"But he's not a scorer". That's such a ridiculous statement. 16/24 from the field?? Could you imagine if he took 30-40 shots like some of these supposed "scorers"?
He needs to go down the lane EVERY time, he's the most unstoppable player when driving down the lane. Nobody can hold him. IMO not even Shaq could have handled a player like LeBron. He's too massive, too fast and too strong. What a player. By far my favourite player (alongside MJ of course). They are my two goats.
Yuanxin Li Paul Pierce was WELL past his prime! If LeBron didn't choke in 2009 we would've gotten to see him LOSE to Kobe in the finals! Oh well, Kobe just had to settle for beating the team that BEAT LeBron!
EXACTLY. And both are interchangeable in that ranking in my opinion. The two greatest players to EVER play the game of basketball. Although I do kinda give the edge to LeBron :p
Just goes to show what an amazing all around player he is. Highest playoff scoring game and isn't even mentioned in the discussion of his best games. Not to mention hell likely be the all time point scorer when he retires and isn't even known as a scorer. Appreciate greatness, he's going down top 3 whether you like it or not
I've watched full games of lebron and Jordan. The only thing Jordan does is take more shots than LBJ and plays full court defense. Jordan doesn't do anything else better than Lebron. People need to sop the Michael hype, LBJ is much bigger problem than anybody that has ever set foot on the hardwood. Just watch the damn games, it's clear as day.
Keenan Powell u crazy as hell Jordan’s midrange was better that’s it couldn’t shoot threes bron be pulling from 36-38ft without even jumping and be hitting them at a curry level
@@xaviervega468 - You clearly did NOT watch both of them their entire careers. If you did, then you would not have made that dumbass statement. Jordan's Bulls won rings because they had the superior teams those 6 years. The Chicago Bulls have 7 people in the Hall of Fame from those 90's Bulls teams: Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Phil Jackson, Tex Winter, Jerry Krause and Reinsdorf. BTW, "ALL" Championship rings are won by the "WHOLE BASKETALL TEAM from the Front Office to the Bench players" The Bulls and Jordan had the GCOAT (Greatest Coach of All Time) and the BEST teams every year from 1991 to 1998. Pippen was a Top 5 player back in the day. The Bulls had 2 Top 5 players, 1 Top 10 player and 1 Top 15 player on their team every year along with guys on the bench who could be Starters on any other team. The Bulls should have won every game because they had the BEST TEAM (coaches and players) in the NBA from 1991 to 1998. I watched all the basketball games from 1969 to Now...so I can analyze the coaching, the game and the players and I know the facts. Lebron had scrubs one year in the finals, DWade and Bosh hurt during the finals year, Kyrie and Love both hurt at the same time in 2015. Love hurt with a concussion and Kyrie not even on the team in 2017.
@@kalonbrown873 Lmao Celtics ran LeBum outta of Cleveland after LeBron blew a 2-1 lead shooting 22pg on 34FG 6 TO the last three games 🤣🤣🤣. Celtics were a lower seed as well
Golden King I said he gave him problems but locking down means every game you’re taking him out Paul pierce gave Lebron problems more than anyone other than kawhi but let’s not act like he couldn’t score on Paul
Bron disappointed he didn't get 50. 4 years later, he dropped 51 in the finals against the greatest team ever assembled with 4 all stars with 2 of those being legit superstars.
@@steff2738 , Jordan can't be GOAT with 6 rings because Bill Russell has 11 rings . How about that Mr . Steffen Johansen . Do you agree with Ring concept ?
@@steff2738 , so why people keep saying Jordan is the GOAT? I do believe LeBron James in terms of basketball perspective is better than MJ without doubt , that's why people called LeBron James the GOAT because he makes everyone around him better .
Hahaha..and now Paul Pierce showing disrespect on LBJ...everytime i see a match-up between those two...he just cannot stop him..alongside 99% of the league basically
KG in 2021 (or maybe 2020): We broke LeBron. Guy literally got mild amnesia for too much brain damage. They were throwing double and even triple team to LBJ in the post but couldn't stop him. KG is OG, no disrespect but he should also learn to say facts even it means appreciating an opponent/competitor
I think he doesn't because of the toll it takes on your joints and your muscles and makes your more injury prone. I would bring Derrick Rose as an example. Like in boxing when you need to knock someone out to win and you've got one round to do it, the danger of you yourself getting knocked out automatically goes up.
Something told me they were gonna get Game 4. In game 3 of this series, at the end of the game, LeBron had that "It's time to get serious" look on his face
Like cmon seriously, it feels like every other game, LeBron is doing something incredible or otherworldly. Michael Jordan is the only other player in history with that quality, those two, however you want to rank them, are in a class of their own
Lebron’s game takes 0 iq lol. Man has a open jumper and still drives to the rim lol only a few contested fadeaways but y’all kno he ain’t always like that lol
The Heat got carried all 2014 by Lebron so much and this game shows how bad that was. The Heat barely squeak by this Nets team with Lebron dropping 49. There are so many seasons where Lebron overachieved. 07, 14, 15, 17 and 18 are all years his team should have definitely lost in the 1st or 2nd round. Yeah he disappointed in 2011 but that Heat team had no business being in the Finals with one of the worst benches in the league. 2009 isn't even a Finals appearence but it might be Lebron's heaviest carry job of his career with 66 wins and 10-4 in the playoffs.
The efficiency is what sets him light years ahead of Kobe, and possibly ahead of Jordan. When you factor in his subpar free throw shooting, it’s even more impressive
