People around the NBA, and fans feared LeBron could’ve been hurt during this game. What did you think? This game is one of LeBron’s best, the hostile environment, the pressure. He performs like it’s Game 7. Thanks for watching. Subscribe if you haven’t!

It shows how mentally strong Lebron really is. He didn't let this behavior from few fans affect his love for the team and city, came back and delivered a championship few years later. 👏

@004 Stroka that shot don’t matter without that block take nothing from Kyrie but he wouldn’t be on the finals stage without Lebron James!!!! Has Kyrie been back to the finals ever since??

@ChaseRiver More than that still don't respect LeFlop, LeChoke who only plays to self-padt inflate his own personal stats not winning the ultimate team prize despite hopping to different Superteams.

There is a concept called forgiveness. I guess they forgave him because he stayed accountable to his promise. But at this time, it was looking like he wasn’t going to stay accountable to that promise.

Lebrons story is so dynamic. To come back to Cleveland after this and bring them their first championship, it is a story book ending to that chapter. Now he's in LA and got a ring already. This mans career has been a journey. 3 rings on 3 different teams and being the best player on all of them.

Tommy Hart 6 ore fa

Not a real ring in LA lol. He won a summer AAU tournament. He has 3 NBA championships.

It's just too bad that in his prime he couldn't handle the pressure against a declining Jason Terry in The Finals. Oh well. At least his fans don't care about failure enough to notice, or they'd have stopped bleating "GoAt! HUR-DURRR" along time ago.

I like 👍 the way he kept his poise during the interview. If you've been around him since the south rangers peewee football you know he was still on edge even after the game. He was so glad this was over. But skill can't be suppressed by boos and jeers. All of Akron cheered for him and we follow him wherever ❤ he goes. He belong to "us" not Cleveland.

Glitter 9 mesi fa

@Dude Idk I’d say that’s a big part of the reason he was hated. A lot of people often criticized him at the time just due to the fact he left for Miami to join bosh and dwade. My criticism upon them deserving a championship was the way he was treated for leaving, not by just the fans but by the entire cavs organization. They refused to invest in the team like other teams did, Celtics, lakers, etc. After the decision was made everyone burned his Jersey & many other things.. & yes you’re right, that was the best championship. For a team to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals on arguably the greatest team assembled is insane.

@Austin Moran Elmo knows more basketball than you ever will in your entire life. What the Cavs almost were has nothing to do with what they actually were ultimately. The fact that they went from being one or two wins out of the first seed all the way to (at best ) a ninth seed shows you how much of a mess they are. And no a hump isn't just when you can't win big games over and over a hump is where you can't get past whatever Milestone you keep running into no matter how big or small. You also say he can't compete with the west but Elmos retty sure Bron won Championship with the Lakers a few years ago when despite the pandemic the playing field was even for all teams in the West and East.

Austin Moran 9 mesi fa

@Flo Bro the cavs were a win or 2 out of 1st at one point if you knew basketball you would known that and a hump is a team not being able to win a big game over and over again and if lebron went to the cavs he will such trade everybody for his buddies and turn them into the lakers because he needs superteams and he can't compete in the west because the west wasn't the easy east he played in for most of his career

Flo Bro 9 mesi fa

@Dominic Lowe how was the Cavs almost first place when they didn't even make the playoffs? Meaning at best they were the ninth seed? What LeBron needs is a couple different pieces around him that'll play better. It's not like Cleveland has been some title Contender ever since he left they would need him to get over the hump.

Dominic Lowe 9 mesi fa

@Flo Bro look at what the cavs were doing this and look at what the Lakers are doing people are saying the cavs should say no to lebron because they don't need him they were almost 1st place in the east with injuries while lebron was trying to not be last place lebron needs Cleveland

I know he was trying to put a face that night but knowing the type of person LeBron is nowadays I can't imagine how it felt for him to hear his hometown boo him like that.

Leland Joseph bird isn’t even top 5 bro. He’s a great player with an incredible mind for the game, but his lack of athleticism simply puts him in top 10 at most. Maybe you could argue him into the 5th spot, but LBJ, Jordan, Hakeem, Kareem, the big O, and arguably wilt/bill are superior to 33.
