LeBron James Full Game 1 Highlights vs Warriors 2018 NBA Finals - 51 Pts, 8 Ast, 8 Reb

[@cl312]

Even though LeBron was swept in this series, for a brief moment in game one it looked at times that LeBron can single handily beat these Warriors. For a short amount of time, it looked like not even 4 all stars can beat LeBron. Incredible.

Look at LeBron's old Cleveland team when he was young those teams weren't very good but Cleveland had a very good defense when he was young only thing that was missing was LeBron couldn't take over games if he still had that defense from his teammates plus what he brings to the table now he could beat Golden State last year that's the scary thing even with George Hill and people like that around and people don't like to admit it

[@JahleelX-xx9wd]

@@basketballgod2791 I wouldn't call hitting game winners, scoring the Cavs last 25 points in double ot, and having to drop no less than 30 a game to bring his team to the finals, with 7 40 point games a good team. Nor is it enough to beat the warriors.

It would have been especially game 2 , Lebron would have no pressure after winning this game , he probably would have went off in game 2 just to go up 0-2 but the rest f him and cavs up not only on that offensive foul by Kevin Durant, it was way to close to change that call and go to review but just take a look at the play before that happened when commentators say Lebron oh he double clutches and scores , well go to reply that and watch how Lebron didn’t double clutch he got hit and fouled by Green who hit Lebron on the elbow before he scored should have been and 1 and that would have been the difference cuz than Kevin Durant play never happens only if the make the right call and they did NOT ! Than of course Hill missing that free throw my god how bro ??? That would have been game right there however the Mvp of that game was Klay Thompson whom grabs Hill so he don’t score Hill had a lay in that’s why Lebron passed the ball and Klay leaves his guy and grabs Hill and fouls him great and quick thinking . Than of course jr smith who gets rebound by him self under the team just lay the ball in game , or lay it in off back board Durant couldn’t block it or up and under rim lay in game over or call a time out and he did NOTHING but run the clock out :( and that was it for Lebron and Cavs right there !

Lebron needs to stop passing the ball turn into the Lebron 2018 when he was with cavs here and take over games however this year is different to be fair tho this ain’t his 17th season anymore with all the break and now starting play offs again it’s basically his 18th season and he just doesn’t look comfortable as he was before the break , doesn’t trust his shot at all , either goes for 3s all takes it inside for some reason even missing lay ups, he forgot about mid range for some reason don’t even take those mid range jump shots like he did vs Raptors idk why tho :( hopefully they can handle Blazers tonight even tho it will be hard since we are missing Bradly our best defender !

I was driving back from work streaming this game in heavy traffic. I couldn’t believe what I was watching, Bron was beating a whole ass team, single handily. Arrived home for the fourth quarter only to witness probably the biggest robbery I’ve ever seen in sports. That charge call was criminal. This game is a classic but man, what could’ve been. The more I watch the more I appreciate this game, look at the warriors defense! They were great all year, and during this game, especially in the fourth, they just sat back and were in awe like the rest of us ahhaha look at David West on the end of the bench...they were totally demoralized.

How many times did the refs call a clean swipe a foul against the cavs? How many times did they not call the fouls on lebron?

There's a reason we have GOAT debates between MJ and LeBron. And why Curry or KD are never mentioned in the same breath. For me LeBron is the GOAT. He literally destroyed a team with 5 HOF players, dropped 51 pts himself while keeping his teammates involved (something MJ can't do). They only lost the game due to JR smith choking and biased refs. When has MJ ever had to play against a team as stacked as the Warriors in the finals, and teammates as bad as LeBron's teammates in 2018? Finals record doesn't matter. No one player has added more value to a team than LeBron James. He literally took a lottery team to the finals ffs. He's the GOAT no doubt.

[@tiktokexposed898]

MJ never played a team even close to the warriors. He had it easy. Lebron faced dynasties and stacked teams every year

[@thechosengray]

@@tiktokexposed898 this why I don’t get why Jorsexuals don’t fuckin understand this, LeBron can literally take any team to the FINALS, he proves to me every time he’s the 🐐, he’s literally don’t the impossible and proved himself why he’s goat status, his Finals record would be nicer if KD didn’t already join a stacked Warriors with two of the greatest shooters and a DPOY… like how is LeBron gonnna beat that added with an all-time scorers. MJ is not and will nowhere be close to beating a team like that since he’s always had the best players at all times, you can’t blame him but it’s just the way it is.

[@rad_iation1193]

4 All Star vs 1 Champion 4 Warriors vs 1 King Solo vs Squad This performance of Lebron is Legendary. He can beat this 4 All Stars in a single minute of the game. Lebron is so strong and have a lot of strategies. It really feel worst when he's team is just like doing nothing while he is carrying he's team to a championship. * Win The Battle But Lose The War * Lebron is really a tough guy. He's a champion in this season, although he didn't win a trophy but he is a champion in the court. And in that performance of Lebron James, I really see that he is playing higher level of the game than Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan accomplished championship with Pippen. But Lebron, he can win a championship in that game if JR Smith is not such a very stupid dumb. This is the proof why Lebron is a GOAT for me. He can win championship without a super team and he can take down a whole Super Team and the whole squad of the Warriors

It’s honestly disgusting having to watch LeBron pick up the slack for the rest of his team. He could not have played any better than he did tonight.
