Prime LBJ or Prime Griffin in a Dunk Contest, who wins?
Absolutely LBJ
LBL

Lbj shit blakes dunk contest dunks were kinda boring tbh besides jumping over the hood of a car which 99% of the nba can do. Lebrons just too nice with it in the air he makes it look way too clean and aggressive/powerful at the same time

From 03-10 Lebron James athleticism was on another planet, personally me I think he’s the most athletic player ever because at 6’9 260+lbs I’ve never ever seen anybody with that speed and jumping ability
You can extend that to 2018 tbh he didnt lose much athleticism
@@geezer.d.luffy. Yea but his athletic peak was 03-10 now don’t get me wrong he was still jumping crazy after but that timeline was his athletic peak to me
6'8

@Chris Turner He's a short ass forward. Don't try to give him credit by adding a inch 😂
Tears almost came out my eyes man. We gonna miss him when he is gone. Appreciate greatness while we still can.
Lost 6 times in the finals and swept 3 times in the finals. What’s so great about it?

All I have to say is that i'm 42 years old and when Lebron came into the league I was in my early 20s. Me and my Brother saw his 1st game. Right away we knew that he was special. The fact he played for this long and hes still that good, is mind blowing. My 20s were hard times. Don't know how I even survived. I would watch every game he played. It took my mind of the struggle I was going threw as a young Man. So I'm thankful 🙏🏽 to Lebron for that. I needed it, so I stuck with him threw his career and watched every game I could. Still to this day. I grew up watching Jordan play, he was unreal, but as the years went on and I got older, Lebron became my favorite player, and watching both Jordan.and Lebron play in their prime. I got Lebron as the GOAT. Long Live King James 👑
I make sure I'm gonna watch as many of his games before he retires. Which hes getting close too. Everybody better watch because you're never going to see anything like him again!
Said like a real one me n bron same age so Mj was that dude coming up but bron on a different level boy 🐐
That's real he brought joy and inspired many.im in my 20's I hope I make it . But I'm grinding fa sho. I've done a ton but the job nowhere near finished
I am from philppines, salute to my favorite LeBron,he's one of a kind,, no one can surpasses his performance, graveh talaga
Yup. MJ was my favorite as a kid. LeBron was/is my favorite as a young adult, and an adult old enough to start losing his hair. 😂
Who’s better between them? I don’t care. I love(d) watching both of them. I hope LeBron is able to play until I’m a grandfather. 😅
Bro, now that you're 42, and I'm going to assume you were an athlete, have you noticed that even though you believe you feel the same, you've got about ¼ of the athleticism you had in your 20s? Haha, a few weeks ago, I was playing soccer with my kids and some of the high schoolers as well as a few parents, I went to take off running and it's like my brain was saying "shit bro, you're still just as fast as when you were 20" so I take off and it's like in my mind my legs were going to be jist fuckin moving at light speed like they used to, and I feel flat on my mf face! For NO other reason than I tried to move my legs faster than what they were capable of going anymore. Shit had me fucked up. I've been spending 2 hours a day in the gym ever since, haha.
The highspeed dunks where he lands way out of bounds are crazy
No one else long jumps like that and it’s crazy
He had a dunk from the free throw line vs milawaukee or the hawks
@@tyvondavis I agree...it's unnecessary
That's from the momentum he builds on his drives. The best in NBA history at building momentum in fast breaks.
@@Zion122 damn really? I thought it was from how slow he runs
Guys, let’s appreciate him while we still have him. He doesn’t have much time left. He’s One of One.
So True. At age 38 , LeBron consistently ran out of gas in the fourth quarter in the Denver Series.
LeBron shot a record low 1 for 22 for 3-pointers in the 4th quarter during the playoffs.
Game 1 Denver series, 4th quarter 1 offensive rebounds, shooting 0 for 2 from 3-pointers, 1 for 4 field goals.
Game 2 Denver series, 4th quarter 0 offensive rebounds, shooting 0 for 3 from 3-pointers, 3 for 7 field goals.
Game 3 out of gas in 4th quarter 0 offensive rebounds, shooting 1 for 4 from 3-pointers, 2 for 6 field goals.
Game 4 out of gas in 4th quarter 0 offensive rebounds, 0 for 1 from 3, 1 for 6 field goals, 3 points.
@@RetrieverTrainingAlone tbh i think bron needs to sit out half of the 3rd quater but thats just me
@@xtucs he couldn’t, his teammates didn’t show up… aka AD. LeBron has to play 48 mins
@@ryedye335 shit forgot about that but still shocking hes playing a whole game at 38
@@xtucs Or retire as it is hard to watch an aging athlete decline. Look at Melo, Howard, etc that played way too long and will be remembered as slugs by the younger fans that only saw them play as aging all stars. LeBron once was the best defender in the NBA, now he just walks, stands and rests on defense. LeBron was once the greatest closer in the NBA, he has not hit a clutch shot to win a game in years.
3:47 the one in Phoenix I saw in person and was sitting in that end zone about 20 rows back. I've been to over 100 nba games in my life and that was the most jaw dropping display of athleticism I've ever seen live. Absolutely unbelievable
These dunks are ridiculous… when he was younger, he definitely had 99 overall athleticism.
Shit 💯
bron was the bar for athleticism lmao
‘09 bron was fucking ridiculous
Nah fr bron one of the reason 2k got stupid contact animations 😂
I never really noticed a decline in Lebron’s athleticism until like maybe late in 2018 to 2019. He can still jump like he did in his prime just doesn’t do it much anymore. Which is to be expected.
Well it's like 03-10 Bron athleticism then 2011-2018 athleticism

@@masco2483 Yeah I agree, Lebron was his most agile and fastest from 03-10 then 11-18 his Strength and Speed were at the same level. Cause looking at high lights from Lebron’s first Cleveland run, he was noticeably leaner than His Heat years and second run with Cleveland. And He went 0 to 60 in the blink of an eye. Now with the Lakers his Stamina and Speed have declined considerably.
Lebron transition in early years were so much fun to watch... Two arms on shoulders foul and one.
He still outruns most people 20 yrs later, just runs out of gas afterwards 🤯
you must be kidding 2018 was lebron's beast year. full mode king kong
Bro I know mfs in Cleveland was calling this nigga superman in his early years bro was jumping out the mf gym 😭😭🐐
If you look at guys like drose and Westbrook and other guys who have blown their knees out. They land so explosively and hard. While Lebron runs jumps and lands so smooth and soft. Explains his longevity and his ability to not have any serious injuries in 20 years.
They aren't on steroids
Keep in mind Bron is big and 6’9 compared to those guards. Bron also has a tendency to land on both feet as well after big slams, he always made sure he has a clean landing before take off
@Fullmetal you can't actually believe steroids would keep him healthy all these years😂😂
it's the way they move that caused them not the dunks and jumping..look at kyrie having knee problems cause he moves akwardly and fast your knees will give out even though you dont jump so high..Lebron knows how to position himself and has high IQ on defense not jumping all the time and if its a basket he wont do the unecessary things just to play D when u cant do anything anymore with a shot..thats why everybody see him dont play D at times casue he knows already if a play is already made..Kobe is an examp[e also too much rotation on his feet the knees will give up or foot..if u play basketball or any sport u know what im talking about u felt that also hwen u turn ur knees or u make circling movements..
Groin and feet. Feet and knees absorb the shock. These guys play 9 months straight. Wear and tear. Can't take anything away for a man who did this for 20 seasons and won half the time.
He looked like the fastest dude on the floor at 260 in a couple of those clips.
There's a reason they gave him that extra speed boost in 2K13!
The fact will forever remain that he has the S T R O N G E ST left knee/ leg in human history. He ONLY jumps off and lands on that left leg E V E R Y dunk his whole basketball career even since highschool . Astonishing 💪🏽🔥
Lmaaaaào
its ture... like hes a one leg jumper doing that now for 25 years i assume
What an observation. 😮
Yup that's where his spring is
stem cells. It's a shame the FDA will never allow it here. Hopefully soon. People won't need surgery as mush as now.
Without Lebron and curry finals don’t feel the same
That why after round 1 Lakers vs GSW the NBA views goes rapid descent
It's just GREATNESS VS GREATNESS and we take it for granted.
everything changes you need to move on and appreciate something different
Good
Nah we’ve had enough of the warriors 😑😑 rather see more lebron
Man - Im not too sure how many seasons he got in him left, but the time we dont see him do this often will be painful to see.
He's already not doing this often. Lakers LBJ doesn't dunk a lot, and when he does it is mostly uncontested dunks. Still, these dunks when he was with the Cavs, they really were something else. There's not much of body contact, but that's more due to his athleticism than the lack of defensive contest
@LeongGunners False, actually. LeBron has averaged 2 dunks per game throughout his entire career. In 03-04 as a rookie, he went almost 30 games with zero dunks. Last season he dunked in 76% of games compared to 66% his rookie season and this season he has dunked in 86% of game amd is averaging 1.8 per game. So he really hasn't slowed on the dunks as some would have you believing. The guy may not be dunking from the free-throw line with such ease anymore, but look at his best dunks from this season and last season and they look every bit as ferocious as any other season. Obviously the most powerful throw-downs were the Miami days. But his dunks are still some of the meanest in the NBA. And the craziest shit is, he is STILL clearing the entire length of the court in just nine strides, the fewest in the NBA. These are all facts you can easily look up if you're interested in fact checking.
@@LeongGunnersfalse
These highlights are insane you really don’t realize his greatness and physicality until looking at stuff like this
From a #1 draft pick contender to a person getting mentioned in comparisons with Michael Jordan
From a tiny little sperm cell in a random guy’s ballsack to being compared to Michael Jordan. It’s poetry.
He lived up and surpassed the expectations
#1 draft pick contender?? Who did he contend with LOL. He was no doubt #1, and labeled "The Chosen One" Everybody knew he would be an all time great.
@@Swishseb666 That's a lot of pressure on an 18yrs old kid... Very high percentage of players does not live up to the hype. It's not that easy.
@@baldpnoy410 The fact remains though that Lebron was even more of a lock for 1st pick than Wembenyama was this year. There was no "contender" to it.
The funniest part about this is how he got fouled on like 50% of them, and not a single one was called. Lol. So much for the narrative of him “getting every call” like people say.
The reverse dunk at 6:52 was off the meter!....pretty sick!👍👍
@6:29 That was amazing the way RJ stayed with his back to the basket. Knowing Lebron did his job.
That dunk on Andre was crazy
He bullied him.😂

I was just commenting on a video about LeBron’s passing and court vision, showing how different he is offensively from MJ. This is another one with these dunks. This is insane athleticism. Extreme speed, extension, and can get across the court in 12 to 14 steps. All at 6’9 250+ lbs. Even when the play is somewhat falling apart, he takes 2 steps, regains speed, elevates, and throws it down.
LMFAO
My man is 6'9 with 45 inch
Vertical Yet can only pull off 3 different types of dunks
MJ won TWO dunk contests back 2 back
I bet anything if lebron felt like he could win. He would of at least did one dunk contest , but he knows he can't compete with those weak ass 3 dunks , he has 😂😂
Shut that shit down please
Different than mj my ass
Can you imagine this LeBron playing in the 80s and 90s
God wouldn't allow it. He's merciful
He would've got his ass kicked by the Piston Badboys several times a season. He wouldn't have had the chance to do the LeBron flop.

No others players will be like him, Jordan Kobe et Lebron are my GOATs, proud to be able to see them before retirement ! or.. RIP Kobe
I will miss LBJ if he retire.
He is my number one idol in NBA.
If and when he retires from the game of basketball I might be done watching it. I’m old enough that I’ve seen Magic, Jordan, Kobe and Lebron all play live in person. Those are true trendsetters in the game of basketball. I don’t see anyone coming next like these guys. Last of a the dinosaurs
The same is happening in every sport. Football everyone’s on their way out, same with NBA, NHL, baseball, and even music. And weirdly there isn’t really anyone taking the new “top spot”. We’ve just hit a standstill

All of his best dunks he's playing for the Cavs. Never noticed it before.
The feeling of having Lebron as the next person behind in a fast break must be so comforting yet terrifying 😅
I just love how many of these are fouls and he doesn’t get anything. Mans should have had 2x as many free throws in his career as he did

2:09 - He's so fast that it looks like only character is played fast forward
I went to see Lebron in detroit in 2016 with the sole purpose of seeing him dunk in person in a game. Well he had only one chance and was all alone on a breakaway and missed the dunk somehow smh… fast forward to just the other night against the pistons in 2023 , I knew time may be running out to see him again while he’s still able to dunk. Although he’s not dunking as frequently as he used to I still had hope to see at least one. And he had 3 absolutely beautiful dunks. One was a monster 2 handed slam from the side where he slapped the backboard, and the next one was almost identical except he had to double clutch it in mid air, and his final dunk was his signature tomahawk slam on a breakaway! Also AD had about 5 dunks as well and 3 crazy blocks… The night could not have been any better, and it was worth every penny! I encourage anyone that loves basketball and hasn’t seen him play in person yet, to do so soon. Don’t be like me and regret never seeing MJ play in person.
His dunk over jonas valanciunas was the nastiest shit ive ever seen. To me that shit was nastier than the dunk on jason terry.
Sad he didn’t put it in this vid I was expecting to see that one and the one with Brandon knight

Showmanship 💯
That Lebron was last seen in Cleveland. These days, that Lebron shows up here and there, but it use to be all the time. Im 46 and I’ve been saying every since I can remember that NBA players start to lose it around 34. Especially the above the rim action. They can still ball, but you definitely notice a difference from a consistency level.
His one-foot jump is amazing.
Thank You Golden Hoops. Very good 😁 🐐
Top quality video❤
Great vid...hadn't seen a lot of those dunks
Elite Defense from Carmelo at 2:16 LOL.
What most people don’t talk about enough is, Lebron is the pinnacle of inside the paint player. He had beaten all the interior defensive schemes. Unfortunately, we have this 3 shooting era that waters down his dominance. I have been watching the NBA since the late 80’s and I can imagine how Lebron would have destroyed all those sluggish big defenders back then with his knowledge of the game, speed and athleticism. I’m not taking anything away from great defenders back then because they didn’t have to face any one like Lebron and it was a different era but I really can’t think of many guys who could slow Lebron down in the paint. Maybe peaked David Robinson or Hakeem were the only two who had a little chance.
The best clever, and honnest comment i ever read. Thx alot
That JAM off of 2 @6:00 was insane.
this is the greatest video i have ever seen in my life, truly the goat
Man i miss them dunks. Lebron has been my goat since 2003 when i first seen him play. I knew then we were in for one special ride and on god..i got greys now and it was soooo amazing to witness.
Lebrons collection of insane dunks is unmatched. In his prime he was the definition of a dominant athelete.
He was jumping crazy af before he hurt his foot this year craziest one leg take off i ever seen
When LeBron was younger he would not only get his head above the rim, sometimes his chest would be at the rim. His vertical was crazy when he was in his late teens and early 20s. He can still get his head above the rim at 39, but when he was younger, his jumping ability was a sight to see. He did not want to do slam dunk contests, because he prefers to do his dunking in games.
At 1:54, that high vertical. Sheeeesh!
7:07 is so crazy how he caught that and flipped his wrist so fast, even in slow mo it's fast
It’s incredible how talented of a player he is and so ferocious, you see the face of the dude receiving them dunks 😂 and kudos to him on the consistency since the day one, that’s HARD work! The NBA chews out human beings because of how grueling it is to win. Lebron has laid out the blueprint of how to stay Dominant in the league until the end! That Greatness cannot be Denied and it’s what sets him apart from the other great men that played the game of Basketball. Lebron is in his own league! Thanks
Bron' athleticism makes the thumbnail seem highly edited 🤣🍻🍺
6:29 look at Jefferson man, so inspirational..
With his physique, he could play in so many sports and has advantages over most people. I can’t help but imagine if he plays like tennis, martial arts or boxing, rugby, tracks and fields, volleyball, or his second sport, football. With his thirst for knowledge about everything, it would have been interesting to see how well he does for all those sports.
1:06 flew way past around the rim 😲
