To this day, one of the greatest finals of all time. It's like everyone magically forgot that LeBron had the Killer instinct and had the greatest slew of performances with the greatest comeback of all time.
LeBrons rings will always be over shadowed by team hopping and creating a super team who couldn’t even make the play in. Meanwhile the warriors still winning
This version of LBJ will always be my favorite. His return to the Cavs all the way to his exit. Of course, as a Lakers fan I was happy to have him. But you can’t beat his performance during these years. Especially the 2018 run. Talk about legendary.
But he realised that he needs a team to at least help him after Jr smith choked game 1 in the finals for Lebron in 2018. I think that’s when Lebron changed the way he plays. It’s like he only wants do to enough as he wants to see what his teammates are capable of doing rather than what he’s capable of doing (cuz he knows he’s reliable and capable but is the team reliable and capable?). Lebron knows he can carry, but can his teammates contribute is the question lebron seeks answer for before the playoffs. There’s no point dropping 50 if ur team can’t fucking score and make free throws. 2018 taught lebron he can’t do it alone no matter how great he plays
I find it hard to understand why his detractors expect him to still play at that level and why they’re genuinely critical of him because he isn’t and because he’s still even playing at all.
There will never be another performance like this in my history. Coming back down 3-1 to the best team the nba has ever seen. Unreal how some are so disrespectful to the greatness this one man has shown for 20 seasons. You will miss him when he’s gone. People seem to hate greatness maybe it’s a jealousy thing!
This wasn't the best team ever, they just had the best record in the regular season. When they got the acquisition of KD is when they became the best team ever.
He’s the only dumbass to fall victim to Lebron’s greatness. Any veteran NBA team knows it not a good idea to poke LeGoat. Warriors and Nuggets saw this video
Perfect music to those legendary Finals, no matter how many times I watch it, it always gives me goosebumps. Never give up on someone a man don't count on.
The twin 41s game is my favorite game of all time. I’m a nuggets fan from Denver, but that shit was incredible. The kyrie stop and turnaround where he caught himself with one Hand on the floor, then hit the turnaround in klay face. Magnifique.
@@Chase-vl9cp I think 7, I think the lakers win the next 2 at home, Denver wins their game at home to go up 3-2, lakers blow them out game 6 at home to tie it 3-3, and then in game 7 everyone has Denver winning since they’re undefeated at home in the playoffs but lebron and AD go off both scoring 30 each and win by 5
Brilliant video! Felt proud to catch almost the entire series live while I was living in Mexico. Games 6 and 7 were just pure bliss; Bron basically took down the entire Warriors squad by himself 👑👑
Klay's always talked so much shit for somebody who's done so little in the Finals. He choked the entire series without Steph to bail his ass out with unbelievable performances.
He was quiet.. it's funny he comes over to talk shit then turns his back so he doesn't get confronted back.. he's soft, he sucks at talking shit and cries about everything
@@notavailable4596 Yeah you're right, I didn't realize how good he actually was in the 2015, 17 abd 18 Finals. I'm suprised he didn't win the finals mvp in 2015. Definitely hard to beat KD in the others, but Igudala in 2015? Really? Lol
@@greyk610 Steph was at his absolute best in 2015-16 prior to the injury and by 2017 was closer to that again. He first started reaching that level in the 2015 playoffs though, which is what propelled them all the way to the Finals and eventually to the victory. The Warriors don't win any of their rings without him playing like he has. He took the pressure off of everybody else. Iguodala won MVP because he was the do it all guy and made winning plays the whole series (including clutch shots and even threes). Steph should've won it every other year, regardless of KD's handful of really efficient performances. Steph made them possible, after all.
@@hkgcgsdhjgd 100% he can't help it, he's been on an elite team basically his whole career, you get cocky.. he's been talking shit a lot, especially when he was injured for 2 years
@@yousefbekhit1872 both are legendary and insane. One was when we forget how good Kimg James was. The other was hiw good or how bad we remembered the Falcons were 😂😂 bruh idc if you’re the 85 bears. Even they aren’t coming back from 27-3. We just saw the worst implosion ever seen from a sports team in a single game with only 1/2 left to play. The falcons had no right to lose that game. Even Tom Brady fucking knows it lmao 😂
Yeah, MJ gets unfair credit for "single-handedly" winning 6 championships (with the greatest supporting cast and coach in the era), but LeBron was like a damn superhero in that series. He was as productive as two players in one and it seems like he was everywhere all the time. My favorite finals performance by far, it's not even close.
Right now, Klay got his feelings hurt as James and his 30-point near triple double defeated the Warriors. Edit: And if Klay still didn't got his feelings hurt, going 0 points on 0/10 FG and 0/6 3PA on the Elimination game will do it.
@@danielbeagle5079 It was nearly a trip double? The assists and rebound were almost at 10 so maybe 8 or 9? It aint that hard to work out bro, good lord
I never quite viewed that situation in this context before I saw your video. This changed everything about that situation with me. Thanks for this! You always learn something new when you think you had all the pieces. This was great.
Wait, how had you seen and known of the 2016 Finals but didn't know of Thompson's comment? I thought it was world-history knowledge that it seemingly sparked the insane comeback of Bron and the Cavs!
To this day, the most important event in Cleveland sports history. Say what you want about him, but he left my city TWICE and grew up 20 minutes away from me, I have every right to be mad, but he is family, and I always be proud and grateful for The King.
lol tell that to Boston. Draymond doesn't get suspended they probably win this series. It was unbelievable. But the disrespect the Warriors get without Durant in the lineup is crazy.
@@serpserpserp Cavs/Warriors basically traded chips. 2015 should've been the Cavs' year, 2016 was supposed to be the year of the Warriors. Would've been better that way, though, none of that KD bs that went on irl, and LeBron has 5-6 championships right now and is unanimously #2 all time, though he probably already is with 4. Although we do miss out on the 3-1 comeback
The Lebron & Cavs made NBA Finals History. The only team who manage to come back from a 3-1 deficit. While Curry/Thompson & GSW made a humiliating choke in NBA Finals history😁😁😁.
It’s wild going back and watching younger Lebron. Seeing the difference in his athleticism now. But it’s not a traditional observation I don’t think, In basketball there’s a similar trajectory with most of the stars. As far as their physical superiority, but his trajectory is that he was SO much MORE athletic than everyone when he was younger. Now that he’s 38, he’s only slightly more athletic than most. His decline is being less of a percentage better than his peers. So when he retires, it may not be like a Tim Duncan or a Durk or even a Jordan when it’s like, CLEARLY you can’t consistently keep up the younger players anymore. His last season will probably be like a promising rookie(statistically), not a washed vet.
Because everyone is a bandwagoning Warriors fan right now and they don’t like remembering they lost to Cleveland when Golden State had the best regular season record OF ALL TIME ☺️☺️☺️
I say this one man finals comeback was more impressive than any one thing Jordan ever did in the playoffs, all factors considered, i.e. opponents, teammates. The LBJ peeps can always point to this.
