#LeBronJames #KingJames #ThrowbackHighlights
We will never see a 19 year old this skilled and talented again in our lifetime.
*_Luka Dončić has entered the chat_*
Luka doncic : am I a joke to you ?
Isaiah Armand Lebron was 18 out of high school n luka was out of the euroleagur so he had more experience I’d say n Europeans fundamentals are better than US players. Plus Lebron had all the hype n expectations to be the next MJ and was “The Chosen One” not saying Lebron is better but far different situations
@@Mckylan Yea but luka has exceeded everyone's expectations and had people expecting him to be a bust LBJ has always had love and people on his side
What about Zion Williamson????🤨🤨🤨
The season he became the best small forward in the league and has been the best small forward in the league going onto his 20th season.
Baby Lebron was a monster. Started out being must see TV. Seems like his shot was smoother too. The camera loves him. Young, handsome, body of the gods, mesmerizing and charismatic .
Were you mast******** when you typed this?
Comparison is the thief of joy. If we continue to compare Lebron to Jordan we will never be able to actually enjoy his greatness
Little did people know he led the league in steals this year. Legend.
People saying LeBron can't play in the 90s have no idea how explosive and athletic LeBron was. No disrespect to Mike and his greatness but LeBron is just superior physically and given the fact that he's also skilled in scoring and has unmatched IQ to make the right play all the time, I don't see any reason for him to not be able to play in that era. Not to mention, he can adapt and adjust his game. Playing in the early 2000's was more on 2 pointers and just being able to attack the rim, and today's players focus on 3s and he thrived and dominated on both eras. He's also arguably the most durable player in NBA history.
💯‼️‼️
Most durable but only 1 season played all 82 games. Ac green is the most durable player not even have to mention MJ, more durable with 9 season all 82 games played plus the playoffs and played all 82 in his last season when 40 years old LMAO
@@erenylmz9
Jordan isn’t more durable than LeBron. He broke his foot and missed nearly an entire season. Even when he wasn’t playing games, he was always getting hurt, getting up limping from relatively minor hits that LeBron would simply shrug off without damage. Not to mention he retired twice for several years, in between those full 82 game seasons he played. MJ was never the tank that LeBron is.
@@heroinvrxther5826 LeBron left a game with cramps because it was too hot in the arena. Jordan had a broken foot is different than cramping because it was hot.
Exactly. That dude was Magic Johnson with ridiculous athleticism. Then people act like he didn't come into the league when the game was still played with physicality. This perverse form of basketball we watch now didn't become league-wide until after 2010.
I've always watched Boston sports living in Maine and I love how the Celtics announcers called Lebron. They always showed him a lot of respect and its been wild to see close to 20 years of evolution in his game
What Lebron has done will never be replicated 👑
All NBA talent since he was 20. Still a force to be reckoned with at 37. Not even Kareem lasted this long at an elite level.
Any tru ball fan knows LeBron has always been a clutch player.
They say he isn't clutch because of the Mavericks series. And I have to agree that was the only time he wasn't clutch.
Relax bro, he''s never been clutch like that. Still a great player, but he used to be AFRAID to hoop in the clutch moments.
@@aboutmillions What are you talking about he has 5 playoff buzzer beater. He hit a shot in gm 7 in the finals of 2013 over Kawhi. So what do you mean?
@@jordanwilliams8014 Kobe wasn't clutch during the Mavs either,that's why they got swept,but we only remember Heat losing that year😂🙄
@@duffman1876 KD that year lost to the Mavs.
Blessed we can watch this footage again years later 🐐
The Matrix!
Started it off with a painful memory for them. Larry Brown failed as a coach for team USA that summer.
💯 he always seemed to get a kick out of humiliating rookies and young guys 🤷🏾♂️
Young LeBron was a monster!
I will never understand why people said he couldn't shoot early on in his career it seemed to me like the mid range and comin off screens is how he got most of his points
same reason they don't believe he's clutch 🤷🏾♂️ mainstream media needs talking points , hot takes and narratives because as exciting a game as basketball can be the X's and O's of it is extremely boring to most casual fans that ESPN and FS1 market towards..... people who know the game know leBron's shooting was excellent it's just that he was so great at everything his shooting touch kinda got loss in the sauce
Exactly😂😂😂
They don't show the misses, when he missed shots, you could see that his balance was off on the perimeter at the FT line
He was streaky as a shooter until his latter years with the heat. He’d heat up quickly but go cold quickly too. Still not a bad shooter at this time though
@@grahamfarris252 even as a streaky shooter he was good enough to have his team contending for a title every season. And when the league got better at shooting so did he. Now he has Curry-esque moments
Buzzing seeing him play coach Darvin Ham 😂
Young Bron is my fave Bron. Awesome highlights
LeBeautiful not Jordan
Same here
1:03:15 that's why Pierce don't like Lebron ...it stared before the big 3 era lol
This is at 19yrs of age. That skilled. Lebron was way ahead of his time
Lebron deserved much more playing time in those olympics
You wrong for putting 04 USA Olympic team in there 😂
Boricua!!!!!!!
There was still handcheck in this era. Kobe/Lebron could never play in the 80s is a joke.
I’m pretty sure this was the last year
God Thoughts waaay overrated. Jordan played against a bunch of guys who would be setting chairs at a concert in today’s era🤣
80s defense wasn't skill it was just being physical that's it
@@kobebryant24861
*Dude 2010s defense is overrated too. Teams are scoring 120ppg to 130ppg😭😭 LeBron got clamped by Jason Terry in the finals*
@@jarvasedundy1 lol
It’s a shame His teammates in Cleveland were so trash. He woulda had a few more titles easily. Front office should’ve invested more in there team
Bron had defense out the gate luka doesn’t
That guy looks like he can barely run lol too slow often times almost all euro players lack athleticism they hate the gym 4 some reason lol
LeBron had no stars on his team!! Just role players!! 😮
The Cavs were going in the right direction earlier on before Dan Gilbert bought the team. Big Z was a all star in 2003 and 2005. He had point guards who actually play make and made things easier for him he was a finisher and closer.He had Carlos Boozer his rookie yr. but back in the day before rookie scale contract. 2nd rd picks were restricted free agents and the team had a option to match from outside teams if they wanted to or if they could afford it. Warriors fan here we lost 😞 Gilbert Arenas the same Way went to the Wizards .
I love when the opposing announcer is like "LeBron 😐" ...like there's nothing else to say, he's fucking LeBron
This version of lebron was an absolute menace
This and Miami LBJ....Savage
Captainnn85 any version
@@bobbyorr6571 what about 2017-18 Lebron 🤔
@@DaRealRari my personal favorite
Speed Demon. Couldn't keep him out the paint. His jersey would be clinging for dear life as he flew down the court 😂
2 hours for a 19 year old player in his 2nd season. and this is only part 1. Jeez.
Crazy to see the scores of the games... first halves literally always in the 40s and 30s, teams scoring in the 80s and even 70s at times. Even though it was less fluid, I kind of miss those kinds of games every once in a while
Young LeBron was hungry af! So much dog in him man crazy to even witness a career like this
So cool Scott Williams played with Lebron and MJ
The power, strength, hops, speed, quickness, size, weight, wingspan,
How Is it even possible for someone to think anybody is better then King James.
19 year old LeBron eating Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson alive against one of the best defensive teams of the early 2000s... Nobody in the league, except maybe KD, could do that today...I think Artest would bully KD, though.
Ron artest admitted bron gave him buckets when bron was at a mj basketball camp
When you talk about Rushmore, it’s LeBron & Jordan.
No one else is even close.
Who is here after they won the 2020 championship? Congrats To the Lakers Big 3.. Davis, Rondo and Lebron The Goat(maybe).. its subjective..
27 7 7
Never forget
My goodness, the amount of bums LeBron had to play with in the first go round in Cleveland and still won 2 MVPs is nothing short of incredible.
He did choke in 2011. Ain’t going to lie. Pressure got to him,
But, from 2012-now, he’s been the most dominant player sans Jordan in NBA HISTORY.
He made a former MVP in Durant join a 2x defending MVP in Curry and 73-win team just to beat him.
Think about that for a second.
That’s how fucking great LeBron is. It’s only him and Jordan. Nobody else.
I've been saying this for years
What about kobe?
@@sonic-vy4ey no
@@killinghawkz in my opinion I'm not saying he better than lebron
If that's the case then the Celtics made LeBron start super teams in the NBA so of course KD joined a super team and that's all because of LeBron
There will NEVER be another Lebron. Imagine if Lebron was coming up in the current league with social media..
That’s what I’m saying. People think Zion got a lot of hype, that’s nothing to what Bron had even before social media
19 years old??? The Goat conversation isn't even close lol.
Lol imagine thinking this makes Bron Goat 😂😂😂 Go look at MJ in his 2nd full season at 37 ppg or what Luka did last year lmao I don't like Bron fans
@@jaymoney6233 what luka did? Shut up
@@CyanideReacts Nah bruh I won't shut up & Luka averaged 29, 9 & 8 in just his 2nd season.Luka's 2nd year was better statistically than Bron's 2nd season & alot of Bron's best seasons.
@@jaymoney6233 in a higher scoring era goofy. LeBron in year 20 is putting up Luka numbers. Foh
@@jaymoney6233Luka was 20 and also played in European league not out of high school lol
25:18 LMAO the ref thought he was gunna get punched by LeBron
He’s so so special
I'm so glad that he is a Laker. ....we got the best, of the best. .....Lakers Nation!
2nd year LeBron is damn near as fast as 3rd year MJ Jesus
Them thangs on his feet this season I need those again
The zoom generation 2 shoes my favorite of his shoes. Boozer in the off season after James rookie season said 56 million was enough to feet his family that why he signed with the jazz
This highlights just show how much LeBron put up his heart and soul for Cleveland for 7 years but the management was so fucking terrible🙄..I'm just glad he decided to leave for Miami..
All that talent on the Olympics in 2004 and still lost soooo disappointed in the USA team
Who's here watching LBJ destroy his about to be coach Darvin Ham and the pistons.
Look at all of the tools Lebron had at 19. He had it all .
1:16:30 always been clutch
All the hyped since high school boy has exceeding all expectations. What a difference player. Let's stop comparing players cause Bron was created in a lab 😆 🤣.
I hate when ppl does that you can't compared players in any era, that's so dumb to do that.
He's about to surpass Kareen in points and will be the first NBA Player with
40K POINTS
10K ASSIST
10K REBOUNDS
N he's 10th right now in steals
Bron is legendary like all the rest of the NBA players.
King James💪🏾💪🏾
That commercial that night and everytime i see brings tears to my eyes .marvins voice could only do that but also knowing levrons journey just ties the whole thing together
16:40 he was always clutch
How long was he supposed to wait for a Pippen?
Pierce hates lebron because of the talent. I see every game of lebron and lebron was amazing , with a trash team.
From rookie of the year to second in MVP voting in his 3rd year.
He almost looks smoother back then
I agree. Even his free throws look smoother
kobebryant24861 100% his free throw got a lot worse over the years. I could name off 20 things he does wrong on his free throws
Robert Shields didnt he change his routine several times over the years? He just has bad mechanics. Seems like everyone in his corner is afraid to tell him when he is doing some thing wrong.
kobebryant24861 yeah or he just doesn’t want to listen to anyone. He doesn’t bend his knees, he starts the ball below his hips (more room for error bringing it from that low all the way to your release point), he fades back, he doesn’t have a consistent follow through. There’s just a lot of things that he should be fixing
@@robertshields5541 Too stubborn to change now. It works though because when he's concentrated in the playoffs, he makes his FT's, but imagine Lebron with a consistent jump shot.
Appreciate Lebron James...
Crazy how he about to be 5-6 in the finals and retire 6-6 n the finals
Yea the new 50...50 percent.
if lebron had some help just a little in his first 7 years in the league there’d be no goat debate even tho stats clearly show lebron is the better player the only thing mj d riders love to talk about is rings
Legoat 🐐 👑
yooooo that lil long 2-point jump shot lebron brought consistently every night hhahahahaha ppl 4get
once this man starts shooting jumpers and three pointers he is invincible
Young Bron more athletic than Zion
Don't know if more athletic, but certainly a much better player at the same age (and that's not a knock on Zion at all, it's just that Lebron is probably the greatest 19/20 year old ever)
No he's not lmao gtfoh kid
Luckymag 2016 no Luka is becoming the best 20 year old ever
@@Mckylan that's not a bad point but I mean porzingod hasn't been great this year so far and luka is playing like a 24 25 year old at 20 his impact on his team and how he has transformed that franchise is on another level
Isaiah Armand I agree I’m not saying lebrons better than luka luka is balling out but to think at only 22 Lebron was in the finals in his second playoff try and 27 7 7 in his 2nd year is insane then his 3rd year he was averaging 31 is insane. And Lebron has all the youngest to records: triple double, lead his team in points, youngest to get drafted #1, youngest 1000- all the way until now points, youngest to win an all star MVP, to score 30 40 50 points, ROTY etc. I feel people really forget how good Lebron was and he was the most hyped player ever. He could’ve easily been another bust but no one expected Lebron to be this great. He’s exceeded expectations and is undoubtedly a top 5 or 2 player ever.
They said he never had a bag?🤔 that's cap! Always had a 🎒!! The fadeaways, 3pt, mid range, runners!!😮
Besides Jordan, there is no greater basketball player to ever walk the earth,
Guess what, if you disagree. Go cry some more.
Crazy how at 19 he was already losing his hair. Dude is built different
Lol
MJ was not thsi good at theis age right? Lebron has been a legend since sophomore year of high school, this is why he is the Goat.
Lol.hahahahahahaa
If he played at 245-250 instead of 265-275 and played like this his whole career wow
Wade and Bron played too similar so his playstyle slowed down a lot in Miami.
@Ali Chaudhry I didn't like it
I'll take LeBron over Kobe any day.
Kevin Crater u hating big time
I'll take kobe over LBJ any day lmao we all have are on opinion
@boss dawg yes I can TF kid LeBron was Obvioulsy better in his first couple years compared to kobe but you can argue kobe's prime is just as good as Lebron's I hope I'm not interacting with one of bron's retarded fans
@boss dawg And dude who really gives a fuck tbh after what happened to kobe it's just pointless to compare both players
This is just disrespectful
Can we get a 2nd year treatment like this for Wade please?!
stargladiatorx yes please
Lebron couldn’t shoot stop it yeah he wasn’t as consistent but y’all know damn well he could shoot🤣🤣
Exactly lol
he's a streaky shooter...his jumpshot isn't as consistent as a kevin durant but yeah he can shoot idk why people say he can't
He can’t shoot.....
@@samoso6979 why are you hating lebron
It’s 2023 I’m just looking at all the off ball movement he used to be able to do lol he doesn’t do 10% of this now lol that’s where his age shows lol
41:00 that commercial was dope 😆
Oh Young GOAT‼️🐐🐐🐐
41:02 They predicted Miami LeBron, what the hell?
Love it keep them coming
Larry Brown is the worst thing that happened to USA Basketball.
The LeBron who played for the Cavs would have dominated and stunned the world if there was a competent coach who let him do his thing
King LeBron James 👑👑👑👑👑
The Matrix!
You the GOAT 🐐🙏🏾
Who mj? Or kareem? Or wilt? Or curry? Or bill russell?
Donna Dunbar can you read I said “You the GOAT” AS in the person who made the video. And yes LeBron is the goat 🐐
Lebron is not top 5 all time
@@donnadunbar5342 easily
@@donnadunbar5342 lol youre a special type of stupid if you think curry will ever be the goat.
Well we see here he doesn't take that gather step since it wasn't around during this time. 😅
Now I’d be wrong to call these players plumbers right because players always get bigger faster stronger right
Can you have similar thing for Kawhi’s 2016-2017 season?
40:52 wow I never knew Anderson Verajao had braids. my man was keeping up with the western world 2000s culture lol he should've kept those
@MaxaMillion711 where do you get your content from, the games were ages ago
There was a narrative that he couldn't play in the post in his younger years lololol
Early on he was massively influenced by watching Kobe.
@Ice Berg he mention it i forget.
God: "how the fuck did Shawn Marion ever make a jump shot?"
He did MySpace CZcams Facebook it’s just evolved into different apes and updated style of cell phones.
What you said should only apply to NBA greats born before 1984.
25:16 "and one.get in there f****** ball"
Lol the inside the nba theme with ernie as shaq is in a uniform
Fact's
Nice game
Ol goat James
What's with the black stripes on the Cavaliers's jerseys? Did somebody die?
"Lebron James highlights, then shows us team USA instead for first 10 minutes. Smh
It’s sad he didn’t get more playing time during those Olympics. If there was a competent coach who let him do his thing like with the Cavs the USA would have dominated and he would have shocked the world
@@DRock77794 forreal
Man averaged 27 that year
Question of the day. Was this Bron Better then year 5(last years) Giannis?
Jared Laws they one the same level but Giannis was more physically mature at this time because lebron was only 19-20
Great question. Giannis scored more at 24 in fewer minutes. Both were defensive monsters. But Giannis' team was WAY better--a playoff level team. And his coach was WAY better. Silas was a 2nd year coach. Switch the two players--19-year-old Lebron on this year's Bucks and 24-year-old Giannis on the 2004-5 Cavs, and their offensive stats will switch. So, I think they're about equal. The teams are way different.
Giannis was more physically imposing & a better defender. That's it. I don't see '18 Giannis scoring over 21 ppg in 2004. Spacing was horrible.
I remember laughing at this. The game is played different. It’s not the NBA
Imagine saying he is not clutch...
King james
