You want props for guarding Tony Parker he 6 inches taller then him he should b able to guard him
@@seanhennsey2605 not necessarily, that's a testament to how talented LeBron is an how much of a freak athlete he was. Most people in the NBA today that are above 6'6 can't stick with a quick shifty 6'2 PG. LeBron is 6'9 lol you've seen what Steph Curry at 6'2 does to Forwards and Centers on the switch 🤣
@@de.talemusic yeah but when your taller then somebody your main goal is keep him from the basket and getting pass you you make h have to shoot over you and with the height advantage it makes it extremely difficult
@@seanhennsey2605 I understand what you're trying to say, but doing so on the perimeter and off ball is night and day versus doing so in the paint, speed kills. Especially when your smaller, you can hide behind big men and slip through cracks of the court and through picks to create space.
Shannon says Lebron about championships, now bron knows he cant win a championship With Westbrook , But swear K.D Couldnt Win Without Curry And Warriors , Before K.D Won , K.D Played With Westbrook For The Longest , An Wonder Why K.D Couldnt Win Before K.D Held Too Warriors Cause Warriors Had Called K.D .
I can understand why people say Miami (more consistently great), but honestly what he did with Cleveland in those finals against the Warriors.... I don't think I'll ever see something like that again.
I was just thinking this. From a youthful, physical dominance pov I’d take Miami Bron. But the maturity, IQ, and overall dominance was on a diff level during his 2nd stint w/ Cleveland
People say Miami because he was elite on offense and defense but he also had the most help on both ends he ever had so he could do that. The other teams he had to score more and it hurt his defense at times because he had to pace himself.
Respectable
I never seen anything like it
Skip past Skip parts
They should have asked Skip: "Which version of Lebron have u criticized the most" lol
That’s the right question to ask him😂😂
Definitely Miami Lebron😂
Facts 🤣
Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 right. 💯
Let skip tell it Lebrun got carried in every finals.
Question: “what’s the best version of LeBron?” Skip: “Let me find something negative to say about LeBron instead of answering the question.” Come on Skip…Damn
Lives rent free clearly he’s bothered by Lebron and knows he’s the only threat cuz he doesn’t do this with any other all time great.
Skip playing the Troll role like a classic heel in the early years of the WWE!! Never out of character!!🙄💀

@@jimmyb4361 Not to get political, but it's similar to Democrats hating on Trump, (because they Fear him).
Brings back 2011 everytime...
His 2nd stint in Cleveland going to 4 more finals beating a 73 win squad and really taking his perimeter game to another level not to mention his playmaking actually improved as well.
Lebron choked vs warriors in 3 finals. Kyrie saved Cleveland that 2016 ring 💯💯

2018 LeBron was the best imo, but man those Miami years were my favorite NBA seasons
No argument here
Early 2010s NBA >>>> today
This 💯
Only because his deffense was so much better in Mia but he had 2 amazing finals
Facts
2018 was such a dominant year. Never seen anything like that. Yea he lost to the warriors with KD but that year with that team…. Those shots in the playoffs he was insane.
The cavs were the second worst team in the league the year after he left; that alone says enough
Got to the finals with an old man Kyle Korver, injured Love, Jeff Green, and a fully loaded JR smith. You can’t make this up.
Mans was a deity fr😭😭🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾
Lebron went up against Steph, KD, Klay, and Draymond all in their prime and had a 51 point game to steal game 1. Then JR Smith showed up. Can’t think of another game where the rosters were so lopsided but the game went to OT.
@@ccj1227 he did not win bro what are you talking about lol people lebron lost even tho he got 51.
1st stint-Athletic Peak
Miami-Physical Peak(best version)
2nd stint-Most complete
Laker-Best offensive package
2015-2018 cavs is the best offensive package
@@thegoat170 yea he most complete now fr
And to add on to the current LeBron, it’s also peak iq as well.
@@thegoat170 Naw, his skill over the past 2 years has been better than ever.
2018 is best package
Skip didn't even answer the question 😂😂😂
All Skip had to do was answer the question. That whole explanation wasn’t even needed 😂.
I'm like fam just answer the question! What are we even doing ?😵💫
Skip will not give Lebron his credit 😂😂 that's a damn shame.
Bro I was saying the same thing he can’t give bron credit for anything
I’m still watching but did he ever answer the question?
What’s worse is Shannon didn’t even realize what skip was doing he should e said just answer the damn question he can fool Shannon sometimes because he’s on air but he can’t fool us😂😂
2016-2018 lebron was the most complete basketball player of all time. His experience, IQ, and confidence that he developed in Miami came full circle. In my opinion, if Kyrie and Love didn’t get injured in 2015, and KD didn’t go to the Warriors, he would have won 4 straight championships, he was absurdly dominant in all those playoffs, and no team would beat him and Kyrie. Of course KD did turn those tides tho.
I wouldn’t say he was the most complete ever. He definitely lost a step defensively after the 2016 finals and his shooting was not as good during the miami years. Offensively, he might’ve been at the peaks of his powers in 2018, but I think the efficiency and defense is too much to trade off from his championship years in Miami.
I think he could’ve gotten maybe another chip in 2015, but I don’t think the cavs had a shot of beating anybody from the west in 2018. 2017 would’ve been a toss up considering that the warriors came back healthy and motivated to beat the cavs.
@@orchestrator6808 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
@@orchestrator6808 L take
It’s a stretch to say he would’ve won four straight championships. You don’t know that. It’s a speculative statement driven by fandom.
I think if Kyrie didn't get hurt in 2015 they win and in 2017 and 2018 if the Warriors don't get KD it would be a toss up
That 51 point game 1 loss (Thanks JR), was the best game I’ve ever seen. Absolute masterpiece. I agree with Skip actually, that series when it was just him and Matthew Delavedova was something special, he gave the warriors all they could handle. He lost that series and should have been MVP.
Skip missed the point of the original question. Shannon nailed it! The Miami version of Lebron was better than any other time, because he actually had top-tier defense, whereas the other versions aren't on par with that (save for offense). I do believe he controlled game flow better in his 2nd Cleveland stint, but he wasn't the defender he was in Miami (save for maybe one season in the 2nd cleveland run).
They ask what’s your favorite version and Skip is still finding ways to knock him down 🤦🏾♂️
Skip is such a haterrrr mann it’s getting annoying af 😭😭 nit picking hater doesn’t even answer the question 🤧
Biggest hater
Man I swear.!
It took this man Skip Bayless all the way until 10 minutes and 39 seconds into this video to finally answer the gotdamn question... I swear to you I thought he was going to go the whole video without even answering the question man. 😂 Lol
I wonder if this clown had this type of energy face to face with another one of these grown men he takes cheap shots everyday . I seriously doubt it. Straight clown 🤡
I think he was at his athletic peak in Miami, (never seen that combo of strength, speed, and agility) but as a basketball player, I think his first and second years back in Cleveland were when he was at his best overall player wise
2014-2018 Cleveland Lebron was a mastermind, and he was still physically fit.
I agree completely. He wasn’t at his peak physically when he went back to CLE but he was a better shooter and knew how to control the game mentally
his athletic peak was actually his first stint in Cleveland, his agility, speed and athleticism overall was nothing the nba has ever seen in it's history and there will never be another cyborg with that tenacity every again
What do you mean first and second!? Did you not see what he did in the 2018 playoffs when he dragged that motley retinue to the finals on his back? That was arguably his greatest accomplishment of his career. Even after being swept by golden state.
@My Glxck I literally said wasn’t
First stint in Cleveland: most athletic. Miami: most dominant. Second stint: best Mentally. Lakers: final years
Ill take miami lebron is his flopping pick, lebron pulling flops after flops even in playoffs.. the most memorable is when he flops against tyson Chandler's screen
Easily the second stint in Cleveland, but more specifically the 2017 - 2018 season, ESPECIALLY the playoffs. Lebron was literally in GOD MODE during that time only to get to the finals and have the super team of golden state waiting for you. And he STILL drop 51/8/8 in the first game. With the team he had, he had no business being anywhere near the finals, and to this day I say this, if Cleveland would’ve won that series against golden state, Lebron James would’ve been UNDOUBTEDLY the Greatest player of all time. To face those odds and win??? Crazy times
Even without that 2018 chip. He still the goat. Once he gets the all time scoring record it will be official, no denying even Shaq thinks that
@@austinmiller1625 im a huge lebron fan but idk about that one. he would have to do a lil more than that imo. mj still has more MVPs rings fmvp and also more dpoy more scoring titles and more first team all defense. i think lebron would just need to break the all-time scoring record win an MVP dpoy and another ring and i think he would be the goat then. but i dont think breaking the all-time record only, would make him the goat. but i think that would be all he would need if he had won mvp and the ring in 2018. he was definetly robbed of mvp that year for sure
@@abdullahcisse5004 but Bron gonbe number one that beats everything u just mentioned mj couldn't break Kareems record
@@daae83 true but for the record he played 15 years. And Lebron at the end of his 15th season played more games and minutes and still did not have more points than mj
Skip Bayless has NEVER had kind words for James! He uses "BUT" a lot when talking about Lebron.
He literally says he is the best driver of the basketball he has ever seen, but because you are a typical Bronsexual, you get in your feelings and don't listen logically.
Skip past Skip
Yes he has he always says he's still the face of the league and the best passer still
@@diegochavez6203 that's not saying much compared to the constant negative things
@@diegochavez6203 ... still the face of the league and the best passer still ..."BUT"
LeBron’s first years with Cleveland was my favorite. You could tell he was different and made for the nba. His chemistry with his team was incredible to watch. He had nothing but a bunch of nobodies and they put in a lot of work. He seemed to more fun with that team on the court. The maturity he developed later on was necessary but I liked everything he did before that development took place.
Gotta agree with ya. His 1st stint in Cleveland was my favorite as well. I wish he would never have left Cleveland though. I don't hate LeBron like so many others seem to
@@chucktaylor2172 Lebron won’t be taken seriously by many until he retires from the game.
Tbh I liked this lebron too but the nba was not as good as it was when he left Cleveland the 1st time in the 2010s the nba didn’t just have lakers and Celtics and spurs being favorites all the time
@@mariomarcos2148 you crazy a.i, tmac, Duncan, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, dirk, yao, pistons, wade, cp3, kobe, Gilbert arenas, melo, Paul pierce
Joe Johnson, amare stoudemire, kg, Chauncey billups, plenty of talent bro
I personally think the 4 versions have different levels of importance: 1st time in Cleveland - he proved he was different from everybody else. The ability to make those sorry teams competitive was impressive. Miami - he tasted REAL winning and was having fun while doing it. Most importantly, he learned how to win. Return to Cleveland - strictly business and he was on a mission. He wanted to finish what he started and did it in style. Tell me that there's no NBA player who does not want to win a Championship in his hometown!. LA - just a bonus. Dude has nothing more to prove, he's right there with the best of them.
real af
2018 LEBRON was the greatest basketball player I ever saw. It’s was like watching one man destroy the entire league. 1 vs 5 and they still couldn’t stop him.
Honestly, the best I’ve ever seen LBJ is when he returned to Cleveland. You can’t ignore his meltdown in the finals his first season in Miami, and then again against the Spurs his last season in Miami, and we all know what the Lakers have been… He looked like a machine going up against the Warriors while in Cleveland, he reminded me of MJ in terms of complete control, confidence, and knowing exactly what to do for his team to succeed, and this was against a true super team 💯
What meltdown against the spurs????
@@redboy09100 2014 when he got locked up against Kawhii not to be completely honest that spurs team is a top 5 team of all time Jordan never had to face a team as good as the warriors and the spurs but in 2014 he lost fair and square
@@jaywbell2002 kwhai did a good job but as a team the spurs didn’t stop lebron. He averaged 28 and most of the time sat out at the end because they were losing so bad. Bosh and Wade were the downfall of that series just like it was lebron in 2011
Lol obv the Mavs series was a meltdown but Bron did all he could in that Spurs series
@@jaywbell2002 people really just look at kawhii winning finals mvp and think LeBron got locked up. LeBron averaged 28 ppg that series. Absolutely was not a meltdown
I’m going to take those first couple years in the 2nd stint in Cleveland. Felt like his basketball IQ and facilitating matched his elite athleticism. I’ve never seen a more dynamic offensive force than those couple years.
So you’ve never seen or heard about Jordan? The man that averaged 30pts for his career. (It’s not all about scoring) but a 10 time leading scorer, one of the best defenders for his size! Teams came up with dirty rules just to stop him. Every play they knew that ball would be in his hands… that right there is pressure and he rose above all. MJ is better than Cleveland LeBron hands down. (NOT SAYING U SAID LBJ IS BETTER) but it sounds like u think so lol
@@Kay_Locc classic mj stan 🤣🤣🤣
@@evo_mike9523 lol jj barea is brons dad and u think he’s better than MJ. U don’t know basketball
You praising a mf who lost 6 finals 🤣🤣 how tf is he better than a mf whon WON 6 finals. Then yall say “he made it there 10 times” I never saw anyone praised for losing finals other than LeFraud
@@Kay_Locc So LeBron played one on one against JJ Barea?
Easily 2018 Playoff Bron is the greatest ever. Never seen a greater basketball player in my life than that Lebron
Skip literally says the SAME thing for years & we let him get away with it
When ever Skip talks about 2013 and tries to discredit LeBron he never brings up that the Heat were down huge in the 4th and LeBron scored 16 points in the 4th quarter to bring them back. Without that the Heat lose. But all you hear is that he missed a 3.
Skips logic is Lebron has to score every point while serving the crowd drinks or he got bailed out.
Forget all that it was simple question with 4 choices just pick one and explain why like Shannon did, but of Skip nitpicks games and quarters.
@@kb4231 seriously!😂 I was looking for this comment. Skip made this one hard to watch
He missed the clutch shot, it’s a different feel. Anyone who plays sports knows that.
Skkkip isn’t a respected or credible voice do his opinions don’t matter.
Shannon carries him and saved his legacy
That 2018 Bron was something out of this planet 😭☹️ but in all honesty dude has been great for over a decade now, since he entered the league he’s been a model of consistency, his efficiency is unreal, he’s had some bad moments but for a nearly 20 year career he’s being nothing short of spectacular.
If he wins the title in 2018, dude would have easily taken the top spot from MJ as the 🐐. It was sad to have to watch such an epic playoff run of performances go to waste. That team had no business being in the finals lol
2018 lebron got swept in the finals

2013 Miami and 2018 Cleveland LeBron was the best versions of him that I've seen. Arguably the most incredible individual Regular season/Post season runs I've ever witnessed.
It was a simple question which version of LeBron James was the best ever his first stint in Cleveland or Miami, his second stint in Cleveland or is it now in LA. The level of hate this man shows for LeBron James is staggering

Bron was his MOST confident in his 2nd stint in Cleveland was his most confident. He was able to learn from his failures and weaknesses from his first 12 years and turned them into strengths . It was WILD to watch him lead them to the finals 4 straight years with that team. And it literally took One of the Greatest All around Teams AND a Top 15 all time player to knock him off.
Correct
Yes! Cleveland 2.0 LeBron was unstoppable and mesmerizing to watch.
The scoring numbers he put up in the playoffs around that time can only be rivaled by MJ.
Bruh he had wade and bosh cmon now
@@YounginBallin More like Wade and Bosh had Lebron. He was easily the best player and he saved them in a lot of those elimination games.
2018 LeBron was the ultimate prime LeBron. So the cavs second stint is his best
I urge people to look at the 2018 playoff run. The power / speed / scoring and playmaking was all time
When he came back to Cleveland, that was ultimate LeBron. He had everything
I remember watching 2018 Lebron, and thinking this is the best basketball player I ever seen.
He's 2nd stint in Cleveland was just jaw-dropping but I agree Miami LeBron was something else🙈👀🤷♂️
Bron athletically in Miami was the best. What the dude did though in his 4 years in his second stint in Cleveland is the best. He single handedly carried mediocre teams to the Finals and then won one against an all time great team.
2nd stint in Cleveland was his best. It’s when he finally started playing like he believed 100% in the idea that he was the best player in the world. I can’t stand Lebron-but even I can’t deny the confidence he had during that stint.

Facts!
And that's why Skip is pathetic.
His last 2 years in Cleveland were where I can state him to be true one-man army. He may have given up defense over time & purposely to allow more of his teammates to get involved & most importantly avoid injuries if necessary, but can still defend like all the elites if he has to.
I’ve witnessed Lebron’s entire career! His athletic ability is just legendary. To have played this long and consistent is simply incredible. For 20 years he’s been Great! When he’s done playing, I’m going to miss watching him play! It doesn’t matter who you call the “GOAT” Lebron is one of them!
🏆🏆🏆🏆
lmao 🤣
It's called HGH lady and lots of p.e
D.s that untraced . Don't get me wrong he's also put in all the work but the recovery and not getting injured..
@Jugger Not🔧 if I had to say, I would say Miami Heat Bron cause he was in his prime and played more defensive! Bron would chase you down then… in year 20 that’s not a realistic expectation but his consistency in scoring and playing offensive basketball is incredible. His greatest championship was without question Cleveland Bron! 💯
@@QueenOfTopicsTv LeBron can still play d 2020 finals was testament to that sadly he's only serious about it in playoffs/finals
@@ogstreet2390 as he should! Lebron is aging out! Athletically… yes he can still play defense but he shouldn’t have to with players in their prime like AD! So reserving his body for playoffs makes sense! Why get banged up and bruised for a team not serious about playoffs or going into playoffs! That makes zero sense! Lebron is playing full games! In year 20 he shouldn’t have to! Of course he can play defense but that’s not a realistic expectation.
Bron is an incredible basketball player all round 🙏🏾
Bron garbage 🗑 he miss the playoffs this year
I swear to God Skip clings to that "Baby Thunder" like a baby to his binky. KD was in his 5th yr coming off his 3rd straight scoring title amd was runner up MVP. Russ was a 20+ppg multiple time all star. Harden was 6MOY. Ibaka was runner up DPOY and led the league in blocks. The same Thunder team was in the conf finals the year before vs Dallas.
Yes, that OKC team was Legit for a young team! But even though they were young, they were experienced and successful, (not to mention Talented!) So i don't want to hear that "Baby Thunder" BS.
The second stint in Cleveland was a different animal. Lebron turned from pure animal to being more methodical. His passing, shooting, vision, was crazy.

Actually I agree with Skip. 2nd stint in Cleveland is the best. For me 2017-18 season and especially playoffs Bron was absolutely superhuman.
You’ve got to go with his second stint in Cleveland. The guy averaged a near 35 point triple double across four straight NBA finals. If Kyrie and Love weren’t injured in the first one and obviously Durant doesn’t join GS then he could have won all those finals and people would have him about as close to MJ as you can get. But win or lose he was phenomenal in those four straight finals.
That second stint with Cleveland was the best version of Bron. Golden State brought out the best in him. He hit the peak of his powers then.

Best version of LeBron is a tie between Miami and his 2nd stint in Cleveland. Physically LeBron was at his best in Miami. However LeBron became the most well rounded elite player in Cleveland during his 2nd stint.
2012 - Game 6 against Celtics- 45 points and 15 rebounds, when his legacy was on the line 🔥🔥🔥
Skip will bring up 2011 like Lebron didn’t become the best version of himself after that winning MVP and Finals MVP back to back years. He turned his biggest failure into his greatest all around form and hates it.
Facts!!!
If that was Jordan, he would give Jordan his credit
Yes, and i hate the double standards expressed by people like SKip. Steve Kerr and John Paxson helped MJ win alot of games and Rings. If Lebron has help the narrative is (He was bailed out by Ray Allen & Kyrie Irving). Unreal, and unfair! It's a TEAM SPORT, and alot of these Championship teams Lebron was on would never win without his massive contributions!
His peak was Miami. He won more chips and that's when he started to be recognized as the best player in the world at that time.
I think he won because he stacked the deck.
He truly had to lead when he gor back to Cleveland and produced the greatest comeback in nba history.
He was a floor general in Cleveland and kept those Miami stats despite not having nearly the same talent around him
His 2016 yr was overshadowed by what the dubs were doing in the Bay, but that was his best yr......to me anyway!!!
He was the best player b4 Miami and he already had 2 MCSO
Mvps
Not true there were arguments over lebron vs kobe as the best player in those last years in the first Cleveland stint
The 2nd stint in Cleveland...that 2016 season and the finals last 3 games were something I don't think we will ever see again
His first 2 years in his second stint in Cleveland was just crazy because of how much better of a shooter he became.
Miami no doubt his absolute prime both ends
EVERY version of Lebron is GREAT ..
highschool was great, all through the NBA is great ... and "beyond that" will ALSO be great.
He cant act that well so i dont think so
@@leroyrichards2747
for someone who is NOT an actor, he did pretty good in ALL 3 movies.
in my first thread, when i used the TERM >"beyond that"< i was actually referring to AFTER retiring from the NBA ..
i have NO doubt, that Lebron will be a great NBA team owner, after he retires.
2018 Lebron was an absolute beast. His gamewinner against the First Round Pacers, his contested fadeaway shots against LeBronto, his contested back-to-back threes against the Celtics, and playing a near immaculate game 1 against the Warriors as a one-man show absolutely highlighted his abilities in all facets of the court. Of course, his defense wasn’t perfect, but his offensive arsenal was at its peak for sure.
no matter the topic, skip always delivers his classics
2013 Miami made me a believer
I think its his second stint with Cleveland. Miami he was good after a rough start but when he went back to cleveland and those performances he put forth...never seen anyone else even come close to doing what he did.
I’m a Heat fan and I’m going with the 2nd stint Cavs Lebron. He had everything figured out by then due to everything he learned in Miami, and the only reason he wasn’t as dominant defensively is because he had so many more responsibilities leading a team that although they were talented, they had no championship pedigree. In Miami we had the infrastructure and defensive philosophies already in place for Lebron to step in and do his thing. So it’s 2nd stint Lebron for me
Cavs(2015-2018) he was a monster. I'm not a big fan of lbj but he was a complete package on those years
2018 and its no debate. Average damn near a 40 point triple double in the finals is something straight out of 2k. Never seen something like that.
And got humiliated in the finals by KD. Give me heat Lebron.
@@dpistons149 how was he humiliated? Just curious.
@@user-pg9um1te7q maybe because they 🧹 him
@@dpistons149 humiliated? Not at all. Warriors humiliated Cavs, Durant didn't humiliate LeBron.
2018 lebron got swept in the finals
The best bron was the second stint w the cavs 15-18
He got destroyed by warriors in the finals
@@juwantaylor5293 s m d
2018 game 1 of the Finals is the greatest individual game I have ever seen from a player.
Why am I not surprised that Skip opens up by mentioning the 2011 Mavs series.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gimme second stint in Cleveland 🤷🏾♂️
with all due respect, but how can they NOT mention that entire 2018 playoffs run, especially the series vs boston when they are talking about the 2012 series vs boston. that year alone makes his second stint in cleveland the best increment of his career, with the chip in '16 as the cherry on top.
Because lebron got swept in 2018 finals
@@juwantaylor5293 no shame seeing that Cavs teams had no business even being in the finals against the cheat code warriors
@@LordBranniganThe cheat code warriors? 😆 🤣 😂
@@LordBranniganThe cavs did had business being there it just lebron choked

I agree with Skip for once. 2nd time in Cleveland was the best LeBron. They only lost when Kyrie and Love were hurt and then to the KD Warriors. Draymond came out and said recently that they needed KD to beat the Cavs and I have to assume it would’ve been the same the first year if the Cavs had their 2nd and 3rd best players.
Skip and Shannon are just amusing and at the same time entertaining to watch! I love them both!❤️🔥💯
This really shows skips is a hater this dude don’t stop 😂
I don’t blame him for real because this how he makes his money😂😂
Dude was born to hate lebron
Skip shamelessly cherry picks stats … only dude who can take a few games out of multiple seasons and try to sell that sh*t as the norm 🤷🏾♂️..
fr how does bro know all these exact games
2013 for me, lebron's jumper was money and he could and was guarding 1-5, that might be the best player in nba history, he was absolutely amazing in the finals
Miami LeBron was good. But that 2011 finals kind of hurt really bad. The 2nd stint with Cavs is probably the best. Specially the 2018 finals. Where he literally did it all and almost beat a team with 4 HOF all in their prime in game 1 ! Man that 2018 LeBron was something else.
Skip says baby thunder but that baby thunder beat his spurs 4-2 in the conference finals 🤣🤣
I don’t think it’s possible for Skip to pick a best version of Lebron. “he’s the phony goat. 4-6 will never beat 6 for 6. You know it and I know it!”
I like Skip but he never responded to the question... for me I liked watching the 2007-2010 Bron but the 4 years in Miami were his peak especially because of the defensive end with chase down blocks, extended shooting range, and more aggressive play with the ball.
Miami LeBron was his physical peak. But I think 2018 LeBron was the absolute peak of his game from all aspects. He wasn’t just dominating physically, he was doing it mentally. He didn’t have a choice bc Kyrie was gone. That 2018 playoff run was incredible to watch. I didn’t think he’d get out of the 1st round vs Indiana and he somehow got to the Finals. And he was in a different mode Game 1 of the Finals
Why does skip always forget this is a TEAM sport? Why he always act like MJ went 1v9. Like bro his logic is so bad and biased
And always brings up the Ray Allen shot but doesn’t bring up Steve Kerr’s shot in the 97 finals to give Michael his sixth ring
@@MichelleJ79 Kerr and Allen were completely different situations tho. Kerr didn't save any series. Kerr's shot didn't come off a MJ miss. Besides Lebron's miss, Lebron didn't really have anything to do with Allen hitting his shot. And '97 was MJ's 5th. 6th was the shot over Byron Russell. Skip for sure the biggest Lebron hater tho for rehashing Lebron's failures instead of just answering the damn question on which stint was Lebron's best.
2nd Time around Bron was the most dominant
No..he got destroyed by warriors
Does anyone notice how skip ignored the entire question and bashed him for some of his moments
Idk why but I always loved bron in Cleveland the first time especially around 2007-2010. Ridiculously athletic and when his jumpshot was on it was wild to watch
Skip such a hater he couldn't even answer the question..
It’s all for ratings
Everyone has a role in this show Shannon has his and Skip has his
2013, Kawhi choke one of his free throws that could've made it 4 point lead instead of a 3 point lead, which lead to Ray Allen tying 3 pointer...
Bro the question was “which Lebron would you pick” and Skip chose to bring up every flaw of each Lebron 🤦🏾♂️ like come on bro
My favorite version of LeBron was in Miami he was so good on the defensive end and on offense.
Jeani Taft is not fired she has been on maternity leave in February… she signed an extension this year 2022 but is on maternity leave ready for her to come back
2016-2018 bron is the best player I’ve ever seen live 💯
He got destroyed by warriors
LeBron in every single jersey he has been he has had just historic numbers and moments. From the moment he stepped in the NBA he just was the best
In his first stint with Cleveland, LeBron was the most athletic player to ever touch the floor. In Miami, his athleticism slightly declined, but he improved his shooting and had his best team overall. In his second stint in Cleveland, he preserved his athleticism by optimizing his training and his IQ shot to another level. Now he's on the Laker's and what he's doing just does't make sense anymore. Guys unreal.
I’m goin 2018 bron tho carrying that sorry Cavs team back to the finals and playing the single greatest game I ever seen dropping 51 on the KD steph warriors almost stealing game 1 one of the single greatest seasons of all time not to mention the other 3 years in that stint
Those shots he hit in Toronto were unbelievable
His second stint in Cleveland was the perfect combo’ of athleticism & IQ.
" LBJ told spurs you not drinking champagne 🍾 on my court " 😅 lol
When Lebron got that cavs jersey on he got extra super powers
