Warriors maybe the exception but the Cavs played the single best game of the Finals in 2017 Game 4, if he had true will and determination and relentlessness and truly made his teammates better he could have won that series. .. and eerybody talking about Going 16 points to none of his teammates only proves that Lebron doesnt make his teammates better.

I won't even lie to yall, I was a Bron hater at first but after he went back to back and a very impressive 2013 Season I started becoming a fan. 2016 coming back from 3-1 was what solidified it for me, and this 2018 playoff run crystalized it for me. I'm sorry but in my entire life of hooping, I don't think a prime Kobe or prime Jordan could carry a team to the Finals by themselves. I know it's a team game, but he had no business even getting to the ECF let alone the Finals. I'll take 2018 Bron over anyone. When Bron isn't playing the game and just hoops with a clear mind, he is literally unstoppable bro!

[@charlieann5444]

Lebron James has overtaken Jordan long time ago. Jordan's 6-0 and 3 peats were an old generation's record and doesn't count anymore. The last time a team won a 3 peat was 21 years ago with Kobe Bryant. There's a compelling reason for this. Post Kobe's era, basketball teams and players have grown so talented and very competitive it is virtually impossible for a single team to dominate and mount another 3 peat. And yet despite this, no other player has dominated this game for so long and so consistent except for Lebron James. As for MJ's fans, so sorry to say that all you've got are nostalgia from old videos and footages from the past including records won out of weak opponents.

[@user-oh4jd7ku2d]

Perfectly said. What Lebron has accomplished in this generation is just as good as what Jordan accomplished in his generation. In MJ’s generation it was easier to dominate with one team and create a dynasty. The closest thing we’ve had to a dynasty like that in this generation were the warriors and even they had to do something crazy to keep that dynasty building.. which was bringing one of the best players in the league KD to a 73-9 stablished team. And even they couldn’t achieve a three peat. It’s just to difficult. Injuries or not, the competition in todays nba is unmatched and nobody will ever dominate a whole decade like those bulls teams did in the 90s unless someone creates a superteam even worse than the KD warriors. Yea the bulls were what they were in the 90s because of MJ but they were a superteam for their time.

[@user-oh4jd7ku2d]

Team dominance and accomplishments shouldn’t be a factor in GOAT conversations. It’s not fair that an all time great player had the opportunity to have the best team in the league as well while other all time great player had to carry his team most of the time. On the MJ vs Lebron conversation we always bring the 6-0 and the bulls dominance as a factor. Shouldn’t be like that. It’s a teams sport and MJ wasn’t alone in that 6-0 90s run. He had plenty help. If we compare by just the player give me lebron any time. There’s never been a guy more dominant and all around greater than him

I swear when you have Lebron on your team you ain’t worried about strategies or other players that’s how great he is

[@MrClebophd]

I think these highlights compile the greatness of LeBron. Usually, in team sports, the better team wins, even if the other team has the best player. This happens because the opposing team can make someone else beat you which they don't four times out of seven games. The best player can carry his team to wins in singular games, but not playoff series. Great players like Wilt Chamberlain, Kevin Garnett and Tracy McGrady had a really hard time with this. The same happened with young MJ who couldn't beat the Celtics and Pistons at first despite being the best player. However, LeBron James is the only player who consistently were on worse teams but still managed to win. The experts were like "The pacers/celtics/raptors have a better team, but the Cavs have LeBron James...."

[@scoop2448]

Lol he beat oladipo, defrozan and baby celtics with no Kyrie. Dont forget he had all star Love. But Lebron also lost when he had better teams/records. 2009, 2010 and 2011. Young Lbj didnt beat Celtics and Pistons except the 2007 53 win pistons. Cavs only had 3 less wins. In 1989 MJ as a 6 seed beat 2 higher seeds and took the champ pistons to 6 games.

[@MrClebophd]

@@scoop2448 You're absolutely right. LeBron is one of the worst players to ever play. He only gets contracts because his social platform. Whenever he played and won, he was just a marginal bench warmer happy to be along for the ride. He is not the NBA total scoring champion, and his impact on the game is minuscule. Furthermore, he is also the smallest, weakest and dumbest player to ever grace the basketball floor. He can't score, pass, rebound or defend. His closest rival was some rookie who got cut. Finally, he has no fans, and there are no highlight that are being watched over and over again.

@@scoop2448 I'm sorry. I never said that LeBron always won every series he played in, but he is the first to consistently win with a lesser team multiple times. Also, the 2011 Mavs were a better, more experienced team than the 2011 Heat. I remember the sports experts feeling torn: "X has a better team, but the Cavs have LeBron James".

In my view, Hakeem in 1994 is the largest individual load that anyone has carried for a Title or FInals run. He became the first player to lead a Finals/Title team in 5/5 categories for the ENTIRE Playoffs. Think about that for a second. Hakeem was the best scorer, rebounder, passer, stealer, shot-blocker, and best overall defender on his team for the playoffs... and won the title. The other remarkable thing about this title run is that Hakeem became the only player to win the title without another Hall of Famer and without another player who made the all-star team.

sure but was the offensive talent as great as it is today? and how many plays did they run? keep in mind, the triangle offense that the bulls and lakers ran was considered new and special during that time, nowadays its just a norm. and every team has a massive playbook to use. I see what youre saying and tbh its what the player does in his era with what hes got that defines greatness so i can concede that Hakeem was indeed an immense force - unfortunately, where i disagree with you is lebrons early cav days and 2012/2018 were simply a much more harder scenario to get past than what Hakeem had to. think about it, the early cavs teams are not even talked about because no one even remembers who played on those teams other than lebron, and lebron willed that team to the finals lol. and lebrons continued to do this for 2 decades. thats just insanity. with the tools lebron was given, he easily outshined kobe himself. was AN MVP OVER KOBE himself! just saying. If kobe is considered todays jordan then lebron has a 16-6 record against him - that has to mean something. Honestly, i wish we saw a kobe+lebron team - those team USA games where both were on the same team was just truly insane.

​@@quicktoreason2722 Strongly disagree. I don't think you've done much research on Hakeem. In his 2nd season he carried the 1986 team to the Finals without starting guard John Lucas past Magic/Kareem's defending champ Lakers and took the 1986 Celtics to 6 games with Sampson ejected in Game 5. From 1987 to 1994, Hakeem played with one of the worst supporting casts of all-time as Sampson was injured in 1987 and left soon after. In 1987 Hakeem lost to the Sonics in the WCSF despite putting up 30-13 with 4 bpg on 60%. In 1988 he put up 2000 Finals MVP Shaq-type numbers with 38-17-2-2-3 on 57% yet his garbage team couldn't get him out the first round. As for early Lebron, he was carrying them but not vs good playoff teams. He only beat one 50 win team in the playoffs during his time on Cavs from 2003 to 2010. From 2006 to 2010, 4 of 8 teams LeBron beat in the Playoffs were 0.500 or worse 2007 - two 0.500 teams, the 53 win Pistons without Ben Wallace (17-13 record vs West) 2012 - he had Wade and Bosh. He beat a couple good teams but old Celtics had a losing 7-11 record vs West, no Avery Bradley due to injury "and lebron willed that team to the finals lol. and lebrons continued to do this for 2 decades" This is just absurd. He only carried 2 teams to finals (07 and 18). And his competition was weak compared to west. The other years he had 1-2 other all stars. Hakeem on the other hand had to beat 3 50+ win teams in the 1994 title run and FOUR 57+ win teams (and 2 60+ win teams) in the 1995 title run, which has never been done before or since. Kobe only has 1 MVP and even Steve Nash won 2 MVPs over him so that's not saying much. And regular season record vs kobe doesnt mean much. Lebron had two 1 seed 60+ win teams in 2009 and 2010 yet couldnt get to the finals vs Kobe. That would have been great to watch.

[@quicktoreason2722]

@@scoop2448 are you going to forget that wade was hurt for a some of it and bosh became a role player? and by the way. its not my words, nba players themselves say that he carried the 2012 team - and 2018 by far is the biggest carry job of them all - i acknowledge your points about Hakeem but unlike hakeem - lebron played in multiple eras where there were more than 3 players on the court that were an offensive threat - in the current era of the nba - all 5 are an offensive threat - while being in that era - he carried a team full of injured players against a YOUNG celtics team, an overly successful raptors team that were the NUMBER 1 seed in the league at that time and simply walked past them- to say this wasnt the best carry job is a joke- i remember they were even saying during the game that lbj's performance that year was the single greatest playoff performance ever -

[@yoofij4724]

You guys have both made some great points. I haven’t looked at hakeem as much so I’m going to,

[@davis2k1234]

Kobe in 2008-2010 is the biggest carry job ever Hakeem had Clyde 22PPG 5/5 in 1995 and Otis Thorpe was a all star PF in 1992

His fadeaway jumpers are beautiful, esp in the Raptors Cavs series

This Cavs doing a lot better of cutting, running screen, pick and roll and shoot 3s than 23-24 lakers. I am not sure if it is players's issue or coach's issue of 23-24 lakers.

[@Lord_OTD]

Everything really came full circle for LeGoat James. He ended his time with Cleveland the same way he started. This was the best playoff run by any one player ever, and if not for KD, he would’ve got finals MVP on a losing team. Thanks for the awesome video FreeDawkins. This must’ve taken forever, it wasn’t easy and we appreciate your efforts.

[@killersan6857]

Nope even if kd wasn’t on the warriors he wouldn’t have gotten fmvp after what happend in 2015

[@isrealneal7552]

This is why la bron and cavs won they're first chip because the king was absolutely amazing in 2018 and in the playoffs congrats to the cavs for winning they're first chip that season la bron said he was going to bring Cleveland they're first chip and he delivered that year 💪😁😉💯

Hooooolllly I forgot the typa jaw dropping (in a bad way) plays JR Smith used to make 😭😭😭😭😭

[@nikolaininkov]

That's arguably the best LeBron version during his whole career. In 2018, during that playoff run, he was hitting amazing shots, using actual post game and post moves that I've never seen him do before that, if only he played like that during his whole career, there could have been an argument of him being the Goat.
