i'm a heat hater but i can't believe that everyone forget this 16-0 run with lebron scoring the last 10 points of the game. This is one of the most amazing close out games in NBA history.
Apparently moments like these do nothing for LeBron's legacy since he didn't deliver a championship. But they meant everything to fans who had heard nothing but questions about his jump shot, especially in the clutch.
I was just thinking the same thing. The only thing people remember from 2011 is Lebron choking in the Finals. But up until that point he was having a monster playoffs. In the next round vs. the Bulls he locked down Rose and then hit the game winning shot to win that series.
Quinlan Wallace but then LeBron got outscored by a bench player in the 2011 Finals when it actually mattered this year. Where was the 2nd place in DPOY? but but but then LeBron was outplayed by a role player 3 straight games (3-4-5) in the 2014 Finals when it actually mattered. Where was the 4x MVP? the only franchise player in history to get showed up by 2 role players in the Finals during his prime youtube footage - "Leonard exposes LeBron defense" In the Last 3 games (3-4-5) of 2014 Finals - Lebron allowed 13 ppg Kawhi Leonard to average 23.7 ppg on 69% in Games 3-4-5 of Finals - much more efficient than Lebron's 27 ppg on 55% in those 3 games (14% FG difference) - Lebron also got out rebounded by Leonard 9.3 rpg to 7.7 rpg in those 3 games - Leonard also outstole Lebron in those 3 games 2.0 spg to 1.7 spg - Leonard also outblocked Lebron in those 3 games 2.0 bpg to 0.7 bpg - LeBron also had more than twice as many turnovers as Leonard (3.7 to 1.7) In those last 3 games, Leonard outrebounded, outblocked, outstole Lebron, scored MUCH more efficiently (14% FG higher than Lebron) and Lebron committed more than twice as many turnovers. In Game 5 Lebron had 1 FG in the 2nd quarter (2:30 mark) to bring the Heat within 5, and never scored again until the Spurs were up 21 with 4:40 left in the 3rd - definition of stat padding and not delivering when it mattered. In the 4 combined Heat losses, Lebron scored 48% of his points when the Spurs were up 15+. Definitely not delivering the numbers when he needed to. Lebron's FG% in 2012 (47%) and 2013 (45%) when he won the NBA Finals were lower than his FG% in 2011 (48%) and 2014 (57%), so pointing at Lebron's high FG% while taking less shots doesn't prove that he was helping his team, unlike Jordan. LeBron only won the NBA Finals in 2012 and 2013 taking 21+ shots a game, not taking 15 and 18 shots a game like in 2011 and 2014. What top 10 player has ever got outscored by a bench player in the Finals and then outplayed 3 straight games in another Finals by a role player? I am waiting.... LeBron = regular season player with meaningless regular season accomplishments, and more failures when it matters than successes
It's crazy how much Lebron's game has improved from 2011. And you can see the fatigue on his face at ultimately was exploited in the finals with dallas. Dude looks exhausted from playing and pressure that lead up to him having to leave Cleveland.
I honestly almost lost my mind watching this game. I'll neverrr forget this performance by my favorite player ever! Just to see him finally get over this hump meant so much to him & his fans!!!!
I like how you remember the Celtic that was injured, but not how our only big man, Chris Bosh was injured at the beginning of the series, and the Heat's turn around in the series coincided with his return. It wouldn't have gone to 7 games if Bosh was healthy
Well the Celtics fan base deserves this again after what they did to Isaiah Thomas leaving I’ve never seen anything more disrespectful to an nba player
I admire Wade and Lebrons emotions at the last minutes of this game 'cuz it told me that they're smart basketball players beyond their superb talent and big ego. they knew the C's had give them a hard time in their careers and they took them more serious than any team I ever seen them play against in their time as the big 3.
wade only played the celtics once lol in 2010 in the first round without home court in 5 games... and his team wasnt a contender ......he lost yeah but his team was outmatched....mj lost 3 straight years ...2 times in the conference finals in 7 games to the pistons....not the same...mjs overrated he needed to wait until pippen grew to become what he became to win titles...he needed help too...
@@razkable True but you have to look at it from a standpoint of beating the beat of the East! Regardless you had to beat the Celtics to reach the finals so best believe this was big for Wade as well. And plus it became more personal for Wade once Bron(his brother) joined the Heat.
look at the emotion of wade and lebron at the end after all the times the big 3 of the celtics gave lebron and wade hell individual they give it back to them now they are getting that ring this year
This moment here broke my heart. I haven't seen the Heat fans as crazy as this since their 06 Finals run.. I love the Celtics to death and I can tell that we were the team that the Heat wanted to beat the most. Because of that, I am proud of being a Celtics fan.
i'm proud of how far the celtics went this season. and they took it to game 7 with the heat which is impressive considering their the favorite to win the championship this year.
sucks that fell short on the finals! Hopefully this year:)( Fingers cross)!! Much RESPECT for Boston Celtics especially Ray Allen and Coach Doc Rivers!! Cant wait for Saturday! PLAYOFFS!!
I absolutely loved this celtics team and this still hurts. lol. but it upsets me how they were always sore losers, mainly kg and rondo (my fav player). everytime they lost they headed immediately to the tunnels while doc and ray complimented the adversary team... sigh
all i have to say is see you in the ECF. Obviously both teams made good additions and any one of these can go into the finals. just waiting till that postseason
I like what Lebron did there and it shows that he doesn't choke in the fourth, but people quickly forget about Bosh's performance. For example the dunk he put in after Ray's miss got the Heat fired up again, so it sure helped. It's a team playing out there, no matter how good one of them was.
It was 81-87 boston then suddenly its 95-87 heat over thats how underrated lebrons defense is he locked up pierce everytime down floor. People underestimate what lebron brings ti the game. Can just dominate all parts of the game
dam this is pretty sick as a heat fan it was fun to watch. thing is ppl think this is what it means to be clutch. not even close. Clutch means u come through for the team when everything is on the line, when it's now or never not when you have at least another three games to play. So he took a shot and it went in, i doubt he'd take that shot if this was game seven nba finals thats why he choked against dallas b/c that was reall pressure and he couldn't handle it i think this yeear heat win
As a Heat fan, I would have loved to see them win the finals obviously. But to me, and I think in the back of every real Heat fan's mind, it seemed to me as if this was the Heat's finals last year. You can just see the passion in the teams eyes, especially wade and lebron, when they realized they were winning this game and they had FINALLY gotten past the Celtics, the team they were trying to become. That united team LeBron, Wade and Bosh had been searching for for so many years. They found it.
Yeah, I really hope they can get themselves into a good rythm and find that chemistry. What's awkward is that melo played amazing last april at PF, and actually defended, and stat returning might hold him back in that regard. I've got confidence in Woodson though, the guy knows how to coach.
Probably one of the most emotional games of Lebron's career. Two times in three years he and his Cavs were tormented by the Celtics. Good to see him finally get his revenge.
And now that they've overcome that demon and gone through what they needed to go through, I think the'yre ready. The 2012 NBA Playoffs are going to be special.
LeBron IS a clutch player. He performs well in the 4th qt when necessary. He deserves the MVP award since he's the most dominating player in the NBA on both ends of the floor.
@youngman194 at that moment yes because billups and stoudemire was injured so yea. but once D antoni is gone and we get a nice defensive coach, and a real good point guard( hopefully davis comes thru) we will be ok
In game five in the 2011 NBA playoffs heat vs Celtics, the C's had been held scoreless in the final three minutes on a 16-0 run by the Miami heat,it was James Jones hit a 3 and Chris Bosh with a dunk to even up the score and then LeBron James took over late in the fourth
@J8aller24 but did your team win the finals last year? last time i checked finishing second doesnt count, the way i see it the knicks n miami season ended the same without winning shit
i'm a heat hater but i can't believe that everyone forget this 16-0 run with lebron scoring the last 10 points of the game. This is one of the most amazing close out games in NBA history.
its kinda crazy they lost the finals, Im sure this played a part.
I get goosebumps everytime I see wade get that offensive foul
3:50 Allen thinking of moving to the Miami Heat.
Tech4Geeks wrong year
This is literally one of the Best NBA Moment to me.
Ty Lue, KY and LeBron James all in the same building. Little did they know they would be on the same team.
Where
5:56 Dude is not Kyrie Irving next to Pat Riley?
Holy crap.... Little did he know......
Diego André Pinedo Ávila dang it I was just going to say that?? I am shocked!!
Diego André Pinedo Ávila I think Kyrie just wanted to see how Lebron James plays
He was he was a rookie
he wasnt, he was drafted that year
Only if they won the Finals man
Isaiah Watson yea imagine they won the finals in 2011

the only franchise player in history to get showed up by 2 role players in the Finals during his prime
youtube footage - "Leonard exposes LeBron defense"
In the Last 3 games (3-4-5) of 2014 Finals
- Lebron allowed 13 ppg Kawhi Leonard to average 23.7 ppg on 69% in Games 3-4-5 of Finals - much more efficient than Lebron's 27 ppg on 55% in those 3 games (14% FG difference)
- Lebron also got out rebounded by Leonard 9.3 rpg to 7.7 rpg in those 3 games
- Leonard also outstole Lebron in those 3 games 2.0 spg to 1.7 spg
- Leonard also outblocked Lebron in those 3 games 2.0 bpg to 0.7 bpg
- LeBron also had more than twice as many turnovers as Leonard (3.7 to 1.7)
In those last 3 games, Leonard outrebounded, outblocked, outstole Lebron, scored MUCH more efficiently (14% FG higher than Lebron) and Lebron committed more than twice as many turnovers.
In Game 5 Lebron had 1 FG in the 2nd quarter (2:30 mark) to bring the Heat within 5, and never scored again until the Spurs were up 21 with 4:40 left in the 3rd - definition of stat padding and not delivering when it mattered.

+Lebron Not Top 15 All-time L
Lebron CP3 Sucks why dedicate your life to hating lebron?
Lebron CP3 Sucks oh so he didn‘t show up in 2012,13 and 16 ?
LeBron carried the Heat team all throughout the 2011 playoffs, against Philly, Chicago, Boston, but just fell short in the Finals. This is HIS year!
I like how Doc and Ray stayed to congratulate the Heat.
It's crazy how much Lebron's game has improved from 2011. And you can see the fatigue on his face at ultimately was exploited in the finals with dallas. Dude looks exhausted from playing and pressure that lead up to him having to leave Cleveland.

He was taking all the momentum in. It was so energizing for miami
5:58 Kyrie is that you
It is!!!
Wow. I can never get enough of the American Airlines arena's energy. It's so inspiring.
This game's atmosphere is soooooooo Amazing!
I love Ray Allen. So much respect at the end, good sportsmanship. All you can do sometimes
they just seem like a team tryna win haha.. but back then they seemed like the superteam that everyone wanted to lose
He think he hard
The Real "GOAT"!
I like how you remember the Celtic that was injured, but not how our only big man, Chris Bosh was injured at the beginning of the series, and the Heat's turn around in the series coincided with his return. It wouldn't have gone to 7 games if Bosh was healthy
This broke my heart when this happened
+Maggie Price Celtics had a great run, if they had been healthy they'd have maybe 1 or 2 more championships
Which years?
I swear, no other fan base make the excuse so much like celtics fans. They're a joke.
Michael Carranza im not a celtics fan bud. They probably would've won in 09
Michael Carranza Not too sure why you're so angry
Well the Celtics fan base deserves this again after what they did to Isaiah Thomas leaving I’ve never seen anything more disrespectful to an nba player
Crazy seeing Lue and Kyrie there
Suq Madiq seriously
I admire Wade and Lebrons emotions at the last minutes of this game 'cuz it told me that they're smart basketball players beyond their superb talent and big ego. they knew the C's had give them a hard time in their careers and they took them more serious than any team I ever seen them play against in their time as the big 3.
and it meant so much to them the same way it meant for MJ when he finally got past the Pistons
wade only played the celtics once lol in 2010 in the first round without home court in 5 games... and his team wasnt a contender ......he lost yeah but his team was outmatched....mj lost 3 straight years ...2 times in the conference finals in 7 games to the pistons....not the same...mjs overrated he needed to wait until pippen grew to become what he became to win titles...he needed help too...

after all the times the big 3 of the celtics gave lebron and wade hell individual they give it back to them
now they are getting that ring this year
4:35 is when the whole place imploded!!! XD XD YEA!!! Goosebumps everytime
but but but lebron isn't clutch lol
IKR
L
one game doesn't mean anything lol
338 1024 so this is the only game Lebron has been clutch?
Come on man gtfo
@@lokro2207xdwhat💀
When the offensive foul was called on West, and Wade and LeBron started screaming, that was literally the best moment of my life!
One of the best performances in nba playoff history.
It was good, but 2012 Game 6 was the best in my opinion. Lebron was on a mission and wasn't letting the Heat fall to the Celtics in 6
Is that Kyrie Irving next to Pat Riley? See 6:06
I wanted to see the lakers play Miami this NBA finals
Babahoe_ same bro. Same
Babahoe_ that would have been a sick finals man, Kobe going for his 6th and another 3 peat vs Lebron trying for his 1st
This moment here broke my heart. I haven't seen the Heat fans as crazy as this since their 06 Finals run.. I love the Celtics to death and I can tell that we were the team that the Heat wanted to beat the most. Because of that, I am proud of being a Celtics fan.

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ Is that Kyrie Irving next to Pat Riley 5:58❓❓❓
It was lol
Justin Snyder I never noticed that until just now lol
😂😂bro he’s just standing there
saw irving, also tyron lue as ass coach, and they all now in the same team. who would have thought
So much respect for Doc Rivers and Allen for shaking hands and congratulating the Heat players
sucks that fell short on the finals! Hopefully this year:)( Fingers cross)!! Much RESPECT for Boston Celtics especially Ray Allen and Coach Doc Rivers!! Cant wait for Saturday! PLAYOFFS!!
still watching in 2k16 man should have never left miami
I see Kyrie Irving
Gave me the chills. Hope we finish the job this year. Let's go HEAT
Yeah, about that...
still gives me chills
I am a Kobe and a Lakers Fan for life, but James in this Series was a true MVP and they deserved that win, James was clutch as hell dayummm
@3:20 gave me chills. i've nvr seen a crowd go that nuts.
I absolutely loved this celtics team and this still hurts. lol. but it upsets me how they were always sore losers, mainly kg and rondo (my fav player). everytime they lost they headed immediately to the tunnels while doc and ray complimented the adversary team... sigh
Pedro C. And yet, we never heard them criticized for it. But when Lebron didn't compliment the Magic after losing to them, the media destroyed him.
I hope he can be clutch this year GO HEAT
all i have to say is see you in the ECF. Obviously both teams made good additions and any one of these can go into the finals. just waiting till that postseason
3:23 is amazing. Not only does he hit the shot but the crowds reaction is amazing.
Thank You for saying that he is clutch. Because he is
this is the loudest its been in a while
I like what Lebron did there and it shows that he doesn't choke in the fourth, but people quickly forget about Bosh's performance. For example the dunk he put in after Ray's miss got the Heat fired up again, so it sure helped. It's a team playing out there, no matter how good one of them was.
Oh you right.. i hope they bounce back too and hopefully if they win this series then Bosh will possibly be able to return.
It was 81-87 boston then suddenly its 95-87 heat over thats how underrated lebrons defense is he locked up pierce everytime down floor. People underestimate what lebron brings ti the game. Can just dominate all parts of the game
The King !

One of most dramatic games
Yeah, being clutch is taking the ball when most needed and not being afraid to take the shot and getting it in.
Did you download the full game if so where did you download it from?
This place went crazy !!!
@terminaterjohn What club is that? I havent heard of it before. Where they from?
What a frantic final
Rondos face will always be priceless
Yeah, I really hope they can get themselves into a good rythm and find that chemistry. What's awkward is that melo played amazing last april at PF, and actually defended, and stat returning might hold him back in that regard. I've got confidence in Woodson though, the guy knows how to coach.
It was all going so well :( best of luck to Lebron and the Heat this season.
very exciting
Probably one of the most emotional games of Lebron's career. Two times in three years he and his Cavs were tormented by the Celtics. Good to see him finally get his revenge.
what a beast ass game
that siren is awesome btw
OOOO THERE IT IS
And now that they've overcome that demon and gone through what they needed to go through, I think the'yre ready. The 2012 NBA Playoffs are going to be special.
LeBron IS a clutch player. He performs well in the 4th qt when necessary. He deserves the MVP award since he's the most dominating player in the NBA on both ends of the floor.
legend!
The Lebron look back to Pierce then monster slam is one of the most underrated disrespectful plays in NBA history..

@MusicInsanity24 Which part? Like a time in the vid.
couldn't agree more
i hope this is the Time of Heat Vs Warriors! players Vs Players Coach Vs Coach and Crowd Vs Crowd!!!
Doc is classy as hell
woah didnt even peep this at the time
I wish people would stop fighting and just rejoice to the beautiful game
Honestly, this is my favorite lebron moment...epic.
Is that K. Irving next to Pat Riley 5:58?
@dsmoove480 And did your team make it to the finals last season?
ray allen still showing class and shaking the hands of some of the heat dudes before leaving
I've honestly never heard the crowd louder than on this night.
wow amizing
This Just Look Like A Final Game
yea i think they did but then again i usually dont remember teams who make the eastern conference finals i remember teams who win championships
Best playoffs in the last 10 years
What is the name of the music at 5:50 ? Please tell me!
LMAO I'm a Heat fan and I found this very amusing
KING
Ray Allen and Doc Rivers were the only ones with class after the game to not pout into the locker room.... upmost respect for those two.
These Miami crowds look so sick
goosebumps
yup,my hometown boii!!
Oh my God pity that you dont watch the semis vs Boston and especially vs Bulls in Game 5 too. He was clutch together with Wade. lol!
@youngman194 it's the one where the ceiling is littered by banners. probaly you don't know because you never seen so many in one place!
@J8aller24 but did your team win the finals last year? last time i checked finishing second doesnt count, the way i see it the knicks n miami season ended the same without winning shit
