The moment that CHANGED the 2016 NBA Finals | Lebron James Highlights 

😂😂😂😂😂👍🏾

You win

fucking hilarious 😂

😭😭😭😂😂😂💀

When he said Mo Williams I thought damn he got a ring too 🤣🤣🤣

Fax yo

KD ruined his reputation at the same time

Get critics for joining a super team as a all star player: one of the weakest move by an all star I've ever seen. Get critics for leaving : he ruined what could have been the greatest rivalry in sport history !!! Saying all that while knowing that the warrior medical team almost ended his career by sending him back on the floor while not ready to play. Add that to the fact that he was getting call the b word everyday by draymon Green

@@jkkjkkas lol he wasnt referring to kd leaving gsw. Kd ruined the rivalry by joining gsw because by such act, cleveland no longer had any chance. It wouldve been great if we got to see a gsw vs cavs in 2017 without KD.

@@jkkjkkas Wow man you're the dumbest person alive. 😂 KD ruined the rivalry by joining GSW.

Shit was really insane, granted he didn’t win the Finals as much as he could have and debatably should have during those 10 years the NBA Finals really ran through him for a decade. To get a ring you had to beat him, period, people really be acting like that’s nothing.

@@ThePlasticBowl hes like the final boss in a video game, for 10 versions of the game. .

@@pi_za8214THIS! Love this comment. Spot on. So true.

Facts

And got destroyed by the west

Oh that was 7 years ago already

james, blocked by nate robinson!!! le roid, lecry, lerigged, lediddy, le my sons wear js. Lebron top 7 alltime...

The greatest defensive play in history, imo. Not just because of the moment, but because I saw it live and I am STILL to this day like how TF did this dude get all the way there when he was behind half court when Igoudala caught the ball around the other elbow? If he's 0.002 seconds later, the ball hit the back board first. Listening to Iggy describe it as the loudest sound he had ever heard on a court and how he just stood in awe like everybody else in the moment just made it more epic.

@@dorge86 Le41,000 and counting?

It's the warble in the cry "ohhh" right before he says "blocked by James". It brings tears to my eye how perfect this sportscast was. Could not have captured this amazing defensive play any better.

@Boney Jones awe you still hurt bitch boy

@Boney Jones And they lost, so what if they had a 3-1 lead? Lebron played his best. Fricking except that. He played offense and defense well after what klay said. Draymond wasn't suspended in game 7 was he? Lebron still destroy them defensively.

@Boney Jones And what are you, an emotionally unstable teenager at the age range of 13-16 to talk about people's mom? Grow up and stop talking shit about people's parents when you got nothing to argue for. You don't know his life, what you said could be true or false. You can make him commit suicide if what you said is true.

@Boney Jones Yes, I'm a kid I guess just because I mind my language and rasional on my words. Lebron isn't great, everywhere he go he instantly become the leading scorer no matter how much he is supposedly "carried". Yes, I'm just your usual LeBron fans who would except facts if you can prove them.

@Boney Jones Yup I didn't know draymond was suspended game 5, you clown. When I didn't even mention that. WHAT MAKE YOU ASSUME THAT I DON'T YOU IMBECILE.

That’s the best finals voice ever. In 2013 too, “bosh back out to Allen, his 3 pointer BANG!”

The word is euphoria

I promise u ain’t never lied

@@cmaplefreak gonna be sad when he’s replaced in about 10-20 years he might get his old man voice by then

Not if your a warriors fan :(

It would've been the defining moment of his career if he had crashed on draymond right there.

Would have ended that whole man career

Exactly man that dunk was going to be so special. Draymond would still be having nightmares if he didn't foul lebron

fereal. im a cavs fan and always imagine how epic the 2017 rematch couldve been. tied 1-1. wouldve been incredible. instead, no one gave a shit about basketball for 2.5 years. sucha bitch move

Fvcking KD!

Best NBA season ever

Yeah, like Lebron went to Miami, Cleveland and LA to play on jobber squads.

@@mr.wright9867

Extremely underrated comment lol

Lol that's why he lost 3 finals to them

This comment needs more likes. Hold this W fam 😅😅😅

Oscar's voice Because of KD lebron 2016 win is better than all 3

Bro!! 😂😂😂

If that happens, it would be the greatest dunk in history

I tell ya, anytime I remember that finals i reiterate that dunk in my mind all over

That’s a wish we all want to come true

Same here, 😂

Me too

lol

Awwwwww

LeBron could have the greatest offensive play & greatest defensive play in just one game, just within 2 minutes, sheesh

Truth

Was blocking Igoudala the whole series and made the best block in playoff history as the finishing touch...

Bro if he made that last dunk... I probably would have froze

Yup and ppl still hate the man for no reason.

Personally that was the series that made me believe he is the goat. Never have a seen anyone will a team to win 3 games by teleporting to the perfect spot every other play

🤣 "Ok Fine"

😂😂😂💯💯

He unleashed the Devil the demons laugh though 3-1 comeback baby!

So you’re going to pretend kyries game 7 three had nothing to do with the W

Idk man Kyries performance was up there

​@@InstaSwapper 40 something on insane shooting game 5 as well and Kyries d was legit it's get overshadowed by lebron's super human dast 3 games warriors shot 15% against LBJ from within 6 ft of the hoop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This comment is exactly the reason why Kyrie wanted out at that time. Any accomplishment under Lebron's team gets forgotten or credited to Lebron lmao.

@@velvetstigma4961 It doesnt take anything away from Kyrie though, it's exactly like Scottie with Jordan, Praising Jordans 6 rings doesn't take away from the fact he needed Scottie there to do it. Just like how when you praise Lebron it doesnt take away from Kyrie and that Lebron needed Kyrie.

KD had to then ruin shit

@@controversialmann5345 at least warrior dynasty is over and that overrated clown curry takes a back seat every time to Lebron Kobe and MJ them 3 are the goats of the sport

2016 was an amazing year in sports overall. Cubs win the World Series, Patriots win over the Falcons in the most amazing Super Bowl ever. Life was good

@@sebastiandiego5905 I’ll agree with you on that my brother tells me the exact same thing all the time

@@BuckTide-wx2he that's not to mention some of the most amazing individual performances in sports that year too. Aaron Rodgers 'run the table' stretch, Kobe's final game come to mind

Yet, people dragging LeBron for leaving the floor early after a loss in game 3 or 4 (I forget which) of the 2020 Finals?

funny thing is he got so mad he got durant to make lebron go straight to the locker room after 4 games of humiliation

@@pinstripedynasty6117 thats what im saying lmao, klay got his feelings sooo hurt he had to recruit kd, wtf r u on? Im neutral here

@@berwynwantah8969 LOL my bad bro I read and took that wrong because you said after 4 games of humiliation which I thought you meant when they swept LeBron in 18' they humiliated him

That’s Bitchmade for you. Only Draymond who played like a beast in game 7 stayed out there and shook hands after

The best day ever

worst day of mine 😂

im not even american but i can imagine

me too, after my marriage though lol

Absolutely. Lebron haters love disregarding the past and acting like he's never been good just because the Lakers aren't doing well this season, its such a joke. Dudes been an absolute monster in the NBA for 2 decades, he's won championships with every team he's played for. He's a forward who can play every position on the court, post up like a center, pass and facilitate like a point guard, can score from anywhere, has a ridiculous basketball IQ, can lock guys down, steal, block, rebound. He makes his teammates better and is just as much of an athlete now as he was when he came into the NBA. There have been a lot of eras in the NBA, and a lot of dominant players, so it's debatable if he's the best of all time, but he's in the conversation and anyone who disagrees is just a hater or doesn't know anything about the sport. Period.

Greatness recognizes greatness.

😭

Bro u do realize most of his points were scored in the paint after boguts season ending injury. He went from 25 to 35 Pts after bogut and greens absence. And kyrie went from 24 to 30 pts. It’s literally proven that boguts and greens absence shifted the finals in the cavs favor

One of the worst business decisions in NBA history by Klay.

@@Boogaboioringale Wasn't a decision. Just arrogance coming out.

Exactly, lol. Literally tapped in to and unleashed a godly state of mentality and ability at an all-time ultimate level the rest of the series after that comment by Klay. Pure fuel

Damn how old are you 7? Jordan vs the celtics didn’t exist for you. Did it?

@@aliimtiaz113 I said one of the greatest sports performances, not the greatest. Look, I get it, I grew up with Jordan too but we don't have to tear down one to appreciate the other. Both amazing basketball players

@@aliimtiaz113 why are you even getting jordan involved in a vid that has nothing to do with him? 😂 Besides its not like Jordan won that series.

Shaquille Alexander chill dude was joking

Players wanna have a bigger role and get more credit. It's like Kobe's first 3 are under Shaq's shadow even though Kobe was playing like a beset

@Atomhead Gaming it's dumb though because now he's not only in KD' shadow, now he's in Harden's shadow as well

@@YunisRajab i understand the s hadow thing, but they need their team, or their go to person. Kyrie mucked up.

@I tell the truth 1 LeBron doesn't care if people are on fire and want to shoot the ball tho he takes the ball and scores when he needs to and gets everyone involved

He got kd and harden I wouldn't want James either

Bruh the baron Davis era was something else. You remember samardo samuels? 😂😂😂 he was shorter than lebron and I think he was our center. 😂😂😂😂

@@Al-ph6gl omg Samardo lmao, dude was special alright! Best part about Baron Davis was after the Cavs went and tied the longest losing streak in history, the Knicks had picked up Carmelo, and he talked all kinds of ish about how the Cavs won't beat them this time and then they did! Lol I think it was Baron that won that game, or it was Ryan Hollins? I remember one came through to beat the Knicks and then one to beat the Heat one game. Those were the only highlights of the entire season for me lmao

This is the best way to put it. Apart from the Eagles winning, there's nothing else that's happened since that feels anywhere near as relevant.

And it never gets old hearing Mike Breen make that call

16

Lead all players in Blocks, Steals, Rebounds, assists, and points in the series.

The James-infinite blocking-clutch-calls of Mike Breen axis is still an all-timer, and it never gets old.

He becames a wall and canon in the same time 😂

But it didn't and he got two rings after🤷🏾‍♂️

@@dradra2day and 0 finals MVPS just like Lurry 😂

@@Wasrael lol

@@dradra2day He had to cry and beg KD join at Oracle parking lot right after this game to get them two more rings. Lol

@@dradra2day yep and imagine being a so called "lockdown multi-position defending all star" with the 2 greatest shooters of all time on your team, one of which is also the best pg in the league, and you still lose 2 out of 5 rings

These highlights can make you believe he is the goat. Its imo no doubt the best ballin a player has ever done in a NBA Finals.

@@sh0cktim3 he had to bro. That's the only way he could lead them out of that deficit. Leading every player on each team in all stats.

I felt like that with kyrie when I watched the finals.. He was ridiculous😱

He had “the killer instinct” in that series for sure. Very Mj like

@@birdman3217 as if the warriors didn't have Curry, Draymond, Klay and Iggy. Cavs and Warriors pre-KD was actually competitive and balance

Well thats the payback when the cavs cheats in 2016..if cavs didnt cheat in 2016 then durant didnt joined the warriors... Suspension and controversial calls changed the mometum of the series

Durants better than Lebron anyway

Its gotta be 2013 NBA Finals

RIP

Pish posh, this was the only close game. Sure, the narratives and storyline were amazing, all other games were won by more than 14 points. Also, very sorry about your grandma. Mine died when i was 5

Best comment Ive ever read

@@Danimal_McLeod Many thanks. 🙏

They hate the greatness, dude was being compared to Jordan at age 16 and actually fuxking lived up to that hype. This man is an anomaly that none of us will see again in our lifetimes I guarantee it

@@jujuonthatqueef5043 I hear you and I agree. It’s just weird how people can revere someone whom they’ve never even met and absolutely hate someone else of the same profession. And they’ll be like lawyers with their case against him, bringing stats and they truly believe their hatred matters or will make some difference. But they’ll just behave like anybody else. I really hate Skip Bayless. He made it okay for all these trolls to feel empowered. As long as they exist, you cannot have a substantial conversation about basketball on the internet. It’s impossible. He singlehandedly ruined it for the rest of us in the name of enrichment of self.

The Houston series lowkey reminded me of this

Swank Mastermind Yess he’s going GOAT mode now cuz he smells a championship

nahh it should have been called "the moment lebron james took it personally"

@@swankmastermind7407 Yeah, the switch Bron flipped after Game 1 is very comparable to how he flipped in this series.

Lol I swear I started the video over just to count them 😂

I think the only way is try and be as sporadic and unpredictable as possible. Recently, harden had a fast break, no one in front, bron behind and harden did a tiny stutter right before his layup bc he knew

Oh they know about it. For example, Harden got spooked in this series when he looked back so he quickly dunked it. It's just that sometimes they don't even know that he's caught up with them. It's scary.

@@harshgautam97 yeah that's the play I was talking about I think. Lebron had blocked Russ beforehand and harden def had to address it somehow
