How Lebron James RUINED the NBA FOREVER! 

bro as soon as i heard the cleveland slander I KNEW JOAKIM CLIP WAS COMING

The KD decision was crazy but i'm not mad at anyone wanting to take control of their career. Over time Lebron did get heavy handed with the gm things but how can we fault him for taking himself out of purgatory to win a chip and going back to the trash team to get them a ring lol

I remember vividly being shocked that Lebron left for Miami but not mad cause we all knew how bad Cleveland was outside of him for a decade. I was mad at KD not because he left (I can understand and respect that) but he left for the team that HE blew a 3-1 lead on. Imagine bron losing to Boston and he’s like okay I’ll go there THE NEXT YEAR. Kd is lucky people don’t really hold that on him anymore. All that said KD is a great but his move and bron was way different in their own ways

So sad to see KD being a ridiculously expensive rental. He left the Warriors to try and prove that he can lead a team to a ship, yet never tried to win without a superteam. His career accomplisment is him taking Harden and Westbrook to a finals when they were underrated.

Homegrown teams are just better

Imagine thinking the 2022 warriors are a superteam 😂😂

I appreciate u not lying and admitting the 2014-2017 Cavs we're a superteam. Lotta cap going on with bron boys lol

The firing of Kenny Atkinson on the Nets was such a stupid move. The guy got the Nets to the playoffs with DLo as the best player. Frickin' DLo. They also should've kept Allen. What a dumb organization.

As a Cavs fan, that day hurt my heart.

player empowerment movement never existed. Superstar empowerment would be the correct term.

I would like to give myself a shoutout since I suggested the topic for this video in the community post.

The celtics made that team a "super team." Orlando almost did it with tim duncan and tracy, grant hill.

I wish people would stop comparing the 2 moves, lebron had to move teams because the Cavs refused to give him an actual 2nd star and KD had the perfect team to even beat that same team he joined but blew it and joined the same damn team that beat him 3-1 like cmon that shit that happens on the playground in elementary and the Miami heat weren’t flat out unstoppable because they didn’t have the best bench unlike golden state with KD which had a good bench and coaching basically all star teams.

He changed the league for the worst? So players should go back to staying on dead end franchises wasting their prime while ownership reaps all the benefits only to get rid of the stars when they’re no longer profitable?

More like how the Cavs ruined the nba, should have gotten Bron some damn health lol

Stephen A commenting Durant joining GSW was the longest time he ever kept talking without saying anything stupid on purpose.

The Celtics changed the league for the worst everyone loves to blame lebron trying to put a stain on his legacy just because the world doesn’t want him to be better then Jordan it’s over there was nothing that could stop him from being better yes I’m speaking in past tense because he’s past Jordan

I love how your intro is your highlights mixed in with nba highlights. Wtf 😂

another great vid alvini!

Kanye best album was "college dropout"

As a matter of fact Lebron is directly responsible for the 2016 Warriors. Lebron was the VP of the NBPA and he and the organization rejected the salary smoothing in 2015 which meant the salary cap had a huge increase the filling year, that increase was the only reason the warriors could afford to sign KD 😂😂. So either way you gotta blame Lebron 🤷🏾‍♂️

I agree with the 1st thing you said also to my knowledge no one wanted to go to cavs.

The nets failed because of deron Williams. He was looked at as a top 10 maybe top 6 pg in the league. His whole time on the nets besides maybe his first year he never played anywhere close to that level. Some many say injuries but Paul pierce says something different. I do think that nets team could of been way better if deron played anywhere near his Utah level

I got banned from NBAreddit bc people kept downvoting my takes and getting my posts removed, but this man who gets paid to talk about sports just said that one day LaMelo Ball will have the same amount of power as LeBron 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 Don't forget, Minnesota screwed up Garnett's time there tampering with joe Smith. They lost a bunch of picks and handcuffed themselves in the dumbest way for an average player. I didn't watch THE DECISION live and I always assumed it was a really bad pr move on Lebron's part and obviously it was but seeing the bit now that you put in your video, why tf did the man ask if LeBron is a nail biter? His tone was so condescending. I kinda understand why LeBron seems to think that people didn't like the Decision bc it was a young black man wielding power, bc that was the tone i got from that interview but c'mon man, that isn't why the majority of people were rubbed the wrong way by the whole thing. I'm a Warriors fan, have been since Latrell Sprewell so I've suffered haha but yeah the KD was hella soft and whats worse is it ruined a rare pure thing that came together in sports and the worst was the timing. If you're the Warriors execs, you just don't follow up a season like 2016 with a move like that. The highest high, the stunning disappointment at the end. No, you absolutely have to run it back, give them a chance to respond. These are athletes, this is how they are wired. That was the move a chess ai would make. Clearly, you have a chance to obtain Kevin Durant you do it right? Statistically. Yes it is the obvious correct move. And it paid off with two rings and who knows how many in perpetuity barring the injuries that happened. The warriors could be on a 6peat by now, like the Heatles promised for themselves. But that just goes to show that there is a tremendous amount of humanity in sports. For what it's worth, I forgive and understand the move from KD's perspective bc he is an actual basketball head. I think that for KD he was looking at Golden State as the perfect system for a player like him, and that is absolutely correct. Again as a warrior fan, I definitely enjoyed watching the basketball they played. Basketball is a separate thing from the NBA. Think of it like fighting and WWE or UFC. These are entertainment businesses that take advantage of the fact that people enjoy watching fights, but it's not a real fight. I mean, it is but it isn't. An NBA game is not a real basketball game. It is but it isn't. I think KD was a bit naive and was thinking he could go to Oakland and play real basketball, and he kinda did, but that move definitely assassinated the NBA as far as being an entertainment businesses. In other words, basketball definitely won, the NBA/the Warriors organization definitely lost One more thing, maybe everything that's happened since 2008 or 2010 or whenever you want to start talking about superteams doesn't have that much to do with LeBron. Maybe players who are actually concurrently in the league aren't all that influenced by LeBron. Their situations are unique. What has changed is money and cap space rules and all that. The KD move is possible bc of an anomaly in the cap space system. This would probably happen any given year if there was a similar leap in signing power for contending teams. It just so happens that KD was the biggest fish when the big net actually opened a little. If I'm not mistaken, Ben Simmons makes more than Jordan ever made. Steph and Dame et al will make 60M in a year at some point. That changes the game. I don't think anyone is looking at what LeBron is doing or saying, they're looking at what Steph is making bc the NBA is an ATM in the shape of a basketball arena

Evan Turner voice be having be crying 😂

22:35 That guy in the middle is a nimrod.

Bro keep up the hard work always you make some of the best, most well researched NBA content 🤙

Will anybody admit that a KD, Steph, Klay plus Dray, iggy, Shaun, Bogut vs LeBron, Kyrie, Love plus J.R., TT, Iman, RJ is very close in talent or that’s big cap Cavs just ass lol.

evan turner wild 😂

Some of y'all are crazy. Imagine not having any say on where you want to play even after you contract ended. Players were basically just being held captive by GMs, owners, and fans before Lebron. That's wild.

This is the biggest reason why Michael Jordan is (and forever will be) the GOAT of basketball.

Nash was 38 lololo his tires were flat. I forgot how happy people were. I knew they had no chance. Kobe also was a step slower. And that hurts to say

IT started with Barkley Olajuwan Drexler , and Kobe Nash and Howard, then KG Allen and Pierce

It would of been sweet if Bosh & Wade would of went to the Cavaliers. But i guess it was not possible

AARP membership, like your gonna live forever.

Evan turner sound like lil yachty

LeBron walked so Durant could run.

its not who did it after Lebron that’s significant..what’s significant and more relevant is who started the jumping from team to team making super teams and ring chasing and that’s Lebron James.

Russ also aint the best secondary star, and Russ gets celebrated for barely being above 500 with the same team that was supposed to be good enough for KD. KD shouldve went to a different team that fit him better, but his move out of okc is justified. Building around 2 players don't end well, ask the 76ers with embiid and simmons

lebron left a Cavs team he carry myself and went to the championship and playoffs so I had a reason to leave that team shit it was me I would to and him and Cavs owners was beef so that a another reason and him joining the heat was not bad the heat was like 40-42 or 42-20 so lebron had the right to leave and bosh was on raptors at the time and it was same thing for him so it just make sense to all team up

I always wondered why lebron and dwade chose miami instead of like chicago or new york

ALVINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Bron did it the right way - he waited until his contract was up, and then chose Miami. Other players do it the wrong way by sitting out, demanding trades, etc.

K lol Coulda went to NYK. Thats it.

Pure Kino

Listen, I’m from Ohio, I live about 45 minutes away from Cleveland. 30 minutes from Akron. I remember LeBron leaving when I was a kid (I was born in 2001), and I never took it as badly as those dudes in that clip. Admittedly I wasn’t as into basketball back then as I am now. But when I saw people on the news burning their jerseys and shit, I always thought it was stupid. Like it’s not that deep bro. Let the man go where he wants to go. Realistically he was never going to win at that time with the pieces that were around him. The organization was more so doing HIM a disservice by not giving him good personnel, rather than him doing us a disservice by leaving. At the end of the day, NBA players play to win championships, not rot away in a small market wasting their talents, just to be loyal to their hometown. It’s not that hard to rationalize. I know people that still hate LeBron to this day even though he came back and gave us a championship. It’s just sad bro, you can’t please anybody. Shout out to a GOAT, King James 👑 .

Ring chasers

When Lebron left Cleveland, he didn't join Boston, he formed his own team. He never requested a trade and he won every single place he signed, regardless of how little of a future he left any team. Lakers, Heat, Cavs were nowhere *NEAR* a championship when Lebron got there and until they do, there is absolutely no argument against Lebron's management. And no, KD's decision to leave wasn't even remotely close to Lebron's and none of you actually believe it was.

i know for a fact this vid was made before

I absolutely loved the LeBron Janes decision. The whole thing was hyped up because people in the media thought he was going to the New York Knicks. You could hear a pin drop when James picked Miami. I was for real ROFL. 😂😂😂😂

This is lame super teams didn’t start in this era lol 😆

Hey vini

I dont think you need to use full old clips dude. I literally caught myself thinking why am i watching an old steven a clip? I liked what i was watching. Cool video though. Anybody that wasnt watching back when steven a said that doesnt have the attention span to watch a 38 min video anyway.

🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜

Bucks weren't really organic when 2 of their top 4 players were gotten via trade.

Lebron's era of the NBA was terrible. How much better is this year since any team can win it this year. LeBron =era of super teams

Dan Gilbert wrote a letter saying cavs will win before LBJ 😂😂 LBJ returns and won one

Ummmm ya do know kareem played with magic and worthy! Lakers had a super team in the 80s and so did the Celtics! Hence why they met in the finals a bunch of times! Before that kareem played with the big O! Dr j played with Moses Malone! Players have always moved around, and player have always seeked to form better teams to win championships! The take the Lebron started this is lazy and ridiculous. You said shaq going to LA and then them drafting Kobe was rare! But that’s almost exactly what happened when Kareem went to the lakers in the 80s… they then drafted magic. This is laughable…. There has always been super teams in the NBA! Wilt played with Jerry west and Elgin Baylor! But they couldn’t beat the stack Celtics back then! But according to a lot of people Lebron started this whole super team thing 😆 the rockets literally had Hakeem, Barkley, and pippen for a year! What would you call that? A damn super team in the 90s! And before pippen Clyde Drexler was on that team! It’s insane to think that Lebron started that trend! Players have always moved!

This dude is clearly biased

I don't care that LeBron left Cleveland, I care that he needed to play with Wade & Bosh & Ray Allen to win. None of the Miami rings count on LeBrons resume. I'll give him the 1 in Cleveland and the 1 in LA. So he has 2 rings... That's it. Solid player but barely top 10 of all time

Lmao the amount of passion these fans have
