Lebron has had like 5 primes in his career.
@@erikpuka2627 Tim Duncan's better huh? How many series did he beat Kobe, in which Kobe was healthy for (Kobe tore his achillies before getting to the playoffs and being swept by the Spurs in 13....)? Kobe cooked that ass in the 3 peat days, and in 04 and 08 (you know, the virtually same team that swept Lebron in the 07 finals previous year??) . Do some research fam.
HAHAHAHA
I think 08-10 Is LeBrons physical prime but 2015-2017 is LeBrons mental prime with a little athleticism in the tank to still be considered "prime".
@@dillonknudson3820 Kobe didn't do any cooking of Tim Duncan's ass from 00-02, it was all Shaq cooking and Kobe's inefficient ass got carried, then you skipped talking about 03 where Duncan won, not to mention 99 when Kobe was supposed to take over from MJ...04 doesn't even matter because the Lakers lost to the PISTONS because Shaq was out of shape and Kobe wouldn't pass. Tim Duncan had a more consistent, more dominant career than Kobe Bryant. Also given how Kobe ruined his team's chemistry for the prime of his career and fucked the salary cap in his later years, whereas Tim Duncan ended up taking less money to get another two shots at the finals while Kobe's Lakers stank up the league, I'd take Tim as higher on my all time list any day
@@vbrown9905 not only that lebron was favored to win the championship by large margin 🤣🤣 he literally choked
imagine 09 lebron athleticism with 18' lebron bball iQ
12 rings
He gained more muscles that he lost slightly his speed and athleticism
Unstoppable
@Jameel Gayle He looked bigger in Miami, but not TOO bulky, he was in his athletic prime around the time of this video and his years in Miami. I'd say he really started to get bulkier when he went back to cleveland
@@uptightpanic7058 something called PEDs
They need to go back to presenting the regular season MVP during playoffs
Nope. I think it makes the winner and his team overconfident when they announce MVP during playoffs
agreed
@@ichiagou u mad
I agree the fans deserve to take part of that moment
@@watchandlaugh2362 how?
Lmao Al Horford has gotten dusted up by LeBron for a decade, he's on every highlight of the opposing team.
still wondering if there someone watchin horford's higlights lol
Hahahaha, that's true..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha…long term abuse!
“The east was weak” ... NO, Lebron made it look weak!! Ppl try so hard to forget how amazing this dude was for that cavs team. Lost but his leadership was on another level.
Anthony Ortiz facts bro
I always tell people that Lebron could have definitely won at least one chip before going to Miami if he had one Allstar in his first run with the Cavs. I mean he was really unfortunate to be drafted to such a horrible organization, and his manager and teammates with all the drama didn't deserve him. Just imagine if he was drafted to the spurs like Kawhi was. Or some decent team in the league.
@@aiman.21 This is the most factual but most overlooked part of LeBron's career. Cleveland is probably the worst organization for a young star to be drafted to. Michael Jordan went to the Bulls who knew what they were doing, Kobe Bryant went to the Lakers who had mastered the championship formula, and Tim Duncan was able to flourish with a top-5 basketball organization of all time. Like seriously, how can you win 1 championship when you had LeBron James for 11 seasons?!
It's no different from MJs skills, different eras but LBJ & MJ destroyed competition
@@heewoneum3696 It was just terrible management. Year after year the cavs organization failed to supply Lebron with a championship surrounding squad. Actually, forget championship squad, they couldn't even supply him with an average squad. The manager basically ran him out of the city. The year after that team was a ghost town.
Y’all forget how long LeBron has been a Top 2 player in the league. It’s been since my 6th grade year in 06 to now in 2019 when I’m 25 with a son on the way lol
Congrats on your son!
whos first in the league?
@@aiman.21 At the time Kobe was. I would say Lebron became undisputed best player 2012 onwards
Aiman Mohammed used to be kobe and then it's debatable lebron or Durant.
@@drewjohnson918 I can agree with that. Although I would say 2009 playoffs and after that he was the best. 2011 he choked in finals, but leading up to that, especially in boston series he was looking like the best player to me.
Looking at this I just realized LeBron has beaten Al Horford in the playoffs in all 3 different teams he played for bruh if that’s not owning somebody’s soul I don’t know what is .
And he about to beat him in the finals this year as well
He’s 21-0 against Kemba

2nd best player on the team was mo williams.........

To actually last wilt, Shaq got lazy
2009 LeBron was a completely different beast...imagine on a star team playing the 3. Insta finals
lol more like insta chip.
I remember in that series, all the Orlando shooters refused to miss their threes. Plus with prime Dwight clogging the middle, Idk what the Cavs could do to stop them.
@@19rubbish that Cavs team was built to play Boston not tha spread kind tha magic run they were to slow to match up
Yonnie Zerfu dwight was locked in DPOY that year, VAREJAO couldnt contain him. Only Mo Williams was the only help that he got..
Every time I watch an old highlight of LeBron, I always say to myself “Well it’s LeBron, there’s nothing he can do to impress me anymore”. And then he does.

@@willfriday4236 Nah Bron Is A Great For Sure Best All Around Player Of All Time
Just look at how fast he use to be
Yup, young legs.
Man, I love watching young, raw, freakishly athletic LeBron when he made these GARBAGE teams legit playoff teams/contenders all by himself. This series was typical of LeBron's first run with CLE in that CLE had LeBron and basically no one else b/c D. Gilbert wouldn't get him any legit help and ATL had 4 all-star caliber players with Bibby, J. Smith, Johnson, and Horford. And yet LeBron would get criticized when he couldn't singlehandedly overcome those kinds of teams even though NO ONE in NBA history ever won it all without some legit help on their team. No one. Not Russell, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabaar, Johnson, Bird, MJ, Kobe, Shaq, etc. Nonetheless, thanks for the upload!
I see lebron every day of my life and i forgot the fast and velocity and power he had. The most complete player in the history the goat
Kobe’s my favorite player but LeBron is really the best basketball player ever.

Fact: Al Horford didn't win any playoffs against Lebron in his career
Imagine LeBrons 2007-2014 speed and athleticism with his 2015-present IQ and mentality man oh man
lebron's 2007-2014 athleticism and 2018 mentality
@@karltolentino6244 god help us.
One of the most fun player to watch probably ever.
still ask myself why he stayed at cle for so long
Team and city and region loyalty. He grew up next to Cleveland. They drafted him. He eventually realized with Boston's big 3 he needed a big three to beat them. Then his best friend, Dwayne Wade offered that to him.
2020? And it's official, lebron has had 4 primes
I would have wanted to see the 2009 Cavs vs The Lakers in the Finals
he's never played Lakers, Heat, or Cavs in the playoffs
Crazy to think Verajao and LeBron have been around each other for so long
This year i got caught in the moment and started doubting bron as the greatest ever and had to come back and see what he's done throughout his career... a different beast man you can debate MJ as the goat but bron top 2 for sure.
Lebron top 2 and he ain’t number 2.
What about Kobe or wilt or Kareem
Teshalech Solomon kobe like 7-8
@@crazycriz5000 if he played this way his entire career he would be but for the past 6 years THE WAY he plays is not that of the best player ever.
@@waanb4312 He was like 23 or 24 years old here. If you’re expecting a guy in his mid 30s to play the same as he did in his early 20s then you have a lot more to worry about than if Lebron is number 1 or 2.
crazy to see him spring this much on his jumper, he shoots a set shot from 3 now
Word what a change
Yea huge difference. Reason his outside shooting percentage differs from one season to another. Sometimes he's so good at shooting. Another season he cant shoot anymore lol
First time I've seen this series. I've been in Peoria 32 years and don't get Cavs games, unless they're on national TV.
Lebron dominant as usual. The Hawks had no one to guard him. His jumper was going really good and when you combine that with being able to beat any player off the dribble, there's nothing anyone can do. You need outstanding team defense and great team offense to beat the Cavs of this era.
I love how bouncy and quick Lebron was at this age. You see him go from the 3 point line to the rim with one dribble. The silly commenters (Hubie) say, "You can't leave that lane open. it's too easy for Lebron." The lane's not open--Lebron goes around the defense before it can react.
I really thought this Cavs team was gonna win that year. Man. They had such great chemistry. LeBron was a monster... Still is.
If lebron isnt a top 2 player to u, dont talk to me about basketball.
@@sophieenthusiast3161 "magic". He would destroy magic

When you put the mycareer on rookie
Bruh this lebron was like 6'8 250lbs drose type smh
That step back 3 almost at half court is ridiculous man. C'mon...
LeBron James is the only person who can surpass Michael Jordan.
Dave PH unfortunately it’s not going to happen.
@@judahmourneth3211 I still believe bron could still get 6
KobeWitThaFade ehhhh idk bro we’ll definitely see
He doesn’t need rings. Lebron is already a better player than Jordan. He will be high up stats in almost every category when he retires.
Captain state lmao...yeah because winning championships means nothing over a bunch of accumulative stats. Aww man you lebron stans
If you watch this man and think theres ever been a better, more complete player you are lying to yourself.
A lot of people are
bro now i know why mj fans hate him so much hes unstopable
he made josh smith look like a point guard. I think everyone forgot how much more athletic he was than everyone else thank god he didnt have the shot he has now or the IQ
his still pretty athletic now but this kind of athleticism is just other wordly
People say this man lacks skill or shot making ability like jordan and Kobe. But dude is a built like a tank and moves quicker than some guards. Good luck
The Q used to go dummy before he ever left... it was a different vibe
facts. like every game there was a big ass party 🎊🥳🎉🍺🍻🥂
Damn at 5:17 what kind of wizardry is this...! This man's basketball IQ is off the charts, and that's a fact!
And people really think Dennis Rodman could shut down Lebron.
Lol they crazy
Bron would blow the doors off Rodman just like he did Artest
yes he could by getting in his head. Do you think lebron would be able to m,mentally withstand the fact that Rodman would squeeze his ass and balls on every possession he guards him????
@@jasonredic9457 no he wouldn't know why???he would get in his head. Do you think lebron would be able to mentally withstand the fact that Rodman would squeeze his ass and balls on every possession he guards him????
Who? Rodman? Rodman cant even shut down James Worthy back in the days! 😆😆😆
GOAT 🐐🐐🐐
I dont see michael Jordan
Christian Roberts Because he’s not talking about #2, if he was he’d say MJ’s name
When everything is said and done, lebron will be considered the greatest to ever do it
Jordan and LeBron to me have the ONLY real arguments as the GOAT. Kareem, Kobe, even Duncan deserve shoutout but only two players ever truly dug deeper than anyone else ever had, and those are His Airness and King James. Anyone else is like sure they deserve nomination but the only two players that matter wore 23.
If we awarded Playoff MVPs (which we really should) LeBron would have been '09's, unquestionably.
Would have been every year since 2013
Na Kobe would have got it clearly.
@@jubfat hands down..
2:58 *GOAT SPEED*
You put Jordan, Kobe, Magic, Kareem, or Duncan on this team instead of Bron, I doubt they reach the Conf Finals
In that weak East they’d be ok.
Put Bron on the 06 Lakers instead of Kobe and they dont even come near the playoffs.
@@hasansiddiqi91 lol ok
Hasan Siddiqi that’s like adding a more athletic majic Johnson with the ability to score 50 % fg from the field and drop 27 points a night
Khrymez
Magic played with shooters and Big men. Brons playmaking is only effective with shooters.
Plus magic had the clutch gene and Bron has developed over the years some confidence in the clutch.
Magic was not a liability from the free throw line.
Bron is.
@@hasansiddiqi91 LeBron has been hitting playoff game winners since his first playoff series. Highest PPG in elimination games and game 7s. More playoff game winners than Jordan/Kobe combined. Higher FG% in the final minute of playoff games AND final 10 seconds of playoff games (tie/go-ahead shots) than Jordan and Kobe
Stop it with the narrative that he wasn't always clutch. He has been clutch since day 1.

Straight beast....unbelievable how official bron is... great Scott's man...
First MVP Lebron was different. He always was confident with the mid range
This is why I lowkey think he was better when he was less efficient. Defenses couldn't rely on seeing the same spots from him
Look at the scores this cavs team was tough on defense
LBJ, the bane of the Hawks franchise
Thoughts about the pacers and the raps
the bane of -insert any east team- franchise
He swept these niggas so much lol.
He talks so much more intelligent and educated now, never noticed how much different he talks till now.
How quickly they forget.
@centenario de oro lmao Duncan and his team of all stars
I don’t see how or why he gets so much hate this man carried that franchise with literally all bench players it’s sad Cleveland never tried to help him win
I remember watching this series as a hawks fan .. sad time
5:31 man was Curry before Curry 😂🐐
4:54 this is amazing crossover and reverse dunk man
Lebron is so fast and athletic when he was younger
Ive never seen anybody like this man ever,
Early days of Lebron in Cleveland was something amazing to watch as a kid growing up..
I remember when he did this to my Hawks.
GOAT James
This wasn’t the most talented team but man they were damn near perfectly compatible with LeBrons game. This team had awesome chemistry.
They just needed another Superstar to go along with him. It was a great Defensive team but couldn't keep up scoring wise vs the best out West. If another star was on the team they could have won it all.
Mgn Al yeah plus lebron vs kobe debate will be over..
@@imprinceshandy its sad Dan Gilbert couldn't find anyone good to join the team smh
@@bagofrats3464 truth is no legit star wanted to move to CLEVELAND of all places lol not even to play with this monster. Also back then stars weren't getting together like they are today
@@avlbj there's no getting together because other teams back then can create their own dynamic duo through draft picks, which the Cavaliers can't because LeBron is so good.
Man he’s so good. He’s a rare specimen
This so so random, but I _know_ I cannot be the only one who misses the sound the rims made when guys dunked the ball (I'm guessing they used to have microphones really close to the rim in the NBA? I know the NCAA does or did).
On this Games, He proves that He will Dominate the NBA soon. Truly proves that He is the Chosen 1, just look how he makes every touch he wanted.. almost perfect ❤️
That step-back 3 tho 👀
Keep uploading those man they're great to watch. Fond memories...
here you can compare todays tatum vs 6th year lbj in the league, this explosiveness and strenght are on different level compared to tatum and dont get me wrong tatum is great
Give this LeBron his Phil Jackson, and put a Pippen/Shaq on his side let's see who the true GOAT is.
ez 10 rings
Watching here after they won that 2020 championship. How fast time flies.
This year Cavs team is equivalent to 2017 rockets. Only thing is this team had the best record in the nba. & lebron was most definitely gassed. The magic thoroughly outplayed the cavs and out coached them. If the cavs would’ve went to the finals they would lost in 5 or 6. Lebron is my favorite player but I’m just being objective here.
An Forreal Like This Man Had No Help At All.. 😢 Da 👑 L.B.J
put mj or kobe on this cavs roster and they wont make it past the first round lmao. lebron james is the greatest basketball player ever. just appreciate this fact, dont lie to yourself.

Greatness.
LBJ thanks for bringing GOATness back
It was like LeBron was in his prime multiple times, 2009, 2012, 2018
2009 was LBJ’s athletic prime. He was faster than all the fastest point guards. Could jump higher than anybody. Was just as strong as the strongest big men in the game. He was absolutely unguardable. The Cavs were a problem, but they would have been a huge problem if LeBron just had one other consistently good player next to him.
