A few things: I didn't make this video. I found it a while ago and had a hunch it would get taken down at some point, so I saved it. Sure enough it disappeared so as promised I put it back. The reason I post this is because the tiresome "greatness debate" which basketball has mutated into has devolved into simplistic numerical comparison, and ignores the more important aspects of team basketball, character, and motivation. This video is not hate, it is a critique of leadership in tough situations. If they put the debate down, i love the guy. But if you're going to argue greatness, you can't overlook this.

@@tmacman0418 true, but if you want to play professional basketball, then you have to be pushed to your limits. Lebron is just being hard & stern on them because if you cant develop a talent then you need to sit out. teammate wise, not the best. But if this was based on carrying a trash team wise, then his leadership is exquisite.

@alfuller1332 I always find it funny when coaches, nba legends, nba superstars, and players lebron has played with and against throughout the nba say things completely different from what you guys call the "truth" "Being propped up by the nba" doesn't make you magically have the greatest playoff and finals performances in nba history "He literally needs a superteam to win" Mj had a 10% win rate in the playoffs without pippen lebron has shown that he's capable of winning without a superteam I swear yall lebron haters just live making shit up🤣😭 Getting a great player on your team is sad now?? I swear yall lebron haters are now hating on lebron for trying to get a good teamate💀
Sharpe bringing up Washington like Jordan had an actual team there and he wasn’t injured. Jordan was still throwing up 40 point games on Washington and never quit on defense or effort despite his team being bad and have a bad injury. The amount of mental gymnastics people make for LeBalco is wild.
@@AlanRR121 It's inequitable to compare 39 year old MJ to 39 year old Lebron. Jordan, as a Wizard, was plagued with injuries from day one...broken ribs, back spasms, tendinitis in his knees and wrist...fluid had to be drained from his knees regularly due to severe swelling! Yet, despite being injury-riddled and playing on a subpar team, he still put up comparable numbers to Lebron that first year in Washington (prior to his meniscus tear) and gave maximum effort on BOTH ends of the court, without an AD level player beside him. Additionally, Jordan's shots were mainly from the mid-range and heavily contested, Lebron's shots are mostly uncontested lay-ups or uncontested 3 pointers, most of his shots coming from within 3 feet of the basket. Context matters, clearly not to you but it matters to most people.
Thats why there’s no chemistry in the Lakers team. Imagine having a leader like that!! Doesn’t make his teammates better and always needs trades!! The deer 🦌

@@imanamerican553you’re asking how Lebron James is a quitter when you just watched a 7 minute compilation of him quitting? You Lebron fans are the same as the t community.
I just don’t see how a human could watch Jordan and lebron play and think Lebron is the better player. It’s insane to me that people think that. Watching Jordan play is like watching poetry in motion. Watching Lebron play is really nothing special. I just don’t see what these people see in Lebron that makes them think he’s the goat.
It’s pretty rare someone is a lebum fan plays basketball in his/her real life. And commend someone ‘moves like lebum’ in street courts would definitely piss them off
He is the Chosen One that's all his fans know. Half of them don't actually watch sports they thought they were being inclusive to Next and I thought so at one point. A long long time ago. His play drove me away from liking him, then all the other BS drama that comes with him didn't help
The dude never grew up. He entered the league straight out of high school and he hasn’t matured past that stage. He’s a teenaged child trapped in the body of a 40 year old man.

What’s his talent besides size? He is a below average shooter, below average ball handler, poor footwork, poor leadership, poor sportsmanship, zero mentoring ability, doesn’t play elite defense, egotistical so never improved on his flaws because it’s everyone’s else’s fault. I keep hearing for 21 years about his talent, IQ, clutchness etc but when I watch his games for 21 years I just don’t see skill, IQ or clutchness. I see an aided athlete with help of something, allegedly, good passer definitely, but I do not see this great skill they keep pounding in our heads. Where is this greatest IQ in the finals? Where is this greatest talent in the finals? Where is the greatest clutchness in the finals/playoffs as a whole? Where is the dominance? They keep telling me all these things and I’ve been waiting 21 years to see it.
@snakebitten6967 it's not about you waiting 21 years to see the person people are talking about It's yiu thing lwbron and refusing to see the person people are talking about Every superstar needs help every nba superstar is a human being capable of making mistakes and having games were they underperformed But to you lebron haters you only hyperfocuse on the bad things about lebron nd refuse to see the good Lebron is an incredible passer and an incredible shooter Lebron has a better 3 point and true shooting percentage than mj in the regular season playoffs and finals Lebron has good ball handling skills by no means is it average "Poor footwork" I'm pretty sure this is just you throwing shit out there 😂 "Never improved on his flaws" This statement alone shows you don't have any basketball knowledge at all and are simply a lebron hater You don't see the skill in 21 years really? Lebron has the greatest playoff performance and finals performances in nba history Lebron in multiple playoff runs accounted for half his teams points(points and assists)
@@imanamerican553You’re watching a 7min document on how bad of a leader he is and you’re talking about refusing to see what’s in your face, isn’t that ironic? Ball handling skills? Is that why he has so much travelling and carrying complilations in yt alone? He’s in a league that follows a different set of rules from the basketball that everybody knew for years. Better 3 point shooting? By making 2 out of 5 shots? If you can only read stats that the media shows you, it sure looks good. And Lebron has the greatest playoff performances in NBA history? Sure. Is that why he only has won 4 rings in 21 years?
He literally plays like he in high school and even a real high school coach would sub him out for these type of plays IDC what ur name say on the back of the jersey but not this guy. Anybody who says otherwise ain't never played a game before other than 2k
Exactly what I was going to type.. I just watched this guy in the one offensive set break all the basic rules of floor spacing including dribbling towards the corner, drawing 3 defenders to his man there, telegraphing the pass and then leaving the ground for no reason to make the pass. And then when the guy fumbled the ball because he had 3 defenders crowded around him that the jackass brought over to him, the jackass gets angry at him and refuses to run back on D. I was pro for over a decade and a coach for another 15 years after that, I've coached many 14 year old's with higher ball IQs than LeBron lol
A few clips from across 21 years doesn't define 21 years of playing basketball 😂 It's funny seeing you a internet troll with zero basketball knowledge and who is using an account dedicated to hating lebron as proof has to say Vs Coaches, players, teammates, superstars and nba legends have to say about lebron Can you give me some examples of LeBron hating his teammates for screwing up
@mcfeld7813 it's not outrageous he's had the greatest playoff and finals performances He's faced far greater teams in he playoffs His skill and leadership abilities are next level and in some year accounting for nearly half to over half his teams points in playoff runs
Only casuals ride his jockstrap and make excuses for him.Anybody that watched true superstars win titles know that Lebron has no heart.Never see any “star” whine as much as him.
This is well done, but just starts to scratch the surface. LeBaby giving up when things get tough goes back to the eastern conference semi finals in 2008 against the Celtics
Lebron accounted for over half his teams points in the 2008 playoffs(points and assist) And I'm sorry can you exsplain to me how dropping 45-5-6 in game 7 equals to giving up?

My biggest question is if he always throws his teammates under the bus why has none of them made a scene when it’s his fault for lack of effort? I just remembered when Ingram or Kuzma pushed him in the back to make him run the court and get back then how they all got traded that offseason 😂 damn answered my own question
I feel sorry for him his whole career he's been this way because everyone believed he was the future chosen one thinking he didn't need no help trying to make him better than Mike and Kobe

Something changed in the last like 4 or 5 seasons. You'd NEVER hear an announcer talk about James giving up on a play nowadays. They used to have more backbone.
I'm a Cavs fan, from Ohio. LeBron won my team a chip, something I'll forever be grateful for. Love the guy but he just doesn't have what it takes to be the GOAT.
Omg… this guy😂😂, Lebron does have what it takes to become the he literally came back to home just to win y’all a ring, no one else would have done that😂

A few things: I didn't make this video. I found it a while ago and had a hunch it would get taken down at some point, so I saved it. Sure enough it disappeared so as promised I put it back.
The reason I post this is because the tiresome "greatness debate" which basketball has mutated into has devolved into simplistic numerical comparison, and ignores the more important aspects of team basketball, character, and motivation.
This video is not hate, it is a critique of leadership in tough situations. If they put the debate down, i love the guy. But if you're going to argue greatness, you can't overlook this.

@@Logan-gl5mxNo their not 🤡
@@AlanRR121 It's inequitable to compare 39 year old MJ to 39 year old Lebron. Jordan, as a Wizard, was plagued with injuries from day one...broken ribs, back spasms, tendinitis in his knees and wrist...fluid had to be drained from his knees regularly due to severe swelling! Yet, despite being injury-riddled and playing on a subpar team, he still put up comparable numbers to Lebron that first year in Washington (prior to his meniscus tear) and gave maximum effort on BOTH ends of the court, without an AD level player beside him. Additionally, Jordan's shots were mainly from the mid-range and heavily contested, Lebron's shots are mostly uncontested lay-ups or uncontested 3 pointers, most of his shots coming from within 3 feet of the basket. Context matters, clearly not to you but it matters to most people.

While incredibly talented from a god gifted perspective, these clips alone exclude lebron james from ever being in the conversation of best all time.
What’s his talent besides size? He is a below average shooter, below average ball handler, poor footwork, poor leadership, poor sportsmanship, zero mentoring ability, doesn’t play elite defense, egotistical so never improved on his flaws because it’s everyone’s else’s fault.
I keep hearing for 21 years about his talent, IQ, clutchness etc but when I watch his games for 21 years I just don’t see skill, IQ or clutchness. I see an aided athlete with help of something, allegedly, good passer definitely, but I do not see this great skill they keep pounding in our heads. Where is this greatest IQ in the finals? Where is this greatest talent in the finals? Where is the greatest clutchness in the finals/playoffs as a whole? Where is the dominance?

Exactly what I was going to type.. I just watched this guy in the one offensive set break all the basic rules of floor spacing including dribbling towards the corner, drawing 3 defenders to his man there, telegraphing the pass and then leaving the ground for no reason to make the pass. And then when the guy fumbled the ball because he had 3 defenders crowded around him that the jackass brought over to him, the jackass gets angry at him and refuses to run back on D.

Why would anyone ever say this guy Is the goat ? Longevity wow
If we’re talking about longevity, my grandpa is the GOAT!
@arthurburgos5285
You're grandpa never played elite sport
Because he's one of the most skilled and talented players to ever play the game
He's had the greatest playoff performance in nba history and the greatest finals performance in nba history
Lebron is a phenomenal player who is praised by coaches players teammates and rivals alike
Maybe stop hating and acual have some knowledge
@@arthurburgos5285you don't watch basketball
@imanamerican553 the video clearly shows the greatest at quiting also. Dude about to get swept bye bye 😂😂😂
If somebody has to try to argue to prove and defend LeFlop’s greatness by using Wizards years MJ in comparison.….bruh, stop it. Get some help.
Lebum is at best in top 15
LBJ not using his IQ. His EQ is a suspect when you can’t control your frustrations like that.
Room temperature IQ
James is trash. The most entitled, lazy player ever. So much potential and skill, true. No doubt. He just doesn't have that mindset of Jorden, Kobe, Bird - the greats. He doesn't have it.
LeFraud Blames
Lebron, the greatest lazy of all time 😂😂😂.
TELL ME IS THAT YOUR GOAT?
IS THIS THE KING? 😂😂
Apparently
@@youaresoyou1072 Question: What do you think sells the NBA best. Saying the greatest to ever do it, retired 21 years ago, or are you gonna tell the braindead masses that don´t know any better that the Lebron is the GOAT? Look Lebron is/was a very talented player, BUT he just doesnt have the mental tuffness when the biggest games are on the line. The lack of effort and quitting when things arent going his way says it all. Plus the constent flabing with his arms when the other teams scores, and the shoulder shock when he scores are absolutely obnoxious.
@@perottosson5127 I completely agree. I’ve been saying lebron is overrated since 2012 man seriously. He was never special in my opinion. Never not in his whole career was he the best in the league. That’s where I stand with it 👍 glad people can see through the lie today but it’s long overdue to me.. people have a hard time thinking against what the machine presents to them as true. You know like how people follow religion and trust the government? Bunch of dummies but hey lebron sucks yes
@@youaresoyou1072 LeBron doesn't suck kid, he is literally regarded as a top 5 player in every analysist eyes (well except skip Bayless lol) can't say he is bad at the sport when he's averaging the same numbers he was doing in his prime. he is constantly averaging over 25+ for the past 10 seasons. and all-time greats like Jordan, Kobe, dirk, Duncan, Garnett, Kareem, magic, bird, Shaquille, Wilt, Jerry west. Weren't averaging the same numbers at LeBron's age, it's a huge margin and that what makes him special in my eyes. I don't hate Jordan in any way, but you guys make him look like a bad person.
@@Kmonique27 disregard everything I say man cause in all reality it’s just basketball. Even tho it’s the playoffs …..it’s just basketball…. 🤣🫵
3:15-3:20 between Bron face and JR Smith face this was so dramatically funny😂😂😂
Dude has the emotional maturity of a 13 yo
These are casual hater clips 😂, I bet you wouldn’t dare showing his effort which is more often then this and all his other times he puts teams on his back
Facts.
Just sad hating
He tries sometimes, but then he quits while the game is still going.
@@FamousOriginalSlim how about you show his performance last night. Age 39 and left it all out there, not once did he quit on his team
@@JordanMaille22
Why would he? He has propaganda and narratives to push
@@JordanMaille22 he had a great game last night. They missed their foul shots, and that's it. They have all the components to be a championship team. But when it came down to it, the Nuggets hit all the big shots. What a series. Lakers should run it back.
And he wanna complain that he got no help?..it’s more like his teammates got No help cuz his ass still walking back after he makes a turnover..smh..LEQUIT
In the playoffs against the nuggest lebron and ad make up over 170 points the rest of the entirelakers teams makes up less than 140
Astros win the 2017 World Series where every win was on the road, away from their ~fool proof trash can system~... but "it don't count."
Lakers win the 2020 Finals in a bubble.. and it counts? Like wtf?! Y'all on some bullshit. The In-Season Tournament worth more than that shit.
Kobe would never ,jordan would never , young bron would never.
Dude jus needs to retire.
All his accomplishments will be overshadowed by this and ppl forget your greatness real quick in this world.
The goat. (not the achronym! No, just the real animal! Just wondering on the court looking for food!)
“It’s just basketball”
Lebron is a loser. Plain and simple. Kobe would be so disappointed in him. Kobe and MJ would never do this garbage. And y’all call Lebron the goat? Embarrassing…..
And this is the best player??? Ridiculous
Yes he is the greatest player to ever play the game
i love how you LeBron haters acting like you hate him so much but you guys at the same time you guys talking about him 24/7 and in reality you guys love him. he living rent free in ya delusional heads 😂😂

here from numbers on the board lmao
Lebron is not even a top 10 player.
Are you serious
hot take, but I like it
I got a top ten list, took me all of two seconds to compile and no LeBronze in sight. Larry, MJ, Kareem, Magic, Kobe, Russell, Duncan, Shaq, Steph and Dr. J
@@jarodjohnson4357your just wrong bruh, I’m not even a LeBron fan as I’m a die hard warriors fan but this is stupid 😂
@@King-eg2zlYeah, Dr. J and Steph could be replaced by Hakeem and Wilt, still no sign of LeBrenda
You might want to add the current series
people try to pretened this isn't what we're watching.
It's one-thing to quit it's another to then stand there looking at your teammates disapprovingly as if they screwed-up.
This video is a major reason why he will never be the GOAT. Just cares about padding his offensive stats for a very long time now.
How else was he supposed to his INDIVIDUAL accomplishment of 40,000 if he doesn’t give up on defense so he can get those cherry picking points
Lebron has the greatest playoff and finals performances in nba history
@@imanamerican553 All the stats in the world are not enough to ever convince me Lebron is equal to Jordan, let alone better. Kobe was much better than Lebron. I would take Pippen over Lebron, in a heartbeat. It's sad hearing the stats support Lebron being the better player, but anyone who knows, knows that is not the truth. Stats can be deceiving, they can be manipulated as well. Lebron's stats being higher are a testimony of this. It's going to take someone a hell of a lot better than Lebron to dethrone Jordan, and when that person comes it will be obvious to all.

WS (win shares)
which is a statistic that estimates how many wins a player contributes to their team. Win Shares are based on a player's offensive and defensive contributions throughout the season, and are assigned as a "share" of the team's total wins for the season. Each win share a player earns represents one win contributed to the team's total record for the season. For example, if a team wins 60 games, there are 180 Win Shares to distribute among the players.
Win Shares are intended to represent player value, rather than player ability. Some believe that credit should not be assigned purely based on team wins because team exceeding or falling short of its Pythagorean expectation is generally acknowledged as chance.

OWS (offensive win shares)
Win Shares are easily the best metric for evaluating the offensive play of a single player because it accounts for almost everything and scales the result so that one OWS is actually equal to one win added to the team's cause.
Points Produced takes all facets of the offensive game into account: points scored, assists and offensive rebounds. Lebron is

@adjustableisland8806
Lebron lead in every single stat in the 2016 nba finals(first tiem in nba history)
Lebron average a triple double in the nba finals(first time in nba history)
Lebron james james faced far greater competition in the finals comapred to mj
The net efficiency of the team's lebron has faced are doubled tripled and even quadruple that of the team's mj faced in the finals
And yall need to get rid of the motion thst 90s defence was some mythical defense that would lock down a 6'9 260 pound small forward
Fouling≠degence
pippen MJ and Rodman
All struggled woth prototype 1 Garnett so what makes you think they could handle kd lebron steph kyrie and so on
I've never heard a team mj faced say "we are gaurding him with 5 guys"
Lebron james is the greatest basketball to ever play the game
@@adjustableisland8806 2018 lebron james in the playoffs had the greatest performance in nba history
Lebron averaged 34.0 points, 9.1 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 22 game during the playoffs
LeBron was unstoppable in the clutch. He was 5-of-6 (83%) on shots to tie or take the lead in the final minute of the 4th quarter, including 2 buzzer-beaters
He outperformed two all stars while against the raptors he had 136 points 33 rebounds 45 assist 57-103 fg
Demar derozan & Kyle Lowry 138 points 30 rebounds 46 assists 53-108
The Celtics were 37-0 all-time when up 2-0 in a 7-game series until lebron during the 7 game series lebron had 3 40+ games with a triple double
LeBron James was everything for the Cavs. Only 40 times a player contributed to 50 or more points (points and assists) in a 2018 postseason game. LeBron was 17 of them. He played 22 postseason games.
Lebron per rating in 2018 was also higher than any playoff run mj had in his career
And at that time the top 20 for the highest per for a playoff run 6 of them were lebron james currently lebron holds 2 7 16
Mj is known for how clutch he is and during his career he's had 3 playoff buzzer beaters
Lebron had 2 playoff buzzer beaters in a 10 day span
LeBron had 8 40-point games in the 2018 postseason, the most by any player ever in a single postseason. Even more impressive - he shot over 50% in all 8 of these games. In two of these games he shot 70% from the field.
Leading up to the Finals, LeBron faced elimination 3 times. In those games, LeBron went 3-0 and averaged 42 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists.
In the 2018 playoffs LeBron had two times the amount of triple doubles than mj had in his entire career
Yes, in 13 playoff runs, MJ had half the amount of triple-doubles as LeBron had in one. LeBron having 4 triple doubles and mj in his career having 2
LeBron was also 1 assist/rebound away from a triple-double 3 times.
One Assist/Rebound Away:
Game 6 vs. Boston: 46 points, 9 assists, 11 rebounds
Game 7 at Boston: 35 points, 9 assists, 15 rebounds
Game 2 at Golden State: 29 points, 13 assists, 9 rebounds
It was a different NBA back then, but this is still amazing. 4 playoff triple-doubles is more than some of the NBA’s finest have in their entire career:
The Cavaliers only made it the the nba playoffs because of lebron here's a quote from Shannon Sharpe
“Not magic, Not Jordan, not Larry, Not Kevin durant, Not stephan curry - - even in the east - - No one in the history of the game, other than Lebron James, could of gotten this team to the Finals”
The Cavaliers had the second worst defense in the entire league barely beating out the 21 wins sun's
Leading up to the Finals, LeBron faced elimination 3 times. In those games, LeBron went 3-0 and averaged 42 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists.
Lebron had the worst team possible and the year after he left the team didn't change one bit and this was there
Record:
2017-18 (with LeBron): 50-32 (61% winning percentage)
2018-19 (without LeBron): 19-63 (23% winning percentage)
Finished:
2017-18 (with LeBron): Eastern Conference Champions, NBA Finals appearance
2018-19 (without LeBron): 14th in the East, missed playoffs
Points Per Game:
2017-18 (with LeBron): 110.9 (5th of 30)
2018-19 (without LeBron): 104.5 (29th of 30)
Offensive Rating:
2017-18 (with LeBron): 112.9 (5th of 30)
2018-19 (without LeBron): 107.7 (25th of 30)
This is one of many examples of LeBron doing more with less
This guy has been a detriment to not only his team, but to the entire league for at least the last five years. And judging by his students’ test scores and mental aptitudes, a detriment to humanity also.
I get that mr.Hennessy messed up big but the game wasnt even over. They coulda won with a real leader.
Self proclaimed "king". Self proclaimed "goat". Absolute figjam.
All these players coaches and staff. Is gonna shred this dude once this faux king reture
Yall are so annoying slow😂
For years coaches and players have praised lebron for his talent
And how amazing of a leader he is and hwo he's a court general
Only no life trolls who Hate on lebron think he way you do 😂
Disgrace the number 23
ESpn`s constant praise of this guy is sickening.
Something changed in the last like 4 or 5 seasons. You'd NEVER hear an announcer talk about James giving up on a play nowadays. They used to have more backbone.
The best complication of exposing LeBron’s weak and soft mentality.
Bum… take that laker jersey off. Disgrace to the lake great kobe Bryant’s legacy
I'm a Cavs fan, from Ohio. LeBron won my team a chip, something I'll forever be grateful for. Love the guy but he just doesn't have what it takes to be the GOAT.
Omg… this guy😂😂, Lebron does have what it takes to become the he literally came back to home just to win y’all a ring, no one else would have done that😂
No character, no fight and lots of excuses.
Lebrick is not a good leader or team player. Morale on the team is always down when he plays. 🧹🧹🧹🧹 coming soon.
*LeBron's never lost in the 1st Rd with a healthy team (edit- ok until 2024)*
*OVERRATED's been swept, TWICE*
*Kobe lost, TWICE, once with the better team*
*1993- for the first time ever, a superstar AT HIS PEAK just ups and quits and leaves his team high 'n dry to PLAY ANOTHER SPORT!!!!*
*Same mtfkr quits AGAIN bcus his coach leaves the team- talk about EXCUSES!!!!*
*Kobe asked to be traded, Bron always played out his contracts!!!!*
*Nice try to use a thumbnail of the 2018 postseason.... LeBron had the greatest postseason of all-time.... Take LeBron from that team and the Cavs wouldn't win a single game against any team!!!!*
You're truly trying hard to cope out here.. Do you just look into things at face value instead of context?? Explains why you're a Lejock sniffer... Only caring about stats... LeQuit is an embarrassment, and so is his fellow entitled fatherless generation that idolizes him
