LeBron James Full Highlights 2007 ECF G5 at Pistons - 48 Pts, Scores Last 25 Pts, Must Watch!!! 

LeBron haters avoid this video like the plague LMAO

He was 4 years removed from High School at this stage of his career, he really is a one of a kind talent.

“He has scored 29 of the last 30 for Cleveland”.

LeBron was only 22...

4th year in the NBA. Enough said.

That last play, he has all 5 pistons guarding him, completely ignoring the other cavaliers and he still scores. This performance was amazing.

This should be called Lebron James vs the pistons. The guy poured his heart out in this game

Took a bunch of no names to the finals...people take his greatness for granted

The most dominating performance I've ever seen. Scoring 29 of your team's final 30 points to get the victory. That's unheard of. I couldn't believe what had happened even after the game ended.

Pistons vs. Lebron James

Versions of Lebron 1.) Slim 18 year old Lebron 2.) First Finals Nimble Extremely Good 22 year old Lebron 3.) First MVP grown man Lebron 4.) Evil Miami Heat GOAT Lebron 5.) No Headband 3-1 Lead All Around Lebron 6.) No Headband 33 year old Tank Lebron 7.) ALL TIME LEADING SCORER IN NBA HISTORY even though he isn't a "scorer" with Kareem hating Lebron

I’m a massive pistons fan my whole life, Lebron devastated me as a kid. I remember watching this game and crying, yelling at the screen “just put the whole team on him.”

I guess the league was soft than too right?? Lol the excuses they give to dismiss LeBron greatness.

15 years later and still the greatest performance I've seen a singular athlete have in my life. This man is unbelievably good. I'm so lucky to have been able to watch his whole career

People almost forgot how strong and fast lebron was when he was young, like nobody can stop him on a transition.

We take this man for granted. Whether he gets 6 or not he's carved his place on mt. Rush more. We will never see another Lebron James just like we will never see another wilt, Jordan, magic, bird, or Kareem. They are all original one of a kind basketball gods in their own unique ways but one thing is consistent and that's that each one ruled this league with an iron fist in their times. Appreciate the man while he's still with us. Coming from a die hard wizards fan who still hasn't got over the mid 2000s series where he carried a sorry ass teams to play the juggernaut known as the spurs by himself.

Don't ever compare Kawhi Leonard to Lebron James ever again.

I'm only gonna say this once...WE WILL NEVER EVER SEE ANYONE ELSE LIKE THIS MAN EVER AGAIN PERIOD

This was the clutchest performance eveerrrr.

One of the greatest performances ever. This was legendary.

I will never forget this game and being in awe watching it. Dominated a whole team by himself.

Who’s here bored af since Corona canceled the league

That Cavs team was complete trash, people like to say that Paul George should leave the pacers or AD should leave the pelicans to win a chip but they call Lebron a traitor for leaving the Cavs, what they don't understand is that Cavs team was even worse than the pacers or pelicans, he got no help whatsoever so he had to leave to win a chip. If the management just gave Lebron one more good player, didn't even need to be an all star, someone comparable to a CJ McCollum today and he would have won a championship between 07-10.

Who’s hear after Lebron gets his 4th ring 🐐🐐🐐

He is clutch

4 years later, straight outta high school...like a senior this is the game where LeBron James, became *KING.*

This is the game that made me a Lebron fan you couldn’t deny the greatness

This is crazy. Still stands as possibly his most impressive and greatest game of all time 👑👑👑👑

i believe that was steve kerr who said "very jordanesque"

Here watching this in 2020 after Kyrie said KD is the only clutch teammate he’s ever had. Ok

I remember watching this as a kid and I was like wow Im finna start playing basketball and he been my favorite player ever since

How many SF/PF sized guys can beat point guards off the dribble with no screens like he was doing.

The greatest playoff performance of all time. Absolutely unreal

There was absolutely nothing they could do to stop him. This is like watching a real life superhero. Still unbelievable to watch this.

Enjoy Lebron before he's gone. I didn't appreciate Kobe's game when he was still playing and now all I do is watch Kobe highlights

For all those old heads who say the modern generation wouldnt last in 90s generation. Let this montage be a prime example of how modern NBA players are just in a whole other league compared to the players of the past. Lebron single handedly took down the Pistons who are very much the embodiment of 80s and 90s basketball... They play with a very traditional style of basketball with coach Larry Brown meaning they didn't shoot a lot of 3s, they play physical/ hard nose basketball, and have very traditional roles. Ben Wallace - Physically imposing, and regarded as the best defensive center in NBA history, Rasheed Wallace - Hard nose, archetype stretch 4 with a post game, Rip Hamilton - One of the top most consistent and dependable mid range shooter in NBA history, - Tayshaun Prince - Swiss army knife top tier wing defender and slasher, Chauncy Billups- traditional point guard who can also score and is an efficient 3pt shooter ahead of its time. I say all this because Lebron faced and beat a team that comprised of the ideal 80/90s basketball archetype basketball and obliterated them like they were a JV squad. This isn't even prime Lebron, this is Lebron post 4 years out of HS with no jumper and no real supporting cast. My purpose is to not shit on old generations but to have them understand that each new generation of players become better because they adapt and improve upon the past. Just because Lebron, KD, and Steph are in another class of their own, doesn't mean it tarnishes the stars of yester years like Magic, Kareem, and Bird. Old stars still get their respect for being trail blazers and being the stars in their own right for their respective era.

Here after Luka’s great playoff performance had to make sure he wasn’t messing with young bron.. He’s not.

It's a darn shame how Jordan lovers have shaped public opinion against Lebron. They have birthed millions of haters who have no idea how untrue the negative narratives like "he's not a killer" and "he's not clutch" are.

Still one of the GREATEST performances in NBA history... if not the BEST!!!! #Incredible

skip keeps saying kyrie was lebrons closer... lebron didnt even have another all star on that team in 07

This was his most dominant game ever to me. He solidified himself after this one

After this game I think everybody knew that down the road lebron was gonna be one of the greatest basketball players of all time

Hard to believe that this had happened 10 years ago today .. LeBron was 22 at the time ? Dang .. I mean that's how long it was ?

15 years later and this man is still in the league kicking a$$. Legendary stuff. Appreciate greatness!

His first step, speed burst and spring back in those days were legendary.

KD can never do this

After Skip Bayless saw this game, only thing he got from this game was that after Bron shot those freethrows at 3:48 he missed a shot... imagine.. Bron scored 29 of Cavs last 30 points with 11-13 shooting, clutch bucket after clutch bucket inlcuding a game tying basket late and eventually a gamewinning basket and thats the only takeaway Skip had from this game.. whether you’re a Lebron fan or not, we should all know that he does anything just to hate on Lebron.

It's crazy to think he took a bunch of role players to the NBA Finals. He was an incredible player at this point in his career.

He refused to let his team lose

The day he was recognized as the best in the league & still is up to this day 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🐐🐐

I’m not even a Lebron fan but we can’t act like Lebron didn’t play in different generations this is the early 2000s where people consider the toughest defensive era based off numbers and he is still Ballin !

I knew LeBron on Nov. 2008, my first time to ever watched an NBA Game...since then i fall in love with him and his game...i tried to watched every Cavs game in RU-vid that i missed since 2003...I watch more than 10 times this video...same feeling from the first time i watched...i still get emotional and it give me chill...LeBron is truly a GOAT...

2017 is fading but i'm still here watching this video once in awhile...same with Game 6 Heat vs Boston in 2012 Playoffs and especially Game 7 Cavs vs. GSW NBA Finals 2016...LeBron is the Greatest Basketball player of all time!!!

The greatest performance in NBA history hands down it was literally 5v1

There are HOF players who rarely get 25 in a game. This dude, in his 4th season, got 25 in a ROW, for his entire team, in the most pivotal playoff game in the most pivotal moment.

Don't forget, this piston team beat the lakers with Kobe, Shaq, Malone, and Payton all on one team

Guys, it’s kinda crazy that the 2 best players of all time had to overcome the Pistons as their toughest challenge before they won rings

We are gonna see this Lebron in the 2019-2020 season, A rejunenated, fully rested, and with a superstar with him, He is gonna be more motivated this year and we might see alot of performances like this one this year!!!

This is the best instance to prove why Lebron James is the best player in the history of the NBA. Michael Jordan took advantage of the man to man illegal defensive era. See how pistons always had help defenders and zone on Lebron and they still couldn’t stop him. Lebron would average just as many points as Jordan would with double digit assists if he played in the 90s. Based on the fact you had to always commit to the defender, you cannot shadow the paint and then also guard the corner 3. That’s why it’s basically required to have a stretch 4 now in the nba, to beat the zone defense. Lebron faster, stronger, better handles, can jump higher(Lebron’s wing span is longer than Jordan’s by a lot) and better passing than Jordan would have dominated the 90s more than MJ. Lebron in 90s would just outmuscle or outquick any defender, no one man can guard him. Malone and Barkley too slow, Grant hill and Clyde Drexler too small. And then when he’s at the rim he’s jumping higher and bigger and stronger than half of the centers. The centers in the 90s were like 6’10” 6’11”(true heights) and 250lbs. Lebron James 6’7”(true height without shoes) is 250lbs. Simple physics says you have equal weight one one object moving much faster, that object would just move that slow moving object away. Lebron is the true best player in nba history, don’t listen to Jordan sheep. I was a Jordan fan growing up myself, but I saw the light maybe 7 years ago. If you actually know the game of basketball you would see Lebron is just the better player. He can take a bunch of random players further than anybody else. Also I didn’t even bring up the league had less skilled players. Lots of white American born players, that basically barely existed in the 2000s on ward. And finally hand checking was outlawed in 1979, so please don’t let those sheep basketball idiots tell you that myth.

Bro. I was 12 years old when this happened. To this day, it’s still one of the greatest playoff performances I’ve ever witnessed. The man was unconscious. Just an extraordinary display of passion and effort. The kid was balling.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of this epic.

Boobie Gibson was his second best teammate in that series...he beat that Pistons team damn near singlehandedly. I love the Lakers, but the Kobe vs. LeBron argument is nonsense. Kobe wouldn't have gotten 35 wins out of that team. LeBron got them to the Finals.

The fact that people think Jordan is better than this guy is mind blowing

people will say that the east were weak in 07 😂😂

3:58 people love to say Lebron plays against bad defense, yet here's Tayshaun Prince (old heads would consider him a great defender on a great defensive team) literally running away from Lebron as he rises up 😂. Nobody wants to contest him in the air, doesn't matter which era 🐐

This is the only time I saw someone and thought 💭 "He’s as good as Jordan"

this is when he became king james

people refuse to watch all of these legendary lebron moments....as they try to argue MJ

Watching this, after he captured his 4th ring (and counting) at the age of almsot 36, and realizing what he did here already in 2007 (13 years ago, almost an average nba career long!!) when Luka and all of the other stars of today were starting their first grade.. Man we just need to recognize greatness.

Tayshaun Prince made all NBA defense 2nd team that year and at 3:52 he cowers in fear and runs from LeBron. He got abused in this game.

swear to God Kevin Harlan and Marv Albert are the same person

This game brings back memories. I miss this NBA, my 13 year old self really idolized these guys. Man it sucks being an adult… sometimes.

i don't like lebron necessarily since he never let derrick rose get to the finals but i just have to respect greatness 💯

The best ever. Don't care what anybody else thinks. The greatest athlete I have ever seen.

Simply one of the sickest individual performances ever. And in the playoffs!

I watched this game live, I was never a LeBron fan but I started to respect his game after the 2007 season and especially after this series

The kind of stuff the viewers forget literally because of Skip "haterade" Bayless. Lebron has G.O.A.T. written all over his resume.

Interesting how people say lebron has no bag now, but you could tell he adapted to the times because here he was pulling Kobe moves left and right. Amazing how much his game as evolved through each era.

one of the best performances that i ever see

this is my favorite game from Lebron. those last 8 shots wear all incredible.

Listen man, love him, hate him, or indifferent about him, we all much agree on one thing: scoring ALL of the FINAL 25 points in a game to lead your team to a victory in the playoffs should be regarded as one of the Top 5 most dominant games by a single player all-time! This is amazing to witness! (unless you're a Pistons fan ofc)

All the other 12 cavaliers had to do was lsolations and picks XD

who's back because Lebron is at it again with his 10th trip to the finals? . Goat Things.

This was one of the best performance I liked from LBJ. Going against the best defensive team in the nba that year and to drop I believe 26 points at the end without none of his teammates scoring. This is what u call putting your team on your back. This was the killer everyone wanted to keep seeing in his past years.

It's funny how people call him "LeHelp" when he had been carrying his team ALONE for so many years...

In all Honesty, Kobe is my man. Bt when I come back to this game, I gotta give Lebron the edge. Kobe couldnt control the tempo of an entire game at tht age 😮

This one one of the best playoff performances of all time at 22 years old, against a team like that down by 7 with 3mins left, score the last 25 points and hit all those crazy shots to tie and take the lead.. crazy people forget about this shit and say he’s not clutch

Sad that people remember this season as criticism on LeBron for losing to the Spurs in the finals

Job is done. 4th ring for the King!!!

I remember watching this live and being blown away! It was amazing to watch. Especially him being so young

"he's not clutch" -has 5 playoff buzzer beaters lmao

Since it aint been any basketball I'm jus watching old LeBron highlights😢

this dude is touching the ball every play....HE WAS THE TEAM...passing, scoring at will. never again will we see anyone like that

These Cavs are one of the worst teams to make the finals behind the 01 Sixers. They had the same model a Superstar (Ai and Lebron) surrounded a bunch of no names or average players I understand why Lebron left that 1st time.

Versions of Lebron updated: 1) super young "believe the hype" lebron 2) first finals super athletic super high motor bron 3) first mvp grown man lebron 4) "evil" unstoppable miami bron 5) return to cleveland champ lebron 6) 2018 Lecarry 7) championship LAbron more polished and under control 8) Lefathertime still dropping 47 at 38 years old

LEBRON better than everyone on the pistons

This and his 45 against Boston my favorite lebron games

Little did I know as a 12 year old, I'd be watching the guy that would bring me the happiest day of my life as a 21 year old.

LeBron carried this Cavs team full of average players. This was probably his Top 3 performance of all time.

Who else still watching in 2019...Had to type Lebron vs Pistons 🏀🏀🏀
