Me personally it has to be 2018. Mans was the most clutch player in history, was the best facilitator in history, was efficient af, and carried a mediocre rooster to the finals while turning into a complete beast in the post season. I value post season way more than the regular season which is why I like 2018 more than 2013.

@@RasuiTheFallen he was more clutch than Jordan than year imo especially since clutch doesn't only mean game winner and even then that year he hit like two game winners in the playoffs. And he avg like 34 9 and 9 in the playoffs as well on remarkable efficiency with a mediocre rooster.

Imo it’s 2013 LeBron, he was still in his athletic prime, nuclear on every play, could actually shoot 3’s and in general, and most importantly was robbed from a dpoy which was taken by a player who didn’t even make All Defensive First Team, it’s clear there was a lot of bias for that award, 2018 LeBron was smarter and wiser, he was a seasoned vet. 2018 LeBron was still wild don’t get me wrong but I’d take 2013 LeBron

I’ve been wondering about this question recently. I think 2018 Lebron was an actual point gurad he was skilled, athletic and was playing with great IQ. Also he played with heart and tried on both ends the floor he was a solid perimeter and interior defender and a great shot blocker. 2018 is the only version of Lebron I really like as a player

Yes , remember back then players actually ran out the way when LeBron got out of the paint 🎨, he was literally jumping over players heads, 2018 LeBron relies more on skills , passing and bully ball 🏀 and players don’t fear him as much in 2012 or 2013. 2012 LeBron would dunk a lot of centers today and block a lot of shots and a matter fact players would run 🏃 out the way and the gap between him and Kd wouldn’t even be close because athletically players wouldn’t be able to handle 2012 LeBron.

2013 wipes 2018, much better finisher and scorer and ATG Level Defense and his motor was much better. 2018 is better offensively due to better reads and passing. Still an Elite scorer but 2013 better and has better resilience from the pacers and spurs series. 2013 is lebrons best or second best season interchangeable with 2012. 2013 beats him in everything but playmaking and passing. Lebron was still creating tons of shots for teammates but his reads weren’t as consistent and sharp as his second Cavs stint.

2013 LeBron and it’s not even close as back then LeBron jumped over players heads and players ran out the paint when LeBron got close. They feared 2012 LeBron but they didn’t fear 2018 LeBron but 2018 LeBron was just a great passer and made tough shots hence why he was called LeBronto and Thannos. But 2012 LeBron was a monster and was like a created player.

Just imagine 2018 Lebron in 2013 Lebron's body , he would have been a living cheat code . It would be him at his physical peak and mental peak , it would be insane . But saying that , he is still very condition and has an high iq , so it is still safe to call him a top 10 player , Definitely a top 15 player in the NBA at age 38 , in my opinion nobody at age 38 has been able to claim that title , its honestly amazing .
