No NBA player had the amount of pressure Lebron did that night, and he answered spectacularly. For that reason I think it's one of the top 3 playoff performances of all time.

[@Jukeboxster]

I still think it's the best game he's ever played. He looked like he had no soul that night, expressionless face

[@darkequ1nox264]

Clevelander here. I have watched LeBron since his HS days at St. Vinvent St. Mary’s. I have been a fan ever since. I watched every game of his in Miami that I could. I never understood the hate that he received when he left CLE. I was thrilled when he came back and I watch him to this day. Even in HS, he shared the ball with his teammates, he made everybody better. He was unselfish in his play, and just wanted to win. I will never forget his 4th season against Detroit and in the 4th quarter it was LeBron against Detroit…five against 1, and he was unstoppable. We will never see another LeBron. A once in a lifetime player…..

[@davidvalsechi9582]

That was definitely his peak best game especially talking postseason. My personal 2nd best game in the playoffs by him I thought in his first time around in CLE was 2006 ECF against the Pistons when he took over the last half half of the 4th quarter and OT against a stacked pistons team to beat them 4-2 and go to his 1st Finals where he was hitting everything and scored the last 29 of 30 pts for CLE to beat the pistons and it was a back and forth hitting shots between the Pistons and LeBron both responding with buckets each time. Incredible game ending. Especially since it was his first time taking over to advance his team at such a young age of 22 I believe. Was amazing, they weren’t supposed to even be in that Finals as a team, that was Lebron vs Spurs in that Finals sweep. The Pistons would have made it a series because they had a deep team. But sometimes 1 incredible player can beat an incredible team a game. And Bron has done it a handful of times through his career in the postseason and finals. The Chosen One, King James y’all!

[@DM-3000]

If there was ever a time where LeBron showed that he had the killer instinct like MJ or Kobe, it was during this series. He was so focused and so serious, it was like witnessing a DARK side of him to where you didn’t really see him as the LeBron we’ve all come to know over the years. He was someone else and somewhere else mentally and he completely dominated in that game with no show of emotion.

[@MICjordanTPR]

The utter lack of emotion was almost frightening. He looked like a Terminator out there.

@@dja1647 man where is the reach? Bill wasn’t on the same level as Wilt, numbers confirm that. Michael had better teams than lebrons teams period. 95-96 bulls was and still is better than any lebron team assembled minus the 2012-13 heat. One could argue the 2016 cavs were one of the greatest teams assembled over one of Jordan’s teams. But lebron shouldn’t be compared to MJ more like magic, wilt and Kareem. Can even throw cats like Oscar Robertson in there too.

I'll never forget that game, as a Lebron fan, coming off the 2011 collapse, to being down 3-2 to the freaking Celtics after losing to them previously in Cleveland. Leading up to Game 6 arguing with Kobe fans and Lebron haters, being nervous like man is this happening again? At tipoff my heart beating like im playing lol, watching Lebron warm up with this psychotic look on his face, believing that my guy is focused and about to go off but in the back of your head remembering 2010, 2011, and the rhetoric from Lebron haters saying man is it over? The whole world rooting for him to fail, and he out of the gate destroyed Boston, where the game felt over in 6 minutes, while still feeling the nerves from any Boston run to cut the lead and watching Lebron keep control of the game and never let up. Amazing!

Lebron said I am going to build s school for underprivledged kids. I am going to make sure they have a chance. He did it. There are kids in college today, getting a chance because he is the person he is. One thing I know. NEVER bet against Lebron, and if he says he is going to do something, he will.
