2018 bron was one of the best basketball players that ive ever seen in my lifetime he looked legit unstoppable in that playoff run
Oh please
It was one player going 1-on-5 just to make us pretend to care about Cavs vs Warriors part infinity
But got stopped. Bron is one of a kind for real but not even he cant take on 5 NBA players on a finals team
The most impressive thing to me is I never heard LeBron complain once about his situation in 2018, he just was hooping like there’s no tomorrow I’m proud of him.
Mann the conversations at the lunch table in highschool throughout that entire month. Good times..
@@El.Nigga. nah rs those debates were elite
2018 Lebron was a different animal. He had the killer instinct and was clutch as hell. He was the most dominant player on the court during the playoff series
Against the Baby Raptors, I'd sure hope so. Roy Hibbert was dominant in that conference at one point, nuff said 🤣 context matters, learn about it
@@jansmitowiczauthor78 that baby raptors were beating playoff seeded teams in the west but go ahead man.
Lebron was so dominant his ass got SWEPT in the Finals.
@@jansmitowiczauthor78 The raptors were the No.1 seed in the east that time. I remember former raptors player Valanciunas saying "We lost but it wasn't anything of the basketball stuff". What he meant was that Bron owned that raptors team mentally because they could've won if they actually pick up their slack since on paper, they were the better team than the cavs but none of them were better than Bron...Can you imagine beating a team mentally? Only true legends with killer mentally can do that like Jordan, Kobe and Bird. The 2018 raptors mentally boomed against Bron and got swept soundly especially losing both home games plus losing in game 3 from a dagger running bank shot from Bron which took their lives and souls. They were already traumatized for losing against Bron for 2 straight playoffs back in 2016 and 2017. 2018 Bron was a different beast. The warriors were stack with 4 all stars but Bron alone nearly won 1 game from them...Damn...
@@GreenEnvy. Against 4 all stars, yeah...he got swept...
The Kyrie situation was the Scottie Pippen situation but it actually happened.
Lol facts. Cant believe Cleveland actually went thru with it.
What was the Scottie situation?
@@jamesjohnson1167Scottie Pippen potentially leaving the Jordan bulls
I’d ask out too if Bron tried to trade me for cp0.
kyrie one of the most skilled players ever, has made some of the most annoying decisions throughout his career, for the nba fans
It still amazes me how bron could carry that team to a finals run
2001 ai and 2006 Kobe also a carrying job
Hakeem too
@@jomarigaa3300 not to this level. ai had defense with him. kobe in 06 teammates werent this bad,
@@ubadman1 the 2006 season the west is so stacked that's still impressive to carry that team
@@jomarigaa3300 This team was worse than any of them. All a bunch of one dimensional role players who play zero defense.
11:18 LeBron walking out with his bag and those little ass shorts while putting on the shades will FOREVER be one of my favorite basketball moments 😭💀. Absolutely hilarious 😂
Lmaoooooooo agreed. Goated but funny moment
LeSuits 🤣🤣🤣
It’s crazy. This man was basically able to stand up to the best team ever with a bunch of underperforming role players. The stat lines look like my career.
Got swept though
@@joshuaconniff7712 That is a factually correct statement.
@@joshuaconniff7712 Got swept by 4 all stars...sure you're right...
@@joshuaconniff7712 yea with no help and against the best team ever assembled
@@renzrovira5707 bruh people just cant admit that Steph is better than bron. Mister Triple-Single and Klay Thompson are highly overrated players bro they literally can only exist with steph. Durant is a true all-star and the ONLY one Steph has ever played with. Bronny has played with at least 10 all-star caliber players in his career
Stars can lead a team. Klay could NEVER have been the best player on a team which is the very definition of ALL-star. Klay isnt even a regular star hes a high quality starting caliber role player. Typical 3 and D guy but he was really good in his role
Durant was only there for 2 finals runs. Steph has been carrying a team of role players pretty for his entire career
Merry Christmas everyone 🙏🏽
I love this series, comment what team y’all would want next!
2014-2015 clippers or warriors!
the 2014 pacers. paul george was on his way to being one of the greatest players of all time
How about some '80s - '90s teams like the pre-Tim Duncan Spurs (the ones with David Robinson as the lead) or the Charles Barkley Sixers?
2019 Raptors? 2020 heat?
2019 raptors.
The 2nd stint with the Cavs was hands down the best version Lebron. In addition to dragging this team to the finals on his own he was also still in his physical prime (completely taking over games at will) AND he was the smartest man on the court, using his IQ to slice up team’s defenses with ease. It was truly a marvel to witness.
Lebron played a damn near perfect game in game 1 of the finals and basically single handedly put his team in a position to win. He showed that it was POSSIBLE to beat the warriors if he played absolutely perfectly, and JR Smith threw it all away. Lebron has us all believing, and I truly believe the cavs could’ve pulled out the championship if they closed that first game. I’ll never forgive jr smith for that one
Refs and George hill were the real reason they lost
Nah, even if they win game 1 they probably just get a gentleman's sweep. You smoking something different if you think there is any chance he is able to win that series
Absolutely. The Warriors just clawed their way back from near elimination by the Rockets and wouldn't have been in the Finals at all had the Rockets not missed, what, 27 straight 3 point shots? The Warriors had their identity shattered, meanwhile Cleveland had solidified in the playoffs. They gained more confidence and court presence with each win. LeBron was carrying, but you could see the other guys growing too. If they toppled the Warriors in game 1 it would have exacerbated those trends. The Warriors locker room would've turned toxic. The players' confidence would've continued to drop. But Cleveland would've continued to strengthen and pull together and believe that they belonged in the Finals. Very likely could've gone different.
I used to be mad at him for it, but tbh, I don't think they had a chance either way. Plus, after JR Smith's heroics in their title win game 7 and beyond, you gotta appreciate the greatness that he brought to the team even with that one mind boggling play
they still had a chance to win in OT, but LeBron literally quit on the team. don't blame JR when Bron still had a chance to will his team to a win.
There is no other player I would take over 2018 playoff LeBron in NBA history
Lmao. Kawhi’s 2019>>>
2013 LeBron clears imo he was balling out of his mind Finals game 6 and hit the dagger in game 7. 2013 LeBron was also peak defense LeBron
@@theprocesssshell no
@@fucksake7076lebron was better than all of em. Those guys had team advantages against their opponents. Lebron was beating those teams mostly by himself.
@@ACLA23 oladeepthroat, the craptors and the Celtics w their 2 best players injured. What a GAUNTLET!!! Then got swept in the finals. At least get one.
I love the shot of Bron dapping up the Warriors in Game 4. Bro dead ass looks like he prefers Steph and KD more than his own teammates.
2018 LBJ was the greatest playoff run I’ve ever seen.
Lebron's ass got SWEPT.
@@GreenEnvy. Got swept by 4 all stars... yeah...
Just skip forward one year and Kawhi did it against better teams whilst getting the job done
@@renzrovira5707 almost lost against oladipo and should've lost had they called a goaltend at the end of game 7, realistically he would've lost against any team in the west playoffs
@@Monkey-. u do realize kawhi had a better supporting cast that wasn’t even close to being a carry job. He was the best player no doubt but you give him way too much credit
“Jordan Clarkson without the VC” 😂😂😂
Boooooy that shit made me choke fam 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂☠️
This is what people always forget when they trash lebrons finals record. No other player in NBA history would have gotten the teams he's been on to the finals, period.
lmao it’s so crazy that finals record wasn’t even a thing until bron started breaking records and inching his way closer to goat status. mfs only bring up finals record when it comes to LBJ. bron could be 4-0 if he got knocked out in the first round all them years like mj did. but instead he took teams that had no business being in the playoffs to the finals which is why his finals record is the way it is. the only finals loss u can blame him for is 2011 and if u blame him for any of the other ones then ur just a flat out hater💯
Which teams? 2 teams? 07 and 18? Cause LeBron was either favored or a top team the rest of the times. The East was weaker in his era btw. A LOT WEAKER.
Look at who Iverson took to the Finals. Jason Kidd. There are others.
This is what LeBron fans always forget- STANDARDS. Weaker East. Stacking the deck with All-Stars. They act like LeBron was with trash the whole time and we should CREDIT HIS LOSSES AS WINS. Your STANDARDS ARE SO LOW.
His finals record is right to be trashed. If his team was in the west he wouldn’t make the finals, and at this point he’s had more help in his career than not. Look at all of his hall of fame teammates and the age they joined him in. Give Dirk, Kobe, Hakeem, any other comparable player his teammates.
@@VVVY777 lebron was not favored to win in every one of his finals
@@adamfeliciano6321 Dirk and kobe had hofers as well....
and the crazy thing is, cleveland treated him the same way they did when he left the first time. bron put everything he had into that organization man
lol no, lebron fans like to dickride him and act like he wasn’t the guy who called the shots and made those trades. he put himself in that position lol, lebron did it to himself
@@whywhere1768 first off, im not a lebron james fan. you assume that because you just choose to hate him for no reason when actual fans of the nba tend to be unbiased and enjoys basketball for what it is; basketball.
secondly, you’re genuinely stupid if you think lebron james makes trades happen lol. here’s the thing; star players of today have leverage. the greater you are as a player, the more pressure an organization feels to make sure you’re happy in your situation. players cannot force a GM to make trades dumbass, the player can use their leverage to put pressure on the GM to surround him with adequate help. i don’t get why bron haters think he’s making moves like he’s some evil genius, that’s so dumb😂 he either advocates for a player who would fit or the team shoots out a trade and sees how he would like it considering he’s the best player on the team
we’ve literally just seen this when KD & kyrie used their leverage to get james harden & thought they were the leaders in the front office. but nooooo, “leGM made his situation worse 🤓”
literally just toxic and dumb for no reason other then to hate on lebron lol
Never forget they could've paired him with Paul George
That team probably could've made for a crazy finals
10:53 that press conference man am surprised Bron didn’t lose it on him 🤣
That 2018 playoffs run is the greatest consistent basketball from any basketball player that I’ve ever watched.
I always imagine what it would be like if LeBron actually hit another buzzer beater at the end of Game 1 in the Finals.
He was in full rhythm imagine if JR passed it out
Woulda been so crazy. But they prolly woulda lost 4-1 anyways, it was just the most uneven matchup you could imagine.
@@OhShootKidstill better than getting 4-0
Happy holidays SWISH. That playoff run was one of the greatest I’ve ever witnessed
LeBron’s 2018 playoff run was a big waste of our time.
All this just to basically give us a boring finals rerun
Cleveland would have been bette off losing to indiana and saving us the inevitability of a Fourth straight rerun.
But hey, at least Cleveland got extra playoff revenue
@@chrisuncleahmad So its better to lose in the first round than in the finals? Lol
@@BeginnerHoops exactly
@@marlonalatiit1609 for fans I guess but as a team nah
@@BeginnerHoops hell yeah its better to lose in the 1st round. Doesnt sting as much as being that close to winning it all.
I saw that game 1 GSW v Cavs live. I just teared when JR Smith ran the ball, I knew it was over when that happened.
I just refused to watch it because I thought the cavs were gonna lose by 50 and I didn't want to get mad, but I woke up the next morning saw the memes and the stats and was like FUCK.. LeBron had 51 and they lost.. hol up how did they lose??.. JRRRRRR😂😂
Happy holidays swish and need more of the never forget videos go further back in basketball history
2018 Cavs really are a very interesting team to look back and analyze historically. Great breakdown video man
Out of all the nba games I’ve missed, I’m very glad to have witnessed Lebron in this playoff run
Love this types of vids man. Merry Christmas SWISH.
Been waiting on this one for a few weeks now Swish. Definitely didn’t disappoint bro. It’s a crime LeBron didn’t have a legit #2 the way he played in ‘18 wish him and Ky could’ve played together this season
If he would’ve had a fraudulent #2 he would’ve won, buddy was out there by himself.
2018 LeBron is my favorite I remember I saw all 3 rounds of the Cavs live. And LeBron just played amazing man put the whole team on his back
This guy really making documentary quality videos on the regular! Absolute dub, love the content!
Excellent video Swish, Merry Christmas to you and Yours ❤
After game 1 of the finals Lebron completely mentally checked out... if George Hill had hit even 1 free throw or JR could remember the score I swear man it would have been different. That dude willed an entire team to OT against the Warriors w KD in the Finals basically by himself. Who's to say what could have happened if they won game 1? My hottest "what-if" take
You mean he quit after regulation in game 1. No props for quitting on your team regardless of the obstacles.
Bron literally gave up in OT. How do y’all people honor quitters? That shit is mind blowing
@@kevmersa6578 jordan quitted the bulls, Kobe almost did.
@@No_Iceee Yawns 🥱
@@kevmersa6578 lol y’all love talking shit then get quiet when proven wrong
I wanted this team to work so bad, I remember I waited months for Isaiah to come back just for it to fall apart so quickly. IT is my favorite player to this day despite not being in the NBA anymore , and those first two games when he came back were magical. It's a real shame he never quite recovered from his hip injury (which he held while playing in the previous playoffs) and rushed things to play for the Cavs.
Love the video, the Cole beats in the background are amazing
Happy Christmas Swishout, been rocking with you since the start 💪💪
2018 LeBron is the only time and season I’ve considered LeBron being better than Jordan. I’m a huge MJ fan, but what LeBron did was crazy. That showed what LeBron looked like at his absolute peak. Nothing but respect for him.
Appreciate you acknowledging greatness
Worst finals team of all time. Not a starting caliber guy on that roster. All one dimensional role players or backup level guys.
Terry Rozier’s 0-10 from 3 in game 7 is ingrained in my mind
That lebron meme at JR was legendary. But the scene on the bench is when he checked out. That and Perkin running his mouth
I love Bron, but this was the team my Rockets were supposed to face in the finals until CP3 went down…
The 2018 Cavs were proof that sometimes I > Team

Gordon Hayward’s injury still makes me wanna cry. I’m not a Celtics fan at all but holy fuck. Gordon was amazing and only getting better. He was starting to be a top 10 player than the fucking injury happened. I think he’s still great but damn. His prime was cut short.
Top 10? Nah thats too much.
But yeah hayward could had help the c's eventually win the east once lebron departed
He should have drank more milk, the injury was avoidable.
@@cdeleon3494 didn’t say he was too 10 but he was getting there and definitely almost there. I’d say he was definitely a top 15 player and was just there into the top 10 still getting better every month before the injury happened. I think he definitely could of been.
@@ethanporto1745 bro top 10 is reserved for players like Dame Lillard, Jimmy Butler, Tatum, Durant etc.
Not for Gordon Haywards of the world
amazing video!
Happy Holidays Swish🎄🎁❄️
I always thought taking that 2018 team to the finals was LBJ's most impressive accomplishment.
After that Game 1 loss of 2018 finals, LeBron turned off God Mode. He was still good but you can see the Fire was extinguished.
To me, it was sad. When someone you consider a Hero as a kid realized that he can't do much more.
3-6 is no hero. (no bubble rings)
@@GreenEnvy. I see you already 3 times... Sure it's okay to hate....yeah....
@@GreenEnvy. then joining a 73 win team shouldn’t be a ring either
@@GreenEnvy. what you say doesn't matter. He won 4 rings by the NBA's rules. Bubble or no bubble, LeBron has 4 championships. No point in you crying about something you can't change. Accept it for what it is.

Best NBA comentary channel ❤
The 1 train beat🔥🔥🔥 also that 2018 Cavs team was hella depressing for us in Cleveland smh.
I closed my eyes when gordan Hayward started to drive then u said don’t worry I won’t show it 😭
The playoff run that made me have so much respect for Bron
This man swish don’t miss
Merry Christmas Swish 🎄🎁
2018 LeBron was literally the one we saw during 2009. He also faced a dynasty too.
We never forget!!! Peak LeBron right there!!
the pacers (2018) vs bron was a time in life I wanna go back to and rip to Rozen x Lowery
This is my fav version of Bron ever this the season that made me respect Bron the most he did the incredible every series and whats crazy he didnt win a ring but mann did he played his heart out
2018 LeBron was literally Thanos and it took an Avengers Like GSW team to overcome him. When people question LeBron’s greatness I simply point to the KG Celtics and KD Warriors as proof to just how dominate that dude is.
Jordan Clarkson without the vs is crazy 😂
"Did you know if he knew the score...?"
Gets me every time LOL.
That game 7 against Boston is one of my favorite NBA games ever, and that whole series is one of my favorite as well. 2018 Bron is easily a top 2 LeBron season
I don’t think people realize the cavs were up 2-0 and would have potentially lost the series also up 3-2 but bron stepped up and carried his team.
Just shows how much weaker the eastern conference was
Cavs would’ve been out in the first round in the west that year
Jordan would not have been able to get this team past the 2nd round. 2018 Kevin Love was good, but that was it. IT, and Crowder were horrible teammates due to them hating the Cavs and ruined the locker room. Basically forced themselves to be traded a few months in and the Cavs didnt get much back except some role players in the Kyrie Deal. Rose went MIA after a few weeks and left the team. Wade forced a trade back to Miami. LeBron and Kevin got this team of Geroge Hill, Cedi Osman, Rodney Hood, Antez Zinic, Triston Thompson, JR Smith, Larry Nance JR, and young Jordan Clarkson to the finals, all for Hill and JR to blow it and ruin any chance of winning.
the j cole beats in the back, gotta love it
The 1train beat in the background 🔥🔥🔥
Ppl think Kyrie just flipped on Bron. But let's not forget the reports that the Cavs were heavily considering trading Kyrie that same off-season. Instead of getting traded to a random team he went on the offensive and forced them to trade him to a team that was good and not the Suns
Anyone else just see the interview where JR Smith came up with a new story about the final play?
Honestly watching this season in real time was even more insane. Kyrie requested a trade from the Cavs and many thought he was crazy. They came into the season with a decent roster and many forgot they went on a 13 game win streak and then Isaiah came back and it didn't work then everyone gets traded. I remember getting ready to celebrate my birthday and that notification hit my phone and I was in shock. That 2018 Bron playoff run was insane from the awesome 7 game series against the Pacers, the LeThanos & LeBronto sweep and jokes, then the awesome 7 game series against the Celtics then we all know what happened in the Finals. Glad I was able to witness this season in real time it was crazy.
when you hear 1Train at the beginning, you know it's gonna be a banger video
I have never seen a single player dominate an entire team...hell, an ENTIRE FRANCHISE...like LeBron dominated the Raptors. You always hear talk of how players or teams were "afraid of MJ", and while I don't doubt that this was true, every single player on the Toronto Raptors was TERRIFIED of LeBron James from 2014-2018...ESPECIALLY DeRozan and Lowry. As soon as LeBron stepped foot on that court, DeRozan and Lowry BOTH just totally disappeared. And it happened year after year after year. Those Raptors teams were always predicted to dominate the "one man show" Cavs in the playoffs, and yet every year it was sweep after sweep. I am absolutely confident that we will NEVER see that kind of domination of an entire franchise by one single player ever again.

Do the 2018-2019 celtics next and w swish out
Quite literally the worst team ever with the best peaked player of all time
The thing I hated about the 2017-2018 Cavs was before the season started they were hyped as a great team then everyone got traded, then they got hyped as a great team again and then everyone said this was the worst team LeBron played with

They would've beaten Denver had dejounte not suffered an acl injury or not even faced Denver probably would've been a 55 win team if he was healthy
2018 LeBron the best basketball player ever. Imagine what could've happened if Hill hit ONE of those two missed FTs and if JR didn't do the most stupid play in NBA history. They could've went on to win one more and potentially even win the whole thing with a lot of luck through injuries or other players stepping up

2018 lebron is the greatest individual player of the 2000s, maybe even of all time. The absolute dead weight he dragged to the dance is crazy

I feel like this video was cut a few mins short. It had a great pretense, good talk about the regular season, the trades, and the playoffs. But I think you coulda talked more about the Finals series or the Celtics series. Before I even realized it the video was over.
I only write this because I respect your production and narrative style. If I didn't care, I wouldn't comment.
He had 8 40 point games, tied for first in a single playoff run with Jerry West

Lebron vs the raptors was one of the most amazing players ive ever seen. People gotta stop acting like barely getting passed the pacers and celtics is impressive tho
It is impressive because the team he had around him and he only had them at the trade deadline.
@@sportstalkonly1442 its not impressive because oladipo didnt have anyone around him in indiana either. The celtics best player was 6ft tall or rookie tatum. Good for him for winning but people act like hes the only guy that could have possibly done that.
The fact is he was a top 3 player who didnt have to beat a single top 15 (all nba) guy for 3 rounds
@@cfg1991 oladipo had multiple players in double figures on his team. And team chemistry seeing as how they played the entire season together. And most of the cavs were outscored by the pacers. Celtics had the number one defense and the same thing the pacers had in team chemistry. And outscored most of the cavs players. The reality is the cavs came together at the trade deadline. No team chemistry and only played a full 5 minutes of their starting lielneup combined before the playoffs rolled around. No other player averaged double figures for the playoffs outside of love and lebron averaged 34 9 and 9 for the playoffs meaning he was one point and one rebound shy of a triple double average on 52 percent fg yet u say it's not impressive. Any other player u think could do it not only could they not do it but if they could where is the proof in their career that they did that? Because when those other guys had bad teams they never took them anywhere. Lebron is one of the few guys to take bad teams very far. But he's the only guy that could consistently do it and make it look easy. Everyone tries to discredit it but name the other player that took a team from the trade deadline to the final or name a guy that took more bad teams to the finals than lebron. I'll wait.
@@sportstalkonly1442 you've clearly drank all the lebron koolaid so were just going to disagree but heres the truth. Lebron has done things no one else has done because for about 10 years he was the only top 5 guy in one conference while the rest of those guys battled it out in the west. On top of that he was the ONLY all nba guy in the east that had another all nba teammate.
No one has done what lebron has done becuase no one else has had it as easy
@@cfg1991 Percentage of playoff game played against number one ranked defense- Lebron: 51 out of 239 (21 percent), Kobe: 34 out of 220 (15 percent), Jordan: 14 out of 179 (7 percent)
East was a cakewalk tho.
2011- mvp d rose. Bulls had number one defense, 2011 celtics had number 2 defense 4 hall of famers, 2012 celtics number one defense 4 hof. 13 pacers had number one defense and 2014. 2015 hawks had four allstars and 60 wins.
Bulls had jimmy butler, d rose pau gasol. No love in that series, kyrie had 11 game 3, 12 game 4 on the brink of going down 3-1 bron hit a game winner. game 6 kyrie had 6. in the ecf, irving missed games 2 and 3 and bron swept the hawks.
Celtics were 37-0 all time when leading a series until 2018.
