 18yo lebron was out there floppin....he's done it here and there after like age of 30 ....act like his total game based off flopping
That 2018 playoffs run made cry deadass.
Best individual player ive everr seen! Bonkers what he was doing with what he had around him
Yeah especially when Lebron got swept in the 2018 Finals.
@@jaydubb2005 Look at the rosters and tell me what player you could swap for Bron that would’ve done any better? First game against a team with 4 HoFs he drops 51 8 8. Did you want him to go 70 15 12? I seriously don’t understand the hate that some of y’all come with. He doesnt have to be your favorite player or even like him but if you love or even like basketball I can’t fathom how you can objectively hate
Playoff run going to game 7s against Victor oladipos pacers and rookie Jason tatums Boston? Soon as he played a real team he got swept.
@@notcoolkev3770 KD warriors bruh nah lol no way anyone was beating that. Cavs were trash outside of Bron
lebron only missed 2 finals between 2010 to 2020. That is legendary.
And that’s the thing. Handy had the integrity to do what these other clowns won’t: admit when they were wrong about Bron. They sit on TV and talk a whole bunch of foolishness,only to be quieter than church mice when they are CLEARLY proven wrong. That goes for ALL athletes when pundits and anyone else making outside noise are wrong
Very few can do this
@@FireAngelChris In general,in this world,folks hate admitting when they are wrong
@@FreeRoyalPowerHour Nope it’s a very difficult task for them to do
Agreed and LeBron is objectively a top2 playoff performer of the last 50 years with MJ (Hakeem/Kareem/Bird/Shaq prob next after that at their best).
@@superdopehiphop I put Bird and Magic well above Shaq,along with Duncan and a few others. But,Lebron is top 2 and,in some instances,not 2,
Dont let Lebron's longevity work against him. He first decade plus he played all out on both ends of the floor hence the 6 all nba defensive teams. Watch his games first time with Cavs and every year with the Heat. Once he got older when other all time greats had stopped playing well or retired by their 14th, 15th season etc Lebron conserved energy to still remain a top 5, 10 player in the league!
lol he just lost the best player in the world title in 2021 just think about how insane that is.
Who’d he lose it to?
@@deonjackson7225 Giannis to me is now the best in the league but I suppose it’s arguable for others
NONE of these records were 'longevity awards' before Bron started taking them. Don't forget. They were called records. Remember that.
@@jasonredic9457 This is facts
YALL ARE KILLING IT. I LOVE HOW y’all actually break down bball
Like Gil be like fuck the narratives lol ima break it down.
That was the older Bron he had to conserve energy. Smart move. Now he even older but his squad is mediocre at best.
Definitely not mediocre we’re a Westbrook trade away from being a top 5 team in the west
Handpicked squad
@@4ransom437 no way no how. They worst without Westbrook and the trades rumored won't help much.
@@4ransom437 It depends...i mean if the Nets cant even find a trade partner for KD...trading Russ for good value is probably impossible. If this was Russ from a few years ago, sure they could easily trade him for a piece and go for the chip but I dont know how easy such a trade is right now.
@@mostmost1 u just made 0 sense
2018 LeBron is the greatest player to ever touch a basketball. He was just INSANE that year
Yoo Phil Handy is the GOAT, great to see him as a guest on the show.
For Lebron to be the ultimate teacher he must be the ultimate student 🔥💯
Yes, young grasshopper 🧘♀️
To bad he never had a good teacher😱
@@badmiracle3560 did God have a teacher?
Facts
Certified!!
Now if this is 100% true for the past 7-8 years of his career look at what he’s done going mid during that time Lebron is my guy and as much as I want to call cap on this I remember that far often he looks like he’s just playing with his food!! Other then those big matchup games! It’s crazy when you hear Lebron haters talk with no real substance and then hear people that really knows what’s going on when it comes to Lebron!!! People need to really listen to what Gilbert is saying……..
This is 1000% very accurate. LeBron does seem like he's out there going 50% in a lot of games and just playing with his food taking awkward shots and trying new things within the realm of trying to win the game also. If he chose to go playoff mode all season long, his numbers would be WILD.
@@p.faustin301 him and Westbrook got most of the Miss 3s in the NBA
@@budlightcrew5463 well thats not even true🤣 westbrick only shot 3 3s a game last season, hell steph was missing 7 3s a game last season so please make that make sense??🤣
@@minnievsx3977 makes lot's of sense 🤣 they couldn't even make the play in 👍
Just wait till the stories come out when he retires. The greatest ever. The biggest lie ever told in sports history is that: he’s not a killer, he’s not clutch, he can’t shoot, he’s not super skilled, his defense is iffy, etc…no one elevates the way he does.
was Kobe a “killer” when he lost 3 in a row to PHX in the 1st round. The season everyone loves to forget?
Facts bruv
He just averaged 30ppg last season. That's at 37 years old. Now, there are still people who think he couldn't average 35ppg in his prime. I'm just like, okay. Nevermind the regular season, in his prime, he did this in the playoffs. It would be easier in the regular season right? Not harder.
People really think the all-time scoring list has bad scorers on it though. Like, he's clearly at that level as a scorer and those are the facts. Prime LeBron today? He just gave you 30ppg at age 37. That's 40ppg in his prime. This isn't your 'hypothetical' Jordan talk. No like, that's proof. Hard evidence Bron could do that and we saw it this past season.
I love it when nba guys sit around and give insight to us normal everyday guys about Lebron James greatness!
This is the same NBA guys who said Giannis don't know how to play basketball...
@@okirrama3587 skill wise he doesn’t he’s going off pure athleticism
playoff Bron as a Celtic fan i can say its SCARY
Truth. And as a Raptor fan, and a Hawks fan, and a Bulls fan, and a Pistons fan, and a Wizards fan, and a Pacers fan it's still true.
I mean some players don’t even have 10 years in the league let alone 14+. He’s moving smart
Major Facts 🎯
Best Lebron ever was in Miami when excepted the villain role with the BLACK MASK. Was unstoppable
From 2012 - 2020, a nine-year after he lost to the Mavs, here are LeBron's averages during the regular season, playoffs, and finals:
Regular season:
26.5 pts, 7.8 reb, 7.8 ast, 1.5 stl, 0.7 blk on 53% FG, 36% 3PT, and 72% FT.
Playoffs:
29.2 pts, 9.4 reb, 7.3 ast, 1.7 stl, 0.9 blk on 52% FG, 34% 3PT, and 74% FT.
Finals:
30.4 pts, 10.9 reb, 8.0 ast, 1.8 stl, 0.9 blk on 50% FG, 37% 3PT, and 74% FT.
So yeah, Playoff LeBron is real.
Holy shit I knew he had good numbers but 30 11 and 8 on 50/37 for 8 finals against almost all great teams is insane
Not
@@jakeharrison207 nah every team he played against is all time great honestly. Even the Mavs. They swept Kobe’s Lakers that had just gone to the Finals 3 times straight
@@JohnnySensei7 also that lakers team is healthy with non injured Bynum. but they are out smart by veteran players. that's they got swept
LeBron on "cruise" has finished practically top 5 in regular season MVP voting for the last 10-15 years damn near.
Not bad.
He went super saiyan in the 16 finals
THAT CHILLING BRON IN THE REGULAR SEASON IS ACTUALLY CANDIDATE EVERY YEAR TO WIN MVP. IMAGINE IF HE REALLY TAKES IT SERIOUSLY JUST FROM THE GET GO.
The playoffs are when superstars in the regular season become legends. If you look at LeBron’s averages, they go up during the playoffs.
finally someone got Coach Handy on! really forwardd to it!
I rather here from phil handy or players more than talk shows or media pundits and their sources 😂😂
Bro that 15-17 Bron was the epitome of Athleticism!
2012-2015 is his peak athleticism tho but after that he was just a basketball god
That zero dark 23.....😅 Goosebumps
Imagine how to good you have to be to cruise to the playoffs…
Yea when you make the playoffs every year for years you have to come up with a way to extend your career and deep playoff play
or not make the playoffs at all
@@jaydubb2005 that’s recently became a thing he had 13 years of playoffs in a row that’s what I’m referring to but thanks for replying
Just stack your team and your body with steroids like he does
Playoff Bron the best player ever. Give Bron from 2012-2020. Greatest playoff peak ever. If u know ball it’s not only about wins and loses and he still have 4 chips and 4 FMVP’s.
Lebron is 22-33 in the finals.. and he’s played with 21 top 5 draft picks since 2010. Longevity stats don’t equal greatness

@@notcoolkev3770 man fuck on with your weird as logic lol 21 top 5 draft picks?? What does that even supposed to prove.

Kobe played with a top 10 player of all time shaq for 3 of his rings . Just admit you a Lebron hater with only Skip bayless and meme logic lol
😂😂😂casual lol look up jordan stats in the playoffs in a tough league at that not these Candy rules
Of course it not about wins and loses when you lose 5 Finals in tht span and get outplayed by a role player in one of them 😂🤦🏽♂️
Great show
"Zero dark 23" lmfao
This is mind breaking 🔥🔥💯💯
Need the full one
If you use all of your bullets in the present war, you have nothing to fight with for future wars.. Bron realized early the secret to longevity. He mastered how to calculate his moves..
07lebron vs pistons i had tears watchin that game he wasn't human . scored last 25 points of that game just imaging that
I wish I could have seen him play
Work smart not harder !
Release the full EP fast fast 😅
If only cavs were serious about winning from the start and actually tried to bring in players and good coaches. Lebron would have at least 8 rings now.
Probably more fam you right cavs are ruined LeBron career
NO!!Think about this they play GSW first time kyrie and love hurt!LeBron score more then both team combine and lost,next year kyrie back and love came back from 3-1,Next year draymond call KD cause he knew they couldn't beat lebron alone,this 7 rings he shd have.Smh
Love nba stories
The only player thats going to be 40k 10k 10k and he did it while not going all out.
That is CRAZY when you really think about how LeBron got there, going about 70% for the majority of his 20year career , excluding playoffs 😭
Remember when people said he gave up on his team against Boston,scoring 27,19 and 10?😂
@@FreeRoyalPowerHour mostly Skip Bayless tbh, anyone who watched him back then knew how great he was and that he did all he could
@@geebster. I have seen many former NBA “greats” knock Lebron for not playing hard every millisecond of every game. It’s not just Skip’s clown ass. This is something Tim Legler has talked about. This is something Stephen A Smith has talked about. All when it’s convenient for them. But,when they are proven to be wrong,they are nowhere to be found. It’s laughable to me,but that’s media. Shoutout to Draymond and JJ for starting to strip that power from these clowns
@@FreeRoyalPowerHour he averaged 27 9 and 7.. the last 3 games of the series he shot 32% from the field and went 2-11 from 3. He averaged 21 points the last 3 games. Bron fans love to rewrite history and just post numbers. Put things into context and you’ll see why people say he gave up that series.
Regular season Bron = better than everyone else
Playoff Bron= can only be compared to MJ
22-33 finals record vs Jordan 24-11 finals record. No playoff comparison there buddy.
@@notcoolkev3770 now let's mention the finals teams he has had to play 17 warriors >97,98 jazz, 96 sonics, 92 blazers, 93 suns , 91 lakers who was missing worthy for a game or two! Lmao all u do is spam his finals record in the comments u weirdo
@@mikewang3586 let’s mention lebron played with 21 top 5 draft picks since 2010 and still lost 6 finals in that period. Superteam Miami lost to Dallas and Spurs and you jump to warriors lol???

Lebron couldn’t beat warriors is not Jordan’s fault jordan was able to beat two hall of famers(the all time leader in assists in nba history and the player who won mvp in 97 the second Leading scorer in nba history) jordna beat those two in 6 games without multiple top 5 draft picks Lol keep coming with the excuses why lebron is 22-33 in the finals!
@@notcoolkev3770 Kyrie and Love was hurt the first time they played in the finals also.
@@notcoolkev3770 hahahahha u have no idea what u are talking about
Gil was high af this episode 😤🤣😂
Yea those smiley faces on his jacket says it all. Lol.
Was Gil talking about the 2017-2018 Cavs? Kyrie was gone, Love was in and out and the team was in danger of not making the playoffs? Bron had to play all 82 games to ensure they got into the post season. That was more impressive compared to the 06-07 season when he got to the finals the first time considering all circumstances involved.
Was thinking the same. Lebron was absolutely unstoppable that year.
nah he was still talking about 14-15, just confused k love going down for kyrie going down in those finals. his 36-13-9 average was from the first cavs vs gsw series
@@nytimes474 Love went down in previous series before finals. Kyrie went down in game 1.

Facts I’ve been searching the net
its 2023 and Lebron is still the best and now is the final round be in the NBA finals and it was a mind blowing Lebron is build different 38yrs old damn! 🤯🤯🤯
facts
2018 Bron was just crazy I never see anything like it
Imagine if MJ and Bron is playing together. What could have been?
Wow. Kudos
Bron definitely said F everyone, imma get these numbers last season lol
Facts.
Yeah played zero defense he wanted that scoring title bad asf 😂
Shit can you blame him 😂
I agree 100% and in season 19 and all those minutes logged in, he still almost did it. What Gill is saying is, imagine a prime Lebron doing what he did last year with youth on this side. . . How do you stop him if his main objective was to score? You can't and you really wouldn't be able to.
I would say that but he chose not to play one more game to win the scoring title and the times they won really was when he put up big numbers.
When I hear not playing hard, that usually revolves playing defense, especially team defense, rotating/helping, making the extra effort. Not sure that’s to be applauded, although the strategy is understood.
No star plays 100% all out every game of the regular season.
@@danielussat1071 They just hold Bron to a standard they don’t hold anyone else to even when he older
@@FireAngelChris absolutely
@@danielussat1071 So easy to see
That’s what I’m thinking. That’s why I said he had potential to be the goat but he doesn’t give it his all
Bron is year 20 and still top 5 player in the league Dude is honestly the goat
You can not like the man all you want, but if you're a true basketball fan and deny what he is doing, you're just a hateful person in general. You're doing a disservice to yourself by saying you are an NBA fan.
The human body is a resource. Like it's detrimental to workout hard everyday, you gotta take easy days in the regular season especially as you grow older.
That playoffs series against the raptors and the Celtics made me a Lebron fan
2008 & 2009 & 10 bron was all in for winning & going for stats & 18 & just last season with Russ
So what happen when u and him and that big conversation
1:03
Zero Dark 23 😤😤😤 that’s a tuff nickname for Playoff Lebron
Are you joking? He dont run back on defense, and he plays garbage time til he hits 30 points, once he hits his quota he leaves.
David, he may be doing this now in season 19 but it was a losing season. I guarantee a lot of young NBA players wish they could even do that and simply can't. It isn't as easy as you make it out to be. He has paid his dues and there is no way he can play high intensity on both ends of the court.
That 2015 finals he lead both teams in every statistical category. Just think about that. Wtf
Handy from Philly ?
I love it
They see it.

Basically explaining why he loses so much.. MJ and Kobe didn't have cruise control.. they didn't take games off.
This is a lie but ok
this a lie but u tried it lmaoo, bron just faced more comp
We can appreciate the greatest of Lebron without shitting on James Harden and Kobe. Kobe wanted to prove to the basketball world that he could win without shaq. James Harden wanted to lead his own team to a Championship. It's not stat padding to me, those guys including Lebron did what was necessary for their team to win.
He didn’t down them he was just saying they had a year where they brought out their bag for real and that they were unstoppable on a one on one level and LeBron has never did that except the small part of the playoff run But Gil has been saying this for years that Bron ain’t showed people what he is real capable of doing when he empty his bag out lol almost as if he just be sparring people
Lebrons never had a selfish year?????? 😂😂😂😂
When?
When? I've never heard any of his teammates said he played selfish or was selfish. You're just talking to talk
LeBron is cool but that Kobe content fire

@@daelin9759 your mama

@@johndoe8288 MJ played more 82 game seasons than LeBron and had less injuries in his career. Next.
That’s why I like Michael Jordan so much and I believe he and Kobe are on another level they didn’t take games off no matter what!Its easy to have a long career when you don’t give it your all every play if I was his teammate hearing this would definitely upset me!
Put this into perspective… No disrespect to MJ or Kobe. LBJ is just as good if not better playing at 50% during regular season. During the playoffs at max effort stats show, individually , he’s better than both…
Who’s on another level? The player who gives his all every game to win or the player who’s on cruise mode and is still better than everyone else on the court while also winning? 😅
9 straight finals, that is a whole season.
Jordan took two years off between two three peats. Easy to three peat again when you take years off based on your argument right ?
That jacket one size too big on Gil fr fr
Watch one playoff game and you see why these dudes dont play hard in regular season. If they did they wouldn't last 30 games. I been realized that, thats why i stopped complaining about regular season play hard nonsense.
I think Phil Handy was better off being the head coach for the cavs over Ty Lue & David Blatt

No, no one forgets that. I hope you have a great almost 20 year career in your field of work and then your boss or coworkers say to you “do you remember those 3 years when you weren’t great” childish
So it's fact he lebron don't play hard all the time and people wonder why we say it's different levels...Jordan kobe lebron..other two played hard every game
Jordan took yearly breaks. The other wasn't shit in his final seasons. James in his 20th is still averaging 30. Don't ever compare them.
Bron > Kobe, RIP but let’s not make Kobe greater than he was.
These playoffs comparison for goat status is moot. In the early career of Jordan when he got bounced and so forth. He played in an era where there were 5 game series. If LeBron had played during a 5 game series he would not have made some of those finals...let's think about that.
🧢
If they beat u 3 years in a row then they ARE the better team
Bron is just not the animal that a lot of people see him as. Period. He's just not.
BUT if Lebron went into high gear in the regular season he probably wouldnt be that good in the playoffs especially if hes conserving himself 82 games
The difference is he's not making the play in or playoffs 👏
