This was LeBron at his physical peak but paired with a mean shooting stroke and incredible defense. 27/8/7, 57 FG%, 41 3P%, 75 FT% 2nd in DPOY Voting 1st in MVP Voting (almost the 1st unanimous MVP in NBA history, but one voter gave it to Melo) Finals MVP One of the greatest seasons ever.
@@tamastoth7068 Aye u cant lie though, Melo was balling that year. Took the Knicks to the playoffs. Think about it . The fucking Knicks lol. I agree with u though, Lebron unquestionably deserved Unanimous Mvp this season for sure.
Tamás Tóth melo had a way worse squad sir and the knicks were incredible that year. Melo was torching teams all year Miami including, take melo off those knicks there a senior citizen team. Miami was loaded with versatile wing shooters and defenders along with d wade n Bosh.
Ok guys, I'm not spitting on Melo, I know he was incredible that season but still...it is just annoying to me that he could have been the first unanimous MVP and he didn't get it. Biased Lebron fan here so my opinion isn't really valid I know.
2012-13 was the best version of Lebron we ever seen. Physically he was unstoppable. His shooting stroke was super efficient and defensively he was locking down everyone he guarded. After he won the first championship he went to another level. He was head and shoulders above anyone in the league. 💯
2009 2018 playoff lebron was crazy but 2013 regular season lebron was a scary force of nature that had the confidence after a title to basically do what he wanted ..he legit seemed like he toyed with foes from feb. through mid may.....it was very jordan like how the heat went 46-2 when lebron played in that span going into game 4 of the east finals basically and lost both games to the bulls by 4 points and only once on the road until 3 weeks into may in the east finals and had mike miller played in the regular season bulls game they would of gone 47-1 with lebron in that span...goat things....anyone who watched lebron in that span realized how great he was....he played ok in 1 of those losses..he legit had 1 bad game for his elite standards over that span...1...
“Rod Morgan” He wasn’t head and shoulders above KD during this time stop exaggerating KD was close to his level during this time he lead the Thunder to 60 wins in a tougher conference and he also had a 50, 40, 90 season that year as well you LeBron fans always disrespecting other great players to hype up LeBron it’s ridiculous
Proficient Perspective it also took kawhi and manu to gag a free throw if they simply hit their damn free throws they’re up 5 or 6 points and a 3 pointer doesn’t tie the game🤷🏽♂️ but you won’t mention that though. you also won’t mention lebron dropping 16 in the 4th quarter to lead the comeback and hitting a 3 right before ray allens 3 to bring them within 2 points! you ALSO won’t mention lebrons game 7 performance and the dagger shot in kawhis eye. without ALL THAT he loses lol btw steve kerr and john paxson saved jordan from losing in the finals.
Lebron’s confidence this season was at an all time high. It’s amazing. No hesitation. So quick, so fast and so powerful. He’s been amazing every year he’s played in the league but this was definitely his best season. When you consider his efficiency and winning mentality, definitely one of the greatest seasons in NBA history.
Every game in 2013, no matter how far the Heat were down, it felt like LeBron could just flip a switch and will his team to victoires sometimes. That Ray Allen's tying shot may be the most memorable moment of that series, but those watching LeBron's 4th quarter on both ends know that was what even gave them at getting that shot.
LeBron has so many amazing seasons in his career but this one is really special, especially with the 27-game winning streak & 66 wins & the back-to-back. Monster year for him.
after the olympics which people forget...a team he carried as some guys like wade bosh and howard took off to rest...had lebron not gone to the olympics miami probably wins like 73 games that year..he clearly was a little tired with no real offseason so the heat were not as scary as they could of been to start since he was a little gassed...
He got 4 now he's the goat if he win at the age of 39 plus atleast a finals or second round he's better than mj cuz mj can't reach playoffs at that stage
well, the spurs played terrible defense on lebron in game 7, if they allowd kawhi to press him up like they did in the 2014 final, the spurs would have won in 2013. but instead they just leted him shoot and he punished them
@@LOL-ro9ef that’s not terrible defense that’s smart, make the worst part of his game beat you and if he happens to be hot then you’re literally fucked
@@sportslangtv2181 Lol man chill. MJ took 3 years off before joining the Wizards. MJ also never played with an Anthony Davis caliber player at 39. Chill out bro.

@@yungjeezy6049 he was and he led the league in scoring but still. The heat won 66 games with the second longest winning streak in NBA history, Bron had a stretch were he averaged 30 on 60% shooting, led the league in FGM, WS, BPM, VORP, PER, and I could go on. You just don't overlook shit like that and give it to Melo
@@morgantaanji4298 They've been hating on Bron for the longest. Truth be told, he should have more MVP awards and more rings. Especially his last year in Cleveland before he went to the Lakers.
@@morgantaanji4298 I don't think LeBron should have won MVP in 2011-12 or 2012-13. He had the 2nd best player in the league on his team and another top 15-20 player. He was definitely the best player in the league though.
Where does the time go. I was 9 years old when this was happening now I’m going into my senior year of high school. Lebron is my favorite player ever and this was unquestionably his best year.
This might be his best. But my favorite Lebron is 2008-2009. He played like an absolute animal night in and night out. And basically single handedly led his team to a 66-16 record.
09 Bron was like 89 Jordan. They both had nothing to work with and still got their teams to ECF but Lebron also got the #1 overall seed thst year by himself. Him and Jordan probably have 8 of the top 10 all time best seasons by any player. Still the only two players to win back to back MVP, FMVP, 1st All NBA and 1st All Defense (91/92, 12/13)
@@cursin Jordan's 1987-88 season is one of the best statistical seasons of all-time. He won league MVP, scoring title, Defensive Player of the Year, and led the league in nearly every advanced stat by a significant margin.
This was without a doubt his best year. I know people make arguments for 2016 and 2018 LeBron, but this was his most efficient year from the 3 and from the field, his best year defensively (as we know he was robbed from the DPOY and a unanimous MVP), and had career lows in TOV and PF.
@@nonyobussiness3440 i know but him winning THAT championship specifically makes people think that was his best version, even tho imo its easily 2012-2013 LeBron
This was his best year because of how he played on both ends of the court...2018 was his best offensive season in my opinion lol he absolutely was insane in the playoffs
@@TheFrostbite324 it seems in 2013, in the regular season, people just moved out the way , in 2018, they don’t move out the way, so in 2013, he was more dominant like a created player in a video game 🎮, in 2018, yea he look likeTHANOS at times because of the better skills but people stay in the paint, in 2013 they got out the way because he was way more explosive to the rim which means more dominant. You right in 2018 he had better skills but he wasn’t as physically dominant as 2013 Lebron.
You had to have had watched this season fuck the numbers and highlights lol. He dominated this season. Almost won Unanimous Mvp, but Melo was balling hard this season also so he got a vote for Mvp. This version of Lebron was Godly!!! 270+ but still somehow lean and ripped. Any version of Heat Bron was nasty but this one in particular was just something else. Should've won defensive player of the year also. I honestly think few players in the history of the game wanted to go up against Heat Lebron. Monster athletically but with shooting skills, ball handling skills, and most importantly a high ass IQ and feel for the game. Bron, Late 80s MJ, Mid to late 2000s Kobe, and Steph Curry for a while reached peaks that only basketball gods can get to lol.
Completely unstoppable!! You’re laughing but you just made one of the most apt descriptions I’ve seen on here regarding those guys. They seemed to be demi-gods at their peak.

@@rambobrazy8411😭 BROKE HIS CONTROLLER💀. I get curious as to how dangerous players will be if you combine their skills and their physicals from their top seasons. LeBron’s 2017-2018 level of active offensive IQ combined with his 2012-2013 athleticism and defense + 2023 LeBron’s total experience? BRUH How about 2013-2014 athleticism of KD + his GS defense and Brooklyn Nets efficiency? Current Harden’s Playmaking + His Prime Houston Scoring and Athleticism? Frobe’s Athleticism + His Scoring Mastery in 2005-2006?! Dangerous, bruh. And one more-How about Houston Westbrook’s FG% + Prime Westbrook’s Athleticism and MVP Russ’s 3P% and Scoring? Then combine it with Washington Russ’s Playmaking and Current Russ’s Overall EXP.
He was basically Giannis in terms of efficiency while shooting threes like a marksman and carrying the ball up w/ Magic Johnson point guard skills. Speaking of Magic, there's a reason he said though LeBron needs a title to pass MJ for greatest, but that "LeBron James to me, when you think about all-around basketball players, he's probably the best of all time."
@Federick Davidson Lebron has what every scout, coach, team and players DREAM of POWER n SPEED. He can drive n finish like NO ONE has ever seen in the NBA. It takes a whole TEAM to stop him n they cant most of the time. Add the court vision, athleticism, scoring, outside shooting etc etc n you got a player in the running for GOAT.
TOMSoCaLA except, he’s not in the running. He’s for sure arguable for best talent all time. But goat status is reserved for the guys who do all of that and win exceedingly. Too much losing too really have a convo over someone like Kareem or magic who were just as dominant and won more often than not. James is the new age wilt. Goat level talent with a disappointing end result when it matters most. At most he’ll retire 3rd.
CPGoat #3 you gotta put the championship he lost into context, championship are not everything to a player legacy. Lebron may not have the best Legacy’s but he definitely has one of the best legacy. The numbers, the accolades, the dominance over a 17 year career...and he’s only adding to his legacy. Personally I got him number 1 already because we already know what his legacy is. He can Score like Michael and pass like magic tho that’s different
jima dak this is why he’s not number 1. Not even 2 ruclips.net/video/tl3mR6eoEa8/видео.html And yes at this level it is. Titles are what determine who u are defined as within the top 10. All of these guys in the goat convo have very close accolades. So determining who’s at the top comes down to who won more, as well as who accomplished more. He accomplished a lot and lost a lot. His stats are great but there is greater. His legacy is great but there is greater. How can u be the goat with so many fundamental flaws to your game, and your ability to lead teams to the win consistently is in question? There’s guys who NEVER were questioned with resumes that are better. If there’s guys who have just as much and won more how is bron over them? That’s just simple math that doesn’t add up. Just watch the video.
Yeah that's why I say really Lebron's whole tenture with Heat was something else. Those 4 years he was at the top by his self. Now these youngs guys are coming for him but he's not giving it away anytime soon.
Agreed. He was so consistent every night, his team was blowing out almost everyone . His defense peaked here guarding 1 to 5. Post up game was elite also
LeBron statistically did everything better in 2018 expect percentage wise and even then it was still good. 2012-2013 is his best season because he won a MVP and a championship.
@@allanhouston6759 now he win a chip to the west now is the west is weak now? Because LeBron is there you weak ass hater you're nothing compared to him you and you're idol gay curry combine is nothing compared to the king
LeBron mid range game seem like it was way better back then than it is now even though now it’s all about the 3 still gotta have that middy on stand-by
If they didn't rob him he would've had the best single season in NBA history. They robbed him of unanimous MVP by 1 vote and DPOY went to Gasol who didn't even make 1st team all defensive. HOW CAN YOU WIN DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AND NOT BE 1ST TEAM ALL DEFENSE
@@semionjohnson1351 if lebron won unanimous mvp and dpoy that year no season of mj would've came close. Add in the fact he was finals mvp and he was shooting 40 percent from 3 and over 50 percent from the field.
the 2013 heat team was so perfect...won the 2012 title added ray allen chris andersen and rashard lewis stopped playing juwan howard finally and less james jones and joel anthony too helped aka more shooting efficiency around lebron and norris cole got better mario chalmers got more efficient mike miller got healthy finally....once they got andersen they became a juggernaut cause they had a real bench finally of battier halsem cole miller andersen jones joel lewis now that ray allen could play starters like minutes for them and they were comfortable int he regular season starting mario chalmers consistently and giving him over 32 minutes which for 2 year they were not
Y’all gotta watch the ‘07, ‘13, ‘18, & ‘22 seasons in order and you’ll completely see how he adapted with the game! It’s ridiculous, the game got faster n more efficient and so did he; the longevity is unmatched
statistically, 2009-2010 was his best season. can you make a vid for that season, was just searching for it and was surprised you didn't make it yet =) great stuff tho
That season stays underrated, even though, statistically, he improved nearly every stat from his 2008-2009 season which always gets mentioned over 2009-2010
I am a spurs fan and after Allen saved them with that 3, I knew Lebron would do every in his power to with that game 7. He played 45 minutes with 37 and 12 boards. I will definitely miss watching him once he retires.
@Michael T Winning championships is also based on organization, team, and coaching as well. If you could not win with Lebron on your team then that organization as a whole is in major question as well because you can't convince me Lebron didn't come into every season prepared to win a chip. With that aside individually Lebron have the best argument for best player of all time when he retires for what he's done as a player in the NBA. MJ is still goat though because of individual accolades and championships
They robbed this man of the DPOY and unanimous MVP Melo didn't deserve that vote lmao. Just didn't want him to have the best individual season of all time
I think he would dominate any era. He came into the NBA at 6'8 240. He was already a grown-ass man. When you add his supreme IQ, passing ability, scoring prowess, ball-handling, and finishing ability, he'd have his struggle like any player but nobody can stop him. All great players would find ways to be great in any era.
In my mind this is a showcase in why statistical prowess is not necesarily an indication of value or quality of player. This is clearly James' best season, but from the statistics you couldn't really tell as it doesn't jump out like some other seasons.
What's sad about Brons 4 years in Miami Dwade wasn't the Dwade we thought he was gonna be other than year 1. Year 2 he was pretty close to prime Wade skill wise but health wise he wasn't. Then by year 3 and 4 he was still good but nowhere near the Wade we saw in 05 to 09. They win in 2014 most likely if that was the case
@@rambobrazy8411 Bron sold Wade in 2011 so they’re even , if Bron hooped in 2011 and Wade was healthy and hooped in 2014 maybe they have 4 rings at the worst 3
Yeah Wade was up and down plus he had to adjust to playing next to Bron. Plus his body was giving on him that 2014 run and it showed when they played the spurs.
Wade got fat and his dumb ass did lebron’s workouts all off-season and during the regular seaso. The first year…Wade had career long knee issues and his body could not handle the volume and intensity of training with lebron which basically caused him to get hurt. He fired mj’s coach, got hurt, then got fat and never got back in shape. Spo even bitched him out and yelled him out for being out of shape and playing like ass against the pacers.
Awesome video, love the series. I would recommend doing Lebron’s 08-09 campaign. Led a mediocre supporting cast to 66 wins despite not having a reliable jump-shot/post-game.
He was a better defender than LeBron and had the best defensive team. LeBron while good was never a DPOY worthy defender. He rarely ever defended the teams best player. LeBron was far from robbed
@@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t u sound dumb. 2009 and 2013 he was 2nd in dpoy. So clearly he has been in contention. Lebron has defended the best team player. Who else was guarding KD? Lebron slowed him down.
The scariest he’s ever been. Offensively his efficiency was off the charts, he was a defensive monster at this point in his career and physically, he was unstoppable. Bigger, stronger, faster than everyone else. I believe he was like 265 or something like that, freaking ridiculous.
LeBron has definitely dominated J in this important category. Played a 82 game schedule once in 20 plus years and counting. The KING of playing when he feelsl like it.
It felt like he truly cracked the code of basketball. Coming off of winning his first championship the year before and then following that up by winning gold that summer, it felt like he was a different species altogether than everyone else in the league
2018 most complete?? Lebron hasn’t made a all defensive team sense 2014. 2013 Lebron made all defensive 1st team and was robbed for DPOY and he shot over 40% from 3 that season what are you talking about man.
2011 mvp 2013 dpoy 2015 finals mvp possible chance at the 2020 mvp if the season did not get cancelled and now probably will go to giannis due tot he layoff and lack of 10 games they will play to get to the playoff sooner..lebron is getting robbed of these awards man ....history needs to remember this stuff like I do...instead they blame him for the 2004 bronze medal as if he was a top 8 rotation player which he was not
@@razkable Tell me what Lebron does this year that Giannis isn't. Lebron has a team-mate that leads the lakers in every statistical category except assists and has proven he can lead a team into the playoffs (not that far but still). Now look at Giannis' teammates, see the difference? Do you honestly think Eric Bledsoe or Khris Middleton could lead a team by themselves. Ever-time a team has two mvp caliber players its an unspoken rule that they both don't win MVP because they benefit from each other, but I guess that rule is thrown out for Lebron just so he can get a sympathy mvp from the butthurt fans.
ugod234 because lebron is still clearly better than AD. The gulf between them is larger than the one between KD and steph so the situations aren’t quite the same. Giannis should obviously win MVP but that’s because he’s been amazing. So has bron though and I think he’s clearly deserving of the 2nd place spot
Imo this was Lebron's best overall season. Winning MVP and Finals MVP was huge. This was his best long distance shooting season as well combined with his athleticism.

I like 2020's "bubble playoff" Lebron the most. He dominated every series, despite many believing they would lose to the Blazers, Rockets, or Nuggets. AD also did his part, but Bron was so good that he completely shifted the narrative. The story went from the Lakers looking very vulnerable to them getting "lucky" and having an easy route to the chip. Bron shot really well, his passing game was his best ever, and he was incredibly aggressive. Of course, he was much older and lost step in his athleticism and defense, but the strengths more than compensated. Also, his last year in Cleveland (i.e. no Kyrie) and his 2016 defeat of the Warriors were spectacular. In the 2012 and 2013 seasons, Bron was certainly at his statistical peak, but he still had more to learn.
9:36 people don’t realize how hard it is to do what he did there. i literally dropped my phone and went to the other room dude. how tf. 9/10 players airballing or straight bricking that shot
I don't think we'll see the full package monster that was LeBron James in 2013, perhaps ever again...MVP, Finals MVP, 2nd in DPOY, 57% shooting. Watch the Dom2K video ranking MVPs of the 2010s for perspective
Yup 90-93 MJ and 11-14 Bron were in class by themselves. Pure domination on both ends. I’d like to also mention 02-03 Kobe who was at his peak defensively that year and was becoming unstoppable as a scorer that year.
Chris Kar 06 was lethal, definitely the best scoring version. I like 02-03 because he was in his athletic and defensive peak. 08-10 Kobe was the best version as a leader and playmaker
I just dont get how these years didnt break his body down. He was pushing 270 at times with all that speed, bounce, and change of direction. Not to mention how much he got hit. I seen guys like tmac, zion, and even wade here that just broke what the human body can handle. They never got back. Bron in year 21 as i write this, and looks fast as hell in the preseason games here. Fresher than he seemed even a year ago. He just from a different planet. If he keeps playing I'll keep watching. This season was the craziest one though.
You got the best NBA highlights so I had to tell you about a video idea I had. You should do a mix with ALL OF LEBRON'S CHASE DOWN BLOCKS. I know he has to have at least 30 lol. LMK. Thanks for the KOBE ones too.
This was LeBron at his physical peak but paired with a mean shooting stroke and incredible defense.

Ok guys, I'm not spitting on Melo, I know he was incredible that season but still...it is just annoying to me that he could have been the first unanimous MVP and he didn't get it. Biased Lebron fan here so my opinion isn't really valid I know.
2012-13 was the best version of Lebron we ever seen. Physically he was unstoppable. His shooting stroke was super efficient and defensively he was locking down everyone he guarded. After he won the first championship he went to another level. He was head and shoulders above anyone in the league. 💯
2009 2018 playoff lebron was crazy but 2013 regular season lebron was a scary force of nature that had the confidence after a title to basically do what he wanted ..he legit seemed like he toyed with foes from feb. through mid may.....it was very jordan like how the heat went 46-2 when lebron played in that span going into game 4 of the east finals basically and lost both games to the bulls by 4 points and only once on the road until 3 weeks into may in the east finals and had mike miller played in the regular season bulls game they would of gone 47-1 with lebron in that span...goat things....anyone who watched lebron in that span realized how great he was....he played ok in 1 of those losses..he legit had 1 bad game for his elite standards over that span...1...
“Rod Morgan” He wasn’t head and shoulders above KD during this time stop exaggerating KD was close to his level during this time he lead the Thunder to 60 wins in a tougher conference and he also had a 50, 40, 90 season that year as well you LeBron fans always disrespecting other great players to hype up LeBron it’s ridiculous
And even with everything you mentioned, it took the greatest clutch shot in playoff history for LeBron NOT to lose yet another Finals.
Semion Johnson he was way better than kd it wasn’t close lol
Proficient Perspective it also took kawhi and manu to gag a free throw if they simply hit their damn free throws they’re up 5 or 6 points and a 3 pointer doesn’t tie the game🤷🏽♂️ but you won’t mention that though. you also won’t mention lebron dropping 16 in the 4th quarter to lead the comeback and hitting a 3 right before ray allens 3 to bring them within 2 points! you ALSO won’t mention lebrons game 7 performance and the dagger shot in kawhis eye. without ALL THAT he loses lol btw steve kerr and john paxson saved jordan from losing in the finals.
Lebron’s confidence this season was at an all time high. It’s amazing. No hesitation. So quick, so fast and so powerful. He’s been amazing every year he’s played in the league but this was definitely his best season. When you consider his efficiency and winning mentality, definitely one of the greatest seasons in NBA history.

Every game in 2013, no matter how far the Heat were down, it felt like LeBron could just flip a switch and will his team to victoires sometimes. That Ray Allen's tying shot may be the most memorable moment of that series, but those watching LeBron's 4th quarter on both ends know that was what even gave them at getting that shot.
LeBron has so many amazing seasons in his career but this one is really special, especially with the 27-game winning streak & 66 wins & the back-to-back. Monster year for him.
after the olympics which people forget...a team he carried as some guys like wade bosh and howard took off to rest...had lebron not gone to the olympics miami probably wins like 73 games that year..he clearly was a little tired with no real offseason so the heat were not as scary as they could of been to start since he was a little gassed...

I don't think LeBron should have won MVP in 2011-12 or 2012-13. He had the 2nd best player in the league on his team and another top 15-20 player. He was definitely the best player in the league though.
Lebron in Miami was my favorite version of him. His battles vs the Celtics and pacers in the east were so fun to watch
James had a crazy body formation once he went to the Heat! His style of play and everything changed
Mainly because of the fitness standards that the players had to adhere to in Miami
Where does the time go. I was 9 years old when this was happening now I’m going into my senior year of high school. Lebron is my favorite player ever and this was unquestionably his best year.
Defense, shooting, passing, clutch, speed, dunks. One of the best if not the best all around season by a single player in history

This might be his best. But my favorite Lebron is 2008-2009. He played like an absolute animal night in and night out. And basically single handedly led his team to a 66-16 record.
09 Bron was like 89 Jordan. They both had nothing to work with and still got their teams to ECF but Lebron also got the #1 overall seed thst year by himself. Him and Jordan probably have 8 of the top 10 all time best seasons by any player. Still the only two players to win back to back MVP, FMVP, 1st All NBA and 1st All Defense (91/92, 12/13)

I know people make arguments for 2016 and 2018 LeBron, but this was his most efficient year from the 3 and from the field, his best year defensively (as we know he was robbed from the DPOY and a unanimous MVP), and had career lows in TOV and PF.

Physically he was more dominant but 2018 IMO is the best version when you combine skills, athleticism, IQ, clutch etc.
@@TheFrostbite324 it seems in 2013, in the regular season, people just moved out the way , in 2018, they don’t move out the way, so in 2013, he was more dominant like a created player in a video game 🎮, in 2018, yea he look likeTHANOS at times because of the better skills but people stay in the paint, in 2013 they got out the way because he was way more explosive to the rim which means more dominant. You right in 2018 he had better skills but he wasn’t as physically dominant as 2013 Lebron.
You had to have had watched this season fuck the numbers and highlights lol. He dominated this season. Almost won Unanimous Mvp, but Melo was balling hard this season also so he got a vote for Mvp. This version of Lebron was Godly!!! 270+ but still somehow lean and ripped. Any version of Heat Bron was nasty but this one in particular was just something else. Should've won defensive player of the year also. I honestly think few players in the history of the game wanted to go up against Heat Lebron. Monster athletically but with shooting skills, ball handling skills, and most importantly a high ass IQ and feel for the game. Bron, Late 80s MJ, Mid to late 2000s Kobe, and Steph Curry for a while reached peaks that only basketball gods can get to lol.

When he slammed on garnet.lol
He was basically Giannis in terms of efficiency while shooting threes like a marksman and carrying the ball up w/ Magic Johnson point guard skills. Speaking of Magic, there's a reason he said though LeBron needs a title to pass MJ for greatest, but that "LeBron James to me, when you think about all-around basketball players, he's probably the best of all time."
yes he's the best all around player of all time, not the best player of all time.
@Federick Davidson Lebron has what every scout, coach, team and players DREAM of POWER n SPEED. He can drive n finish like NO ONE has ever seen in the NBA. It takes a whole TEAM to stop him n they cant most of the time. Add the court vision, athleticism, scoring, outside shooting etc etc n you got a player in the running for GOAT.
TOMSoCaLA except, he’s not in the running. He’s for sure arguable for best talent all time. But goat status is reserved for the guys who do all of that and win exceedingly. Too much losing too really have a convo over someone like Kareem or magic who were just as dominant and won more often than not. James is the new age wilt. Goat level talent with a disappointing end result when it matters most. At most he’ll retire 3rd.
CPGoat #3 you gotta put the championship he lost into context, championship are not everything to a player legacy. Lebron may not have the best Legacy’s but he definitely has one of the best legacy. The numbers, the accolades, the dominance over a 17 year career...and he’s only adding to his legacy. Personally I got him number 1 already because we already know what his legacy is. He can Score like Michael and pass like magic tho that’s different
jima dak this is why he’s not number 1. Not even 2
ruclips.net/video/tl3mR6eoEa8/видео.html
And yes at this level it is. Titles are what determine who u are defined as within the top 10. All of these guys in the goat convo have very close accolades. So determining who’s at the top comes down to who won more, as well as who accomplished more. He accomplished a lot and lost a lot. His stats are great but there is greater. His legacy is great but there is greater. How can u be the goat with so many fundamental flaws to your game, and your ability to lead teams to the win consistently is in question? There’s guys who NEVER were questioned with resumes that are better. If there’s guys who have just as much and won more how is bron over them? That’s just simple math that doesn’t add up. Just watch the video.
Highlights of Lebron 2011-2012 season. Felt like Lebron's midrange & post game was on point that lockout season
Yeah that's why I say really Lebron's whole tenture with Heat was something else. Those 4 years he was at the top by his self. Now these youngs guys are coming for him but he's not giving it away anytime soon.
Agreed. He was so consistent every night, his team was blowing out almost everyone . His defense peaked here guarding 1 to 5. Post up game was elite also

They robbed this man of the DPOY and unanimous MVP Melo didn't deserve that vote lmao. Just didn't want him to have the best individual season of all time
Exactly they where still mad because of the decision and they don’t like Lebron like they do Jordan
Heat Lebron is one of the best Atlete ever to grace the earth. He was Scary!
2013 LeBron would dominate the 1990s NBA.
I think he would dominate any era. He came into the NBA at 6'8 240. He was already a grown-ass man. When you add his supreme IQ, passing ability, scoring prowess, ball-handling, and finishing ability, he'd have his struggle like any player but nobody can stop him. All great players would find ways to be great in any era.
Quincy yeah I feel like all great players would find a way to be great in any era of basketball they would just adjust there games.
Still wouldn't be better than MJ or Shaq
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T already better then both 🐐🐐🐐
@@jeremylambert480 He's the goat for losing ill give you that
His best season and by far his peak, But 2008-09 was his athletic peak, He was visibly faster, more agile and jumped higher.
In my mind this is a showcase in why statistical prowess is not necesarily an indication of value or quality of player. This is clearly James' best season, but from the statistics you couldn't really tell as it doesn't jump out like some other seasons.
What's sad about Brons 4 years in Miami Dwade wasn't the Dwade we thought he was gonna be other than year 1. Year 2 he was pretty close to prime Wade skill wise but health wise he wasn't. Then by year 3 and 4 he was still good but nowhere near the Wade we saw in 05 to 09. They win in 2014 most likely if that was the case
Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, not 8
Dwade lowkey sold lebron smh lebron supposed to have at least 6 by now
@@rambobrazy8411 Bron sold Wade in 2011 so they’re even , if Bron hooped in 2011 and Wade was healthy and hooped in 2014 maybe they have 4 rings at the worst 3
Yeah Wade was up and down plus he had to adjust to playing next to Bron. Plus his body was giving on him that 2014 run and it showed when they played the spurs.
Wade got fat and his dumb ass did lebron’s workouts all off-season and during the regular seaso. The first year…Wade had career long knee issues and his body could not handle the volume and intensity of training with lebron which basically caused him to get hurt. He fired mj’s coach, got hurt, then got fat and never got back in shape. Spo even bitched him out and yelled him out for being out of shape and playing like ass against the pacers.
Awesome video, love the series. I would recommend doing Lebron’s 08-09 campaign. Led a mediocre supporting cast to 66 wins despite not having a reliable jump-shot/post-game.
The long-range shot was so smooth that I even thought that was Anthony
damn i cant believe this dude is 270+ and still moves so smoothly bruh god damn
in 2013 lebron was like 258 lbs.
Should've been DPOTY instead of Marc Gasol, who btw didn't even make 1st team all defense
seriosuly???
@@slipknoterman yep that shit was rigged
He was a better defender than LeBron and had the best defensive team. LeBron while good was never a DPOY worthy defender. He rarely ever defended the teams best player. LeBron was far from robbed
@@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t u sound dumb. 2009 and 2013 he was 2nd in dpoy. So clearly he has been in contention. Lebron has defended the best team player. Who else was guarding KD? Lebron slowed him down.
High School LBJ Shane Battier guarded KD and KD averaged 30 on 55%
The scariest he’s ever been. Offensively his efficiency was off the charts, he was a defensive monster at this point in his career and physically, he was unstoppable. Bigger, stronger, faster than everyone else. I believe he was like 265 or something like that, freaking ridiculous.
LeBron has definitely dominated J in this important category. Played a 82 game schedule once in 20 plus years and counting. The KING of playing when he feelsl like it.
I was in Indianapolis for Game 4 and 6 of the Pacers series, literally he was like a basketball superhero lol
I miss Miami Lebron🥺🥺 I cant find his jersey nowhere and it’s annoying.
Where do you live I have one
@@sukhrajsingh5386 I need one too pls 🙏🏾
Statistically this is the greatest individual season of all time. Even above MJ's 87-88 season.
It was the 2012-13 season where i realized that the spin in the paint is lebrons most underrated move. Very tough to guard
It felt like he truly cracked the code of basketball. Coming off of winning his first championship the year before and then following that up by winning gold that summer, it felt like he was a different species altogether than everyone else in the league
I been waiting for this one 🔥
5:00 Damn that fadeaway was clean
hear that net😭😭😭🔥🔥
i disagree. i think lebron got a ugly jump shot form. i dont like watching him play. he just lower his shoulder and bully his way to the paint
@@LOL-ro9ef but he is soft right? He cant handle a phusical era? Lol

2018 was the most complete Lebron but this was his athletic prime. Legendary. Earned entry into the Goat conversation.
2018 most complete?? Lebron hasn’t made a all defensive team sense 2014. 2013 Lebron made all defensive 1st team and was robbed for DPOY and he shot over 40% from 3 that season what are you talking about man.
@@deanskingdom25212018 bron is better, you’re just old
@@NBA0 that’s a great argument you’re speaking facts 😂
do yall remember the 27 game winning streak they went on ??? like this year he was more then locked in
Chamberlain and West had a 33 game winning streak
@@choward5430 against whom? Lol
they did bron dirty robbing him of DPOY, forget Marc Gasol😂😂
2011 mvp 2013 dpoy 2015 finals mvp possible chance at the 2020 mvp if the season did not get cancelled and now probably will go to giannis due tot he layoff and lack of 10 games they will play to get to the playoff sooner..lebron is getting robbed of these awards man ....history needs to remember this stuff like I do...instead they blame him for the 2004 bronze medal as if he was a top 8 rotation player which he was not
@@razkable Tell me what Lebron does this year that Giannis isn't. Lebron has a team-mate that leads the lakers in every statistical category except assists and has proven he can lead a team into the playoffs (not that far but still). Now look at Giannis' teammates, see the difference? Do you honestly think Eric Bledsoe or Khris Middleton could lead a team by themselves.
Ever-time a team has two mvp caliber players its an unspoken rule that they both don't win MVP because they benefit from each other, but I guess that rule is thrown out for Lebron just so he can get a sympathy mvp from the butthurt fans.
ugod234 because lebron is still clearly better than AD. The gulf between them is larger than the one between KD and steph so the situations aren’t quite the same. Giannis should obviously win MVP but that’s because he’s been amazing. So has bron though and I think he’s clearly deserving of the 2nd place spot
@@razkable NBA doesnt want him to be better than Jordan
God bless you for this vid
Been waiting for this, thanks Maxamillion!
Imo this was Lebron's best overall season. Winning MVP and Finals MVP was huge. This was his best long distance shooting season as well combined with his athleticism.
That heat team was so deadly on offense and defense 🔥

Imo the best every single season peaks are this season and 1991 MJ. I have them tied but if you put a gun to my head I'll take 2013 LeBron over any player
0:40 "Nash back to James?" Breen was high that time lmfao
Thought I was tripping 😂😂
Steve nash had his back turned to lebron
This is what is called playing unconscious. 81 Pt from Kobe, MJ ‘96 season. Blessed to witness them all in their primes.
I like 2020's "bubble playoff" Lebron the most. He dominated every series, despite many believing they would lose to the Blazers, Rockets, or Nuggets.
AD also did his part, but Bron was so good that he completely shifted the narrative. The story went from the Lakers looking very vulnerable to them getting "lucky" and having an easy route to the chip.
Bron shot really well, his passing game was his best ever, and he was incredibly aggressive.
Of course, he was much older and lost step in his athleticism and defense, but the strengths more than compensated.
Also, his last year in Cleveland (i.e. no Kyrie) and his 2016 defeat of the Warriors were spectacular.
In the 2012 and 2013 seasons, Bron was certainly at his statistical peak, but he still had more to learn.
Michael Jordan fans think avoiding this video means it didn’t happen😂
It’s crazy ! he can still hit this gear !… he only brings it out sometimes tho…he like a super hero or something
9:36 people don’t realize how hard it is to do what he did there. i literally dropped my phone and went to the other room dude. how tf. 9/10 players airballing or straight bricking that shot
His Last Year in CLE was by far the best version of LeBron💯
2013 born with winning might be the best 2018 born entertainment, and performance by himself, will crush any other LeBron version
Epic montages like these have helped me get through surgery after a life threatening wreck thanks MaxaMilliom
I’m so sorry. Hoping for a speedy recovery, Will. Praying for you.
I don't think we'll see the full package monster that was LeBron James in 2013, perhaps ever again...MVP, Finals MVP, 2nd in DPOY, 57% shooting. Watch the Dom2K video ranking MVPs of the 2010s for perspective
Yup 90-93 MJ and 11-14 Bron were in class by themselves. Pure domination on both ends. I’d like to also mention 02-03 Kobe who was at his peak defensively that year and was becoming unstoppable as a scorer that year.
@@lbj23clutch 06 is my fav kobe
Chris Kar 06 was lethal, definitely the best scoring version. I like 02-03 because he was in his athletic and defensive peak. 08-10 Kobe was the best version as a leader and playmaker
@@lbj23clutch facts but if it was any year that he deserved mvp it was 06
@@lbj23clutch 90-93 Jordan and 11-14 Lebron are the two greatest peaks i saw with Shaq 2000-02 right behind them.
Back when the king was really unstoppable 💪
Really? This was also in 2013
ruclips.net/video/N51OKIZEkQE/видео.html
There really isn't a way to stop him... He's getting in some type of bag regardless
I just dont get how these years didnt break his body down. He was pushing 270 at times with all that speed, bounce, and change of direction. Not to mention how much he got hit. I seen guys like tmac, zion, and even wade here that just broke what the human body can handle. They never got back. Bron in year 21 as i write this, and looks fast as hell in the preseason games here. Fresher than he seemed even a year ago. He just from a different planet. If he keeps playing I'll keep watching. This season was the craziest one though.
this video doesn’t even show all the assist and defensive plays he made. incredible. 🐐
Miami lebron was different. Monster game!
“It’s about damn time, it’s about damn time👑 “
