Timeline of How the Cavaliers lost LeBron James. Part 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 06. 2024
- We all remember LeBron James announcing that he was taking his talents to Miami during the "Decision" TV Special in 2010, but the decision was years in the making. This Timeline shows the early years of LeBron James time with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the events that led up to the Decision.
Part 2 will be coming out soon detailing the Cavaliers rebuild and the Decision to join the Lakers.

Thanks for all the good suggestions of timelines to make next. On deck
are: Warriors, Lakers, Raptors and OKC/Seattle. Let me know if you have
other ideas and thanks for the 10,000 subscribers! Pretty awesome, thanks!
Lakers timeline. From the 2010 championship then being one of the worst team.How they got young guns and Lebron James
Warriors
Yooo this was a good ass video and I'm not a Lebron Fan much respect to the King!
Go on how the warriors assembled the infinity stones hahahaha
Do the DeMar DeRozan era for the raptors
Wow. The Cavs gave LeBron James a garbage team for 7 years straight.
Chris And their angry at him for leaving.
Dude wasted so many years in Cleveland.
And the fans got the audacity to get mad, like cmon Bron doesn’t owe you shit because your team was so fucking ass that they were luckily in position to draft him
It doesn't help when you actually face a good team like the SPURS
Cosmic Flips you act like the fans choose who the team drafts and signs. gtfo heren
Looking back, Lebron probably would have had at least one more title had Cleveland not so horribly mismanaged their team's draft picks, free agent signings, and trades.
don't let this distract you that at 8:38 that Carmelo in a rockets jersey and five years later playing for the rockets
Osazuwa Ogbeide I caught that lol
Osazuwa Ogbeide *8 years
should have just tanked instead of getting lebron could have gotten cp3 and other good picks.Ya'll get on jordan for being a first round exit but atleast they traded up for some good picks
Blue to be fair, most 2000s teams only had one superstar to carry them to the playoffs year to year. The heat with dwade and the mavs with mvp dirk in 06 for instance. Most weren’t lucky enough nor had the support to win like Tmac on the magic or Kobe on the lakers and that’s just how it was.
LOL
2002-2003: Darius Miles "I don't think you can bring a high schooler in and just expect to turn the team around"
2003-2004: Darius Miles *gets benched for Lebron James
D W Darius Miles played for 41 years?
hahaha 2004 my bad
D W lmao he said that cause he saw it coming himself
Jason Double-00 huh
who is darius miles even i love how this dude talking and no one even knows him
it hurts my heart that LeBron spent so much time with such a mediocre team around him, you can tell all he wanted was to bring a championship to the city but the team management couldn't have been worse even to this date.
Sm00th GAMES same here dude. I agree with you 💯
Kyle Hilliard Lmao you told him, he doesn’t know what true basketball is 💯
J S bro as you can tell by MANY different occasions, IT AINT OVER TIL HE RETIRES. To put it in a perspective for you uneducated dumbasses out there, KOBE. He CAME BACK, DROPPED 60. as i say again, DON'T PULL THAT MF FAKE SHIT
@@kh-oj4uf east was the worst its ever been in history, lebrons finals appearances are impressive but WAY over rated. best team he ever faced when making it to the finals was a washed up celtics team. stay woke
@J S KD IS THIS YOUR 50TH YT BURNER ACCOUNT? NICE TRY.. LMFAO
lebron is cleveland, he’s the reason they even won a title
Kyrie was the reason
David Habant lol kyrie didn’t even come close to sniffing the playoffs without his father lebron
@@muhammedalbooboo9222 but still without Kyrie Cleveland would have 0 championships cause Lebron wouldnt make it without him
David Habant wrong, the cavs wouldn’t have even been in the playoffs without lebron let alone the finals
David Habant no. not true. they wouldn't have came back like they did, but don't go say Cavs as a whole wouldn't get a ring.
I just can't get over how badly everyone reacted to him leaving. Like I get the hate over the tv special (really man that's lame) but people were upset, dan Gilbert called him disloyal? That man grinded for around 6 years on that bum organization and they say that stuff, huh no wonder he left again.
UncertainRain -MarioMartocchio Cavs fans are generally ungrateful, but they treated him well when he left to go to LA.
I think it was the way he did it. Like the TV special was like a big F YOU to Cleveland.
?? The tv thing was for charity
?? The tv thing was for charity
@@suntansuperman26 I would've done it too... Cavs never tried to improve over the 6 years LeBron was there the 1st time
damn i hated lebron when he went to miami but now i feel bad an understand why he left why
BoilingHotCoffee I don’t know how you didn’t understand that when he left. Let’s not act as if Lebron was the reason the Cavs were even relevant. You’re management screw him over
Cavs dosent have a role player to back LBJ up
BoilingHotCoffee the cavs sucked so bad the only reason they make the playoffs is lebron so he left to a rebuilding Miami
I think leaving was the perfect choice, it's just how he did it. and honestly, he was a kid with too much pressure and scrutiny. It's not really fair. He went back to Cleveland and got them a title. He owes them nothing.
Im no fan of lebron, but even then i felt, if a player honors their contract and says im playing yhis many years and they do, see ya if you choose to go. I get the other "obligations" or reasons to stay, but under most circumstances maybe all, later, have a nice life.
Can we all just stop listening to Skip Bayless? Like, for real, this dude is just secreting garbage out of his mouth when he's talking Bball..
what the... Of course he was wrong. LeBron James has simply won enough for people to still call him a a non-winner type, and a player that is only effective in the regular season. That is simply an argument that we stopped having. And by what you said, I don't really know, if I should tell you to actually start watching basketball, or if I should tell you to stop watching it.
BeingWokeTV He’s not overrated. Just because he’s 3-6 in the finals means nothing. Statistically, LeBron is up there with all-time greats and no one can deny that. I honestly don’t really count the ring argument when people compare him to MJ. Rings are a team accomplishment, not a player accomplishment.
don't let this distract you that at 8:38 that Carmelo in a rockets jersey and five years later playing for the rockets
BeingWokeTV Them Big ass eyes in your profile and all you can see is Lebron being overrated. A Top 3 NBA player in NBA history smh.
Eh, it's 50/50 with him.
How can you people hate Lebron for leaving cleveland he tried help that sorry team for years.... How long is he meant to help them?
The first time he left, only Cavs fans were mad that he left. Everyone else was simply put off by his "The Decision" special just to announce where he's going. This second time leaving Cleveland, even Cavs fans have nothing to be mad about. He did all he could for that sorry ass franchise.
don't let this distract you that at 8:38 that Carmelo in a rockets jersey and five years later playing for the rockets
Some fans just needed a reason to attack him imo. He gave them 7 years and they failed badly. But fans of a certain player don't acknowledge that.
Osazuwa Ogbeide I caught that too lol
The real question is, "How long do you want him to become THE TEAM himself?"
Oh my god those picks and trades that Cleveland made
Man, the cavs mishandled their draft picks so bad that they make Billy King look good 🤨😂😂😂
steeler091 could they have really gotten anyone better in those drafts? Not saying they were good picks but u get trash drafting in the teens
Who is Jiri Welsch and why was he worth so many Draft picks?
Cuz the cavs have the most dumbest front office ever
He was a fucking nobody, which makes it so much worse. He averaged 18.5 mins and 6.5 ppg before the Cavs traded for him. Then while on the Cavs he averaged 12 mins and 2.9 ppg, and was only with them for one season.
EXACTLY
Damn Imagine Cavs picks Curry and Kyrie stays in the team
Cavs probably misheard that it was Jerry West.
Player leaves team
Moron fan with no life : "ThIs Is ThE WoRsT ThInG To EvEr HaPpEn To Me"
Lmfao that was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. Thay dude has clearly never even sniffed pussy
His loyalty to cleveland is one of the main reasons he doesnt have 6-3 or 7-2 championship record
no tea no shade just facts
How could he win 6 titles in Cleveland, come on now let's be real
@@whitenoisedarkscreen that team he has man. its a god dam shame. if he had just 1 guy co star. he could of had so many championship even with that trash ass team
@No Name So you're going to call his three championships questionable, but yet say all of his loses weren't?
2007- Took a scrub ass team to the Finals who's second best player was worth a pack of tic tacs.
2015- Has two main players injured.
2018- Does the same thing as in 2007, even though Kevin Love is better than anyone on his 2007 team, he was ineffective. Typcial LeBron hater to minimize his accomplishments, but yet magnify his failures.
@No Name you are a super hater and act like LeBron didn't put in work to put his team in positions to win... By your standard LeBron might as well been a bench player. Cleveland was the worst franchise in NBA history until LeBron and was the worst team in the NBA by far which is why they got him in the Draft.
Lebron is such an example. An icon. Surrounded by hate and stupidity all his career, he still always managed to make right decisions and proove everyone wrong in the end. A natural born leader, a true champion.
This video is heart wrenching for me. It's amazing, keep it up man, you have my sub.
Fuck la-bron
Right decisions? 😂 Don't make me laugh
Surrounded by hate that he brought upon himself 😂
@@kombokhan dint he win titles? Dickhead
@@milan7861 the hate that he didn't deserve considering the fact that he was arguably once in a generation player playing for a shithole organisation like Cleveland, anybody would make that decision.

Osazuwa Ogbeide damn, nice catch
@@osazuwaogbeide1540 yeah that was random
Ironic
Skip Bayless makes me sick.
I don’t understand this notion from skip that he is made for the regular season when his numbers were better in the postseason back then, Boston in 08 the big 3 were in their prime but lebron still balled Orlando was a matchup nightmare for him in 09 but he was not the reason they lost he put up godlike numbers in that series, 2010 he didn’t play up to his standard in for the Boston series and his teammates were not stepping up, I still remember kg destroying Antione Jamison every time in the post, so his only two bad series were Boston 2010 and 07 finals but he had no chance of winning anyway
腿迷連skip的一根陰毛都不如 可憐阿
"He hasn't won anything in 6 years"
Y'all realize the team they gave him....
Skip was just using any reason to hate LeBron because he knew that if he had even a little bit of help, he could have potentially received more rings than his precious Michael Jordan and he couldn’t stand that idea.
I remember in 2009 when I was like 4 years old I watched my dad start yelling at the tv and then start crying (We live in Cleveland)
Your dad is a pansy

When you have a Top 3 player of all-time on your franchise for 11 seasons and only win one championship. The Cavs organization is garbage.

This man skip Bayless has been hating on LeBron for the longest time. 5:46
I could understand his criticisms of LeBron pre-Miami, or pre-2016 Championship, because either LeBron was still maturing in his game at the time, learning more about the fundamentals or he hasn't brought the chip to Cleveland, but after 2016, or even 2012 or 2013, I would be like, "Shut up, Skip".
Cleveland didn't appreciate him.
Phillip Beckman How do you figure? And who are you referring to, the fans or the organization?
@@QCongress83 organization
@@QCongress83 organization off course, i think every org will try hard to build a dynasty around such a fucking player like lebron to get a any player expect and thats A RING ! But cavs org was joking around when lebron there back then meanwhile bron always carrying them and put them as contender with minimum support cast over the years.
And whats more that make me cringe was the owner write a letter called him disloyal dan "we win a ring before lebron" which for me that was a shame because without bron the cavs was just sorry ass team with sorry ass organization just take a look right now after he leave for the 2nd time cavs was 0-6 recently and im not see they will comeback and get the playoff this year
bron didn't appreciate Cleveland
@@juwandunbar8897 what do you mean. the guy came back just to try win the city a ring and he did it. he just had to leave because dan gilbert was still there. the owner cost lebron so many rings
66-16 record with that team? C'mon man... He's the GOAT
lol, regular seasons mean nothing. Rings make GOATs MJ, Kareem, Russell, Kobe, Duncan, Magic, Curry. Lebron is in the Wilt and West bracket being they've lost more than they have won and by a considerable margin.
RaurMan wilt is better than all those names mentioned
@@1243qwfull Stop it. Wilt dropping buckets on grocery store clerks and insurance salesmen isnt impressive. Take any players pre 75ish and just remove them from GOAT conversation. Guys were not the athletes they are today, hell most of them werent even full time NBA players.

RaurMan then LBJ SHOULD JUST JOIN THE GSW BEFORE DUMBASS
you cant blame the man when you literally manage the team like a 3rd graders summer hot dog stand.

Did anybody notice Melo in Rockets Jersey? 🤔
TommeeG Chichioco Yeah I think they were expecting Melo to Join/get traded to the Rockets way back 2010 or 2011 but he ends up on the Knicks instead. But hey, the Rockets still manage to get him this 2018 🤣
TommeeG Chichioco
That interview was recent it just had old pictures of LeBron
At the bottom it’s advertising a 2015 truck
I actually loved Melo back in the day but sadly, Boi washed up 😂
“Skiuup” been hating for a long damn time
I was so happy when Lebron left cleveland the first time and sad when we returned to them. The man gave his all every night and for the fans to do what they did when he left was unforgivable. The city of cleveland did not deserve Lebron James.
DONT CARE WHAT THE HATERS SAY ABOUT LEBRON!! HE HAS LIVED UP TO THE HYPE AN THEN SOME!!! HES WORTH EVERY PENNY HE GETS!! HE MIGHT NOT HAVE AS MANY RINGS AS MJ YET!! AND MIGHT NOT EVER GET THEM BUT IF YOUR NAME IS EVEN IN THE SAME BREATH AS THE LEGEND MICHAEL JORDAN YOU THE F#@KING MAN!!!!
FACTS🔥🔥
I love this video format. Amazing work, can't wait to see part 2
2:14 I always smile whenever I see Anderson Varejao. I bet Dawyne Wade does too
Nah LeBron doesn’t deserve all this hate, look at how bad his team was. Cavaliers and the fan doesn’t deserve lebron
Ya he was in the most terrible situations bc no help for 7 years in a row. Then when he went back, his 2 best players got hurt in the finals. Then 2017 kd joined the GSW then 2018 he had no help again
ELECTRIC_OuTpOst yeah imo I feel he has rlly bad luck in terms of his legacy, especially w cavs as his first team who doesn’t hv a winning culture LOL
Bruh let me just say that the music you use for these videos man is just so freaking perfect. It just works so well and helps the narratives unfold (please make more).
These videos have been excellent. Well-produced and documented. Very helpful for those of us late to the party and having to catch up on the action since 90's era Jordan.
No superstar, past, present or future, has or will ever have to endure the media scrutiny or overwhelmingly impossible expectations that LeBron has gone through. Dude has been literally killing himself on the court to succeed since he was 16 years old in HIGH SCHOOL. He’s never had a HOF coach (The closest would be Erik Spoelstra), unlike MJ, Magic, Kareem, Bird, Wilt, Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, etc., who were fortunate enough to have great/HOF coaches for the majority of their careers. In terms of him having a great, high powered executive/GM, Pat Riley was that but Miami wasn’t his team; it was DWade’s team until he took a backseat to let LeBron shine during their Big 3 run but it was short. If you want to compare his teammates and his “help”, LeBron doesn’t compare to the other legends I mentioned. In reality, he’s played with less than a dozen great players in THEIR PRIME and there’s really only one definite HOFer in DWade, with Bosh being a borderline/not first ballot HOF and Kyrie & Love are still debatable but unproven. And the whole 3-6 argument is not valid. Rings aren’t the end all be all. Nor should they. There are so many other variables and factors that you can look at when debating the greats but it’s all subjective. But this mentality that LeBron isn’t a winner or that he isn’t clutch or he’s not a killer is bullshit. He is an all time great player, one of the greatest ever and the GOAT in my book. Enjoy watching him while you still can because he’s not going to be playing for much longer. You don’t have to like him but respect his greatness because once he’s gone, it’s another end of an era.
Couldn't of said it better
I laughed so hard when David Stern said "JJ Is not here"
Nice video. Can't wait for part 2
Please keep making videos like this these are my favorite ones I love the timelines
8:38 2010: rockets wants melo
2018:Rockets regret it
irrelevant comparison of the years
I mean he was good at the time but Melo waited too long and now he’s just too old
I'll never forget when the Cavs won the draft pick. I was 9 years old, playing basketball outside our little suburban home in the driveway. Suddenly, I heard my parents screaming in the house - as if something really amazing had happened. That's the first time I ever learned of LeBron
I really like your timeline videos, the concept and the music are perfect! 👌🏼🔥
I love your content, it’s amazing, thanks for making this💯
That's the difference between GSW and CC - Warriors build around Curry and gave him every opportunity to grow, taking care of missing pieces, drafting talents and being patient. Good relationship. On the other hand, Cavs got a talent so bright, it happens once or twice in a generation, but instead of helping him they've decided to put all responsibility on LeBron. And he's done a pretty amazing job, holding the King's responsibilities on his own back with no support from the others. And then got bashed for leaving? Dang. Bad relationship.
lebron should of been better then MJ because he would of as many rings if they just gave him a decent all star. you cant give me an 09 shaq. a old ass wallace. these guys are okay but they old.

9:21 my little brother was born on that day in the same year he made his decision to leave the cavs
More importantly imagine being a Cavs fan in the 80's and 90's and waking up every morning thinking "why does Michael Jordan keep doing this to us?"
Being a knicks fan mustve bern hell
lol, MJ and the Cavs had some personal vendettas. MJ got his career-high on them, stopped them in the playoffs 5 fucking times, and then of course "the shot"
I love your work so much! Just want you to know that! Greetings from Berlin.
Love the content, keep it up
8:30 Imagine LeBron plying with a healthy Derrick Rose
Cavs are the worse run organization of all time
this guy took them to 5 finals and won 1 because of Draymond being suspended game 5 and flipped the series
their management is so poor, they overpaid ass players and this guy had to try and lift up a trash team that without him wouldn't even finish 8th seed
what a joke of a team and organization
Rooz - and some teams haven’t made it to the finals... 🤷♂️
so lebron basically made the decision to throw a shitload of money on tristan..... he tries to be gm and he desperately failed.... superstars dont want to play with him because he is too ball dominant but its the cavs fault... yep sure
Rooz - I mean just think about it, even Memphis could’ve built a championship team faster around him than Cleveland did. Memphis built a nice core of good players who all fit and were contenders for years so yeah Cleveland was the worst franchise to even draft a talent like Lebron James
Rooz - please don’t say the only reason they won cause Draymond was suspended 😂😂 maybe If that dumbass didn’t get so many technicals before he wouldn’t of been suspended.. and the warriors only won the year before because they was no kyrie and Kevin love.. please chill, but I do agree that the cavs are a terrible ass organization and you cannot disagree with that one
Roflcopter Ausdertiefe yes it is the cavs fault.. guess you didn’t watch the video
Like these, keep it up!
Looking forward to part 2!
Young LeBron literally just needed any kind of secondary talent behind him and he would have had 6-7 rings. He literally carried a g-league team to the finals.
As a Cleveland fan this shit hurts. But 2016 made up for it big time
Great channel, deserve 1-3 mil subs
Excellent video. Well done.
"His top two front runners are the cleveland cavaliers and the chicago bulls" that was wayyyyy off like gah damn
He was thinking of going to Chicago at that time but i read that D Rose said he didn't need the help.
Kevion White I don't believe that at all
Oh yea media made that up completely. There was zero indication where he was going to go at the time... so if there ain't too much of a story than them fuckers gonna make a story
LeBron got traded to the Heat for draft picks.
Bro you keep putting out videos like these and you’ll hit 100,000 subs no problem
LOVE THESE VIDEOS
when I was growing up and seeing this all unfold, I still to this day never seen such a toxic community like the Cleveland Cavs and their fans send so much hate to one specific player over a trade. Really baffles me
I was born in Miami
I’ll always know him as number 6 with his best years in Miami heat
fantastic video. you earned a sub :)
