The chosen one, BECAME THE FROZEN ONE. Never in my life have I seen an NBA superstar choke that hard in the Finals. My GOAT Michael Jeffrey Jordan never once scored under 24 points in a Finals game.
@@WWENBAVideos your so called gambler ball hog had the most meltdown performances in the NBA, but the NBA burnt the tapes so shut the fuck up. You remember when he had 8 points and when he got swept in the first rounds year after year. Educate yourself about the NBA history before running your smelling mouth, you troll and get a life. looser
I remember an interview back in 2013 when Lebron said he didn’t play with a loving passion of the game back in the 2010-2011 season. He said he played it out of anger since he was the villain of the nba. You could see it in his body gestures and plays that he was always pissed off. I feel like that was his downside in the finals because his emotions got to him and he couldn’t focus.
I'm a Lebron fan and that don't make no sense. He did say it but which villain will be standing around confuse. He would be going all out shooting a bunch of bricks at that. His Eastern conference run was one of the greatest on both ends. That Finals can't be no villain.
@@tyronetillet619 he choked on purpose so wade wouldn’t win finals mvp and the narrative would be wade carried him lefraud is a pussy don’t know y ur a fan smh
@@eazyduzit-tr3nx yes he did and he was right. The same people hatin on him have nothing going for them in life. And when you lose you cant dwell on it too much. You move and plan for a better game.
NightOwl How do you or LBJ know the same people “hating” on him have nothing going on in their life? It’s just the way it is at times, players have fans who dislike them and love them, he focused on the ones who dislike him too much. Point is any loss he has it seems he can’t deal with it. You’re right though, if you lose, learn from it and keep it moving. No need for all that “well I’m rich and you’re not” mentality.
joshua adams those are different. Those are like LeBron’s 2007 Finals. They just played bad but they didn’t wet the bed like LeBum did in this here Finals
James's headband was literally at like a 60 degree angle on his head. Great post season performance by him, but i do think he and the Heat underestimated the Mav's
Lebron just honestly believed it would be a cake walk and he wouldn’t have to try . Shows what determination will do for you. Him and Dwade were making jokes while 30+ Dirk Jkidd and Jason Terry put in work!!
Beating those Philly, Boston and Chicago teams was quite a very good and underestimated run, probably the hardest he faced in the east. It's also interesting to see how his style of play was still closer to young Lebron, with a lot of energy but also very raw. He really reached another level on his comeback to the Cavs, since then his game is way more chirurgical, every movement he does seems calculated to be efficient.
The regular season was pretty eh. They struggled at the beginning and the offense didn’t look as crisp as in 2012 and 2013, but he did play well in the eastern conference part of the playoffs, especially against the team seen as public enemy number 1, the Celtics. People give Lebron too much credit for guarding Rose, Wade guarding him way more.
LeBron could’ve been that much closer to the GOAT title had he taken care of business in the 2011 Finals. He was up 2-1 against an aging Mavericks team for god’s sake, you gotta close that deal. It’ll forever be a huge stain on his legacy.
PG 13daGoat That comeback has an asterisk next to it. The Warriors were not 100% the last 3 games and had their best all-around player suspended for one full Finals game.
@@strive4greatness238 a team that was always overrated. They won their chip because of injuries, then lebron won cuz of a suspension, then durant joined 4 other stars. Wowwwwwww shut yo ass up.
PG 13daGoat aint nothing in the world gonna overshadow the so called “goat” in his prime having an 8pt final game and averaging 17ppg in the same series 😂
He played so many anger, hate in this year to be able to prove that he is the best player but he failed, but the following year, he redeemed himself and win the MVP, Finals MVP and his elusive title that he's desperately needed.
LeBron was killing all playoffs until the Finals. His legacy would be very different if he didn't choke that year. I think A LOT more people would have him as the GOAT otherwise
Easily should’ve Gentlemen swepted them, cockiness engulfed the Heat and humbled them hard af, but it’s what created Villian LeBron and his mentality from that loss
Donna Dunbar Lebron scores or assisted on 22/30 points. He scored 16 4th quarter played clutch defense. Go watch the game 😂 he brought them back in the game and Kawhi choked a free throw. Lebron had a triple double I believe and shot 5-10 from 3. Outside of the Ray Allen shot what did he do the whole game?
That opening statement is legendary. Always been ahead of everyone else in terms of success and growth. Haters don’t understand or maybe don’t appreciate the grind enough.
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T To be fair he was never in the goat convo at that time either, but this definitely should’ve shut down any further ones yet somehow Bron groupies are trying so hard to this day as if he is or even close to MJ.
Barron Wright That’s the media for ya. Kobe got the same treatment, he was always compared to MJ, like always. He retired and they stopped and found a new player. Same shit is gonna happen to LBJ once he declines/retires, they’re gonna find a new player to jump on to compare to MJ the goat. Short answer...nobody is close to MJ or better, it’s the media doing this for ratings.
Don’t forget that kobe has a single digit finals game (36 minutes), Kareem scores 6 one game in the 82 finals, and Steph has multiple 11 point finals games as well. Kyrie also has a single digit finals game. One game does not define a career. LeBron led this series in assists and played horrible for his standards but in no way does his game 4 eliminate him from the goat discussion. If it does then Kareem (most mvps ever, all time scorer) is eliminated as well as kobe. This narrative just has no support.
Ln D He’s not in the goat discussion everyone with commen sense knows Mj is far superior to Lebron. 3-6 in finals, gets outplayed by a role player in the 2011 finals, and gets swept twice, one being by a record margin.
Ln D None of those players were the clear best player going into the finals and then got outscored by 4 players, one who was a bench player. “His standards”?? he straight up played below his average, and like I mentioned got outscored by 4 players. It’s funny how one finals series win (2016) can somehow put a man into the goat conversation in the eyes of LBJ fans but a bad finals series loss doesn’t....makes sense huh? And for the record, LBJ is nowhere near MJ. He wasn’t in the goat conversation during 2011 and he sure as hell shouldn’t be today but you know the media loves these things.
KOBEFOREVER-#HOKAGE well the first time he went to the finals.. his best player was averaging just over 14 points a game.... idk how the hell he made it to the finals with a squad of pure ass but he carried the shit outta them day in and day out
@@eazyduzit-tr3nx Lebron’s 3-1 comeback against golden state put him back in the convo for me. Especially now. And if he wins his 5th, he’ll be just behind MJ.
Reg. SZN:He averaged 27-7-7 on 51/33/76% leading the Heat to a 58-24 record putting them second in the eastern conference. He had 9 games in which he had at least 35 points while at least shooting 50%, 8 games in which he shot at least 40% from 3 while attempting at least 6. Got robbed of an MVP Playoffs:He beat the 7th seed 76ers in 5 averaging 24-10-6 on 42-25-82%. Then he beat the team that sent him to Miami in 5. Averaging 28-8-3 on 47/44/67%, hitting 3 clutch 3’s to ice the series. Then beat the reigning and defending league MVP in 5, averaging 26-8-6 on 45/39/86%. While “MvP RoSe” shot 35/23/81%. Then in game 1 of the finals LeBron leads the Heat to a win putting up 24-9-5 on 56/80/100%. Then the rest is history.
Tyler Jones That’s you though. We all know LBJ likes to control the narrative. Had Miami won Wade would’ve been finals MVP and LBJ would’ve looked real bad here. Still through, Mavs were better and he choked, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was LBJ’s intentions.
It’s weird how 4 years before this he puts in one of the all time clutch performances, I guess it’s different pressure when you aren’t the underdog, same thing happened to kawhi this season. I think lebron developed into one of the most clutch players of all time.
@@PetrMitrik That’s true….But let’s be real Dallas won in 6 games , If Lebron plays even remotely close to how he played in the playoffs in that Finals Series They Beat Dallas in 5 games . Gotta Remember this was Dwyane wade before his Knees started Giving out
That's the only thing thing they can bring up on Lebrons long damn near impeccable NBA career. Your sad asf when you have to bring up one false narrative all the time but dont ever bring up the crucial fact & truth.🤔🤦♂️
@@H4DI_8 ok go ahead bring up another mans achievements. Jordan didn't have a single ring without pippen and Phil Jackson. Kobe was riding the coattail of the most dominant big man to ever step foot in the paint dumb shit. See how your points are so invalid now...
I'm telling y'all SOMETHING happened off the court to LeBron after Game 3...notice how different his energy was? And he was celebrating as much as he was when made a basket or a dunk or anything, something definitely affected him mentally after Game 3.
What’s weird is lebron was still efficient in the Mavs series he just stopped taking shots and to this day I don’t get why. Maybe he’ll tell us when he retires idk.
Looking at these highlights, LeBron played so well in the playoffs. But it was that Finals series that he performed terribly. A major hit on his career. I just don't understand why LeBron played so poorly. Maybe it really does have to do with Dallas but seeing as how the Mavericks performed, you'd expect LeBron to do so well against them. After that Finals, I think it's quite clear that LeBron learned something, making him one of the greatest playoffs and finals(even if he has 6 finals losses) performers to ever play the game. If LeBron just did better in that series, he would've had 4 rings.

As dominant as he’s been this might have been the last run before he really started posting up, that unlocked his game and how he dominated Durant the next year too get his first ring.
Looking back, he def looks like he was def playing with a chip on his shoulders that playoffs. Like he had something to prove, compared to his first stint in cleveland vs what he became after he lost. I say him losing that finals took him to another level, cuz he had to reflect on himself and better his game. Idk if he would of been nearly as complete as he now if he just steamrolled through dallas like most people figured he would that. Even i thought miami would As a heat fan, 2014 stung more than this one. Im not even mad they lost this finals, they kind of deserved it karma wise
You can tell when reporter asked if he was bothered by people wanting him to fail that it killed him! His words said one thing, his face and body language said the truth.
NICE HIGHLIGHTS VIDEO! Even though I'm not a HUGE fan of LEBRON I do admit that he is currently THE BEST player in The NBA, even if he failed to make the playoffs!
I see it when LeBron said he was playing Angry this year and needed to go back to himself and you can tell when he celebrated it was like he was out to prove something which he was but I hate that it got to his head and at that time made him someone who he wasn't on the court, he didnt know how to be dominant humbly. He did it every year before that but you can tell in this year he embraced being the villain. Him being the most scrutinized athlete in this media era he's the first person to ever deal with that kind of slander, and he was so young making it to the finals early put more pressure on him than he needed at that young age. But this year definitely made him better and he's been a different player since. He wasn't free mentally here, I seen his journey from the beginning you had to be there to understand the pressure the media put on him since he was young that Jordan and Kobe never dealt with.
He played good game 1, ok in game 2 and good in game 6 of the finals, it was the 3 straight games in Dallas he melted, idk what happened to him after game 2
@@bigty390 Stop it... The mere idea of a multimillionaire getting paid 35 million dollars a year choking in purpose to get more money is ridiculous, and even more if you consider the fact that he ruined his entire legacy and earned tons of disrespect because of it.
Lebron came out game 1 of these finals ballin. From there on Wade out shined him & it made Lebron less aggressive & it threw his game off. Lebron was on a mission that whole season & playoffs that 2011 Heat team destroyed their opponents in the playoffs defeating the 76ers 4-1 Celtics 4-1 & Bulls 4-1.
2013 Lebron was the greatest player ever. Defense and offense he was ahead of everyone. They robbed him of DPOY so that they could say he wasn't good at defense.
