Smdh sad. Idolization of anything other than God is a straight up sin especially for that loser. Too bad he couldn't be clutch last night against the grizzlies.smdh bum..😅😂😂
Young Lebron was something else. One of the most dominant forces we have *ever* seen. Not many players from the past can say they've had even *half* the success LBJ has had being drafted right out of HS.
Well that's because half the players drafted out of highschool we now know shouldn't of been drafted outta high school. Moses Malone KG and Sean Kemp in that order are the top 3 drafted out of HS. all had more meanful careers to the NBA than lebron
How is The Block not in here??? We can also include all the assists that went to clutch baskets by teammates? The right play is the right play. Clutch doesn't just mean being the one to hit the shot.
LiBian Xiames didn't dominate anything. Lost 6 Finals. Destroyed by a record margin in the Finals. Needed Superteams to win anything. No 3peat. No dynasty. You LeeBon Xiames fans are so dumb and low standards.
Thing with LeBron is that he has adapted to every era he was in. early 2000s physicality? Been there, dominated even. Positionless Basketball? Check. Three point shooting era? Still up there. Man, what a versatile player.
That whole 2018 playoff run was the greatest single person run I’ve ever seen and I watched Jordan’s playoff runs. Lucky to have seen both play at high level.
he is an amazing basketball and the 2nd greatest of all time but he rlly didnt change the game did he? i mean he kinda mixed his game with like MJ then added like a good center play to make him dominant.
@@whoknows20232 lmfaooo ur clearly a casual what did Lebron not change? He is the most powerful basketball player in the world has been for almost 2 decades not only off the court but he also changed the nba he gave power to the players when he left for Miami in 2010 he changed the dynamic of the nba with people signing to other teams to form super teams, block buster trades etc the nba today would not be the way it is had Lebron not joined Miami in 2010
@@dominicbowie092 and u think thats a good thing? do u really think the NBA is more competitive now than it was in the 2000s or the 90s? You are kidding yourself, we had the same player in the finals like 10 times in a row, nobody wants to see that. The development is really bad for the sport, take a look at the numbers, they are constantly going down. plus, what has he done with being the "most powerful NBA player". He has sucked up to China, nothing else. Look at his recent covid tweet, the "you're next" for the cop who didn't do anything. He's just an awful human being, don't even get me started how he humiliated his family with his affair with Rihanna.
Happy 37th Birthday to the one and only King in LeBron James. Man you're definitely one of my all-time favorite players. My birthday wish for you is to finish your career with a winning record in the NBA Finals.
His highlight reels usually omit his clutch shots from his early days (03/04 - 06/07 seasons). I've been watching since way back near the beginning of his career so I remember he had several OT-forcing and go-ahead shots in those years too, but only saw 1 of them included in this video
I admit I was a hater for his move to the Heat (2010) but returning to the Cavs made me think again about James. The 2016 title will forever remain his best sporting achievement
Love how the first 2 clips are from one of his last playoff seasons and one of his first playoff seasons just to show how he’s been clutch the whole time
I remember being a die hard Kobe fan growing up and always rooting against Lebron and hoping he did terrible so I could feel good chanting my Kobe is better mantra. Now after all these years and being less biased now, I think its undeniable that Lebron is better than Kobe. Granted I still think Kobe had a better 1-on-1 scoring skillset and post move-set/better footwork, but Lebron's size and athleticism along with his astute decision making on the court takes him to another level. RIP Mamba though. Still love you.
Thank you; I have much respect for someone like you. Sadly most Kobe idolaters would never be man enough to admit their obvious bias, which skews their opinion.
@@stephenr80 Dude this is what I tell all LeBron haters.He makes his teammates better.Look @ how many average players who played with him had their best season ever and got a big payday the next year.
Wait, shouldn't this video just be blank? With all the people that have told me LeBron can't be clutch I could have sworn there weren't any clutch career moments.
LEBRON IS THE GOAT ..Lebron James beat jordan and Kobe's record in points without the need to make the number of shots they made .. (1240 fewer shots, and Lebron had already passed jordan) .. means that lebron has more effectiveness to score. ..for those who do not understand, that means that for every hundred shots, lebron was more successful than jordan and Kobe ... and also beating them in assists, !! And not only that, also having more offensive and defensive rebounds .. Lebron James is simply an unprecedented player, and his records keep taking off more and more ... his versatility, speed and strength allow him to play all positions- point guard, shooting guard, forward, forward pivot ... things that neither jordan Neither Kobe, Malone, Magic, nor anyone else could ever do.
People need to appreciate him more while he's around the game.. It's ridiculous how much he has given to the sport, He's done it all yet plays with the same hunger every night. Blessed to be a Bron fan since day one.
Since 2003-04 NBA season Lebronze has attempted 107 FGs during last 5 second of reg season game and made 19 shots. That translates to 17.8% FG and 12.5% from 3 during his clutch time.
I find it funny that people claim that LeBron didn't have that "killer instinct" when he first came into the league and that he supposedly didn't develope it until his Miami days, yet he had 2 game winners in his very first playoff series ever in 2006 and in game 5 of the 2007 ECF he had the greatest takeover/clutch performance in NBA history. Clowns will be clowns though... What can I say? 🤷♂️
The reason why people don’t discredit Kobe Or Jordan for messing up in clutch time is because they have always been loved by fans, no matter what Lebron does he will always be hated because of his Miami decision and because people thought it was rude coming from highschool to take starter it doesn’t matter what lebron accomplishes people will always disrespect him.
The things that this player does on the court just makes me happy as a NBA fan. Watching him play gives me a high that I’m really really grateful for! The day that LBJ decides to go into retirement and plays his last and final NBA game will be a sad day for the NBA and sports in general. There will never be another nba player that captivates you off your seat or wherever you are witnessing what he does on the basketball court. To me, LEBRON JAMES IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER TO HAVE EVER PLAYED BALL. One of the endless reasons or facts on why he is the greatest is his longevity, and his consistency he is 37 yrs old and still playing at a ridiculous pace. Old lebron is literally better than even everyone below top 3 in 2024. People can hate lebron as much as they want and argue or create false realities about the GOAT but you people know damn well that he’s doing things you wished your favorite player can do. I believe that when lebron hangs it up, all the lebron haters will miss him and respect him more than now.
LeBron James, the "Chosen One," has left an indelible mark on the world of basketball. His career, which began in 2003 when he was selected as the first overall pick in the NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, has since become a remarkable journey filled with championships, records, and a lasting impact on the sport. This essay explores LeBron James' extraordinary basketball career, tracing his path from a promising high school prospect to an NBA legend. LeBron's high school years were filled with anticipation and scrutiny. He attended St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, where he quickly became a basketball sensation. In his junior year, he was named to the USA Today All-USA First Team, and in his senior year, he was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year. The world watched as a young LeBron, with an unmatched combination of size, skill, and athleticism, displayed the potential to change the landscape of the NBA. In 2003, LeBron fulfilled the expectations placed upon him when the Cleveland Cavaliers selected him as the top pick in the NBA Draft. From the very beginning, he showcased his prodigious talent, winning the NBA Rookie of the Year award. His impact on the Cavaliers was immediate, as he led the team to the playoffs in his second season. LeBron's career continued to ascend as he moved on to the Miami Heat in 2010, forming a star-studded trio with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. During his four-year tenure with the Heat, he won two NBA championships, solidifying his status as one of the league's elite players. His return to the Cavaliers in 2014 brought unprecedented joy to the city of Cleveland, as he led the team to its first-ever NBA championship in 2016, fulfilling a promise to deliver a title to his home state. In 2018, LeBron made another significant move, this time to the Los Angeles Lakers. In his second season with the team, he secured his fourth NBA championship, further adding to his legacy. Along the way, he continued to set numerous records, including becoming the youngest player to reach 30,000 career points, and ranking among the all-time leaders in points, assists, and triple-doubles. What truly sets LeBron James apart is his ability to impact a game in every facet. He's a prolific scorer, an exceptional playmaker, a tenacious defender, and a clutch performer. His versatility allows him to fill various roles on the court, and his basketball IQ is second to none. LeBron's leadership and unselfishness are also central to his success. He is known for making his teammates better, facilitating ball movement, and being a vocal presence on and off the court. This leadership has been evident in his ability to carry his teams to numerous NBA Finals appearances. Off the court, LeBron's philanthropic work, activism, and community involvement have further solidified his place as a beloved figure. His efforts to address social issues, support educational initiatives, and empower underserved communities are as remarkable as his basketball prowess. In conclusion, LeBron James' basketball career is a testament to his extraordinary talent, relentless work ethic, and commitment to excellence. From a high school prodigy to an NBA legend, LeBron's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. His impact extends beyond the hardwood, as he continues to inspire and contribute to positive change in the world. As he continues his career, there's no doubt that he will remain a source of inspiration for aspiring athletes and a beacon of excellence in the basketball world.
5:45 I know it’s not the most exciting game winner, but it’s by far the best designed game winner. Such a well disguised play drawn by coach Spo that it completely opened up the lane for Lebron to go 1 on 1 with George. Just drawn and executed to perfection.
I’ll never forget being in class when my friend told me cavs were getting lebron. I was 12 years old. He’s my childhood sports icon and he’s done nothing but exceed impossible expectations on and off the court. If you hate this man you don’t love basketball. It’s gonna be one of the saddest days in NBA history when he retires. Just like there will never be another Michael Jordan, there will never be another LeBron.
Started watching basketball when I was 4 and that was 2010 and Bron was and his prime 12 years later he is still in his prime and still my favorite player all time.
@@judahmourneth1466 as the largest underdogs ever when nobody even thought they had a chance anyways, if we’re just bringing up pointless losses I would like you to remind me how KD and Steph got slapped up for years by numerous teams
Bro literally just ran off like 30 PLAYOFF game winners. I can’t imagine how many regular season game winners he has. Fan or not it’s hard to dispute his impact. We are really WITNESSING greatness. Still. At 38!!
I was 15 when I watched the 2016 NBA finals , watching LeBron and Kyrie carry there team from a 3 - 1 deficit was my favorite memory of all time when It comes to basketball
I was 3 when lebron came into the league, 20 years later and this man is still amazing. Im not a fan of lebron but I find it interesting to hate this level of greatness.
Most of my life since 8th grade I didn't root for him...whether it's because Kobe was still in his prime an considered a killer or w/e reason or because everyone after the draft jumped on his bandwagon an not Melo's. He May be the greatest talent in NBA history and one of the greatest role models and dealt with the most scrutiny in NBA history. Salute to King James
The younger generation/pre social media boom, didn't witness the early years of LeBron with the Cavs and how he carried that franchise by himself at a young age for 7 seasons, even taking a complete bum team to the Finals in 2007.
I'm a huge Lebron fan, but there's definitely something quite funny about this being posted the day after he failed to get a shot up and turned the ball over on the final possession vs the Grizzlies😂
It's crazy how LeBron has been playing at such a high level since back when you could count the number of pixels on the tv screen and he still is to this day.
