A Young Dynamic Lebron against Tim Duncan,Tony Parker and Manu ginobili all in there Primes and Gregg Popovivh on top of that there was no way the cavaliers were gonna win that series
And yall like to clown MJ for never winning against Prime Larry Bird and the 60 win Celtics lol. LeBron lost 4 straight against the Celtics of his era.
I love all the analysts in the comment section with “MJ could have never made the finals with this team” or “look how bad lebrons stat line is, MJ would have done better” no one knows and no one will ever know. There’s not even a reason to have a goat argument because different eras, different play styles, different body types, and different positions. Appreciate what MJ did, and appreciate what lebron is doing
@@bill11ringsrussell66 you say Jordan played in the expansion era the Heat,Magic,Hornets in the East were expansion team's yet were good and the Magic even got to the Finals. The other expansion team's were the Grizzles,Raptors,Timberwolves only the Raptors were in the East that sucked. The East was strong due to the Dynasties that ran the 80s (76ers,Celtics,Pistons). Also not too long ago a team in the East made the playoffs with 36 wins I'll Google the team. Jordan dominance in the greatest era of basketball to date. You joke about Jordan hitting game winner's over Elho but praise LeBron who got locked down by an Unathletic 6'1 JJ Barea 😂😂 ooooh the irony.
Na it was to let Lebron shoot! If you watched these highlights you'd see he didn't hit his 1st basket from the field till the 3rd qtr. And in most cases you can still guard him like that in yr. 17! He wont beat you shooting a jumper but goin to the hole and also getting and 1's is where he kills you! Take that away and he's cooked!
@@1ewalk Come on man, you can't still guard him like that in year 17... The Spurs tried this again in 2013 and were quite succesful up until game 5. Since then he's had great fg% games in most playoff games he has played since that time, just look at the all jump shots he made in 2018 playoff run.
Pop put a lot of respect on LeBron game at that age he studied the way LeBron destroyed each team in the east and went for the kill didn't let that 21 year old fool him no one prolly knew LeBron would be top 2 or 3 player ever but pop wasn't gonna let LeBron legacy start with him lol I swear if LeBron won at that age and had the same career he's had now he would no doubt be the goat
Shaquille Joseph He honestly should’ve won, or came close it. Each game was close and he was playing like trash so imagine if he played good, series would’ve gone to 6, maybe 7.

Yea Cavs in 07 was a top 5 team in defense. Funny no bron fans wants to mention that. Funny nobody mentions Daniel Gibson going off for 30 against the Pistons in game 6. The cavs wasn't trash so don't make them out to be one.
@@ultrawweman7265 u don't mention that they play against the spurs the number 1 defense. Cavs was number 19 and spurs 14 on offense Tim Duncan, manu, Parker,pop vs LeBron
@@Thanosdidtherighthing MJ would have pooped his pants this is why I say king james is goat he only played dynasties teams that knew how to when championship dna 💯
This is my first time really researching this series. I always thought they got blown out all 4 games. LeBron actually gave the Spurs 4 fairly tough games. It was a sweep but not an easy one.
Boy you got this man John’s in your hands😂😂😂😂 Mr James scored 14pts in the first game and mid 20s the next three barely made over 5 assists but 14 pts is embarrassing 😂😂😂😂
Lebron gets tripled team and double teamed often because his teammates dont know how to make plays for themselves. Just shows how this team has NO BUSINESS being there in the Finals. Lebron too good!
It is impressive but then again look at who he was playing to get to the Finals. Y’all like to clown Michael Jordan’s finals competition as “weak” but the 2007 East opponents are G-Leaguers compared to them. A 41 win mediocre Wizards team missing Arenas and Butler A 41 win mediocre Nets team with past prime Kidd and Carter A 53 win old declining Pistons team missing Big Ben and coach Larry Brown
if you watched the east in 2007 the cavs actually low key were stacked...the pistons lost ben wallace the bulls were young the heat were old the nets were old the magic were too young the wizards had injuries and the raptors were flawed....the east sucked...the cavs had lebron big z and drew gooden varejao donyell marshall up front which as a 5 some was solid and with larry hughes sasha pavlovic and damon jones in the backcourt they were scary... and daniel gibson came alive from 3 a few times as well to round them out a bit..a tiny bit of eric snow veteran savy as a former member of two finals teams and bam thats a finals team.....this team could defend rebound and played hard
They collapsed on him every time he touched the ball... multiple defenders! The narrative in Miami was he had no post-up game, funny how history shows the truth. Miami's play calling did not want him posting up!
What a time to be alive. LeBron was a freak of nature man. The Spurs went on to do what they did coming from championships earlier. This dude was so young playing a tough team in a tough (still) era.
This was the first time a coach dared lebron to shoot jumpers . and it worked . after this season his jumper got 10x bettwr and he never had that problem again. Its disgusting to think he was 21 years old leading a team that had no business in the finals. Hes the greatest ive ever watched from a talent stand point and i grew up on jordan and watched kobe become the mamba. Lebron is the most explosive complete package ive ever seen . no mattwr who he played there wad a chance he was gunna will his team to a win
Diego Velazquez we not talking about 2011 nba finals 😂 this was 2007 nba finals at 21 years old. That man at that time is the definition of “Prime” nba player

LEBRON IS EXPLOSIVE GOING TO THE RIM IN OPEN .. LEBRON DOESN'T FIGHT TOE TO TOE AND HE WILL GONNA PASS THE BALL OR CALL FOR A SCREEN...FOR ME PASSING IS A COWARD NO KILLER INSTINCT ..
tennisee10 so? How many players through out history have CARRIED a team to the finals at or around that age? If you have an answer for that I'd sincerely like to know
tennisee10 actually the finals was June . Bron Birthday in December. So he was 22. Ik not such a big difference but don’t try and downplay a 22 year old leading a team by himself to the finals Vs a top 3 offensive and defense with the best coach and team in the league 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Can we all agree 2018 LeBron would beat all the teams he lost to in the finals. Like come on he doesn't even play like this anymore he's 10x better now
When u think bout it, he made the finals in his second playoff run. It took him 2 attempts to get to the finals, thats crazy. I sure do miss old cavs bron
I remember watching those finals. People forget that San Antonio with Duncan , Gonobili and Parker had 3 Hall of Fame candidates, they were a hell of a team and had great chemistry. Too much for Cleveland...
Lebron never lost first round in playoffs. MJ didn’t have to play a 70 win team. Also MJ had Phil Jackson as his coach. Lebron never had a God Tier coach. While MJ is the greatest in accolades and overall legacy to basketball, Lebron is arguably a better all around player compared to Jordan. Lebron is a regular triple double threat, and was and overall better playmaker.
rell getting to the finals is a participation trophy saying you dominated your conference not the league lol .MJ won in 91 and 98 without a single all star on his roster 🌝. How many times has Lebron won a ring with no all stars? How many times has he won with a single all star ? Lebron hasn’t won a single ring without playing alongside two all stars lol
Just proves what I feel: he's the best to ever do it, because he's the only one who threatens everyone's favorite players. Jordan and Kobe stans have spent damn near 20 years setting unrealistic expectations for Lebron, because if they don't diminish his achievements he starts to look pretty damn unique. Steve Kerr won with Jordan and beat Lebron, and HE says that him and Jordan stand alone.
@@keanutaiaroa5808its savior mentality. Everyone wants a hero and to them lebron is their hero. He’s like the fallen angel who has the light. Aka Lucifer
Lebron is really different from Kobe and MJ because He was stood alone and carried the team on his back , MJ and Kobe both of them have fav coach and great duo … King Build it different
They felt bad for Curry being surrounded by many players at age 32 but they didn't felt bad for this LeBron at age 21/22, and he dealt with this kind of defense in his 1st 7 years with the Cavs.
If lebron was this aggressive in 2011 against the mavs, the heat would’ve been the champs, this 07 version of bron was on another level from that 2011 one
Thank you!!!!!! This what I be telling people. His ass started getting soft as soon as he felt like he could pass the ball to another star. His mindset went from “whatever it takes to win” to “who do I need to win”
The fact that he made it all the way to the nba finals 5 times w no chip is something that doesn't look bad but impressive on his career, then u add up his rings = g.o.a.t
Bron carried this team to the finals. It's Ok Bron win Cleveland a title. Cavs 2016 NBA champs and had winning seasons in Cleveland in 10 of his 11 seasons.
LeBron carried that team but the east was absolute trash that year compared to the west teams. Not a negative against LeBron because you play who ever is in front of you. That cavs team led the league in defense largely due to LeBron but was probably like the 5th best team in the league that year.
MIKI SUROJ of course in retrospect you can say that the pistons were trash without Wallace, but in 2007, they were a 1st seed, the defending champs Heat had got swept by the bulls in the 1st round and the pistons beat the bulls in the 2nd round. So No one thought of the cavs as a actual challenger and Bron took them to 7, and won The conference on the fuckin road at 21 years old. Come on man, how can you possibly hate?
LeBron got beat by the same big 3 in 2007 and 7 years later in 2014. Now the big 3 are all retired, Spurs are at the bottom but got a promising center, and LeBron is nearing retirement.
Man...I’ve never seen anyone bully Bruce Bowen the LeBron did! Too bad it was one man versus an all time great dynasty. Which, was true of LeBron and some his opponents in multiple scenarios and Finals.
They should've kept painting the Larry O'Brien on the court erry finals, looks so sick. I remember playing NBA Live and putting the court settings so that the trophy would be on the hardwood
A 21 yr old who faced the Superteam San Antonio Spurs But still he didn't backdown to his team but rather they kept on fighting. Lebron James is the Chosen one 🐐
@lukadoncic1306 But its not enough to beat Spurs. A young guy who averaged 20 plus points per game and 8.5 assist per game that make sense. No help from his teammates and that's it
@@motornilabz9763 there’s levels to it. You build your team up and eventually you can beat the best team. Lebron was just young at the time. He still to this day hasn’t learned how to do it
@lukadoncic1306 really ? You cannot beat the best team in the west were such a good talented players and coaches. But eventhough they failed in the nba finals. Lebron build that confident and realized that this is a 5vs5 and not 1vs5
I remember Larry Hughes was injured & missed Games 3 & 4!! He was missed & could've won at least 1 or 2 games because they lost by 3 in Game 3 & Game 4 lost by 1 but it was at the the buzzer..
Jordan is my goat but still dude this was an insanely good spurs team and he was the only player on his team who was an all star caliber player give him credit
Lol and Iverson never went to the finals after that. Lebron brought another set of corpses with him in 2018, so you cannot tell me that at least one of those cavs teams wasn’t worse than the 01 sixers

Cleveland had 0 business in the finals! Lebron had to go through with 3 hall of famers with this team and this is his first finals he’s been to.
Lebron didn't show up
7:30 3 players jumped to block him
Mj never made a final as the only all star at 22 years old👀👀.
MJ never got swept twice in the finals
MJ was never the under dog in the finals either.
El Pinche Chabelo got swept in the first round tho ... But that's nun of my business
Lebron never lost first round in playoffs. MJ didn’t have to play a 70 win team. Also MJ had Phil Jackson as his coach. Lebron never had a God Tier coach. While MJ is the greatest in accolades and overall legacy to basketball, Lebron is arguably a better all around player compared to Jordan. Lebron is a regular triple double threat, and was and overall better playmaker.
rell getting to the finals is a participation trophy saying you dominated your conference not the league lol .MJ won in 91 and 98 without a single all star on his roster 🌝. How many times has Lebron won a ring with no all stars? How many times has he won with a single all star ? Lebron hasn’t won a single ring without playing alongside two all stars lol
Lebrons a diva
Just proves what I feel: he's the best to ever do it, because he's the only one who threatens everyone's favorite players. Jordan and Kobe stans have spent damn near 20 years setting unrealistic expectations for Lebron, because if they don't diminish his achievements he starts to look pretty damn unique. Steve Kerr won with Jordan and beat Lebron, and HE says that him and Jordan stand alone.

Lebron is really different from Kobe and MJ because He was stood alone and carried the team on his back , MJ and Kobe both of them have fav coach and great duo … King Build it different
People act like finals record automatically makes MJ the 🐐 not saying he is not but MJ was on much better teams
Every time he won he was on stacked teams
@@J42274 no but those finals losses definitely don’t make LBJ one
@o4tw382 Yeah facing the greatest team ever put together for 2 years and facing another great dynasty in the spurs for 3 years
They felt bad for Curry being surrounded by many players at age 32 but they didn't felt bad for this LeBron at age 21/22, and he dealt with this kind of defense in his 1st 7 years with the Cavs.
People who know basketball don't even count this finals against lebron ,but the east was weak
@@monsieurimhim6147 if the spurs played the Cavs straight up instead of ignoring everybody else it would of been different they was playing 5 v 1
Steph is not a number 1 pick. Steph played with low draft players in 2015 too.

@@headshotjones7726 the Cavs didn’t have the roster to compete with Spurs.
it’s so crazy how much DEFENSE WAS PLAYED back then
That’s why people don’t respect the modern nba. There no more defense
If lebron was this aggressive in 2011 against the mavs, the heat would’ve been the champs, this 07 version of bron was on another level from that 2011 one
Thank you!!!!!! This what I be telling people. His ass started getting soft as soon as he felt like he could pass the ball to another star. His mindset went from “whatever it takes to win” to “who do I need to win”
He would've had an easy 4 peat, if wade doesn't get injured of course
Bron found a way to make the 2 games in Cleveland close, this was a painful Finals but still so much fun.
Now look at bron 13 yrs later on his way to his 4th ring 👑🐐
He also lost 5 more finals since
@@abadirabdo10 an??? He still a champ
@@abadirabdo10 So making it to the finals and losing is worst than not making the finals at all? Bron haters have some brain cancer
The fact that he made it all the way to the nba finals 5 times w no chip is something that doesn't look bad but impressive on his career, then u add up his rings = g.o.a.t
If i was a Cavs fan I'd burn LeBron's jersey for not leaving sooner
🤣🤣
Bron carried this team to the finals. It's Ok Bron win Cleveland a title. Cavs 2016 NBA champs and had winning seasons in Cleveland in 10 of his 11 seasons.
James championships in Cleveland, Miami and LA
😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭
LeBron carried that team but the east was absolute trash that year compared to the west teams. Not a negative against LeBron because you play who ever is in front of you. That cavs team led the league in defense largely due to LeBron but was probably like the 5th best team in the league that year.
Props to Bron. Deserves to be in the goat conversation. His resume is huge
I cannot believe that the cavs front office literally put this roster together, and told this man to try and win us a title year after year🥴🥴
How did he get this cavs team to the finals . I’m amazed
Any mediocre team has business making the Finals if they play two 0.500 teams and the Pistons without Ben Wallace to make the Finals.
@@mikisuroj4912 exactly
Same on 2017-2018 NBA finals against GSW
MIKI SUROJ of course in retrospect you can say that the pistons were trash without Wallace, but in 2007, they were a 1st seed, the defending champs Heat had got swept by the bulls in the 1st round and the pistons beat the bulls in the 2nd round. So No one thought of the cavs as a actual challenger and Bron took them to 7, and won The conference on the fuckin road at 21 years old. Come on man, how can you possibly hate?
robert mccormick Daniel Gibson dropped 31 points in game 6 against the Pistons. LeBron was 3-14 from the field for 19 points.
When the NBA was watchable and teams were organically made
What’s artificial about today?
This why he’s the goat
that spurs team was so damn good
The Crimson King
@flopping
Spurs are a dynasty 💯
everyone forgets the 2007 spurs roster
duncan parker manu bowen finley horry barry elson oberto vaughn
Duncan's leadership is the foundation that held the shelf of Spurs Championship trophies.
LeBron got beat by the same big 3 in 2007 and 7 years later in 2014.
Now the big 3 are all retired, Spurs are at the bottom but got a promising center, and LeBron is nearing retirement.
Lebron james is truly by himself here. 2017 cavs he got help with Love and has better teamates
They were bad, and z wasn't an all-star until Bron started feeding him.
Kyrie too
Man...I’ve never seen anyone bully Bruce Bowen the LeBron did! Too bad it was one man versus an all time great dynasty. Which, was true of LeBron and some his opponents in multiple scenarios and Finals.
A young Lebron with prime Shaq and alright role players would of got a crap ton of rings.
this team wasnt bad defensively. Lebron was 3/14 in game 6 against the pistons and the cavs won by 18
Nope, you would still have heard he doesn’t have enough help. Bad coaching etc
@Gerald Dunbar At 22 years old with nobody else able to do anything offensively against the most dominant Big 3 of All-Time in their primes? Foh
Lebron had Shaq n still no RING
@@juwandunbar8897 Prime Shaq not Ancient Shaq barely able to move up the court
Larry Hughes missed the last 2 games, the cavs 2nd leading scorer but no one ever mentions that
true that
LMAO 'Lebron James vs the Spurs' not the Cavs vs the Spurs 😂😂😭
They should've kept painting the Larry O'Brien on the court erry finals, looks so sick. I remember playing NBA Live and putting the court settings so that the trophy would be on the hardwood
Gonna miss lebron when he retires
After this series my mans should’ve skated on Cleveland. Just terrible no help!
A 21 yr old who faced the Superteam San Antonio Spurs
But still he didn't backdown to his team but rather they kept on fighting. Lebron James is the Chosen one 🐐
Totally disagree. I could see from his body language he felt inferior to the spurs.
@lukadoncic1306 But its not enough to beat Spurs. A young guy who averaged 20 plus points per game and 8.5 assist per game that make sense. No help from his teammates and that's it
@@motornilabz9763 there’s levels to it. You build your team up and eventually you can beat the best team. Lebron was just young at the time. He still to this day hasn’t learned how to do it
@@motornilabz9763 you push your team through practice and such.
@lukadoncic1306 really ? You cannot beat the best team in the west were such a good talented players and coaches. But eventhough they failed in the nba finals. Lebron build that confident and realized that this is a 5vs5 and not 1vs5
I remember Larry Hughes was injured & missed Games 3 & 4!! He was missed & could've won at least 1 or 2 games because they lost by 3 in Game 3 & Game 4 lost by 1 but it was at the the buzzer..
Yep and in games 1 and 2 he was still injured, if he was healthy cavs win atleast 2 games seeing as game 3 and 4 were close
This Cavs team was so bad but the Spurs were literally a dynasty they keyed in on Lebron the whole series
3 out of these 4 games were close lol
@@X02Overdose did I say they weren’t?
Lebron shot 35.6% for the series. It’s no wonder they got swept 😂
LeBron's first field goal that game was in the 3rd quarter? He would have been roasted on social media today.
22 years old 🐐🔥🔥
Jordan is my goat but still dude this was an insanely good spurs team and he was the only player on his team who was an all star caliber player give him credit
I was 17 in my junior year watching the whole series at home 🏡

Biggest carry of a team ever
All respect to MJ but Lebron is something else
MJ is 6-0
The Cavs had a nice defense and they were keeping it close, but their offense was basically just LeBron
Because the cavs did not practice on using a system to utilize their teammates

'01 Iverson: Did yall watch my Finals

These coverages on a 21 y/o are insane. Hedge every screen, and then bring help on both sides of the paint. The rest of the cavs should be embarrassed that it was so successful

Where can I find the full games to this series?

cleveland didn't deserve the championship they had back in 2016, but lebron did. he deserves all recognition and credit for carrying the franchise.
People just stat sheet watch instead of actually watching the game impossible to shoot efficient when your getting double teamed all series 12:45
If he could only be more efficient. But that spurs team was so experienced.. close games too!
Lebron Choked in that finals
as Bron age he gets better
PG 13PACERNATION To lose more finals

People say Lebron had no help in 2015 vs GS and discredit that championship but no one discredit the spurs championship despite the 07 Cavs being weaker than the 2015 team a Lebron had in the finals
People forgot that Lebron is not even
on his prime in this finals, If I remember this is still Kobe's Era.
