Bruh I just came from the Instagram post damn
Henry Russell frfr
Just came from the IG post
That's why I came back to watch this legendary performance again
It’s mandatory to come back to this masterpiece every once in a while

Lol exactly why I’m here rn… I was thinking about this game at work today and been watching since

This one was the true 99 overall Lebron James
2016 Finals LeBron though
“Sho you right”.

@@crizzleyo815 bro I'm just excited as you this season is going to be crazy
Erick I Perez Estrada more like 207 overall
This might of been the most quiet playoff game in NBA history. Lebron shut that crowd up for 4 straight quarters. Beyond impressive
Crickets. It's like the crowd witnessed a murder on the court
@@kingstown3543cause it was a murder lmao
@@mayson9817 lmao truueeee
Saw the game… personally wasn’t impressed at all. Some pretty good/decent shots but nothing to write home about
man in the arena
I'm an MJ fan, diehard Kobe fan, but let me say one thing. I've watched games since I was born in 1993. This in my eyes is the greatest game I've ever watched. Legacy, pressure, everything hinged on this one game, and this man came out like a soul less killer. This Lebron is potentially the greatest player who has ever played, it was that magical of a performance.
You the first Kobe and MJ fan I’ve heard legit give props to bron!!!
Thanks for not being bias. You the man
Better than game 7 against Warriors???
@Mikeboogie83 the reason this is #1 for me is because of the implications if he loses. Pat Riley was going to potentially ship Wade out of Miami and start over with something else. His legacy wouldn't have gotten to this point if he loses this game. He had everything on the line and he delivered, that's why it has to be his best. This game was the slingshot his career needed.
@@_VXI yea it was his best game in the playoffs ever, not to say that game 7 against the warriors wasn’t bad either but if ask most people what was the best LeBron game they ever seen , it was this one , I call it the pissed off game, because that first screenshot of him, he didn’t care about anything
“We broke LeBron” more like you broke the cage containing LeBron
FAX
this comment doesn't have enough likes.. so true
Slender why do you people always find a way to discredit this man????? Like he is the most hated athlete I’ve ever seen in my life
DrxpGawd I mean I guess but still there has to be a certain point in life where u just have to stop hating and start appreciating
Frost he has so many haters because Lebron has killed all their teams, and some haters from that “decision” which they should have gotten over by now
He didn't even smile in this game. Didn't celebrate every shot he made. Looked like he was possessed in this game. Down 2-3 on the road simply amazing performance.
facts
Wish he was a assassin more often, god nows how dominant LBJ would be!
Why he would smile if he had the risk to lose in that game?
@@n.junior440 I mean he didn't even celebrate every shot he have made. He had stoned face, not smiling, he was on business destroying the Celtics.
@@jekjek1447 because he knows he would most likely be traded if they lost this game. Everybody knows big 3 was done if they get eliminated here
I don't know if there's ever been a more complete scoring display ever. In just this one game he scores with turnaround jumpers, fallaway jumpers, spin moves, pump fakes, floaters, mids off the dribble, jab step mids, stepback mids, pull up threes, drawing fouls, slams off the dribble, put back slams. Just unguardable
Let his haters tell it all he does is bulldoze his way to the rim. “No skill” I was told lmao.
@@isoiketv618 I just feel bad for them because they never got to witness LeBron
@@isoiketv618I think of BallDontStop real quick lmao but he did say in one of his tweets LeBron is a mix of both skilled and bully ball. For me he has the perfect balance than any other player in nba history
He was literally unstoppable this particular game. Benching or star players with 7 minutes to play is an L move though.
@@thisisgoingtopainceltics benched their stars after they were down 25 so spo did the same with bron. Don’t want to risk an unnecessary injury in garbage time
“Lebron doesn’t have killer instinct, nobody fears lebron” YEA OK😭
Arenas, Coaches, opposing fans, and organizations feared Bron. Not just one player or two. Chalmers is a bitch for saying that

I’ve always hated that argument. This Celtics super team was specially built to stop Lebron during his first stint in Cleveland
I’m telling my grandkids in the future, this was Thanos in his prime.
DDC YT 😂😂
Inigo Bantok Most definitely, because the Warriors are the Avengers.
Brodan Bro of The Skies Wrong universe
Inigo Bantok we talking about the same warriors that went 73-9 the following year??? Foh hater lmaoo
@Inigo Bantok Kyrie and Kevin Love were hurt and he had delly as his second option. Ur hate for a guy that will never see u clouds ur judgement. Ur mire of a bronsexual cause all u can think about is Lebron, he lives in ur head rent free.
It was LeBron's ultimate " I'll go get this s*** by myself" moment.
d wade was the only other guy not shitting his pants this game for miami for sure...bosh was a little hurt still so...he just came back so understandably he was not himself after month off with an injury....chalmers was willing to gun it like always even if he missed he had no fear of shooting but besides him being ready to shoot and wade jesus miami's team looked shook this game lol..they needed this lebron
@@razkable chalmers doesn't get enough credit!! the dude was a lowkey gunslinger
Like Jordan's "give me the ball and get the hell out of my way"
Nah, when he scored 29/30 points against the pistons
This and vs pistons when he went for 23 straight in 4th and OT
This is the definition of being in the zone. Just the repetition of almost impossible shots being made every time he touched the ball, and the hyper concentration he showed. An athlete in peak performance mode
And now jokic does that 3/4 games he plays
@@JonathanRodriguez-st4nc thanks for mentioning that. people forget about Defense lol. You know how tough it is to drop 40 while also playing elite defense. Big shout out to MJ and Kobe as well.
I remember watching this live. The amount of pressure on this guy was higher than anyone in the NBA EVER before. I’ve seen a lot of amazing playoff performances but this one is first in my books.
Pressure! Since he picked a basketball
with the exception of probably Lebron and myself in that position no one else could deliver really
😂@@Dr_Jim57
No player in NBA history could’ve stopped this version of LeBron
If Lebron played with this mentality every game... No doubt he would be at the top of the mountain.
@@machoking2405 It is a shame, he still a top 3 player of all time in my opinion but he could have been so much more with this game´s mindset...
@@machoking2405 he is top 3 no question
Macho Guy Who ever in your top 5 has 9 finals appearances? Dumb logic
Macho Guy you’re on drugs stfu
That stoic, emotionless, determined, idgaf, vengeful look. Amazing. We’d never seen Lebron’s demeanor like this before or since. The birth of the champion.
I know right!!
In the most recent game where he dropped 56, he had the same play style. He was like "idgaf"
Bruh if only he had this attitude EVERY GAME. He could’ve had 10 rings dawg, literally nothing you can do to stop his will
In the post-game interview, he said he wanted to go out and have fun lol
Love how he still was cool enough to hand that kid at the end a piece of his gear
10 years later he is still having 45 & 10 games absolutely legendary 👑!
Dillon Brooks wanted to guard this version of Bron? Lmao
Now i remember why Pierce hates Lebron so much
Man he And KG are so cringe to watch on tv.
CoZ they cant do shit on lebron hahaha
qwerty6801 yup they was feeling so shitty 😂😂😂
qwerty6801 doesn’t hate him idiot they are rivals
Why hate greatness?
“We broke Lebron”-Kevin Garnett
Philip Najarro KG need to have a seat.. this game and Ray Allen coming to the Heat broke KG 💯💯💯
The jumper sure ain't look broke
KG got his butt whooped, LeBron is the goat 🐐
Jaaron Williams yeah lmao Lebron is a demon 😈
Lmfao that's why I'm here
As a Celtics fan, this still hurts, but this man delivered with everything on the line. This changed the whole NBA. Miami was on the brink of losing their first 2 years as a big 3, and they probably get broken up afterwards. But LeBron, with everything on the line, including his legacy, delivered one of the best performances I've ever seen, if not the best given the circumstances. Gotta give credit where it's due.

It’s crazy cuz they switched up and said he needed the Heat to win. Then went back to mofos that was burning his jerseys, owners trashing him and outperformed this to put away the Warriors for his city.
Yeah Celtics suck. Tatum is a turnover machine and Jaylen can’t use his left
Yall really thought you broke bron. Nah he broke yall
The amount of pressure. The shot selections.the expectations of it all makes this,to me…the greatest playoff performance displayed man. He was a man possessed!!
This was the first time I was ever scared watching basketball
Why were you scared bro ? 😂
@@bossman3966 did you not see that evil stare?
Boss Man bruh did you not see LeBron’s stare?
Genuinely laughed out loud at this comment
Jayy , yes but no reason to be scared unless you’re a Celtics fan
That facial expression coupled with that look in his eyes is iconic
J. ROD #LeGoatFan Yeah I saw that too, a few times it looked above human.

More like harambe
He was pissed
Slayy Wealthy he was fucking pissed I think they called him “stone face” this game he was going off goat
12 years later still shocked every time I watch this. This man had 41 points when the score was 74-61. Unbelievable
My FAVORITE LeBron game I've ever watched!! Dude was locked in since pregame. Didn't say a word to anyone and just had that look. You knew he was about to go off and WOW!! It's rare to see a player as locked in as LeBron was this game.
This is the game that LeBron’s legacy was on the line, he delivered
he delivers everytime when the stakes are highest. granted he doesnt win them all because its a team sport but he always does his part

In my opinion the three greatest LeBron "editions" were
2016 Finals

2018 Playoffs
No 2013?
You forgot Nba lock down Lebron . The villain after Dallas lost
How can u leave 2013? I mean he was a defensive beast in the 2013 finals g7 4th Q
2017 Finals he also had pretty good games
I agree with the 2018 man that time he was like the thanos of the nba with 6 infinity stone
11 years later, still my favorite playoff game. Greatest of all LeBron's Playoff performances!
This is the LeBron we've always wanted to see. No pettiness. No bullshit. No excuses. No flopping. No deferring to teammates. No smiling and no shenanigans. Straight up intensity and passion for the game.
No smiling?💀💀goddamm boi u want him to be a robot?

DEFINITELY his greatest game ever to me. I remember watching this live and dude wasn’t missing shit 😭. The most locked in I ever seen leBron
Could you imagine the stat line if it wasn't a blowout!!!! LOL
You can see and feel how determined he is, he does not talk much, has no emotion or facial expression, dude was set to destroy the Celtics and save his own career
60 & 25 lmao
@@tbone24100 I'm not sure it would have been much better or better at all. In the end, lebron is at his best when frontrunning
🤨MICHAEL JORDAN took off 5years in between his career in which the rules where favored Defense and played 3years of college in which he was national player of the year and hit the shot that won a National championship.🤔MJ reached most his RECORDS in less NBA GAMES than Lebron James who played most his career in the weakest NBA conference in history.
Bro he wasn't even talking to anyone on the bench ... He was so locked in 😂🐐
Bron looks like Aomine when he entered the Zone hahaha. Wont listen and wont talk to anyone
YSL.Slimee now he just complains 😂😂 Cavs now lakers!
AOBeezy chill out
Its like when a pitcher is pitching a perfect game or a no hitter.
Watching this again before game 5 vs den.
Here for my mandatory watch again after this performance randomly comes to mind for the 80th time
Pretty sure some forget that this was where Bron's legacy was truly TRULY at stake. At this point he won no championships and just came off a horrific Finals performance after creating the superteam. They were on the brink of elimination where they had to play Bron's long time rival at their own stadium. And he responded with probably his greatest playoff performance ever. Greatness
And went back to back.
Great summary
He created a super team and still lost. He’s expected to win with a super team. You’re setting the bar for greatness pretty low there.
@@ThomasFoolery8 Sadly you can't name any player better than him besides Michael Jordan. If you think otherwise you're just fooling yourself
@@kaz7690 these sort of debates don’t go anywhere because “greatness” is so subjective. I personally don’t like players who perform well in the first three quarters of games with a comfortable lead, but choke in the 4th in the clutch.
I think being clutch is possibly the most important attribute of a great player. That mental toughness and killer instinct is what makes you stand out above the crowd of highly talented players.
Lebron isn’t clutch. He’s mentally weak. That’s what’s so frustrating about watching him. He greatly underperforms his raw physical talents because he’s mentally weak. Someone like that doesn’t get to be in GOAT conversations, but sure, I’ll concede that he’s in my top 10.
Who’s here after Paul Pierce said LeBron isn’t top 5? Had to come convince myself he’s not crazy just a lil salty 😅😂
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pierce/KG got eliminated 4 years in a row thanks to Lebron and the Heatles, but KG doesn't bitch about it. Pierce has the worst hate boner for Lebron.
Fr!
@@geordiejones5618 KG a real one
NBA crowds are LOUD and Boston is notorious for having some of the most passionate and rowdy fans in the league. Being up 3-2 against the Team everyone hated and the player everyone hated. The sheer presence and Aura of Lebron this game silenced this entire crowd for almost 4 quarters. I have never seen anything like it and I don’t think I ever will again.
Bron was on one
Watching this before game 4 of den vs lal. The kind of lebron we need is this guy
Same. But nobody beats father time. Right now we need Never Done Before Lebron
@@hfaouzi4332 he've done it before. Lets hope he finds who he is in game 4
I need him to turn back the clock 😅 let’s hope we can get this game
@@patron7295 Me too, it would give one more year to my youth. But look how unstoppable and fast he was. He exhausted everybody with his speed and his energy. Can he do that again ?
@@hfaouzi4332 its all coming back to him now
This was 8 years ago when he was arguably at his peak, certainly in regards to his athleticism, and he is still universally recognised as one of, if not the best player on the planet. How can you hate this man's game.
Now he has better 3pt, more assists, more iq
no one can deny that the the problem comes when someone calls him the greatest of all time
Parker Klutchskey TV hairline has improved immensely too. A true mystery
@Show Genius i get it i give you top 3 but not 1
The mavs series made him a better shooter. The zone they played on on made him realize he’s gonna have to steadily hit that mid range to win in the big games. It pays off well for him against the spurs in 2013 finals.
Back here because Kevin garnett said he ”broke” lebron lol
Mark James facts.. me too lmao ✊🏾😂
Kevin garnet is a Dumbass after how many times he vote clapped by lebron lol
Same
Same
KG went to far on that one. Yeah you broke him in Cleveland and then he got his revenge back on you in Miami. Your Big 3 broke him and his Big 3 broke you.
Mamba mentality, MJ killer but villain lebron was different
I remember watching this game living in Delaware, a Heat fan and Florida native, I was almost in tears. I'll never relive that feeling again watching basketball. It was an all time Legendary performance. The story and the vibes during it is what made it so special.
When Lebron’s not smiling or celebrating after his big plays. The basketball world you know is soon coming to an end.
True Definition for "No regard for human life".
LeBron back then doesn't celebrate until he gets his first chip. With all of the criticism against him, he's more focus on winning the ring before celebrating.
@@themouus6683 Nailed it
I remember watching this game live and saying, “Damn, he ain’t even breathing hard tho.” C’s fans must’ve been shook lol
2012 ECF:
Post-injuries Kevin Garnett ( age 36 ), Ray Allen ( age 36 ), Paul Pierce ( age 34 ) and Rajon Rondo.
Still needed 7 games to beat the Celtics.
*Even Andre Iguodala was able to win 3 games vs the old Celtics team in the 2012 ECSF.*
And he didnt have a teammate like D Wade.
I remember watching this game with my older brother (a LeBron hater at the time) & when the camera panned to him doing that trademark stare, I literally turned to him and did the same stare and said “watch what this man does tonight” 😭 one of the best playoff performances I’ve seen
that's funny 😭😭
Chills man, still is a scary look Bron had even today! Celtics had no chance
I was watching it with my brother too. We both were in awe.
All of Celtics role players like tony allen and big baby who take charges were gone. As with others
@@antmck99 and?
This was peak basketball it will never feel like this again fr
This game will forever be in my mind. I'll never forget it. I was 16 at the time, out of town for a week and in an area with no data reception. I had last heard the Heat were down 3-2, going to play at Boston. I thought for sure the series was over and the Heat were done. Game back home from my trip to find out the Heat were in the Finals and that this game happened. LeBron was unearthly this game! Imagine if he played every game like this!
Heat: gets down 3-2 in the series
Lebron: fine, I’ll do it myself
*LeThanos
Funny thing is it did happen to Lebron in 2018 against boston celtics in game 6 too
Inigo Bantok well he still needed a good team and bosh and wade were getting older without crazy bench help

Lebrons greatest rivalries to get to his championships
-Celtics -Big 3
-Spurs - Big 3
-Warriors - Big 3
Everyone always points out that Lebron had help along his path to championships but let’s not act like he wasn’t going up against a fully equipped opponent with just as much help as him.Truly one of the GOATS

@@fadhirulafnan9491 me too, KG is the biggest phony masquerading as a real talk tough guy in the history of basketball. Kobe similar. So much big talk they try so hard to make you forget KG's years in minny getting stomped on until he waived his no trade clause like a little girl. Or Kobe's game 7 against the suns when he literally gave up after 3 minutes into the first quarter forcing him to demand a trade to the bulls next season. Real tough guys, lol.

Top Kek ha classic Americans. If you actually tried to play or understand a non American sport, you’d find that the world doesn’t revolve around America.
Nylo yes it does. You’re on the Internet (American) watching CZcams (American) videos of Lebron James (American) playing in the NBA (American).
Top Kek yes, that’s because it’s a good sport, so are the other non American ones. Your comment doesn’t mean anything
Ive never seen MJ play as I grew up to Bron. However, this must be what old heads refer to when it is truly a sight to see/watch a player perform at such a high level. I dont care about arguments but Bron def deserves his respect!!
People who don't think LeBron isn't top 3 seriously need to get out off their high horse. His athleticism, speed, strength, and most importantly, his will to win are the best I've ever seen since prime Kobe. No one will ever have this type of drive and passion for Basketball like LeBron James did. Give him his props!

@@trapgang9147 There are many goats in the nba especially rookies just give it time to develop themselves to greatness
This looks like one of those St Vincent St Mary's high school games where Lebron looks like a grown man playing against little boys.
This game is famous but in 2018 he done the same thing to the Celtics who had the better team that year in game 6. However they didn’t win the chip that year so all his great performances were overlooked.
Exactly bro that 2018 cavs team was trash and lebron still got them to the finals
The difference is the pressure.
I don’t think there was ever a more “you MUST win this game” type of game in the history of basketball.
2018 he was already a made man
Nah 2018 was impressive but this was downright jawdropping. You have to realize that at the end of the 3rd quarter his team had 69, the Celtics had 59, and he had 41. This man was singlehandedly beating a very good defensive team at their home court. This was the only time I've ever seen 1 man beat an entire team.
Didnt have the same pressure
@@cameronchisholm4394 just the media spinning narrative like they always do. Accomplishments are accomplishments no matter the circumstances.
The Heat got LeBron’s best years. He was a beast during that time.
I don't know. I think his best years were about year 4 through getting championship in Cleveland. He looked some of his best in Miami because he and Wade played so well together and the rest of the team was loaded with shooters.

12 years later I still come back and watch this masterpiece. If you look up the definition of “virtuoso” it’s a link to this video😤
One of the greatest performances of all time. Not just the staggering stat line but the difficulty of shots made. When you hit shots like that it destroys the other teams confidence.
He showed literally everything this game. Transition scoring. Cutting to the paint, tough post shots, tough mid range, catch and shoot, long 2s and 3s just to shut up the crowd. This game was brutal for Celtics fans but at the same time that crowd for damn sure got its money's worth.
Video game mode that he displayed against the Pistons Game 5
@@FMOON20 Bruh i wish i could play like this on 2k lol
4:58 and a play like this too
100% agree. I recall watching this live and remember this man cannot be stopped, he is determined.
By Far the greatest performance I’ve ever watched in my entire life. This was the Lebron everybody wanted him to be his entire career
To the people who say he doesn't have that "killer instinct" look at that man's eyes 👀 he's a killer and always has been. He just does it his way
"You can’t imagine what this was like to witness in person. I know Michael Jordan had similarly astonishing games, and others, too, but not with stakes like that. This wasn’t just an elimination game. This was LeBron James’s entire career being put on trial" - Bill Simmons
Easily his best game. Back when all criticism was justified, after a terrible performance in the 2011 Finals, with no rings,"LeChoke", down 3-2 against the same guys who made him choose Miami, facing all the pressure he goes out and destroyed the Celtics, to me this was the turning point in his carrer and the his best game ever.
Well put. People praise Kobe and Jordan's killer instinct, and criticize Lebron's "professional attitude". But when Lebron is super determined with eyes like those, he is on par with Jordan at his best.
I think tonight's game is just as profound as this one. I mean he's truly inaugurated as De King now because no one else could've carred this zero-all star (with Love out) team to the NBA final.
agreed
João Paulo his best game of his career is in the playoffs only? Not even the finals? There..you just explained it😂 no wonder LeBron chokes in the finals..he's only good at playoffs 🤣
Game 7 vs Spurs clutch jumper 18 feet jumper to seal the deal, Game 2 vs OKC clutch bank shot + 2 ft to seal the deal, Game 4 clutch 3 on Thabo's face, back to back 40 point games against the Warriors (came back down 3-1) just to name a few. Please, explain what you talking about Jerome.
that look in the beginning says it all. Like a lion staring down his prey.
koldokszosz0 well said, that example you used was on point. Thank You.
Worded to perfection
This was 11 years ago. This man is still dropping 30 pieces.
I come to watch this video once in a while, not to re-watch LeBron 's excellent performance but to understand what killer mentality looks like
You already know the series is over when LeBron makes this face 0:15
FACTS
“You niggas in trouble”
I’m a Celtics fan so when we I see it chill go down my spine
the Chinese LBJ fans call a death gaze
He Just turns into Monster
This is one of the greatest performances I've witnessed in the playoffs. This is the lebron I liked. Didnt smile, laugh, clown around. So intense and laser focused.
@@mrfatuchi exactly. That's why MJ is the goat in my opinion
We done with the 90s !!
the defense in this game isnt much better
Big differnce my friend. If u know any hoops u can see that there is always atleast 2 defenders between bron and the rim which makes it harder. It was lebrons outside shooting that opened up the paint. Big difference from the cake walk 90s fake tuff guy defense.
WE DONE WITH THE 90s!!
@@milkiasdawit2707 my friend if u touch a player its a foul💀
Even the non lebron fans have to admit this is one of his best performances after the 2007 playoff performance against the Detroit Pistons game 7 victory ! Some may put this performance over that like me he’s arguably one of the greatest players of all time, my favorite💯give respect were it is do!
Quite possibly the greatest 'in context' game of all time.
And jimmy does it again 10 years later
@@YesNo-yl6ws 🤮
@@YesNo-yl6ws Not really. What was expected of LeBron was not the same as what was expected of Jimmy. This is after the 2011 finals loss and being down 2-3 against one of his biggest rivals. His legacy was on the line.
Kawhi-esque midrange shooting
This the best LeBron game ever no cap this dude showed no emotion just straight dominated bucket after bucket
well we cost miami the 2011 title and game 5 so its good he showed up
This may be the best because of what was on the line, but LeBronto was pretty incredible too. So was 2007 game 5 Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pistons.
@@razkable YEAH, WHEN LEADING, IT STILL UPSETS ME. I THOUGHT THEY HAD IT WHEN 2-1 UP AND BOOM THEY CAME UNDONE.
@@chrislewis4089 nah man those were the conference finals and yes he destroyed the pistons with Jumpshot after Jumpshot and then the clutch finish to win in OT 2.
VS Post-injuries Kevi Garnett ( age 36 ), Ray Allen ( age 36 ), Paul Pierce ( age 34 ) and Rajon Rondo.
Still needed 7 games to beat the Celtics.
*Even Andre Iguodala was able to win 3 games vs the old Boston Celtics team in the 2012 ECSF.*
And he didnt have a teammate like D Wade.
Undoubtedly the greatest game of his career ! There was so much on the line at that time in his career
To me, his game with more pressure ever. Keep in mind is 2012, meaning he comes from losing to Dallas in 2011... imagine what haters would have said if he didn’t even make the finals. Truly blessed to have witnessed this.
A state needs one to be straight and conscience to be a power, while the socialist commi, need land for its fiscal circuit, and a wet land where the deaf aren't dry may follow orders and signs in its labyrinth. That signs from heaven is in the air, under the light an in the soil, and reflections stand before one and forecast for sixth sense, moreover measure. Forces, mediums or influence opposite of people, places and things can get between them and cause debt and vacuum, as doors open to oblivion or no where. A people need its state.
Who’s here after Jimmy’s unbelievable game six performance against the Celtics?Literally LeBron esq🔥
Yup. One for the ages
same!! great to see Jimmy keep the heat game 6 @Boston tradition.
bro channeled lebron so heavy, it was like watching a young lbj again
Yes
Don't compare that to this. That was a battle. This was a massacre. Not to mention this was literally LeBron's legacy on the line and he wasn't coming here after 2 single digit scoring games like Jimmy. And did I mention the experience part of the Celtics?
That was a very good game by Jimmy. This is one of the greatest games ever by an NBA player
I swear he never blinked or smiled this entire game
His legacy was on the line
I will never forget this game. This was the most locked in I had ever seen him. This is my favorite LeBron game.
2024 and I still have to come back and rewatch my Goat do his thing 👑 🐐
He was so focused that he didn’t argue for foul calls he should’ve had. A couple of more and ones, would’ve had 50 probably
Bess Snow 60 if he played the whole game no doubt
Carter Bilbro if he played the extra 7 mins & had the and ones, Might’ve even been 70
or if coach wanted to leave him in for an extra minute and a half he would've easily got that last 5
True he wasn't getting calls
