Lebron's most underrated accomplishment was getting that 2018 Cavs team to the finals. That Lebron was in my eyes the greatest version of himself ever.
To me, that's the the peak of his basketball prowess. Every single mental and physical skill was aligned. He had better shot ring years, years where he more athletic, etc. But that one season, everything in his game was in osmosis
Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals against Detroit HAS to be among his greatest moments. 22 years old, scoring 29 of Cleveland's last 30 points, including 25 straight, against one of the great all-time defensive teams when a knock against LeBron is that he never went against tough defensive teams... Dude was and is unbelievable.
That is the only achievement I could see being greater than the all time scoring record. I mean that was absolutely insane. Leading all players in every major statistical category against the best regular season team in nba history. It's just bonkers.
That was one of the most dominant performances I've ever seen he only scored what 45? But he had 30 at half and the game was over if he wanted or needed to he could've dropped 60
It's crazy how we're talking about LeBron being the all time leading scorer NOT being 1 of his greatest achievements, and people are still gonna find ways not to give him his flowers. Whether you love him or hate him, just appreciate greatness
He has so many achievements that are legacy defining which made this record, that nobody thought could be breakable, feel like a minor achievement. It’s pretty crazy
I just love listening to these three talk basketball. No goofy silliness. Just perfect, beautiful articulation about basketball ball players and moments ect about the game I love
This is the problem , his career is soooo filled with great moments that people tend to forget ..Stephen A was done with his recollection and Legler had to bring him back to Game 6. People will easily forget 2018 playoffs Lebronto, the buzzer beaters , eliminating Boston in game 7 at Boston when everyone said he was finished. His game 6 against Detroit. He pretty much owned the Eastern division for a decade, had it on lockdown. But we are too distracted by the shiny things. His career is absolutely legendary. 💪🏾👑
Lets be real ... if Curry and the Warriors did not recruit KD after losing to Lebron and Cleveland then Lebron possibly would've had 2 more rings making it 6 in total as we speak ... no team could've beaten those Warriors (Toronto got lucky coz KD got injured) ... it's just unfortunate Lebron ran into that juggernaut of a team which was assembled to stop HIM ... i'm grateful to witness a legend play in my lifetime ... he'll be truly missed once he's gone, just like MJ.
Thank you!! People never want to mention that because they know If it wasn’t for KD joining a 73-9 team Bron gets 2 more rings. I dont count those 2 finals losses against him because no team on planet earth was beating that Team 4 times in a series.
Stephen sick to his stomach! Jordan’s fans want to gate keep anyone from passing him! It’s okay he had his time one day someone will surpass Bron! But he is the GOAT NOW!
That game 6 lebron against the Celtics was the best lebron I've ever seen. Use to hate lebron before that and had major respect ever since. I'm a Celtics fan as well.
Lol, I’m a huge LeBron fan. I used to be a hater too until that game. I was rooting for the Celtics as well. I remember physically kneeling and bowing to the TV screen after a play he had that night. I believe that is the greatest performance in NBA history.
That shot in game 7 of the 13 finals is probably the most underlooked shot in the history of basketball, because if he bricks that shot the Spurs could tie or take the lead easily.
People ALWAYS mentioned Kareem being the all time leading scorer. They are saying Lebron is so good, it wont even be a top 3 thing you discuss about him. I think this is a complement?
It’s so many tbh all those playoffs against the wizards detroit early boston years miami years Bron had three different careers in 20 years it’s incredible 💯
people can say what they want about Lebron but what he's been going through mentally since the age of 15, i would not wish that on anyone cause most people would fking break.
Legs mention the 2012 Celtics game as his greatest scoring performance I say a young Bron in 2007 vs pistons in the playoffs scoring 25 straight and won the game ....im surprised they didn't mention that !! Shame Shame on yall !! Smh 💯 👑
There will never be another LBJ once he is done. NBA will feel different without him. In my eyes, LBJ can do no wrong he won my city, it's only title. He is an icon and one of the greats I have been witness to his greatness since he step into the league.
If anybody else like Kobe or Jordan was approaching the all time scoring record SAS and others will be going crazy. Because it's Lebron, now it doesn't mean as much. You can't make this stuff up
Cleveland is LeBrons greatest feather in his incredible cap. How he brought them a Championship over one of the greatest teams I've ever witnessed, with a nut like Kyrie on board was just breath taking. Incredible achievement to help that dude, who sat on the end of the bench in the finals pouting game after game(you remember), is beyond me!
Riley probably teased Bron about Jordan and he went completely nuts afterwards. I was 13 and watched the game and I'm a big Bron fan but I couldn't recognize him😂
That game 6 was crazy especially if you watched it he literally did look possessed bruh he had a whole different vibe to him I've never seen before that game or after from him. I ain't ever heard of a game like that from Mike from any Jordan fan
Yall need to stop.. When Kareem had the record it was, 'nobody will ever break this' blah blah blah... Bron is the BOAT. Best Of All Time. Hands down. MJ can be the GOAT, he was more trophies. But that's it. Bron has FAR better numbers, Bron has a better more complete game. Can play and guard all 5 positions. He's the BOAT
Of course SAS doesn’t want Lakers to make any more moves even though they’re DESPERATE for shooting/spacing! All of the top 20 scorers of all time only score 35+ points in 10-33% of games they play yet ppl trying to make it sound like year 20, 38 years old, 1500 mins behind Kareem for most mins ever (including playoffs) 35+ points is so easy. Expectations & goal posts moving for LeBron crazier then any other athlete EVER from teenage to 40!
The all-time scoring title is a record of longevity. It's amazing he's had the stamina he's had but he's also had the support of improved medical intervention and started his pro career years earlier than the old timers. I agree with Legler that the playoff and finals impact is more impressive.
This just in...nobody cared about or pumped Kareem up this much for him holding the record for 40yrs. Even when he broke it there was not alot of hoopla around it. Its a great achievement but the constant talking about it over and over gets nauseating.
It's way different because Kareem took the title from wilt in 10 years. He's held it for 40. It's the longest its ever been held for, so someone coming in and breaking that is a big deal.
Because is a big deal. It’s a record nobody thought it would break and now someone not just gonna pass it but will crush it. Enjoy the moment brother this doesn’t come by very often
He played that way in 2012 because he quit on his team in 2011'. l was at gm 5 of the finals. Dirk was the best player on the court. Shawn Marion and Deshawn Stevenson had shut LJ down in the 4th qtrs of all 6 games. During the 3rd qtr in gm 5 he was walking around moping in his prime rather than trying to defend like he does now. lm not surprised at his longevity or the scoring title. Hes only completed one 82 gm season he's been so pampered and he's been awarded 9000+ and 1's having made 7000+. He gets more automatic foul calls than any player in the league today and he's 8th all time. It is odd tho that he's only won the scoring title per season once and MJ won it 10 times. MJ played all 82 games 9 times. After this season LJ will have taken an entire season off in LA paid for rest, a minor groin pull and foot 'pain'. Not the goat.
We're going to be fine because as of right now I don't want the Lakers to be in the playoffs I want to Lakers to be in the play in so we can eliminate one of the top team first and after that it's easy money baby but if the pacers is said f it they ain't winning anything and decided to give us myles turner for 1 first round pick if I'm Rob I'm only doing that because of AD health but without the Lakers making any major moves I still got the Lakers beating every team in the west 4-1 accept for Milwaukee who we will be facing in the final
People acting as if we didn't know he was gonna break the record, Jordan will always be the GOAT never lost in a final, and never carried a purse to the game.
If the Lakers five indy both of them first round picks if I'm Rob I'll ask for the whole team because the pacers is in rebuilding mode so I'll give the pacers them picks but I want wayyyyy more than 2 players for them or I'll stay put and see 👀 who's going to give me the best assets to win now because two first round picks is a lot for a franchise to give up trying to win a championship
god lord stephen a the title is cringe. he possess only 6 nba finals loss. lmao. fail. stephen a tryin to big up lagranny is like the black cops killin tyre. that just aint right.
“The Lakers could easily have five more wins…”. A lot of teams in the league can say that. Here’s the thing… they didn’t. The lakers aren’t doing anything. I hate MSM 😂.
@@FireAngelChris Did you know the Lakers are tied for 2nd in the league for total in correct/no calls in THEIR favor? Do y’all just love making up your own facts?
@@thekingbradable Did you know the Lakers are leading the league in miss calls that should of went there way and last minute report. Do y’all just like making up your own facts ??
If you hate the “MSM” then do what us normal adults do and stop watching something you hate. Hate-watching something just to whine and complain about it is feminine behavior
@@FireAngelChris So the exact opposite of what I said? 😂 you clowns just love to embarrass yourself with nonsense and made up facts. You realize the nonsense you typed and what I typed are easily verifiable right?
Stephen a out here counting game by game lmao could say this for every team damm near we chasing now. But if lebron gets this team anywhere at all it will be special
