The way media doesn’t want to talk about Lebron’s PED allegations goes to show how much they are protecting him just so he can continue to be the face for the league while they keep raking in money. Both can only pray no one reveals definite evidence that Lebron’s doping allegations are actually true, otherwise NBA will abandon him like how they did to Kobe after the rape allegation.
People won’t understand they love to hate because it’s threatening they beloved MJ shi be weird I don’t even get how they can’t appreciate this actual pure basketball genius and the art in his game be smooth and still killin & at the age of 39 I don’t understand how people dont have common sense to see Lebron really is the goat if ball best player ever he the only one even ever doing thid year 21 basically makin history every game if you really think of it and people wanna say mj better cause they stuck mentally in his 6 yr span instead of realizing not even being bias the levels above you have to be to be this great st playing ball still when others like mj proved by year 17-20 he shouldn’t have even been in nba and like really put lebron vs mj 1v1 at this age snd they think MJ winning lol mj retired by now lebron doin shi like this people be so hard headed
@@14Naly it´s actually appalling how they don´t give Bron his flowers, same shit happens now on Tennis with people not giving Djokovic his flowers, he is the goat as well as LBJ
@@Yoyoy08you’re a casual concerned with narratives. anyone who watches basketball can see a distinct difference in his game this year vs last. Has nothing to do with why they will win or lose in the playoffs.
It's crazy how explosive and athletic Lebron still is in his 21st season. Bro is flying by these guys in their 20s like it's no problem. His playmaking capability and ability to almost always make the right decision is still insane to me too. Yes I am glazing lol. Nice vid tho
Yeah Lebron is still explosive to a point! Those of us who witness Lebron 18 to 25, it was freaking unfair! He is easily one of the most athletic NBA player ever!
Everyone says it’s peds but I see 2 reasons why he’s still flying by people. 1. Younger generation doesn’t have the dedication to be in the gym there’s been plenty of interviews saying how LeBron would beat them to the gym in a full sweat before they even get there 2. He was so athletic and above everyone else that even in decline he’s still more athletic then 90% of the league
@Jay___855 And the third reason is that he never had a long-term athleticism altering injury. His biomechanics are also perfect and he is the master of pacin
Fastest 30pts/5 rebounds and 5 assists game ever and fastest 30pts ever by a Laker player (And prime Wilt, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Kareem, Magic, Shaq, Kobe and AD played for that franchise for the one who forgot), and Lebron beat them at almost 39 😂 Its ridiculous, when we talk about Lebron longevity it’s not like Kareem longevity who never averaged over 23ppg after his 12th seasons, in this case it’s a guy who still average 25ppg on career high efficiency, 65% True shooting, in his 21st freaking season ! And who could end up in MVP race if the Lakers are a Top 3 seed and he keep playing like that, so his longevity is a real + for his GOAT case, playing 20 years as a Top 5 player in the league is craaazy (Yeah Lebron was already Top 5 in his 2nd season he averaged 27ppg in the deadball era) …
Apparently you didn't get the memo. It's easier to score in the NBA today because nobody plays defense. Kobe & Shaq would average a combined 80pts in today's game, and that's not even an exaggeration
This is an excellent analysis. Not many can box out Zion and are willing to take charges from him. Lebron is definitely in playoff mode. Zion and BI looked like they had been partying too hard in Vegas.
Hmm we saw this last year but how did he finish??? That old body will shut down without notice like a car when the fuel pump is going out. It will give you a few warnings by starting slow, won't start but crank in the am, want start when you come out the grocery store, but when you beat on the gas tank it starts just to get you home. Then it's done. Only certain people will understand this. LOL
"Built like Karl Malone, passes like Larry Bird, jumps like Michael Jordan and surveys the court like Magic Johnson. He is not the strongest or the fastest but he is faster than the strongest and stronger than the fastest" One of my favorite quotes about the King 👑 💪 credit: Clayton Crowley.
Lebron’s biggest strengths are his ability to adapt to the game, recognising his own body limit and aging, which lead to his change of play style to prolong his career (also knows how to eat smart, train smart, rehab smart and rest smart)
Exactly. See that article where it says bro spends MILLIONS to keep up his body and does things like cryotherapy. It's wild. It all works too. He's almost for and still dropping almost 30 a game, and last year did drop 30.
@@HoopVenue I think there are a few things contributing to it. First to consider is that his 3p% last year was the worst it'd been since the 2016 season and his shooting betrayed him during the playoffs, albeit while playing through an injury. The Lakers are also including him in a lot of off-ball actions and (by the eye test, at least, haven't checked stats) he seems to be taking more catch-and-shoot 3s instead of pull-up 3s, more 3s from a hop and fewer from the 1-2 motion. Getting him more opportunities to shoot shorter-distance 3s instead of the pull-up ones he shoots at the top of the key will almost certainly give his percentage a permanent boost, even if he doesn't maintain what is currently his career high.
@@BlueGrovyleAlso I remember seeing a Reddit post pointing out that he changed his shooting mechanics. Before he used to hold the ball above his head longer while shooting. I watched a video of every three make of Lebron's 2021-2022 season and it felt like he Pauses before he shoots, compared to now it is quicker and more fluid. Also, this was a great video HoopVenue
This is personally been my favorite version of LeBron in his career. Yes I know when you beat the warriors I get it. I get it but there's just something about this that makes it feel kind of special. Great breakdown by the way as usual. Have a good one everybody Merry Christmas
If the season only has 30-40 games, lebron might get another ring at this age. But I bet once this tournament ended, he will back to a more relaxed mode until playoff start.
LeBron doesn't sit just for rest, he will rest on the court. He will only sit if he has at least a minor injury reason like the fact that someone on the pacers hit his knee towards the end of the game
He should definitely play more reserved. If hes always playoff mode, thats how you injure or tire yourself. I mean play to win but pace himself. Its a marathon not a sprint
Sometimes I sit down and think why does 2006 feel like it was just yesterday to m, i turned 18 that year and still feel like it was just a few years ago and then I think of culture and technology ect and lerbron in a striking manner can and maybe is the reason time to me feels so close regardless of how slow it’s going within its self because the years have gone by and he’s still at the peak of his career for the last 13 years to me that’s insane and makes me wonder at times ,lebrons longevity is warping time right before our eyes sports wise ,this dude still got like 6 years of playing time
Great breakdown of LeBron, so incredible, also would love you to do a breakdown of either Rudy gobert's impact or bam Adebayo's impact since both are important to the heat and twolves.
People accuse LeBron of steroids but ignore that Jordan gained most of his muscle mass in his 30s and was playing virtually every game despite drinking and smoking cigars regularly 😭😭😭
Its crazy we talk about his longevity..But its crazy because he never lost a beat.. It been so many great players MJ,Kobe,Kareem and so on... But cant nobody say any of them great players could do the things LBJ has accomplished.. And he's been doing it for 20+ years.. Anybody that says he's not in the top 3 he may not be your goat but if you cant admit he's top 3 ever... thats why we try to compare him to top players from back then and now.. If lbj dont do sumin right now we say he cant be the GOAT because of this and because of that and he passed these players up.. People say MJ wizard years doesn't count because he was a shell of him self and that was year 14 and 15...
Mind you,if Jordan had gone straight to the NBA from high school,he still would be not up to par for that abysmal Wizard year would have been his 19th or 20th year
@@anthonys.7086 if you look up "Did Performance-Enhancing Drugs Prolong Careers?" in the SABR index you'll find a study that shows PEDs don't affect longevity in any meaningful way
If only LJ’s haters were smart enough and mature enough to understand basketball IQ. They would have no choice but to appreciate his greatness. I wish mainstream media would do more of this for their casual fan market. They would know the game a bit more. Great breakdown 👍🏽
@@WillToWinvlog Sounds like a basketball player to me. Now you’re the one crying about him crying. See how you sound? It’s got to be miserable on that side.
@@WillToWinvlog I’m about to be 44 and still hoop 4 days a week at a high level. I definitely take plays off 🤷🏽♂️ You are aware that he’s the oldest player in the league right? Even though he’s in better shape than 99% of the league. Kids really got to grow up.
@@johnjack902 I have never understood why people go onto a video praising someone just to disagree and hate. Why not use that energy to follow and worship the players you like. Never ever have I jumped into a video of a player I don't like to say something negative. Never. Get a life!
I've never been a huge LeBron fan but anyone that ranks him lower than #2 all time is absolutely delusional. He's definitely the king of longevity and I would love to see him continue playing well into his 40's. Love him or hate him you have to give him props for what he has been able to do in his career on and off the court. Certainly a blueprint for what an ideal NBA career looks like
They wanna chalk his stats to longevity. But this the fastest any player at ANY age posted a sim stat like that quick on n those ridiculous percentages
Can you imagine if he keeps this up and he is a consistent 40% shooter from now on? After all this years of ``Lebron needs shooter´´ he finally said ``I´ll do it myself´´ and become a great 3 point shooter
I watched kobe growing up and he was my favorite player and still is but after watching Lebron in a lakers jersey these past years I can't lie to myself that he is Indeed the GOAT and I'm watching every game and I'm stunned every game and just the fact he's doing it at this stage and age in his life !
You probably thought Kobe was the GOAT before you jumped ship to LeBron, right? The biggest cheat the sport has ever seen and you are openly admiring him? What does that say about you? Not much good that's for sure. Whatever, despite all his colluding and tampering to form super teams, despite his very obvious PED use, he STILL trails Jordan as a winner. You simply cannot be the GOAT of your sport if another player won more than you have in 21 seasons in only 11. Yeah, that's right....in just 11 full seasons as a Bull, Jordan won 68 official NBA accolades. LeBron, going into his 21 season, has won 63. That's just insane. The reason any professional sports league exists is winning. Players are there to win, fans watch to see their team/player win. It's that simple, they would not exist otherwise. So winning is the absolute number one factor in determining any GOAT of any sport. And for Jordan to have won at such an astonishing rate, more in 11 seasons than Lebron has won in 21 should absolutely settle any debate. It's not close to being close. Quite simply, LeBron James is NOT the greatest of all time, that ship has sailed because Jordan was just on another planet in terms of what he achieved in this league. To deny that is to admit you are one very deluded person...
@@inefekt NBA is a team sport. Jordan couldn't defeat Larry bird so is Bird better than Jordan? Jordan fans will say that Bird was on an all-time great Boston team, yeah and Lebron couldn't defeat GSW with Durant, nor beat an all-time great Spur team when he had bums on his team.
Honestly I’m a huge lebron fan but when people were blaming his foot injury last year as the reason for him slowing down I was skeptical and just thought we are just sadly witnessing him getting old and reaching the end of his career but how he looks right now has definitely proved me wrong, as fast and explosive as ever and making these young guys look out of shape in comparison, a true testament to his genetics and hard work. 🔥
Fr the TRT and GH he's on don't even fully explain it. I'm sure other aging NBA players have squeezed in a few more years in the league doing the same thing, but no one has done THIS.
my dude in jsut one highlight clip you showed he traveled twice one possession... this is exactly why people hate this dude... he shouldn't be allowed to get away with what he does...
love this break down... i noticed he did a lot in the game but couldnt really put my finger down to what it was besides the points and assists your break down was awesome!
The most annoying thing ever is coming across any video praising LeBron for anything and the comments are bombarded with “Leflop has no bag.” People like that always come off as unintelligent.
bro I am 34 and I can't properly walk up the stairs with my left knee. And I played ball since a kid until 34. What Lebron is doing is amazing, Doctors can help you with the rehab but not with your durability, I guess you have to be lucky or it is just pure genetics but Lebron is only the 38 year old with stats like this.
The only way the lakers can mess this up, is if they make unnecessary trades. Unless they magically get Dwight Howard. If they can obtain a big man without any losses, they will be a finals contender.
aside from his impressive athleticism considering his age, he’s just super intelligent about the sport. you can tell his IQ in basketball is leagues above everyone else in the court. his ability to adapt and make plays in a blink of an eye is what makes him a threat
ABNORMAL JAW GROWTH, GAINED 7-8 LBS DURING A GAME, I REPEAT DURING A GAME… LEAVES TO MIAMI FOR 2 WEEKS COMES BACK RIPPED FILLED IN RUNNING AND JUMPING OUT THE GYM LOL!!! WAS LIKE 270+ AT ONE POINT ROIDED TO THE GILLS 2010-2013… NBA STARTS TESTING AFTER 2015…. SLIMS UP TO FLUSH OUT SYSTEM AND SIZE TO FLY UNDER THE RADAR… SWITCHED TO EPO AND PEPTIDES.
To me Lebron's greatest asset is his durability and his ability to play at MVP level with the amount of minutes played he has. I personally don't think anyone has even been this good so late in their career. MJ was not even close to being this good when I came back for the last two years in DC. I was so disappointed when MJ came back. There was no way to top the 3peat repeat. I would like to see LeBron to add another chip if he can get it. That finals record does matter. In the end it is win or go home.
The baby skyhook is the greatest shot ever taken when game is on the line. Only a great talent can shoot such a shot. Magic Johnson shot is the GREATEST SHOT TAKEN IN THE NBA FINALS
Youre kidding right? H3 stands around until theres a break and wanders into position to take a dunk or easy lay up. He pads stats like theres no tomorrow. Even then he misses unopposed dunks. Doesnt defend. Takes midcourt breaks. Cries to the refs when he loses the ball without a defender in touching distance (that shit is hilarious. Funnier than most american comedians). He cant dribble to save himself its the funniest shit to watch. Hes the 'pass to an opposition player' goat i have to concede. Check his shooting chart. Go on. actually check. He good inside 3 feet. Australian netball players are better, but he good inside 3. He the goat for flopping. And he isnt even subtle about it. He the turnover king. True. Concede that. He travels so much he gets frequent flier miles (and im not talking this bullshit gather step stupidity either) guy needs 4 steps minimum for a lay up. He the gost at uncalled travelling. He the goat of carrying the ball too. Stops his dribble. Restarts it. Carries it in both hands for a couple steps restarts. Oh. Nice didnt know you could do that.hand under the ball ALL the fkn time. Nice. Just wanders up the court carrying AND travelling. Dude seriously is the goat he gets away with both at the same damn time. Obvious juicer is obvious Go watch (not hi lights actual matches) some real ball from when EVERYONE was subject to the same rules. Fucker wouldnt last 5 minutes in the 80s. The bullshit he pulls every game today he be stretchered off in the 80s.can just imagine him pulling that forearm charge shit against bill laimbeer or the chief. 😂😂😂😂 and larry bird would whisper something in his ear have him crying in the corner. Then tell lechoke EXACTLY how he gonna score on him on the next play. And the next. And the next...one dribble fake left , ball fake step right nothing but net...i aint no jordan fan but mj would turn this overgrown cry baby INSIDE OUT. And 😂😂😂 danny ainge would get so far up him itd be worth the price of admission. Karl malone and hakeem would DESTROY him under the bucket. And the refs? He be fouled out inside 10 min. If he wasnt teched out for abusing officials and flopping first. His first touch he get called for travelling or carrying. Soft cock era. Such weak ass referring its pathetic. Your 'hero' been carried by the league every game since he appeared. Theres a reason he has to gather super teams...
@@moneymoney3235kobe had a season ending knee injury right after that Achilles injury,, since u think u know it all, i bet u didn't know that,, why else u think he only played 6 games that entire season
"No questions asked" is strong, because if he were to sustain this level of play I feel like Jokic is the only one. From where I view him overall? I'd probably still comfortably take guys like Giannis and Joel, Steph/Luka/KD I'm not too sure on right now.
What makes bron the goat in my eyes is cuz hes seen every coverage possible and able to counter all of the them with his iq. His skillset is a1 in all the categories but his iq seeing every coverage is his biggest attribute
When you are playing in a less physical league to start with. Taking part in Load Management for your hole career. Resting while on the court and not bothering to play defense. And flopping your way through games it's no surprise that he is lasting this long. We will start to see very soon that 21 seasons is not abnormal any more as more players are emulating the strategy.
Man he’s amazing Jordan was good a saw him play until he retired but jordan was never like this when he went to the wizard so he have chip then lebron but the 👑 is still the 🐐 at 5 position pg sg sf pf and c insane
He’s an ATG shooter and passer, there’s no way to stop the offense from pushing the pace, and the team is filled with offensive talent. I don’t think he’d be as efficient as he is right now in terms of scoring because he’d have more trouble touching the paint, but everything else should hold. Not everything is about how good you are at taking the extra dribble, which I’m sure is what the twitter experts are concerned with.
@@HoopVenue Yeah, it’s basically his scoring profile and they’re saying that since the game slows down in the playoffs, Indiana’s offense wouldn’t hold up. That’s pretty crazy considering we’ve seen fast-paced offenses go crazy in the past. The defensive concerns are valid tho imo.
Exactly, he's still just a man. Came back way too fast from that leg injury recently. Been watching the NBA for 20 years, and Vince Carter couldn't even do this and he was a freak of nature as well
@@Ace-fe8gc sorry dude but it's not the talent.. and a lot of players play good defense but the problem is if you breathe the wrong way on the offensive player he immediately goes to foul line a la Pelicans vs Lakers game... HORRIBLE!!
Still Lebron has a lot in the tank and is not quitting anytime soon. Doing a Tom Brady impersonation and will surpass 40k career points Just a freak of nature
All these LeBron haters will want to take a selfie with LeBron if they meet. Most of them are old heads who are too blind to watch current NBA games and are blinded by nostalgia, and complaining that there isn't defense in this era but it's just the fact that players are getting better offensively, the game of basketball is evolving and now there's bench players who are better than Michael Jordan, Cope.
@@edisjd I agree and is sad at his age and years in the nba he needs to put crazy performances to win they need a guy that bring rebounds and pure defense nothing much something like Howard in the bubble
this is wild cuz he usually runs the offense 90% of the time and runs the point. we've been waiting for him to have someone else to facilitate when he goes to the bench, but NOW EVEN WHILE HE'S ON THE FLOOR, playing WITHOUT THE BALL his averages have INCREASED. Mannn the playoffs needa hurry up and start. i can't wait 😂😂😂
