We Thought This Was Impossible 

“He’s no longer a guy who’ll give you chase down blocks from behind” -Colin Cowherd during the 2016 NBA finals

“He may not be the best at one thing, but he is one of the best at everything” spot on, what a perfect way to describe him

Since Jimmy made this video, these are Lebron's splits/efficiency for the last 7 games; 36ppg 11rpg 6apg 58 fg% 42 3pt% Not to mention, on New Years Eve, Bron was 43/14/4 w/ 2stl/2blk on 61% fg & 50% 3pt (Five 3's) in 29min. The man is unreal.

10:46 LeBron is now the only player with 38K points, 10K rebounds and assists. Longevity at its finest

The fact LeBron is still playing at this high a level at almost age 37 is insane. The guys been in the league for almost 20 years and he is still one of the all time greats. I’m so glad I’ve gotten to witness his career as long as I have. We may never see another player like him ever.

The Confidence at the end gave me chills

This video gave me literal chills and choked me up. Two decades. The man just can’t be human at this point.

Love having Jmmy remind me of Lebrons greatness from time to time. So easy to get lost in the sauce and forget to give thanks to moments we will long for in the future.

Man this was a real masterpiece. Perfect execution Jimmy.

"LeBron's career is older than half the people watching it" Perfectly sums it all up...

Dwyane said himself that he's watched Bron turn and ankle that would have him out 2 weeks and just tighten his shoe up. Out of all his physicals Lebron's strength is the most overlooked. He is built perfectly to take the knocks of the sport. He's huge and got the quick twitches, but his ligaments, tendons and overall frame just keep him ģoing. Not fair in anyway, but it doesn't say anywhere it has to be.

As a Clevelander I am proud that LeBron was the one to win us a championship after 50+ years.

Jimmy is so kind to point out so eloquently with a graph that we're all slowly dying. xD EDIT: I'm 33. After I ball, I always have ibuprofen on standby. -__-

Last week he dropped damn near 60 points on Golden States' Head and put up 50 points last night. Dude really is amazing.

Content like this is what makes it so hard to watch the news, tv, movies. So well put together and fact based. Seriously, how much time goes into making a video like this? Just phenomenal presentation.

Im not LeBrons number one fan, but man, when he retires Im gonna shed a tear for sure. Such an icon. All those memories and crazy games, he gave us and keeps on giving us performances for the ages.

This video helped show the longevity and greatness of LeBron's career. But, it also showed how great Kareem was. The dude played a full college career before playing 20 seasons in the NBA. Incredible

That’s crazy man. Just yesterday at the age of 34 two days ago he scored 56 on the WARRIORS. I’m definitely gonna cry when he retires. The man gave it his all.

The journey wasn’t easy, but the destination was worth every minute. He may not be my favorite player of all time, but I have nothing but respect for LeBron and his legacy.

The ‘clubs’ at then end tells a remarkable tale, with LBJ projected at going 41k/12k/12k, and no one else being past 30k/5k/5k. Absolutely humbling and awe-inspiring when put in those terms

No matter how you feel about Lebron you have to admit what this man has been able to do is incredible

1 year after this vid was posted nothing has changed

Bro I was 3 years old when LeBron was drafted. THREE. Like, I don't even have any memories from then. And I've finished college now and this dude is STILL putting up the same numbers, like he JUST got drafted. Insane.

I just can't get enough of the charts where he shows all the great players and then he says well here is Lebron and he has to like zoom out to see him at the peak of the chart! Truly amazing stuff.

As someone with no real interest in basketball, this was well made and explained for even someone who doesn't know much about the game. Nice work. LeBron seems absolutely absurd

I am here after James dropped 40 on OKC with 5/5 3 pointers and 9/9 FTs. Lol man is just 7 days shy of turning 39 yr old dude. 🐐🐐🐐

This shit made me tear up with how good it is. Props to you Jxmmy for making this masterpiece

I am a fan of Jimmy

I legitimately got chills at the end when he said "I told you so" at the end. My goodness what a career this kid had!

There's lots of stories of people who defy all expectations to become NBA stars and, while that's obviously amazing and very impressive, I don't think people appreciate how incredible it is for someone who had to deal with being the most hyped basketball prospect of all time as a 17 year old not only living up to but exceeding those expectations.

Jxmy, I’m 42 years old and 5’6”. Never played basketball, never watched basketball, never been interested in basketball. But I love every single one of your videos that I’ve watched! They are so well put together that makes me interested in something that I’m not interested in. Outstanding in every way!

Can we take a moment to appreciate what this man has been doing on a consistent basis? I’m talking about Jimmy of course , the man has been putting up THE best videos the NBA community has ever seen and nobody is talking about it. Here’s a chart that shows every NBA RU-vidr with over 200K subs 📊

Apologies for mixing sports, but watching this reminded me of a couple of the greatest hockey players ever. Gordie Howe was a top 5 scorer in the NHL for 20 consecutive seasons. And when Chris Bosh was mentioned, it reminded me of this mind blowing stat. Between Gordie Howe's first and last NHL games, Bobby Orr was born, made it into the NHL, played his whole career, and was elected into the hall of fame. It's absolutely insane. Gordie Howe's highest season point total in the NHL came when he was 40 years old. And when you mentioned LeBron having all that hype as a 17 year old and exceeding the hype. Wayne Gretzky was dubbed "The Great One" when he was 10 years old. He was making the news in those days and there were headlines about how he was worth paying to see. Great video. I particularly liked the points, rebounds, assists career totals talk.

This video was actually a masterpiece. Very well done. The way you portray info to your fans is second to none

It's sad that he is still a TOP 5 player, and his TEAM is letting him down 😔

Truly can't understate how well you've put in to words the impossible odds of Lebron James' career

This may be one of Jimmy’s best videos ever 💯🔥 puts the whole debate of why this era is so much more talented then previous era’s into a whole different perspective…

This video was made so well, I hope Lebron gets to see this. As a GSW fan, I give LeGoat all the respect he deserves. You’re a true King Lebron! I only wish you good health on and off the court!

I can't imagine the league without LeBron, we've been spoiled by his greatness and we're indeed witnesses. Great video Jxmy

I’ll be 100% honest. I’m 39, and when Lebron came into the spotlight I was on that Darius Miles time and thought he was going to be all hype. I thought he was nothing more than a high school bully. Over the past 20 years I’ve been proven wrong time and time again and now can honestly call myself a fan. People often let his opinions on certain topics cloud their judgement and they refuse to admit they’re witnessing something truly special. Enjoy it while it lasts because we may never see anything like him again.

Shivers down my spine, watching that ending. Damn man.

You're honestly so good at this. Respect to you and the 11 dudes who must be behind the scenes workin on this shit.

One Word "Respect"

That 25ppg stat just goes to show how Bron is a monster, but also what a beast at scoring Kareem was to still be ahead.

11:03 truly insane. Bron is my GOAT and there is not a single thing you could say to me about jordan or kobe that would begin to change my mind. watching bron night n night out for 20 years. this dude is NOT HUMAN. 40k 10k 10k is the deffinition of the greatest of all time.

12:03 "and his alien-like ability slowly fades away"...i dont know why im crying

It is crazy because I remember his hype coming in and honestly I didn't think he'd live up to it. Yet he's more than surpassed everyone's draft day expectations of him. Even for 100 more years you can't say NBA without thinking of LeBron.

That was outstanding my dude, an incredible depiction of his career. A huge Jordan fan and I must say I need to watch this again I think 🤔

I think we all forget that he’s a champion human being as well. Philosophy out the ahhh, no rape or cheating allegations, no drug or crime issues, no gambling or cheating in sports.. Just an all round legend.

JEEEEESHHH Jimmy!!! why are my eyes tearing up man? I cant stand you and your excellent 15 minute documentaries. Great job bro! Simply amazing.

This man has literally been a household name in the sport pretty much my whole life. The day he retires will be a very sad day indeed. Truly the end of an era.

The Confidence at the end gave me chills. No pressure just doin what I love.

That montage around 5 mins in has literally had me crying with laughter for a day and a half. "Bruh"🤣. Thank you.

The way you deliver it was amazing keep up the good work jimmy🔥🔥

"Any guesses to who this player is?" *Shows literal smudge of pixels No Jimmy, no I cant

This makes me curious about what a model would look like for players who went straight to the league compared by style/position…Not spending your absolute prime years body-wise in college ball. Establishing yourself early. The likes of KD and Kobe played/will play long as using those early 3/4 seasons not in college will help vs the backend 3/4 seasons where each year cost a lot more in terms of durability points. Duncan and curry both have very specific styles that are favorable to a longevity but even TD waned to your point. We’ll never know, but had Lebron spent time in collegiate ball, I’d wager that would have been an exponential headwind on his durability in the NBA. Another jam packed gem, much love

As Kobe fan this is one of my fav videos of yours Jxmy! I’ve seen it at least 3 or 4 times. You’re the goat of nba videos

I am more of a Kobe fan but LeBron's prowess cannot be underestimated one bit 😀

If you add in all his playoff games, it equals to 22 seasons and a quarter. INSANE

i CANT STAND HOW MUCH HATE HE GETS. We have been witnessing greatness for almost 2 decades now. People should just appreciate him while he is still in the league.

EPIC! hands down for the most versatile players ever, not to mention the longevity, this video brought me to tears! thank u Jimmy!

Your videos are great. Love the data, well written. Keep it up!

You right Jxmy mans has more miles on him than a 93 Honda lol it’s crazy to see what LeBron has done at an age where people struggle to keep going

Always a good day when jimmy uploads

5:02 We not gonna talk ab that 😂😂

This jimmy dude man. Every content is just amazing to watch. ♥️

I will say I don’t think you could call Tim Duncan “bad” in his last season. He wasn’t giving you 20 and 10 a night anymore, but he was one of the most important pieces of a 67-win Spurs team that - statistically - was one of the best defenses ever. He led the league in defensive box plus-minus and was 2nd in defensive rating. He wasn’t playing like a superstar anymore, but I don’t think he was bad.

At this point, throughout maybe 3/4 of his career, Lebron was the best player on his team and carrying it hard. His first stint with the Cavs, the second, Lakers and continuing. God, what a monster

5:02 had me dying 🤣🤣 i swear that bruh was just perfect

Jimmyhigh roller is the GOAT. NO body puts together quality credible NBA content like you! Don't change!

8:00 it's durant (difficult to see)

this is an all time classic

So nice to watch something with facts backing it up and not just yelling louder to prove a point. Cheers

Best nba content youtuber ever. Goosebumps bro. Keep it up. It's addicting. Lol

No words for this masterpiece. Jimmy I can’t express the feeling I have right now after watching that. Perfection

Iconic iconic man who’s greatness will probably never be truly understood, on and off the court. Absolute legend and a pleasure to watch him my entire life

Really appreciated this video, amazing and quality content. I think that because the NBA has seen such a talent explosion recently, I've started to appreciate LeBron's greatness less. Since there are so many contributors and highlight makers on different teams, I feel like the attention of the NBA has shifted away from LeBron. It's not like the league ignores he's still there, but there's less chatter about his presence in the game compared to a few years ago. This video really helps reaffirm his status as maybe the GOAT and it's phenomenally made. Side note, but what software do you use to make your data visualizations?

Jim-as always outstanding-especially loved the last 45 seconds-brilliant!

Jimmy never disappoints

His sustained excellence coupled with a perfect all around game is unmatched. So happy I have got the chance to watch him in my lifetime.

This is the greatest basketball video I’ll ever seen in my life. We are gonna miss the 🐐. The most complete athlete and player ever. What a video👍🏾🐐

You're one of the best storytellers for basketball I've heard.

I can't explain how I'm feeling, this video is beautiful, lebron's game is beautiful & his career is once in a generation. I'm crying over this like deadass, never stop giving the best their roses y'all

The way you visualized Lebron's longevity really put into perspective just how durable and great he is. He ain't called King James for nothing 👑👑

That “Invitation Only” graphic was mind boggling.

Well, he just scored 46-8-7 😆

To Jimmy's point, Im 25 and I can barely run nor jump anymore lol And this is coming from someone who dunked at the age of 15 and was a top national track and field runner back on HS.

I won’t lie, I used to hate on lebron back in the day but now I just can’t help but root for him. Never seen a man put so much effort into something without burning out one little bit in my whole life. It really is inspiring to see. I hope this man wins at least another ring before he retires.

This might be my favorite video on RU-vid. Its so well done

2 years later and he's still dominating

That progression graph was so insane. Represents Bron’s greatness shined toward his longevity of consistency. When Durant’s career is over, I think he will be at least top 10 counting he at least gets MVP this season and possibly a championship

Thank you for this. By now, I've come to admire him so much for his dedication, his consistency, and the sportsmanship he displays every night. He is by far (in my eyes) the best player ever to play the game of basketball. No ifs or buts. As much as I hate the Lakers losing so much this season, it's still a treat to watch him play. The same feeling I had when I wouldn't miss a single game by Jordan. It was always an experience. I know father time will give him his due respect, I know he deserves it.

You just get crazier with every vid you make these better and better

Wow, mind blowing video. Thanks for giving us facts. Definitely appreciate Lebron's greatness. Thanks Jimmy.

“A Jack of all Trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one”

Excellent piece. There were so many players that were supposed to be the "Next Jordan". I remember all the hype being surrounded by LeBron and I couldnt help but to think that he was just another young kid who wouldnt live up to the hype or expectations. My fandom grew by the possession it seems. He was electric! He was a lock down defender, he could bring the ball up the floor, he could score from anywhere, he would pass the ball and get his teammates involved. Even if a player would miss a couple shots in a row LeBron would go right back to him and a lot of times that player would make the shot. It seems like every game was must see tv. I'd always get up out my seat for something LeBron did on the court. I remember when he first started to do chase down blocks, the refs would always call goaltending, eventually they would get it right. I remember as the clock would wind down going in to halftime, LeBron would always seem to get the rebound off an opponents miss, run up the floor and shoot a half court buzzer beater and HIT like every other game. BOX OFFICE!!!! His game reminded me of my own, accept he was 6'8 with super human athleticism. I liked to watch Jordan play but I always felt like he was a ball hog. Same with Kobe. I have the utmost respect for both their games. For me, LeBron became the best player I had ever seen when he carried the Cavs to the Finals in 07. That performance he put on against the Detroit Pistons was epic, he was only 22 years old. In fact, I truly believe that his performance was so great that NBA Greats like Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen all got on the phone with each other and discussed joining forces in Boston so that they could take on that young man. Its been a beautiful thing following Bron's career, I was too young to remember Jordan in the 80s but I caught all of him in the 90s. I remember being disappointed that he retired twice. I remember being a Penny Hardaway fan but disappointed because he couldnt stay on the floor. I remember being a Reggie Miller fan but always being disappointed because he would always take an L in the playoffs. I remember becoming an Allen Iverson fan but being disappointed because he would always be in trouble or hurt. I remember liking to watch Kobe but wasnt a big fan of his because he was also a ball hog. I remember becoming a TMac fan but was disappointed because he too would be plagued by injuries. Then came LeBron James. The first game I sat and watched was the Cavs vs Mavs. The Mavs were red hot in the mid 2000s. LeBron would come in to town and toy with the Mavericks. We had a couple players who were spectacular role players and lock down defenders. Their names were Marquis Daniels and Josh Howard. I remember Bron having his way with them almost like he gave them $40 for a service. hahaha. I'll never forget Bron driving baseline and taking off on 1 leg with Josh Howard being draped all over him and double clutching and did some sort of sideways 2 handed jam on the front of the rim. That may have ended Josh Howards career, it seems like after that he went on to become a pot partaking player, a weed smoking activist if you will. I'm not sure what happened to Marquis Daniels, he hit the trade block and was never heard of again. I watched every game of LeBron's from that point on. I've been engaged in so many arguments debating people about who is the GOAT LeBron or MJ. Its Bron and its not even close anymore. Bron Kobe Kd MJ and Steph are the best basketball players I've ever seen. In That Order!

2 weeks later lebron is now averaging nearly 29 this man is a god

I hope to god Jimmy is happy with his life. Man produces content to the level that should put him as an ESPN exec.

This made me kind of emotional I can’t lie, I don’t ever want to see him go!

watching these videos is like watching a cinematic movie. Its perfect. I love how he makes all his points based off statistics and not opinions. Truly great ! Wonderful video broski
