Sport Science: Lebron James Chase Down Block (2010)

[@BetelWalrus]

Who knew it would win him a championship.

[@noeaeon]

as they say, _defense wins championships._

[@noeaeon]

*****​ not in the video, it's an old saying or cliché in the NBA.

[@OD_Plays]

+Richard Jackson but whoever got his rebound has to say rebounds win rings

[@noeaeon]

Flash 2557 rebounding is a part of defense.

[@noeaeon]

Deontray Woodson they're rebounds that are pulled down when your team is on offense. Technically it still serves to take away possessions from the opponent. But I was speaking of rebounds as they pertain to the video. What kind of rebound is it called when the team on defense gets a rebound from the chasedown block?

[@Princejets92]

Lebrons the best chase down blocker.

[@tblixky5512]

Its funny because wade has way more

[@jtdabraham7638]

Moses Cuh what about you?

[@JoshuaDay0550]

JTD Abraham moses didnt say he had any. he said Wade had more. so whats your point?

[@jtdabraham7638]

Joshua Day you don't watch chris smoove do you?

[@tblixky5512]

I have plenty

[@man-df-up]

The CHASEDOWN BLOCK on Iguadala in Game 7 of 2016 NBA Finals is one of the best blocks he had in the game besides his blocks on Curry.

[@ezetram774]

lol

[@TbYolo]

The best Block in NBA history

[@lokuu7425]

signature moment

[@michaeligbojekwe6209]

+Владимир Ленин true the block was aii but y'all stop actin like iggy could really jump dat spasm affected him badly, on any other day he would have dunked dat ball instead of goin for a lay up

[@johnmitchell2976]

Michael Dozie it was a contested layup. He would've had to be in his prime to even have the possibility to dunk it.

[@warrenpearson2906]

The Warriors should have took this advice

[@francisfortunato7890]

LEBRON DO THIS ON IGGY TWICE MAN

[@dejohntravis5064]

Warren Pearson 😂

[@ipodnazar]

The thing is when you are running down the court going for a layup, you tend to slow down when you get close to the bucket and assume no one is near. It's not all about LeBron being faster, it's mostly the unexpected happening.

[@UltraBearsFan]

That's very true, but still, LeBron James is incredibly fast for his size. The shedding of a ton of weight this offseason will probably signal an even faster LeBron--a scary thought.

[@duffmangameplay]

True but you have to be impressed by .3 of a second he had to block the shot, i aint even a lebron fan but that is rather incredible

[@emjay1249]

James Duffy ikr. But there are definitely some cases where he blocked the shot but it was a goaltending. It's difficult to see when the game is that fast

[@Antbeast23]

Lol some of it is lebron speed and slowing down also but I've seen people try to dunk it and they still get block by him like kobe and rondo.

[@christopherbellefleur2357]

TheInnovative ya lebron is faster

[@hunter2020]

and we met again 240p...

[@ezetram774]

lol

[@FluxedHD]

Sports Science needs to be a show.

[@TranquilAura77]

Best chasedown blocker in NBA history

[@SharkToothCraft]

That's why LeBron James is nicknamed "King James"! I love watching him play!

[@GildedWarrior331]

19 seasons and he still chasing players down .hasn't lost too much

[@bigstudwithaguitar]

That's why you use the backboard on every layup. If the ball is still headed up but hit the backboard first, it's still goal-tending.

[@McLovin25165]

I think iggy saw your advice but yet… well uhmmmm yeah that sucks…

[@Christopher-ir8hb]

i'm andre iguodala.........and i approve of this message

[@Ziamangry]

Iggy taking this video to heart

[@klaml.5898]

See that block in the final game 7 2016

[@camilo2208]

MY GOAT

[@karlleones7780]

The Spike Block During the Olympics Tho Damn That was hella *LIT*

[@Soldier979]

2016 NBA Finals game 7 Lebron's defining Finals moment

[@louisb5766]

Crazy this is not part of his game anymore, lebrons evolution is incredible

[@deepvoicetyeng5497]

Are u sure cos he showed snippets of it in the recent playoffs especially against rockets and just recently with the Cavs, the block on Sexton of which he had 46pts

[@Zion122]

He's actually done it quite a lot as of late

[@JohnBattle909]

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear 🔥🔥🔥

[@ThisFace]

Well baller would slow down at the rim, and his not running straight like Lebron, but most surprising thing is the timing. That's what makes it awesome.

[@dariom2003]

Wait. They're talking about his Chase down block, and the warriors blew a 3 to 1 lead. It takes LeBron 3.1 seconds to block oj mayo😱

[@exbomber360]

I love how they make it sound so scientific, but for All star athaletes its pure instinct

[@israelhv117]

16 blocks in the finals a hell lot in his career but the one on iggy was something special something the warriors will never forget.

[@AtlantaCelticsCA]

This guy is incredible!!

[@malachih.551]

I always do the Lebron James chase down, If I see someone I sneak up and BOOM!!!! You got stuffed, lol.

[@boomboombam6]

@flashtc3 Of course they don't actually think he'd be saying that to himself. It's just amazing that he can do it, and has done it so many times before.

[@jbonejason]

he as been injured a few times but this injury really put him out for a very long time!

[@AR-bt1qk]

looks like some in the nba finals didnt watch this video

[@AnimeCookie321]

0:13 Lebron Was Like Oh No Shaq's Dribbling.

[@BeyondDestiny]

I can hold my beer, you do that.

[@Majo241000]

the thing that amazes me here is that he sprint but yet he got the elevation to block that shot,,he may not be the best basketball player but he sure is one of the most athletic guys that i've seen

[@srda97]

u sir, made my fing day. Thank you

[@ColinAird]

makes you appreciate baseball players ability

[@jacksterman2]

it was...in canada 3 years ago...full hour long shows...

[@landonkirkley490]

I am the 1,000 subscriber I swear to God

[@TheAllianceKiller]

Kobe is 14-56 in game winning shots. Lebron is 17-50 in game winning shots Lebron has a +16 in clutch situations Kobe has a +13 Lebron has a .436 fg% in the clutch Kobe has a .400

[@xIroniiKx]

@EmirateDee what im saying. no help in cleveland he was a one man team. michael jordan had pippen and rodman. now james has wade and bosh

[@zakattk001]

it was/ used to be its on show on FSN or something( idk if thats a local channel where I live or not, thats what it used to be on for me) but i think they ran out of ideas or something, so now they just do plays of the week or certain specials for ESPN/ABC

[@MrChitown98]

Amazing

[@donniemarks94]

curry knows all about lebrons chase down blocks

[@mytime2023]

his timing is perfect

[@razkable]

@Samax13 yeah but they can hear the footsteps and look over their shoulder

[@MattsPokemonWorld]

Great post

[@menard_09]

He did it on Desmone Bane last night on his 20th season

[@iSexedKatyPerry]

Thank you!!

[@allmeatnobrain]

The backboard absorbs 29% of the kinetic energy. Yeah, the guy should have added that Lebron's shoelace didn't come loose when he landed.

[@xXD1MZXx]

Usually you can tell when a person is gonna do a layup. It's after the person does 2 steps then u can just time it to jump on his second step den just swat it away.

[@impbadminton]

thanks

[@TheRealJYPark14]

ur comment is so original it makes me laugh.

[@xXLoveWillPrevailXx]

CRAZY!!!

[@junior2k219]

It looks like a chase down artist

[@Dave416]

Wtf. Over here in Toronto it is. They took it off air recently but they had a 30 minute show.

[@blakfloyd]

Good counterpoint but his concentration was still partially devoted to having to spot and catch that pass and it's not like he instantaneously knew he only needed to take one dribble so the fact remains that his entire journey to the basket involved divided concentration rather than a hard sprint culminating in jumping right at the basket like LBJ knew he had to do from the very instant he saw the breakaway begin.

[@Dreballa584]

Sports Science on Lebrons Hairline "By the time he reaches the age of 30 more than 90% of Lebrons hair will be gone"

[@TheArtistHere]

Sports science makes everything sound so amazing, when it is all easy as fuck.

[@rexlocher534]

NOT IN MY HOUSE 1:09 lololol

[@11elendil]

Make another review about the 2016 block

[@Justjt777]

he left his chase down blocks in Cleveland as well

[@joniqitu]

sport science should do some on football players like messi ronaldo etc..

[@th3unknown50]

so true.. and they dont tell you that there was a deffender on the guy with the ball wich slowed him down no they just say it took em 4 seconds and it took lebron 3

[@TheAllianceKiller]

No... I provided as many stats as you did in the argument against yung.

[@hamzaraza4133]

he called baseball bassball

[@3wademiami]

@Fvantagio15 What's his PER rating? Thank You.

[@LamEmman]

One of the most spectacular tools in Lebron's game is the one you never see coming, "Travelling".

[@dustinlong2429]

ikr so dependable even though he was clear to play in january he said no

[@amandahiya94]

who is that commentator of the game????? @ 0:14 ???please tell someone??!?

[@bhumikpatel2686]

Andre Iguadala forgot to watch this video!

[@tas0666666]

@peachfruitycake you probably haven't seen any nba games this (or even last) year..

[@hkimasa]

i like the statement : Object are closer than they appear. looollll!

[@ltwmichael]

who's better? Dirk's unguardable shots or LeBron's chase down block? i prefer Dirks, it emphasizes on the player's skill

[@icebuckzz]

well , thats one of my fav`rte moves of lebron .. it looks like easy but when you give it a shot ..you know :D

[@djay003]

Who woulda thought that this kinda block could help them win a championship and the warriors blow 3-1 lead!

[@impbadminton]

How to counter chase down block anyone? I always got chased down block, I am not sure if windmill layup work? or changing direction such as reverse layup work better?

[@CudiTutorials]

I like how they did it based on one play

[@JG_Playin]

i thought this was a show at some point i remember cuz they had a player try to break a rim and someone outrun a corvette while both going backwards what show was that?

[@reidassow]

Its not goaltending until the ball has passed the apex of the shot, or in other words it is not goaltending unless the ball is on its way back down after going up from the shot. There are some exceptions such as if the ball has touched the backboard (even if it is still going up) then it is goaltending. but no that block was far from goaltending

[@RGriseKnight23]

i wish science class was like this

[@dtlim88]

Really? T. Prince did that to Reggie Miller, it's one of the unforgettable highlights in NBA. Michael Jordan did it too when he was a Wizard against his former team, Bulls. It's on youtube by the way. It was probably the sickest chase down block I have ever seen. Two hands grabbing the ball. When did you start watching NBA anyway? I'm pretty sure there's more out there.

[@aznprince0]

that was a clever phrase in the end

[@amandahiya94]

WHO IS THE COMMENTATOR AT 0:17 ? please tell

[@TheFlogame]

It use to be on FS idk what happened

[@jeffsimmons7569]

damn he spiked tha hell otta dat ball but when they keep showing the block it begins to be funny lol

[@BSODISFAIL]

Lmao, the immaturity level with kids today is off the charts.

[@invinceble99]

Why is this guy making every aspect of the play sound so amazing? It is a "block" hence the highlight play, if it were a "goaltend", the video would have not been used. So, why is he talking like Lebron is able to make a successful chase-down block in every single attempt?

[@OngleBongle]

Chase down blocks are easy cauae you get this adreneline of wanting to block so even if he is feets ahead of you.You start running incredibly faster and you suddenly do a monster block.

[@TheMittensofBoom]

its a good thing we dont have to worry about playing lebron and the cavs anymore lol

[@cp3isBetterThanDrose]

For a team it's rings, for a player its to be successful with their career.

[@iBreakAnkles4Fun]

LeBron's hairline is a boss.... hahahaha

[@xcreambaalla35]

did anybody see that after the block shaq was left on a fastbreak against marc gasol. i wanna see how that ended up.

[@crockerakahops90sjumpmantexas]

LeBron James is the best.

[@ko0ldudeZz]

He already anticipates the release. So the 0.324 sec does not actually apply.

[@elliot1405]

yea maybe so. still though, he's fully recovered physically, and for the amount of money he's getting he should be doing amazing things. he could single-handedly be the difference between a championship and a mediocre season. and again, i'd take D'Rose at 50% over most of the league at 100%. I really don't think they can win a championship without him right now, and I really think they could if he was playing

[@ubugemindia]

what about tayshauns block to reggie at the 2004 nba playoffs?

[@iBreakAnkles4Fun]

Whatever floats your boat, man...

[@xLilPuddinTater]

i honestly could care less about how much kinetic energy is absorbed by the backboard

[@Chikingmalik]

it was a show

[@ChrisTLiuo]

Next on sports science-moving to south beach

[@stephdiel1202]

even today

[@X619mysterio]

@AWBH123 I actually saw that and i wasn't even looking for it.

[@nbagoats4819]

They did pump fakes, dunks and reverses like crazy in the 80s and 90s. I don't know if today's athletes are lacking the instinct to do these moves but it would render plays like this as obselete.
