There is no question now that LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players ever. You can measure that in individual brilliance, and also in team success. He’s got championships.
LeBron’s playoff career is packed wall-to-wall with astounding brilliance, and if you dig for his worst playoff performances ever - like, say, for a video series called The Worst - you will be amazed by how few substandard postseason performances he has on record.
That said, there are a few stinkers. And the stinkiest of the stinkers serves as a fascinating reminder of a different, less certain point in LeBron’s playoff history. LeBron’s mainstream reputation entering Game 4 of the 2011 NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks is so different from what it is now.
He wasn’t yet a champion - in fact, he’d had a couple notable individual failures in pursuit of his first ring in Cleveland.
He wasn’t yet widely beloved - in fact, it was pretty popular to look down on the guy for leaving Cleveland to “take the easy way out” and form a “superteam” in Miami.
Within that context, James played one of the worst playoff games of his career. He was passive and deferent at times, over-aggressive and heavy-handed at others. His stats were terrible, and the Heat blew a fourth-quarter lead to lose Game 4, allowing the Mavs to tie the series at 2-2. And then Dallas won the whole thing, and LeBron had himself a very difficult summer. Purely in terms of basketball, it was the low point of his career.
This episode of The Worst plumbs that low point, because it was lower than you might recall, and because doing so helps us better appreciate how far he’s come, and how magnificently he has risen since that baaaaad bad period in 2011.

As a Mavericks fan, I really hate that they didn’t get any credit from the national media for beating LeBron James & the Miami Heat in that series. It’s always “LeBron choked!”! etc and no praise for at all for Dallas.

Dirk was 6 for 19 in that Game 4 and 9 for 27 in the clinching game. He shot 41.6% in the series. Far from 'unstoppable'. The Mavs were a complete team. The first model of how the game has evolved with deep shooting surrounding a versatile superstar wing player.

@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 But Dirk found the wherewithal, despite shooting 2-of-6 in the final frame, scored 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter. Both of his makes came at the rim, including that layup with 14.9 seconds left to give Dallas a three-point lead. His % FG awful in that game buat his layup in final seconds was crucial. Furthermore I do agree that season he was supported with so many deadly shooters.

Newest Player to enter most Turnovers in NBA History. √LeBron James Most Missed Shots in Playoff History. √LeBron James with a total of 150 missed Shots that's is as equivalent as Kobe Bryant's Most missed shots ever. Queen and King of Flop James is the most overrated player to get credit in NBA history his 3-6 finals isn't too far from Jerry West 1-9 finals record. Most valuable control freak to boost up his own stats to make teamates look like bums. 8 straight finals with only 3 wins of rings. Couldn't take a beating from the Celtics so He joined his own Superteam in 2010. Then 2011 finals Mavs Exposed his defense and jumpshots. 2012 Okc finals was rigged like 2016 and honestly that was not a major competition unless you include Kevin Durant. 2014 Spurs exposed LeBron in the finals. He couldn't depend on his teammates for his legacy so he jumped back home to play along with young rising star Kyrie Irving who was the underground hero of 2016 like Ray Allen to LeBron's 2013 game save. The real MVP for the Miami Heat D.Wade> Lebron James LeBron had to join his team if Wade or Bosh didn't take the harder assignments like Battier on defense LeBron would have -2 rings right now. If it wasn't for the refs or the commissioner of the NBA that would be a -1 for 2016 finals if they didn't rigg it so LeBron could get his overrated praise from Lebrontards. We are shutting down this LeBron's the goat debate. He isn't in the same finals category as Kobe or Duncan. 1 scoring title is poor for the praise he gets, poor footwork. 66% freethrow shooting that's not good for a stat padder like him. Poor post moves Frequent uncalled travels and offensive fouls you will see with the eye test. Worst 3 point shooter. Worst defensive player in history. Overall stats are overrated when you put the context into the reasoning behind them. LeBron's the goat of this generation but he's not the best of the best.

I would not blame lebron for losing in 07,14,15,17 and 18 finals because they were too much to overcome but lebron in 2011 just needed to play like his normal self like averaging 26pts, 7rebs and 8ast to win the title especially when lebron was at his peak best but instead he averaged less than 20pts in the finals.

It could be argued that their greatest run/team was in 2002-2003 but they fell due to late playoff injuries. If that didn’t happen, the rest of the path was tailored made for a title. And that team was way more talented than this team. Steve Nash and Michael Finley were still on the team, Nick Van Exel was playing out of his mind, the bench was solid, even Dirk was in the beginning of his prime and was way better than 2011 Dirk.

That 2011 Mavs were REALLY good and clearly overlooked for whole season. Dirk was amazing. Jason Kidd was old but still a legendary point god, who became a 10-time all-star just 1 season before. Tyson Chandler was the defensive anchor, who won DPOY the next season and went on to become an all-star. Jason Terry was the sixth-man of the year in 2009. Shawn Marion, a 4-time all-star a little bit past his prime. There was no Big Three, but Dirk was not alone. This was a team filled with marginal all-star caliber players handling a lesser role, and great role players who were used and performed very well. Dirk fans (or LeBron haters) love to say that Mavs team was a "Big One" team. But it was never a good way to help basketball fans acknowledging how truly great that 2011 Mavs team was. Just like not giving credit to their defense on LeBron. However, it was not just about their defense as well. LeBron DID choke, very much. He did give up, and showed no competitiveness or aggressiveness. He had an infamous game 4, but even game 5 was bad. But the Heat still had good chance to win the series behind Dwyane Wade's great performance (26-7-5), who had similar stats with Dirk (26-9-2), and was always better on court than on paper. I really believe the Heat could still beat the Mavs' great defense and win it all, if LeBron did not choke like that. And the fans will now talk about Wade, whose greatness in that series has since been totally ignored, carrying LeBron in the finals and becoming the 2-time FMVP. So, props to every players on the 2011 Mavs, and their defense, and Dwyane Wade.

@jamesmarhen
@jamesmarhen 4 года назад
It's the one area it took him awhile to master. To me the comparisons with Jordan and Kobe in terms of how they play are always wrong. Even the comparisons to Magic are wrong as to me the player he is most like is Bird. Now, due to athletic differences and shooting abilities the way they play physically is different but both are scorer-passers. They are wired to do both, neither enjoyed just scoring, they both wanted to get their teams involved and loved passing. Bird grasped how and when to take over scoring early in his career while it took LeBron until the year after the 11' Finals to understand it. Prior to 12' he took over games and had huge games but other times he was thinking too much rather than just putting his head down and going out with guns blazing. Once he realized in big games he needed to just stop thinking, go out and be selfish occasionally, that's where he finally unlocked his full potential. Kobe and Jordan were always wired to be gunners, they were shooting no matter what though to Jordan's credit he learned how to pass in clutch situations whereas Kobe never fully developed that aspect of his game, though in those Kwame Brown years I don't blame him.

I wouldn't mind losing to such a great squad and sleeper pick.

I wonder if this kid even had his driver license during the 2011 finals.... You want to talk about "the king" carrying a team to the finals when he was with Cleveland......who were "the big three" of Dallas??? Dirk carried his team to the finals.....AND WON....against the team that had the super group!!!!!!!! I remember a LOT of people around the country becoming Maverick fans that week....

As a huge Lebron fan, this kind of video going into his 2011 Finals loss is exactly what I've been waiting for! I remember watching it as a kid and thinking what the hell is going on with this guy?? Now you look at him and see the confidence and mental state he has gotten into and truly feel proud to be a fan

I remember they will alot of people i knew that was both an MJ and Lebron fan during this time, but Lebron's horrible performance made them turn off Lebron. We have never seen a big star like him disappear in the biggest stage of them all. He wasn't mentally ready for this series. He didn't even want to take the last shot at Game 2 after Dirk's game winning layup. And the Mavs took advantage of this shortcomings.
