Visit www.nba.com/video for more highlights. Most players don't get their own Top 10 in a year, but in 2007, LeBron James made enough spectacular plays to have a Top 25.
Unbelievable how much athleticism he had. Still at 33, he's one of the best athletic players in NBA. But how majestic did he look back then in full flow
What he did to the 07 Pistons and the 16 Warriors in the playoffs earns him GOAT discussion. And he's still freakishly durable, skilled and consistently high level.
@@daytes4528 the 07 ecf finals and 16 finals are proof enough that he's GOAT. But he also dominated a 3 future MVP OKC team, is the only reason Pop/Duncan ever lost in the finals, was a two time DPOY runner up and went 44-5 in the first round between 07-17. Oh and his first playoff game was a 30 point triple double. How is all that not as impressive as Jordan, Kareem, Kobe, Bird or Magic or whoever you think is better?
Shame on the Cavs for giving the greatest player of the 21st century some of the worst rosters of all time. Look we all know Cleveland isn't an amazing place to live, but its like they didn't even try. They somehow managed to not fuck up drafting Kyrie (who's become quite the polarizing figure) and they only got Love because Lebron insisted. Among the worst run franchise of all time up there with Dolan's Knicks, Hornets/Bobcats/Pelicans and Sterling's Clippers.
man, its crazy how much strength and athletisim he has compared to many other nba players. im not talking abt skill. im talking his physical abilities, its just crazy. truly gifted
2. Eh...it was difficult but bball players are trained to throw up whatever possible when they hear whistles. 1. Simply amazing, one of the best plays in the NBA for '07.
I'd say that Carmelo Anthony is actually a mixture of both Kobe and Lebron since, hes got the size and the great fould attracting ability that Lebron has, as well as a magnificent soft shooting touch that Kobe's got XD sooo that makes Anthony a very good player!
Maybe Rodman wasn't exactly the key to the Bulls success but Jordan didn't start winning championships until Pippen and Phil Jackson came along. That's a Hall of Fame player and THE best coach ever, helping the best player ever to win a championship. Jordan needed help, and so does Lebron (though he's getting it now). And Jordan is still the best, Lebron has a long way to go.
hope u´re right, he sure deserves those titles. this "unwritten rule" that "only winners become mvps" sucks. it should be about the best and most complete player instead of the guy with the best team. its so great though to watch nba right now, because there are quite a few future legends on the courts: howard, kobe, lj, josh smith...we´ll remember them for long long times!
I thought that LeBron was slightly overrated a couple of years back, but after watching him more this season he has really proved he may be the best in the league. Don't get me wrong I've always been a big fan of his but i thought that there was too much hype around him.
LeBron's athleticism (explosion, quickness, agility) was so much better in Cleveland. He looks like he's moving in slow motion in the half-court now a days compared to this.
I'm a personal Bryant fan but, man, you gotta respect that dunkng technique. I'll be honest in saying that, in my opinion, his jams have been the best scince Michael Jordan's. Sure, Kobe's are pretty impressive, but the way Lebron does it just looks so much more satisfying. That power he gets when bring the ball down on the hoop is unmatched
i think he is just preserving he's energy and reducing any injury chances, if you he jumps the same, but he is playing the game smartly these days he dont need to dunk it with power any more he jumps high and chose to lay it in most of the time and i admire him for thar
nah im sayin more from his rythym wise back in the old days. When he was younger he seemed less hesitant from his shooting and just his release looked better too... like you aint seeing him pulling up 5 feet behind the 3 point line anymore is what im saying... but ur definitely right about the efficiency... hes way more consistent now
I still don't understand why people haven't learned that Lebron is the master of pinning the ball on the backboard. I swear they just never learn.... They can just hope that Lebron would give them mercy once and a while.
Whenever someone says Kobe sucks, or LeBron sucks, disregard their opinion. I don't care who you think is better (I'd take LeBron), but both are AMAZING. Just respect the talent
Yes, i know all about Kobe being picked in the 13th slot in the 96 draft and the trade stuff. Lebron may just overshadow Kobe in the next 5 years or so. Kobe reached 10,000 points when he was 24 years and 193 days old in 3/03. Lebron reached 10,000 points last year at 23 years and 2 months old. Lebron is not even close to his prime yet so it will be scary to see what he does by then.
jdogg, althoguh YES, you are right that kobe did have shaq which is by all means a HUGE help, you can easily tell that kobe quickly readpted and is playing GREAT right now as the team is
You just proved my point. Horry played his role and needed good players to help him win. Same as kobe. He needed Shaq to win, and now he needed Gasol, Odom, Ariza and Fisher. And in case you didn't know, Z, Ben, and Sczerbiak are no longer all-stars. Mo was a fill-in. P.S. Do you have Facebook? If you do, hit me up on the NBa page discussion board. It's easier to talk there than on RUclips.
I am Both Lebron and Kobe fan. Lebron james young and full of potential,still building his career. Kobe 5 rings,A legend and one of the best player. Why compare them?
Dude they might as well call the Cavs the "Lebrons" he is the only player who can do anything, he scored 50 points one game and they only BARELY won... Kobe is an amazing player and his skill along with Shaq's post play were unstoppable. If Lebron had Shaq im sure they would win all those rings too
I'm the biggest lebron fan there is, but Raford is kind of right. I still see the same end to end pure speed, but not the quickness or agility. I don't know if that is by choice and he turns it on when it needs to be in an effort to preserve his career/energy/reduce injury chances, or whether he's lost that due to bulking up more. But that double clutch two handed jam is something you rarely see from lebron these days - now, he'll double clutch and lay it in.

38 and still super athletic. He ain’t human.
Lebron in his physical Prime was a beast.
G 2 16
Crazy to think that he was only 22 at that time
What he did to the 07 Pistons and the 16 Warriors in the playoffs earns him GOAT discussion. And he's still freakishly durable, skilled and consistently high level.
This is when LeBron had a very quick first step...
iam officially in love with him from now on
Ye
0:33 look familiar Iggy?
"He turned Leandro barbosa into a screensaver!" LMAO XD
I'm not a big fan of LeBron but #1 is just absolutely amazing. It looks so smooth. That is absolutely as good as it gets, right there

Always my fav LBJ year this nigga proved why he was a GOAT this year

Dwade has done number 2 a bunch of times..
ok. is this video about d wade?
When LeBron drives, you get out of his way.
(Kobe fan)
That was the most boring bench ever
His jump shot has improved a lot, is developing a post game. Is a lock down defender, he has improved as his career has gone by.
Number 7 is seriously awesome... the announcer makes it even better.
LeBron explodes to the basket and finishes better than anyone, period. This is the one aspect of his game that is perfect.
Number3 was a monster jam just as much as #1.Lebron sure knows how to hammer it home.
wow i forgot about how awesome number one was. i love lebron james.
#1 should be nothing else but #1. As a Clevelander, dunking on Rasheed that hard is E-P-I-C.
He's in another level.
i was at that celtics game where lebron hit that long shot from his own 3-point line. It was right before the halftime buzzer and the crowd went nuts!
2. Eh...it was difficult but bball players are trained to throw up whatever possible when they hear whistles.
1. Simply amazing, one of the best plays in the NBA for '07.
whether people love him or hate him. he's becoming a legend. someomne who attracts that amount of attention/scrutiny/love/hate is obviously a legend.
how could that first dunk be considered #10 the move and the dunk was as sick as it gets!!!
his awesomeness is beyond comprehension
Best basketball player of all time.
lebron is so freakin talented theres no one to compare him to. he doesnt have the "greatness" of a jordan or magic yet, but he's as dominant a player.
Definitely agree. 3 at 1, 1 at 2, 2 at 3.
#3 is a dunk contest calibur throw down on two athletic defenders, one of them being a seven footer.
I'd say that Carmelo Anthony is actually a mixture of both Kobe and Lebron since, hes got the size and the great fould attracting ability that Lebron has, as well as a magnificent soft shooting touch that Kobe's got XD sooo that makes Anthony a very good player!

its so great though to watch nba right now, because there are quite a few future legends on the courts: howard, kobe, lj, josh smith...we´ll remember them for long long times!
Dunking over Sheed is always impressive
as much as i dont like lebron james.
it is pretty amazing that he can do it all.
He matured & improved his game. I still miss his quickness/agility though.
guy's a monster. there's good, great, legendary, then there's lebron james
wow! i can't imagine that! omg! the LEBRON JAMES! aww!
-- Maria, from the Philippines*
i like kobe's dunks and jumpshots
and lebron james' dunks and blocks
they both great
number 3 was sick. i wish he entered the freakin dunk contest
I thought that LeBron was slightly overrated a couple of years back, but after watching him more this season he has really proved he may be the best in the league.

His explosiveness is crazy, most exciting player to watch in the league.
love the first play #10.

AMAZING
Those guys LeBron dunks on in traffic look like they're yielding to his greatness!!
i think he is just preserving he's energy and reducing any injury chances, if you he jumps the same, but he is playing the game smartly these days he dont need to dunk it with power any more he jumps high and chose to lay it in most of the time and i admire him for thar
Gracias por todo LeBron!
AMAZING!
The commentators are hilarious."OH LEBRON JUST CRUSHED HIM" or "That's man's jam". simply hilarious.
the best clip i have ever seen was definitely number one
delonte west and gloria james are so proud of him
Haha on #6 you could see him looking back at Barbosa like "Why the hell did you even jump?"
he will get better in time...to achieve those goals
3 was absolutely insane.
nah im sayin more from his rythym wise back in the old days. When he was younger he seemed less hesitant from his shooting and just his release looked better too... like you aint seeing him pulling up 5 feet behind the 3 point line anymore is what im saying... but ur definitely right about the efficiency... hes way more consistent now

back when the NBA still had class
im so gonna steal this video, just in case it some how happens to disappear...
number 1 the dunk with the fowl....EPIC!
@TexasSportsTroll I agree with everything you just said except for saying that Luol Deng isn't consitant.
#1 is like: WTF?? That is one of the best dunks I've seen
his elevation is just crazy! good player

@pigged Exactly you can't, both of those players are beyond his level!
Amazing.
you are absolutely right
one word: amazing
Back when nba had an where amazing happens
damn he's the best !!!
wow 4 was amazing
If Lebron could go back to playing the SG position instead of playing the SF position he could be even more of a beast...
We(Fans)would like to watch sick plays like those on the video by Lebron.
You just proved my point. Horry played his role and needed good players to help him win. Same as kobe. He needed Shaq to win, and now he needed Gasol, Odom, Ariza and Fisher. And in case you didn't know, Z, Ben, and Sczerbiak are no longer all-stars. Mo was a fill-in.

amazing.
There is no Hype....he is the next Jordan. Talent.
its acutally a good arguement cuz kobe n lebron r the 2 best players of this generation, but sometimes people cross the line when argueing
lebron is the total player
1. dunks well wide open..
2. misses shots to himself well..
3. dunks on point guards..
4. wishes he was kobe really well
#1 was sick. rasheed wallace got absolutely pulverized.
@777zippy777 a triple double is a sign of dominance dude
mind blowing
I am Both Lebron and Kobe fan.
Lebron james young and full of potential,still building his career.
Kobe 5 rings,A legend and one of the best player.
Why compare them?
he doesnt think he is better than jordan. he is one of the most humble guys in the league.
Dude they might as well call the Cavs the "Lebrons" he is the only player who can do anything, he scored 50 points one game and they only BARELY won... Kobe is an amazing player and his skill along with Shaq's post play were unstoppable. If Lebron had Shaq im sure they would win all those rings too
Joga muito!
What is this beat they play in the background? It's so cool.
At #9, who knew LeBron could do point guard moves!!
Here in 2024, I miss this Lebron he just played basketball and ignored the media
This is the time when Kobe fans knew they have a young blood to roast to.
10 now THAT'S a crossover!!!!!
No 6: Barbosa Is seriously CRAZY !!!!!!
No 3: Over fuckin' senegalese Diop
No 2: Over Wallace Rashed
Finally LeBron Is the BEST
ye its my favorite as well
I'm the biggest lebron fan there is, but Raford is kind of right. I still see the same end to end pure speed, but not the quickness or agility. I don't know if that is by choice and he turns it on when it needs to be in an effort to preserve his career/energy/reduce injury chances, or whether he's lost that due to bulking up more. But that double clutch two handed jam is something you rarely see from lebron these days - now, he'll double clutch and lay it in.
lebron james!! wow!!
Kobe: Shaq at age 21
Lebron: Carried team to Finals at age 22.
now we see why lebron was holding the ball in his hands the coach and the team made him the whole offense averaging almost 40 points a game
