In Lebron James 20 NBA Career he has created a bunch of Rivals, or has had rivals in the way of the one goal every NBA team has. A NBA Championship. So as Lebron James potentially goes into the twilight of his career in year 20 and now being the leader in NBA History with 268 games played in the playoffs and counting. I think it is a good time to go back and rank all of Lebron James biggest Rivals on a tierlist to discuss who Lebron James has had the hardest time with in the NBA Playoffs. Whether it be Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the Big 3 in Boston with Paul Pierce, or even his legendary Battle with the San Antonio Spurs!

Give us one for kobe
Considering dude made the playoffs every year of his career, a Tim Duncan version would be interesting
Love the ideas y’all are giving me 💪
Jimmy butler needs to be in here they've played multiple close series against each other and when they met in finals Jimmy held bron to 40% shooting from the field while defending him
In hindsight I probably should’ve added the Bulls since he faced them 4 times in 5 seasons. But I think I mentally blocked them out since in 3/4 meetings they clobbered in 5 games. And as we know Lebron only faced a peak DRose in one postseason and the rest was Jimmy.
But he’s never beaten him
@@TheSkyrimps3 idk he demar in there and demar was someone he bullied where jimmy is easily one of his toughest competitors he's ever faced even in the 13 series with baby jimmy he gave him hell
Now you have to do one for Kobe.
Ooooh, I like the idea for that 👀
@@Alvini_Linguine I bet Steve Nash or Duncan is Kobe's greatest rival
@@ivanbautista5530Def Duncan, A.I.,Tmac,wade
Playoffs Dirk Duncan Nash tony Allen
I feel like he don’t have that many besides the spurs, 2000s suns, and Celtics.
Steph and Bron rivalry still going and can’t believe you left out the 2021 play-in and 2023 second round matchup … hopefully we get more between warriors and lakers
Personally I don’t count the Playin as the “playoffs” and this video was written before the series and edited during the series 😂
Lmfao the play-in isn't playoffs is a debatable controversial statement I kinda agree with 😂
@@Alvini_LinguinePat Beverly would disagree.
as wizards fan lebron was annoying asf to play
I can ONLY imagine 😭😂
Raps fan here and gawd damn that shit hurt
How and they were NEVER good enough 😂
@@JacksonCowson they were never good enough demid defrozen submitted to his lebron on national television yall was doomed from jump 😂😂
He was ur first victim lol. Bron trash talking arenas when he was shooting free throws
6:28 one of the coldest moments in playoff history
Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
Another long ass video to keep me from thinking about the endless pain of being a NY sports fan lfggggggg
Feel ya man, Suns fan here
Lowkey. You could give Kobe a spot on the list solely for the fact that for the entirety of 2000s they were the “who’s better than who” convo for best player in the league
For sure! Wanted to focus on playoffs specifically tho just to make the formatting easier to understand and navigate for viewers. 💪
Liked this to come back later and watch. Seems like a cool idea for a series of videos.
it's easily greg poppovich. not only did they have the back and forth in 2007, 2013, and 2014, but steve kerr was also a student of greg poppovich, employing multiple systems including the spurs's ball movement to spearhead the warriors
The Lance Stephenson saga was the best lol
Bron's biggest rival is male pattern baldness 💀
Correction: The Raps got Ibaka in the winter of 2017, though they were potentially looking to sign him in the summer of 2016. Unfortunately, they lost Biyambo to the Magic as well, and they gave up Terrance Ross to Orlando as well to get Ibaka. So they lost some depth to get Ibaka, but it all worked out at the end of the day.
Definitely Tim Duncan he got one on Timmy but Duncan got 2 and a sweep on baby lebron
alvini been subscribe since 2020, pls make an updated version of the nba comparisson vids to youtubers, love form the philippines
Very well put together video.
Thank you 🙏😁
What he did to the Hawks is Legendary! Defiantly an honorable mention!!
Wild to think ab how as soon as he went to Miami he didn’t have a serious rival in the east til he left to LA, a couple close series here and there but beat everyone in the end
Spurs is most definitely S tier … You trippin
Fr, curb stomped him twice and the one time he does beat them, Ray Allen had to save his ass
And the Spurs kept them from a 3peat
The Spurs ended the LeBron Heat run. That's S Tier for me
I feel the bulls should’ve been up here for sure
I would also add Atlanta on here, had some great series against them, never lost too
That’s why they aren’t rivals. Lol
As Joel Embiid says “This is not a Rivalry… They always kick our ass”
@@trollinthedungeon5255 he never lost to Washington or Indiana either
@@bones3142 thank you
the pistond definitely deserve to be here
Unfortunately he only faced the GOOD Pistons twice. Once when he was blocked off in the 2nd round and the other time when he made his first finals. I was looking more for series that lasted atleast 3.
Came here expecting the Pistons, but I get the reasoning.
However, for an extra bit of LeBron/Pistons history.. In the third to last game of the 04-05 regular season, Detroit beat the Cavs which I believe knocked them out of playoff contention that year (I was there, great game).
So, I imagine when LeBron finally did pass Detroit by dropping 25 straight in that same building a couple seasons later, it may have felt particularly good to him.
Great video!
Thank you thank you thank you for this video this video alone is gonna put the much needed respect on Paul piece name in the east besides Gilbert arenas pierce was the only other player that I have seen challenge lebron bucket for bucket also I wish we could of see iverson vs lebron in the playoffs I know Cleveland probably would won but iverson would have gave them hella problems
Pierce isn’t exactly a household name for a lot of people since he isn’t the flashiest. But he was always that guy in Boston and knew how to get buckets. I rewatched that game where he scored 41 on Bron and he makes it look so simple 😂. Mainly because he ain’t doing all the flashy stuff
@@Alvini_Linguine growing up I was more of an iverson guy. It wasent until later maybe 10-11 that I really realised how good he was. Also as a defender pierce free throw line pull up would make me want to punch him. He got that shot off all the time yet people knew it was coming. Besides the warriors with KD. Boston is the only team that thought they could beat lebron.
@@t-god2439 The spurs too. If memory serves the spurs were favored by Vegas both times the two teams (heat/spurs) met in the finals.
Pierce is my all time favourite, he gets hated on too much, makes sense tho, he killed everyone’s favourites and talked a lot of trash doin it💚
@@user-eo9fl9wb8s I mean in the east
I have notis on for you and CZcams didn’t send me one. Wtf CZcams?
Yep, sounds like YT 😭. Atleast you found the video. Appreciate the support 💪
How about the Bron kd rivalry when kd was on the thunder.
Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets gonna be there soon, also should have added Lakers Vs warriors this year lol, (Bulls should have been on this list I feel)
Kawhi Leonard
Good vid,You def should do mj
Heheheheheh I’ll keep that in mind 😈
Kobe got some interesting ass playoff rivals as well
As a gs fan the 2016 ginals will haunt me forever😂
Honorable mention goes to Jason Terry for outscoring Lebron in the finals.
Truth is the only one
Anyone who calls Miami fans fickle doesn’t know Miami, respectfully. Especially Heat fans. Marlins lost the support of the true fans in the city but people from Miami will do anything for the Heat… this needs to end
Honestly I think the fact that Udonis Haslem is basically a god in Miami is proof of that. I know some of that is because he’s from Miami, but it’s so rare to see a fan base have such deference for a guy who was mostly a rotation player throughout their career (no shade, I like UD).
None of these are really S. I don't think anyone today has an S tier rival tbh. I can see Celtics being A for Jimmy. 76ers-Celtics meet a lot but when does Philly win? This is a good moment to call Embiid the 2nd round merchant
You just be saying shit
2017 wasn't as bad as ppl think
Kyrie love and Jr Smith all out scored
Curry klay and green
So the difference came down to Lebron vs KD and KD won that batte which is why they won
You should have put the pistons
How u didn’t include the bulls ???? 👀😭
Bro literally faced them 2010,2011,2013,2015
A straight up oversight honestly. And then add onto the fact this video was already 50 minutes long 😂😭
Ain kno you was From hoover frat I’m from birmingham
Born and raised in Bama. Didn't move here until I went to HS lol.
So no Dirk?
They faced each other once in the playoffs so no
@@Alvini_Linguine and that one time is arguably Lebron's biggest choke job
Do MJ next please
😈😈😈😈
I'd said it before the spurs are very great organization and a great coach if lebron was drafted in the spurs it's a 12 rings easy it's like king arthur wielding the x calibur
I'm disappointed by the lack of mention of Dwight Howard. All though they only played 1 series in which Bron lost, they did have multiple battles in the regular season. While also both were gunning it for the best young talent in the late 00's & the early 10's.
I was thinking of adding things like that to the video. But as you can see the video turned out to be almost a hour long 😭😂. So I had to narrow it down to just playoff rivals instead
Nah dude be glazing
Do this with Kobe
Chicago?
dillon bricks goat tier
I think you will need to add Jokic in one day after he sweeps lebron haha
Damn, called it lol.
W video
Thank ya 🫡
you forgot the pistons
Pistons???
this is my first video and idk if you’re a clippers fan or if you were attacking the many heart breaks i have experienced as a clippers fan
I am a Clippers fan and I was also doing that 😭
This is cool and all: but I still wanted to see LeBron vs Kobe in the finals
Dwight Howard ruined it 😭
A rivalry is only when both teams actually win series 😂😂 besides gs and the spurs and Boston the rest hell no 😂
As I defined in the intro a rival pertains to two groups going after the same goal and fighting for superiority. Yes Lebron may have not seen it that way, but for the other side he is the reason no one else can compete in the East. So while he didn't think of them as rivals, the other team did. I see your point, but I did explain what I said fully in the video.
Gilbert arenas and the wizards…
The Celtics or warriors are his biggest rivals
the Gospel: Jesus Christ dies on the cross for your sins died and rose on the 3rd day, If you believe this you shall be saved. Amen
No kevin durant????
Michael jordan
Bro said over the pond in reference to Canada🤣🤣 vini you ain’t the brightest man
Yall ALWAYS TRYN TA PUT THAT DRESS WEARIN CLOWN ON MJ LEVEL...
Tim shoulda been 3-0 against lebron. Not much of a rivalry in all honesty
But he isn't tho is he plus that 2013 finals wasn't a fluke
Im brons rival
Pity dirk only faced lebron once
The league should retire the number 23 #jordan
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Le Bron paid channel
Jesus Christ loves you
LeBron's biggest rival is AGE. It's time to retire.
Saw this man whiff a dunk today 😭. It’s been nice Lebron
bro can’t say rivalry
Not at all. Let’s just look past that 😘😅😭
@ 25:45 you said Lebron created his own Dynasty team. Relax, Miami was NOT a Dynasty. A core group with 3 rings or more makes a “Dynasty”.
They weren't a dynasty. Wade was injured and Bosh was on the decline. They had zero depth and ray allen also being old. Wade still had seasons where he was a all star
Isn't Kevin Durant a rival to Lebron?
Yes and no. Mainly talking about the teams he faced a lot in the playoffs and the players associated with them.
The heat were not a Dynasty. They won 2 rings. And one of those rings they had to get lucky in g6. Your video is a JOKE
Luck? Off a offensive rebound? To one of the best shooters of all time? And a great 4th quarter from Lebron in that game? Ok sure 😭😂
@@Alvini_Linguine
Bro... they brought out the velvet ropes and Larry O. That was a fluke. The spurs proved it the next season. Get off Lebroom's dick lmao
RIVALRY
