Just When We Thought We've Seen It All From Lebron...He Does THIS

Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: heatcheck.info/
Hold on, let’s play that again. On the rebound here Lebron is literally the last guy back. So how in the world did he zoom past the entire Pacer defense all the way for the layup.
And it wasn’t just that. This is the exact same thing, last guy back but look at him flying down the court and he’s gonna be 39 in a few weeks. This is absolutely astonishing.
James had a bunch of these coast to coast runs that ended either with a finish at the rim or with a foul, as it seemed like he wanted to leave everything on the floor, every ounce of energy in order to get that first in-season tournament title.
Right here he is muscling inside, the double team comes but look at the pump fake here and even tho he misses the bunny, Lebron fights for the rebound and puts it back in. Now this is the will to win.
24 points and 11 rebounds along with phenomenal performances in the previous games made him the MVP of the tournament. Now this is something that MJ for sure doesn’t have over him. This finally makes Lebron the goat, am I right?! All jokes aside tho, in this game Anthony Davis was actually the top dog.
And you can spell that D A W G because look at this face. This instantly reminded me of Lebron’s iconic look against Boston.
Look at him flying outside to close out on the shot, then hustling right back to the paint and getting this rejection on Bruce Brown.
Davis had 4 blocks in this game, but it was the offensive domination that got the win for the Lakers.
Look at this lightning quick spin against Turner finishing it off with the nice flip shot.
And the pick and roll with Lebron is unstoppable so you got this…
It wasn’t just the assists that he took from Lebron, but there was some valuable advice as well from the mastermind.
With how inconsistent he is, I feel like the Lakers were sooo lucky to catch him on one of his good days just in time for the championship.
And it was a monster game. 41 points, 20 rebounds and 5 assists. With numbers like that, I guess you can say that you’re him.
41 points on 66% and everything was in the paint. In fact, this was the case for LA as a team.
They scored 86 points in the paint against Indiana. This is not a typo, 86 out of the 123 points total were inside, close to the basket.
There was no messing around with fancy long range shots as the Lakers only shot 13 times from downtown.
Seriously winning a game in today’s NBA by going 2 for 13 from beyond the arc is mind blowing.
But it was something they did on defense that won’em them game.
Follow Haliburton who’s being chased by Vanderbilt way out here. As soon as he runs away from him, it’s Max Christie right in front. On the screen now we got a trap with Anthony Davis.
And let me stop it right here for you to see this. 4 Lakers defenders surrounding Tyrese.
But as we let it roll, I am shocked by LA’s recovery and getting back to their man, as they get the steal right here. Amazing.
In this situation they got 3 guys all over Hali. The Lakers just wanted to get the ball out of his hands, and make somebody else beat them.
Just look at this trap right at half court. It’s extremely rare you see a team trapping this high up.
The Lakers did it consistently in this game, and with good reason because it really paid off for them.
Granted, there were a few situations where Myles Turner would make a shot, or Bruce Brown would hit one of his floaters, but that was LA’s point. Force the other guys consistently make the right decisions in a split second and knock down a shot with the rotation guy coming over at them.
So ultimately it turned out that they weren’t able to sustain that.
The defensive plan was obvious as soon as the game started but even before tipoff D’Angello Russell sort of hinted at it in the pre-game interview.
Tyrese had gone 76 minutes without a turnover, and the Lakers forced him into 2 right at the start of the game in the first 3 minutes.
Obviously this had an impact on him and I believe that other teams will look at this game and will try to implement things for their matchups against Haliburton and Indiana.
So look. In the quarterfinals this team exposed Phoenix’s lack of athletic bigs, punishing them time and time again. I made a video about it explaining everything.
Then in the semis, the Lakers absolutely exposed Zion’s offensive shortcomings as Lebron guarded him like he would guard Ben Simmons. I made a video about that as well and it took off. I’ll make sure to link it at the end.
And now in the finals, LA went after the head of the snake for Indiana and won the game by blitzing Tyrese.
You see how they are methodical and how they look to exploit different teams in different ways.
The Lakers had a phenomenal tournament run and they deservedly take home the money bag.
Damn coach I don’t know how exactly you celebrate christmas but hopefully this half a million will help you survive the holiday season.

What amazed me about this win is that one, the fact that they have only 2 three pointers made. TWO! Against the team where three pointers are their part of the offense. It's like 20-30 years ago when they didnt rely on three pointers, just pure dominance inside and close to the basket. Second is the amazing defense which they held the Pacers to only under 109 points, opposing to their average which is 128 per game. Third, they didn't let Haliburton pop off. Give credit to Cam Reddish, Vando, and AR for their amazing defense against Tyrese. Finally, LeBron and AD. Just pure dominance.

[@ALLinHerMovements]

That’s what I’m loving about basketball right now. More going to the paint and less shooting greedy empty threes all the time.

[@CleverAccountName303]

It was a three-point game with 6 minutes remaining and Indiana missed a ton of wide open threes during this game. The Lakers played good defense and had a good game plan but I wouldn't call it amazing or pure dominance. Indiana could have easily won if they hit a few more wide open threes

[@CleverAccountName303]

@@BlueGrovyle they only tried 13. Indiana tried 41. That is a massive difference. So your "could have been a blowout" is stupid. If both teams shoot their normal percentage on threes, Indiana wins easily. I'm not a fan of either team. I'm from Denver. I'm just talking about how post game commentary swings wildly based on slim margins. Yes, Davis was a monster and Los Angeles has a lot of tall players, yes they had a good game plan. But Indiana missed a lot of open shots. Play that game again and it's probably a different outcome.

@@ZuberiGaming if you really compare the way he usually plays these days, with the way he played in the past, you can see the difference in physicality plain as day. Lebron used to be the most explosive player in the NBA. Could get to the hoop on every possession, but he does that maybe a handful of times a game now. Watch Lebron in transition. Rarely if ever does he sprint back; even if that means the other team gets an easy bucket because he didn't get back. You don't get chase down blocks out of him like you used to either, because he doesn't run the floor. The signs of age catching up to him are there, its just taking longer than most because Lebron got lucky in the gene pool. I honestly don't think he can sustain anywhere near this for the next 5 years. I give it another 2 at max after this season of Lebron being at or over 20ppg. All he wants to do is play with Bronny, then he'll retire anyways

Yelling "I'M HIM" has to be the most cartoonishly absurd phenomenon that has emerged in recent years

This is huge for LJ because on the list of his major accomplishments will be champion and mvp of the nba's first in season tourniment. I haven't seen a video on KZbin in at least a few years claiming LJ was the leagues face, but now they pop up so much I'm bout to have to get King James firewall protection!

0:39 #23 was about to enter the gm’s office and demand another jersey number if that poster went in

I do think that Davis deserved the mvp award though, man dominated the paint.

A team playing traditional without relied on 3s in final is a cherry on the top for fanservice

Ben Simmons, I almost forgot about him. What a disappointing early midlife crisis.

I hope he stays healthy 🤞

The 🐐 of Goats 👑🔥 ft AD 💛💜

EPO and HGH aside (not steroids bros lol) the gameplay is incredible. At the end of the day, let's not pretend these are anything more than enhanced regular season games. The legacies are still built in the post season. Super smart for the upcoming business moves, especially with streaming services vying for live sports content. Not to mention the boost this gives the gambling industry.

This is how he played year 2 on the Heat!!!

[@wickedhate2006]

86pts in the paint, NBA is finally healing

[@bobtwista]

Ar with the hat on backwards, thought that boy was Tom holland for a sec

“The only thing sick was his game”. That’s a bar 🫡🤙🏾

[@judah-je1jm]

Reeves was impressive 👏

[@Drenixx]

AD and Bron getting "Random" Drug test tomorrow hahaha

[@UseVisine]

Before watching the video, I'm going to guess it's the hat throw to AD. Amazing pass over two bystanders.
