Every time Bron gets a chance down block, Reggie Miller transports himself to the scene and says, "I had my shot blocked just like that one!"

[@jamn610]

Lmfaooooo

[@troysmith4506]

I still remember watching that live. So disappointing.

[@BIGMEECHRECORDS]

LEBRON JAMES STRONG LIKE DOWNIQUE WILKINS

[@kamren4322]

PTSD 😂😂😂

[@moxyblackfiddler]

1:24 that was actually a snatch block

[@Ozmosesfr]

Step one : put your head down, initiate crack head SPEED Step two: pick your head up, look for the BALL Step three :chop your steps and take pre jump step Step four : GAME 7 OFF THE BACKBOARD

[@antyMarty]

This man Avery Bradley never learns

[@victoroladipo5732]

I know Bron😂 they never do!!!!

[@diethersantos6404]

Lebron James did you saw cash nasty at 2:38

[@shifty1up]

I WAS JUST THINKING THIS

[@HowTo-hl5rf]

Bronny always blocking he makes it look easy nevermind it does it like a pro and yet it looks hard

[@jevsonkilah79]

GAME 1

[@kurobushi7746]

1:32 the guy guarding James almost dies 😂😂

[@ashiyadelancy]

Sometimes i feel like he purposely throws the ball away just to have a chase down block.

[@212keith]

shy D he knows he can get the block easy thats why

[@Code0866]

LeTurnover---->LeBlocked

[@Baasta]

Even Steph curry scares of him when he chases 😭

[@diegosaavedracarvajal1155]

yeah. That is what i called having the control the ball game. He is a genius of basketball

[@TheHamster24]

Nah his teammates get stolen

[@nikolasjean-baptiste9923]

How many time did he block Avery bradley😂

[@lukasloffler7720]

AnimeSpecialyst lol i was thinking the same like Holy Guacamole

[@AdolphSaxOfficial]

0:32 definitely a foul

[@choward5430]

You'd think Bradley would do something different instead of a 1-2 allow me to time you layup

[@TheSeahawksDidntRunTheBall]

AdolphSaxOfficial Hand is ball in the NBA.

[@loulouversace980]

You haven't seen how many time james blocked rose and rondo lmao

[@Imayrnn]

Poor Avery Bradley lmao 😂

[@yandelmoctezuma4019]

Evil LeBron yes

[@mccormickmeninzor6194]

LeBron is my king

[@TJEversII]

Even if you’re the biggest LeBron hater in the world, you cannot deny this play is godlike.

[@Sithene]

It's like they want to be blocked by Lebron.

[@spreadlove7761]

GREEN TV I can't believe he believed he was gonna dunk on em 😂

[@zzz.tyrone]

I sure would but I ant sacrificing my contract for that 😭

[@baselinejordan1744]

the king of chasedown blocks!!!!

[@zuffyg4772]

Avery Bradley kept getting fucked up by LeBron

[@vincentstafford2573]

and courtney lee

[@joshdye431]

"he stepped on his garden hose" lol

[@magsudhummatov5662]

its like he turns the ball over on purpose to get chase down block

[@malikmack3589]

3:50 dude sitting by the stairs had to leave after that one 😂😂

[@katsu_papi]

chase-down blocks are the best defensive plays of all time IMO...yes, better than dunk blocks. the amount of speed and jumping ability you have to muster as well as evading a potential foul makes it much better and compelling to watch.

[@BiggestChungus21]

I don't know about best. But it's the flashiest

[@NirYuZy]

Also the timing since everything is going on so fast that you might block too early or too late

[@vzm4663]

Its amazing how Lebron is so consistent with these chasedown blocks. It doesn't happen every game, but once a chasedown situation happens, there is always a high chance Lebron's gonna get the block 😂

[@vuksgitau]

He times it almost too perfectly everytime.

[@Namnamnam93]

Damn, "what does a King always do to a Prince?" "He puts him in his place!" ROFL!

[@awesomeguy631]

Dwade deserves a compilation too.

[@gloedup150]

LESPN won't allow another player to get that

[@unworthy0rc312]

Facts he even block Joel embid

[@markfourtwenty9897]

LeBron has more block but DWade's block center which is nastier..

[@jhonwsipayung]

mark fourtwenty wade is the best shot blocking shooting guard. He's number 2

[@jp3813]

+Jhon Sipayung D-Wade's peak for total blocks in a season is 106 back in '09, while LeBron's is 93 in that same year. MJ accumulated 125 & 131 blocks in '87 & '88 respectively.

[@bentwilleager5011]

1:36 I'm more amazed on lance Thomas's flop Than the block tbh

[@zuffyg4772]

Ikr. He rode LeBron all the way up court then flops 😂

[@DanglingDingleBerry]

There was a ref literally standing right next to them and he just shrugs and is like "don't be floppin after your boy got his shit rejected at the rim". Then a ref from the entire other side of the court calls an offensive foul. Total horse shit.

[@smoresblocks9963]

Imagine going for a fastbreak layup and you just hear some fast and loud thumping beside you

[@camerongreenlees7208]

Fun fact: the Celtics already have more wins than the nets did last season

[@Keezus.]

Cameron Greenlees lmao

[@jessicaflacco2060]

LMAOOOO😭😭💀💀

[@devynjackson4296]

The greatest of all time and the greatest chasedown blocker in NBA history

[@trippybandz6406]

Best Blocker Of All Time u can’t name one person that done it better I’ll Wait

[@NateNoggin]

Bradley joined Lebron to prevent this from ever happening again😂

[@jeremyhealy3169]

He’s the best ever at fast break blocks! Not even close!

[@douglaspinsak1246]

It’s interesting that Lebron and Love played together, because they are both the GOATs of things people never really thought about or talked about until them; i.e. Lebron with the chase-down blocks, and K. Love with the outlet passes. Both of which are basically full-court events.

[@TheDrpjs]

Best open court shotblocker

[@keithstroy7847]

The block lebron Had in the 2016 nba finals against Andre igodola was the greatest block in my opinion all time.

[@diegosaavedracarvajal1155]

This video is a gift for all that people who said that Lebron doesnt play defense. Enjoy baby.

[@chunky9791]

3:32 80's baby Jordan fan, but I still appreciate & am in awe of many of these plays! Nothings more demoralizing then a volleyball spike swat lmao.

[@BigstickNick]

“Welcome to the club” - Reggie 😂

[@b.a.2644]

Lebron is one of the greatest defensive players in NBA history

[@MintzRBLX]

3:30 legendary

[@Fr4nz2K]

2:54 its like hes trying to turn it over just so he could block it in the other end 🤣 its like playing 2k and you need to get your defensive badges up

Lebron James is the GOAAAT, and it's not even close anymore 🐐

[@krxstian_9863]

He must got some personal with Avery Bradley

[@GabrieleLazzati]

In 4 years a lot of updates are needed. Btw, these blocks are just so sick. They are better than offense highlights in my opinion

[@KM316-m1b]

Bruh imagine the pressure, you just got a steal on LeBron and you running to lay it up and you see him running after you ready to take your head off at the rim.

[@nuncatanto4122]

Yall missin the one on Jason Richardson with the 360...

[@braedenspringer2836]

Taurean prince got his stuff tossed by lebron😂

[@zionlittle305]

“What does a king always do to a prince”😂😂

[@pg13pacernation30]

The GOAT has his most made three-pointers and best three-point percentage through the first 25 games of a season in his career. "King James" is STILL evolving.

[@chrysostomospapademetriou2814]

0:22 that was clearly a foul

[@iamgrant]

Avery Bradley punching the air rn lmao

Poor Bradley 😂

[@christianjanusgatillo6500]

LeBron says "HELLO" to Tatum by swatting it down hard!

[@NajidWhoThat]

Where is the 2016 block on iggy?

[@iansavii4278]

People should take note of the strategy Steph has adopted. He kinda uses his body to block the person from even having a chance to block you

[@Netsfan24]

A lot of shorter players do this; Isaiah Thomas did it a lot on the Celtics

[@johnjayfortes6840]

Welcome to the NBA🤗🤗🤗

[@clarencedhiechellaloba8173]

look at the score of celtics at 2:30

James Harden 1. Kyrie Irving 2. James 3. Curry 4. Giannis 5. Durant 6. Leonard when he comes back 7. This is as of today

[@ryanshane5776]

Its like Lebron lets them get ahead of him just so he can chasedown. He like pauses, then starts to run😂😂😂

[@Jan-zy8cv]

Now we know why Bradley went to LA

[@MichaelA-fy8fq]

1:53 ... oh the irony kyrie

[@lukesr12]

The greatest player to walk the Earth.

[@BilliversaaL]

LeBron James' Best Blocks on Avery Bradley | ESPN

[@cameronfowler2670]

One of the very few things Lebron actually consistently did better than MJ… the chase down. 💪🏽

[@colten4333]

Other than shooting 3's, passing, and rebounding.

[@jaa1x]

other than 3s and playmaking

[@nbassasin8092]

Im sorry but lets stop with that narrative. From someone who has MJ as his 1, Lebron has plethora of things he does/did better. But NBA isnt about who is the most all around but who can fill in crucial roles the best

[@cameronfowler2670]

@@nbassasin8092 he ain’t MJ babyyyy. Agreed 👌🏽

[@nbassasin8092]

@@cameronfowler2670 Well no he aint. But MJ aint him as well, Id argue he is more all around player than MJ was, more complete but again, NBA does not work on that axis, so pointless debate

[@michaelg5932]

2:35 Jayson Tatum gets blocked by LeBron James and the points were still counted😂

[@MixTape313]

2nd block was a clean foul. all hand on bradley

[@TonyThaDon]

It's crazy how people dismiss Broj's iconic chase downs

[@donyutejamaica631]

Who had most blocks after 10 years in league: Kobe; MJ LBJ or Dwade?

[@knucklesaukuso5086]

Good question not sure I’d say Bron cos he’s a Dinosaur still going 💪🏽🤣

[@YoungGuwop]

LeBron with the defensive footwork

[@Ma1q444]

“What does a king do too a Prince” 😂😂

[@crimzon_x4441]

He puts him in his place 😀

[@Mmm-er7ld]

Mannnn 2:28 Gordon Hayward is just about to break his leg That’s the same game

[@Zagor24]

lol poor bradley must be waking up in the middle of the night thinking lebron is behind him xd

[@allozulul5724]

May I ask, who do you guys think the greatest Chase Down Blocker in NBA History

[@Netsfan24]

It’s hard to say, the chase down block isn’t a closely monitored stat; I’d say Kawhi, Lebron and Giannis are in the discussion. As far as older players, maybe Pippen but I’m 24 and follow the modern nba more closely.

[@boristheb1ad3x67]

This should be reedited. He had a few more 😂😂

[@Karma-hy6ki]

3rd best player all time currently. When he retires he could be higher. We are witnessing greatness

[@juandionicio5755]

Karma 3rd?

[@juandionicio5755]

Shahzada Mirza stfu

[@restart5524]

He easily Top 3.Could be GOAT if he wins two more rings.

[@jamarilittlejohn6345]

Karma already the best...

[@donyutejamaica631]

King James, 3rd best player all time ?!? What the $$#%?! ridiculous! King James is El numero uno!

[@willm678]

Avery Bradley is like a Lebron block magnet

[@AndyZach]

On the last block of Schroeder, LBJ was above the square. Good thing for the league he's lost some athleticism. (sarcasm)

[@michaelmicul2450]

music at 1:22 Please

[@Kylle-kz1eg]

This is the first time that i saw my man blocking JT😲😲😲

[@dollyllama133]

watching gordon hayward in a celtics jersey is just eerie

[@ther5650]

The block on iggy in game 7 was the greatest defensive play in sports history.

[@choward5430]

all Iggy had to do was head fake or go to the other side. The other thing is Iggy was injured 'cause if he was 100%, that's a dunk.

[@ther5650]

Didn't you hear. Lebron said he was gonna block it even if he reversed it. Also iggy had just dunked earlier that game so I think he was fine. Honestly do you poeple use the injury exscuse on every warroirs player that series?????

[@christophercolumbus2733]

ther 5 do people use the LEBRON HAS NO HELO EXCUSE EVERY YEAR?

[@LuffyxBoa1931]

Did somebody see the score change when Lebron James block the shot

[@causeyoureke]

Avery Bradley just never learned 😭
