Miami heatles was the only run when i didnt miss a single game. Woke up at 330am just to watch their game here in the Philippines. Most fun squad ive seen.
Everyone thinks about the offensive duo of bron and wade. But when both were locked in defensively they were the best defensive duo in the nba as well.
EXACTLY! It is all about the gate keeping of MJs myth! And if you look at it, it was so bad that they gave it to Marc gasol and he didn't even make the all nba first team defense! 😂😂
This was bad, but the favorable whistle MJ used to get alongside the ILLEGAL DEFENSE rule he benefited from so much are even worse in my book. MJ was a very good player, but the MARKETING and the promotion to make him way bigger was/is out of this world. To the point they released an MJ tribute SERIES soon after Lebron broke Kareem's record.

Thibs didn't like playing the younger players too often and this was a few years before floor spacing and shooting high volume threes became widespread.
@@sholovesholove4620 you think the concept of spacing the floor is something that just entered the NBA in the last 10 years? The primary goal of the triangle offense was to provide floor spacing.
@@47SK29 Thank you for mentioning that for spreading was a HUGE part of the triangle. That type of spreading was systematic, and the main reason the bulls win 6 championships. But spacing in the last 10 years is not a result of a system. It is a result of the prevalence of the 3pt shot. And not just the 3 point shot, the rise of EVERY position being able to shoot mid range and 3s. In years past, the game was played from inside- out and the only "space" available was mid range and the 3. Players did not have the skillset to shoot past 16 feet (im leaving out the fact that they moved the 3pt line closer, in the 90s).
Great vid. A lot of people forget, bron played Rose in the playoffs the year before this as well, and did a decent job guarding him whenever he switched on. I’m not sure about the entire series, but I remember him holding d rose to 1/4 or 1/5 in the 4th qtr of game 3 in 2010. Bron’s lateral speed was never the best but his ability to recover and contest/block was impressive, he was better at guarding quicker guys who you could go underneath screens on, as opposed to a Kyrie or a dame who you would have to chase over instead of dropping under
This is what many derrick rose fans try to forget. They try to ignore how bron clamped up rose. I've had to tell them about the 1-15 shooting bron held rose to over the course of games 4 and 5
Im sorry bro, but teams always help when primary defenders get blown by. There were a of number of possessions there where he tried to score on lebron 1 on 1 and could not drive pass him or could not hit the middie he loves.
This also proves that without Rose the bulls wouldn’t of achieved anything close to relevance in the early 2010’s this is actually ridiculous that none else could score in that team other than rose lmao now looking back at it Rose deserves a lot more carrying that team
Lebron got the weirdest fanbase, everyone knows LeBron is capable of playing defense, but over the past several seasons fans have noticed his lack of effort on that side of the ball. I promise you can find more vids/clips of lebron being lazy on defense than you can of him clamping someone up.
Well LeBron had so much responsibilities on offense for most of his career, so he did slow down defensively but in the playoffs he always turned it up. The same thing can be said for most of the greats like MJ, Kobe, Kareem etc but for some reason people only bring light to this only for LeBron. Also I would argue MJ fans has the weirdest fan base in all of sports.
@@hymnchau6949 He turned 40 about a week ago, he started lacking on defense long before then. I started noticing his decline on defense during his second stint with the cavs. Again, its not that he can't play high-quality defense, but that he seems like he no longer cares about that side of the ball. Its an effort issue.
@@Zero-wy2gx Both fanbases are full of insufferable weirdos tbh. You can't criticize either without it being seen as hate and it's always someone arguing facts vs opinions. I personally don't mind a good debate but most ppl nowadays can only resort to insults when they can't argue their point.
@@donsims6479 I can actually agree with that, as a fan of LeBron myself he has a bunch of weirdos as fans and I keep my distance with them I actually don’t have him as the goat either.
D rose is the most protected nba player ever, this man had the chance to win these games and don't say that he didn't had help because he did but when he lose in 5 people don't give him shit.
Bron fans love bringing up Bron "locking up Rose" as if we all didnt watch that series as well. Rose could get by Bron anytime he wanted, the issue is he'd run into a miami wall once he did. And since they didnt have to worry about the bulls' outside shooting, they could stay near that paint era to form that wall. Bron played solid defense on Rose, but he never locked him up. The heat locked Rose up
But Bron haters say Jason Terry locked up lebron, but act like Dallas was filled with Joel Anthony. Dallas had 3 DPOY candidates waiting in the hole. Keep the same energy
I won’t deny the Heat played great defense collectively but, there was multiple possessions where Rose had Bron on him and he just couldn’t get by him. When he started going for the pick n roll he much more success because Bron struggles getting through screens quick enough because of his size.
I love D rose but i will never forget that Lebron pretty much was able to lock him down on a lot of possessions. Just shows how great lebron was defensively in his prime
Did not lock him down. He had bosh and wade and literally the entire team collapse on him after he blew by lebron. Wade defended him almost the entire time not Lebron.
@brendanbloom3366 when lebron defended him he literally wasnt scoring. The only times he was getting around lebron was via pick and roll. Thats the definition of getting locked down. Cause if you watch the series back rose was doing well with anyone else defending him. Especially in game 1 of the series. Lebron decided to take him for stretches of games and rose was struggling.
@@Mike-hy8cs when he defended him? He defended him 2 minutes after wade did all the work. Rose wasn’t scoring halfcourt even before Lebron went on him. He could blow by Lebron anytime he wanted. He had to worry about help as the paint was packed and they were zoning up on him.
@brendanbloom3366 Ofc its a team effort. Wade was just the help defender he wasnt primarily defending him at all. Rose multiple times tries to go 1on1 with James and tries to shoot over him and he had a hard time creating space to get a good shot off.
@@Mike-hy8cs no, wade was the primary defender the majority of the game and rose was held to 23 ppg on 35% shooting for the series. Rose already wasn’t scoring prior to lebron as the entire heat defense was collapsing on him. Rose could blow by lebron whenever he wanted but he had to worry about help behind. Rose was able to get a shot off. That wasn’t his game tho. Lebron had more length than Wade tho so with help behind him he could sag off more. Wade however along with the team defensive scheme were the main ones to make rose struggle.
It’s still haters in the comments still not giving Bron his respect lol. Haters can watch the games and see the stats and still find a way to discredit this man lmao. When they consistently move the goal post on Bron and make up fake narratives that’s when you know he’s the goat 🐐💯
@@daleleggettefacts bron was just as fast and had the size and legthn to deflect passing lanes and disrupt his shot not any wing could do it he cooked pg the round before
DPOY'S and all-defensive team selections are nice, but in close playoff games, the coach will show you who they know are their best defenders. Lebron being that size and able to clamp Rose like that is crazy
Boozer was an all-star at Utah, and played nearly as good without D-Will on the court. And Drew Gooden made also LeBron James play better. There's nobody here to make your trash comment look good.
IMO this is why he’s the GOAT. Go throw on the Spurs 2013 series and you’ll see him running the offense and then guarding TP, Manu, Kawhi, TD. He’s the only one in history who can do that and score 30/organize the O.
What's lost here is that D-Rose had PLAYED EVERY MINUTE OF THE GAME up to that point & was tired unlike LeBron who prolly rested the Vancouver game before that.
You sound crazy lol a real defender sometimes let u go by him when he’s beat to get the recover block or know he got good help defense and letting u fall into it why pick up a silly foul during crucial moments like this 😂use yo head especially when u got the height and athleticism to make up for it
Next video I wanna see is you uploading the game JJ Berea locks up LeBron, or the video where Curry locks up LeBron, let's keep it a buck and share it all around.
YOU keep it a buck. NEITHER ONE OF THEM "locked" up lebron. That ONE series with Dallas(Which was actual 3 games)is LITERALLY all you people talk about! Yall have based a 22 year career off that one series. There are 30 monetized RUclips channels that talk about it ALL THE TIME and act like this series never happened. And act like dang near every series before or after the dallas series never happened.
8pt game, LeBron had Barea on the post and did absolutely nothing! Had Curry multiple times in the post in multiple games and he did absolutely nothing! Pathetic
@@Zero-wy2gx they only talk about the negatives because they favorite player and Lord savior Michael Jordan didn't do enough in they're eyes so they got talk about lebron's negatives to take credit away even after all the great things he did as a individual player.
Bro lebron forced the ball outta his hands multiple times and broken up his pass forced him into bad shots letting him fall into the defense blocking your opponent or stealing the ball is not the only form of stopping him, not letting him score, make bad passes, taking shots that’s bad during certain moments and pressuring him into help defense is all apart of it u sayn help defense i mean isn’t it a team sport
Lebron didn't lock him up at all, he had one great play at the end of the 4th, yall are cappin in here, it's 5 bodies on him everytime he flew passed lebron, not to mention not having any offensive weapons to throw it too, while lebron had d wade and bosh!! stop it
good defense but are we forgetting this is a 6’8 250 Sf guarding a 6’3 190 pg … nd rose had no other shot creators other than himself I think bron gets alil too much credit for this imo
Because Jason Terry is a catch and shoot 3 point shooter that you have to chase around screens which tires you out. That's why. Two different kinds of players that requires two different kinds of defense
Good defense by bron but a few of those was clear cut fouls though especially when the time was going down and rose hit him that was all hand right there but good defense none the the less
Easy to guard when u can load up on his drives cause he got no shooter to space the floor they got Kurt Thomas and Ronnie brewer along with Noah this league with everybody shooting totally different

He would. This man was 22 and carried a TRASH bulls offense throughout the season and gave a superteam problems in the playoffs. Him gaining few pounds of muscles with better a better jumper, improved defense and better 3 point volume scoring was definitely believable. A 22 year old DRose was the best player Lebron has ever faced in the east during his 8 straight finals run. His injury helped Lebron to keep his dominance in the east.

Literally nobody said this ever. Fanboys just love making up stuff out of thin air.
Rose and DWill made boozer look so good like how lebron made drew Gooden look so good
Boozer was an all-star at Utah, and played nearly as good without D-Will on the court. And Drew Gooden made also LeBron James play better.
There's nobody here to make your trash comment look good.
If Rose Swapped With LBJ ??..
Y’all Would’ve Pushed LBJ Needs More Help Offensively On The Bulls Narrative. 😂
Just like Jordan needed help in the 80's when they were BBQ ying his ass, there's no different there lol. 🤣
Exactly now they talking about LeBron deserved MVP that year
Nigga bron n da bulls woulda beat tf out drose and Cleveland 😂
Cause we never saw LeBron from 2003-2010 lol
Lebron did say in his postgame interview “The MVP can’t do it alone” talking about Rose and also to justify his move to Miami
Imagine trying to play this style of defense in today’s game. Curry would’ve lit them up going underneath these screens
Giannis just clamped up Wemby yesterday we need to see the posessions of that💯
It makes me feel bad about that bulls seeing them having the lead when it’s 5 minutes away from ending the game but still lost it
Lebron took it personal when DRose stole his MVP award
IMO this is why he’s the GOAT. Go throw on the Spurs 2013 series and you’ll see him running the offense and then guarding TP, Manu, Kawhi, TD. He’s the only one in history who can do that and score 30/organize the O.
What the media hides from the public
What's lost here is that D-Rose had PLAYED EVERY MINUTE OF THE GAME up to that point & was tired unlike LeBron who prolly rested the Vancouver game before that.
And the haters said lebron no defense.😂
Bron and they double teamed every time he went right past bron . He didn’t stop him
You sound crazy lol a real defender sometimes let u go by him when he’s beat to get the recover block or know he got good help defense and letting u fall into it why pick up a silly foul during crucial moments like this 😂use yo head especially when u got the height and athleticism to make up for it
Rose had the worst spacing a PG could have 😂 all his teammates in the paint every time he drive
It's more than the size, it's what you do with it
This wasn't even about Lebron defense the bulls just had trash ass offensive sets. Tbh
Thibs 😂😂
lol it’s both
@@FireAngelChris Also, D-Rose couldn't shoot. Or, play as an off-ball scoring option.
Both for sure. In Chicago we wanted an offensive assistant coach so bad during this time
@@penkima4923 He could've just immediately attacked off the screens like Tony Parker use to
Now show him guarding J. Terry and J.J 😂
well, he has 4 rings and rose has a fat 0.
Bro got carried💀💀@@ohmydog9171
and delly clamping curry. gp clamping jordan. Tayshaun clamping kobe.
You dummies will say anything, he didn't even guard them.. but show Kobe getting swept by that same team
Jj did nothing to him lmao
Thats what happens when you dont have great shooting. You tend to take akward midrange shots when your driving lane gets cutoff.
Wade had better defensive plays then lebron in this video . Looks like wade was the better defender after all
so why no one talking about how miami how to gang up on 1 man but when its bron ppl is like omg the warriors are to much
Next video I wanna see is you uploading the game JJ Berea locks up LeBron, or the video where Curry locks up LeBron, let's keep it a buck and share it all around.
Nah those are far more known than this.
YOU keep it a buck. NEITHER ONE OF THEM "locked" up lebron. That ONE series with Dallas(Which was actual 3 games)is LITERALLY all you people talk about! Yall have based a 22 year career off that one series. There are 30 monetized RUclips channels that talk about it ALL THE TIME and act like this series never happened. And act like dang near every series before or after the dallas series never happened.
JJ Barea and Curry has never locked LeBron up, but if you can find the footage than I’ll admit I was wrong.
8pt game, LeBron had Barea on the post and did absolutely nothing! Had Curry multiple times in the post in multiple games and he did absolutely nothing! Pathetic
@@Zero-wy2gx they only talk about the negatives because they favorite player and Lord savior Michael Jordan didn't do enough in they're eyes so they got talk about lebron's negatives to take credit away even after all the great things he did as a individual player.
had lebron stumbling at 4:20
This is when i knew this guy was super special haters
He literally crossed LeBron but didn’t finish the shot
Great help defense by Miami ... D Rose needed more help against Lebron’s All Time Super Team
Jordan didn’t have great help defense also? That’s why Miami won back to back because of team defense, what’s wrong with that?
@jaydot4956 I wish I could cuss you out on this platform ... Wish this was real life
Majority of the plays were help defense
"This never happened"
-Jordan myth gatekeepers
"As seen on this clip, Lebron can't defend" - MJ Stan
Possibly the biggest of the countless false narratives about LeBron is that he supposedly wasn't an all-time great defender.
This was ugly offense. The gsw makes this era so ugly to watch the way they move the ball is poetry in motion.
I dont see lebron stopping him at all, its all team defense. Lmao
Bro lebron forced the ball outta his hands multiple times and broken up his pass forced him into bad shots letting him fall into the defense blocking your opponent or stealing the ball is not the only form of stopping him, not letting him score, make bad passes, taking shots that’s bad during certain moments and pressuring him into help defense is all apart of it u sayn help defense i mean isn’t it a team sport
As Bulls fan I'll say us not having a legit SG to take pressure off of Rose was exposed this series.... Keith Bogans was trash 🤦🏾♂️
MJ the goat but Heat LeBron is legit 99 overall greatest player I ever seen
Lebron didn't lock him up at all, he had one great play at the end of the 4th, yall are cappin in here, it's 5 bodies on him everytime he flew passed lebron, not to mention not having any offensive weapons to throw it too, while lebron had d wade and bosh!! stop it
They knew rose didn't have a good jumper
And that D-Rose couldn't play off ball at all.
jordan cant guard rose type of player
Who were some of these Rose type of players Jordan couldn't guard?
@@penkima4923 Allen Iverson lmao. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Ghost-rb6cw He wasn't a D-Rose type player. There are off-ball plays named after A.I., while D-Rose couldn't play off-ball at all.
@@penkima4923 bro I wasn't talk about off the ball. When Jordan guarded AI it straight up man to man one on one.
Rose 3. Years bron 7. Years. It is not true comparison
good defense but are we forgetting this is a 6’8 250 Sf guarding a 6’3 190 pg … nd rose had no other shot creators other than himself I think bron gets alil too much credit for this imo
Why didn't he guard Jason Terry like this ??? 🤔
Because Jason Terry is a catch and shoot 3 point shooter that you have to chase around screens which tires you out. That's why. Two different kinds of players that requires two different kinds of defense
Guys have bad games young blood.
Why couldn't Jordan stop rex Chapman?
Rose can fly wtf what’s his vertical again
Well he is 6’8 250 and Rose is 6’3 200 pounds 🤷🏾♂️ Show him guarding Kd, Kawhi, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony etc
Bron had no problem Stopping a 6’3 Slasher but looks the other way when its someone with real skill😂 bro is a fraud fr
What defence
So many people in the comment section salty for no reason. it's just bball y'all.
Damn ian know drose went to jail 🤣
that bulls team needed more offense. boozer and noah and a majoriity of that roster had none besides rose
Good defense by bron but a few of those was clear cut fouls though especially when the time was going down and rose hit him that was all hand right there but good defense none the the less
Bro the suffocating defense! Man no wonder i lost interest in todays NBA. Last game a really watched was maybe Lebrons record breaking game.
This is not enough 😂😂😂 yall crying
Easy to guard when u can load up on his drives cause he got no shooter to space the floor they got Kurt Thomas and Ronnie brewer along with Noah this league with everybody shooting totally different
Also, D-Rose had no clue how to capitalize on screens.
All I see is Bron shading him into help and double teams…
You didn't watched the video and it shows.. stop commenting after 30secs
Prime bron was different turned drose into a passivist 😢
Ah the Heat superteam. The last time we saw LeBron play defense, good times
He was playing Defense in Cleveland I Feel like it was when he got to LA outside of 2020
@kobe2curry4rose1 He literally had the second highest defensive rating in the league in 2020 lol… but go off, lying comes with being on a burner account I suppose lol.. 🤦🏾♂️
@@RahmodJohnsonlol he was even better in 2021 before he got hurt
@@RahmodJohnsonLying on LeBron is the ONLY thing they got! 😂😂When they have to start lying and can't just be honest, YOU KNOW he's WAAAAAAY GREATER than whomever they're trying to protect!
That's in life too. If someone has to lie on you to bring you down, that means they KNOW your faar greater than them! They literally have NOTHING over you! 💯💯💯
Prime Rose would have dominated the league they said 😂😂😂
lol he did. He had no help this series
He would. This man was 22 and carried a TRASH bulls offense throughout the season and gave a superteam problems in the playoffs. Him gaining few pounds of muscles with better a better jumper, improved defense and better 3 point volume scoring was definitely believable. A 22 year old DRose was the best player Lebron has ever faced in the east during his 8 straight finals run. His injury helped Lebron to keep his dominance in the east.
I dont care what people say drose stole that mvp from bron
