LeBron James 1st Championship, Full Series Highlights vs Thunder (2012 NBA Finals) - Finals MVP! HD

@Tim Ahn Kobe was only relevant before 2011. Afterwards players like Durant (Taller and better midrange 49% FG like Jordan), Curry (Insane 3 pt shot), Lebron (Insane Athleticism and all rounder) pretty much destroyed his chances. Kobe skillset was made obsolete and he don't have advantage in terms athleticism. In my opinion Kobe is closer to top 20 list than GOAT list.

@Sham what do you expect thats what happens when you become 38 you slow down but you can’t deny he still a huge problem and top 5

He' s the greatest driver of all time. Tied with Jordan as the greatest finishers. And in transition as scorer, passer and defender there's no one better.

@Michael Hackette to a lesser degree now tho unfortunately

The funny thing is that was true then and its the same now 😆

The Kobe-Lebron era

seriously, not the same now.

Facts

This is a basketball entertainment league not war between tribes. If we really want to be full on "competitiveness" mode any team is your enemy and if you leave your first team you're disloyal...

Damn I don’t like what either of them did but Durant is def worst

100 percent

Well, only if you make FRIENDS with pretty much everyone in the leagure!

@Super Sonicat this point it is normal

They sure were & Harden was the big reason why and he absolutely did not show up this series

@Judah Mourneth tf lebron > kd russ > wade ibaka > bosh that series its just role players like shane battier game 2 mario chalmers game 3 mike miller game 4 its not lebrons fault the role players turned into all stars that series

People forget bc they didn’t win the series.

@hulkyouup you believe that ?? 😂😂

The same guys arguing here that the old era had Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn, Karl Malone etc. are the same guys that will say Jordan or Bird played against a bunch of plumbers and firefighters lol. They can't appreciate greatness and they'll stay like that for the rest of their life being a "basketball fan" smh.

Lebron wouldve thrived in the 90s and MJ would’ve thrived in the current nba. There’s no stopping generational talent

You know you the GOAT when people talk about you in phases

When he start taking his workouts on his body seriously

@Red Summer he shoulda won that year im still salty

​@Eric Jackson 2018 was

2013 best version of lebron

@I Play Games lmao he won the championship they didn’t make it cause all of their key players missed a lot of games

I Play Games ya comment didn’t age well

@Chris Butler At that time Rockets were 4th and Clips were 1st so cut the bull shit out

@I Play Games what bout this year huh 1st seed and will win the chip

2018 was the closet we saw to miami lebron

he still is

We all get older man...

Maybe bcuz it was 8 years yes ago tf

Demba S if anything he plays more bully ball because he's slower. He's bulked up. No one can guard him down low.

@Marco Espino nah, Durant is a cry baby nowadays

Yung idol mo binaboy lng ng boston yn 🤣🤣🤣kaya nga trade sya miami para makapchampion🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Chris Juarez lebron did better in 2007 than him LMFAOOOO

@Ibnziyad Tariq LMFAOOO lebron owned durmickey durmickey couldnt be dominating if he cant defend leking

@Shazayum 2*

@User Lurk I agree my friend !! He’s the best to ever do it

@Steven Vargas Lebron is the Goat now well hes been the Goat 🐐

@User Lurk yes sir 🔥

@Steven Vargas and Now hes the all time leading scorer 💯

2023 still the same!! Unbelievable

@Omega Dash facts and won 4 so he def a goat

Why is no one talking about that in 2015 gsw championship it took them 50 years to get a championship

and we will love him forever :)

@Regan Chambers not the greatest

Malcolm Xavier James Gumbs fax’s idk why people hate on this man he is insane

@dadillonful with the lebron cavs no he wouldnt

@Yung Ace if dwade and bosh were in their prime vs westbrook and harden in their prime is easy heat in 4 lebron > kd wade > russ harden > bosh but hardens a notorious choker plus look at what happened to brooklyn.

GoAt

Mj would have stood no chance against this thunder team

@Sean Dolan kd was literally a three times scoring champ

He was a grown man in highschool

Christopher Gonzalez ?

dudes in the 60s were 20 with hairlines behind their ears and looking like they were 58

He’s been looking 30s since High skool

Benjamin Button looks like my grandfather when he was 5 LMAO

no he wasnt ray allen averaged 11 pts in the finals LMFAOOOOO

@Donnell Long bro if lebron went on gsw warriors he might not score as much but he would make sure golden state sweeps the entire conference LMFAOOOO

@Bangey Boi lebron is all around better player than kd, he does make his teammates better, however Durant is the ultimate closer down the stretch of games, golden state got away with one against Cleveland, injuries, if not for that I believe the cavs would've won back to back chips, Durant playing for gs made it impossible for lebron to beat them again, lebron effect, Durant matches lebron better than any other player in the nba, gs was already a very good team , Durant made them one of the all time greatest, but in fairness lebron has seem to win with lesser talent around him, but kd is a way better bucket getter than lb , but lebron is the goat 🐐 hands down

@Donnell Long what u said was all cap IF ALL U CAN DO IS SCORE THEN ID RATHER HAVE A 99% AS GOOD SCORER BUT WAY BETTER PASSER AND REBOUNDER DURANT CANT MESS WITH LEBRON ON ESPECIALLY WHEN LEBRONS ON OFFENSE

@Donnell Long LMFAOOOO STOP IT kd isnt near lebrons level kds only better at isolations and 1v1s in a team game lebron >>>>>

@Lakers Fan Since July 1st 2018 And he blew it in 2011.

@Antonio Bridges u tried tho

Antonio Bridges They weren’t actually, Lebron’s only been the favourite in 2011.

What odds they were the favorites lol

Got fouled on most drives to the hoop. Some got called.

@eazyduzit5150 KD was MVP level at the time. If anything people are underestimating how good this okc team actually was because they were a pretty big deal at the time.

I think harden at this time would still be all star level on any other team it was just the minutes restriction. And he proved the following season.

They should have been started harden. All that 6th man b.s held them back. They was the only team holding back they big 3 smh

Now 2 with Westbrook and lebron and 2 with kd and harden 😈

They were all 23 year olds that’s all I keep hearing but Bron wasn’t old yet either

@Geek Muscle 2012 wade was decent but bosh was washed ibaka better 2013 wade and bosh were both washed 2016 kevin love averaged 8 pts also washed 2015 lebron led 2-1 BY HIMSELF without kyrie and love

@Darth23 you're acting like Dynasties should be in the finals for every year. Why Lakers and Boston didn't played in finals for last 40 years, if they're dynasties? Spurs dominated the league from 2000's to 2014 and still made the play-offs for some years. They beat Kobe with Shaq and without him, they beat "oh my god Dirk is better than LeBron, Wade and Bosh", they beat KD, Russ, Ibaka with 6th man Harden. They beat everyone on the west. Both Wade in his first finals and the entire Miami team in 2013-14 should've played their BEST basketball to win at least 1 game. Wade is HOF not just because he played with LeBron, but because he was an MVP candidate before it and scored unbelievable numbers against Spurs dynasty. Spurs is a dynasty. The reason why they didn't make the finals every year like Boston and Lakers in 80's is because there's a lot of teams that are either had MVP candidates, or had very good luck. Shaq was MVP candidate when he with Kobe beat Spurs. Wade was an MVP candidate. Bron was an MVP. KD is a league's best scorer in stacked team. Spurs is a dynasty, just got the bad luck sometimes.

The Spurs were not a dysasty. They hadn't made the finals in the last six years and two postseasons before, they were bounced in the first round by a eight seed Grizzlies team but I'll give the other two teams.

@I LOVE THIS GAME kobe cant guard lebron in 2013 prime durant CANT GUARD LEBRON AT ALL kawhi cant stop him jsut slow him lebron has better offense not defense thol

borat bagatov he use to fry Kobe

To much to handle

Who still can?

KD almost fouled out tryna guard Lebron that’s why. He can’t hold him. And then he also had the responsibility of trying to score 30 a game. Cant even hope to do that while guarding Lebron. Especially 2012 Lebron.... like did you see how physical he was. Dude would drag you from the 3 point line down to the paint and still fight you for the offensive glass IF he missed. If you sagged off his splashed a jump shot in your face WITHOUT HESITATION. 2012 Lebron up there with any iteration of MJ for Greatest. Ever.

@Galileo Galilei Lebron was hiding behind Shane battier guarding KD but cook broad

3-6 finals record lmao

Bill 11 Rings Russell Good not better than the Heat, and where did I say otherwise? but I get it though you LBJ dudes always prop up his opposition and discredit his teammates so when he beats them y’all can go “oh wow he’s the goat, no one can do what he did”, and if he loses it’s all “well they’re a great team guys, they were a superteam, MJ wouldn’t have beaten them either.”

I’m here after Steph won his 4th lol

Keerat Parhar you cant read because I clearly said we would’ve beaten Miami. You’re the one who said the Bulls wouldn’t

Tyler McGee u just explained y they couldn’t of beaten the Heat, then u explained y they would of. Make up ur mind

Keerat Parhar you’re wrong because the Bulls has a chance. Jimmy Butler was the missing piece but Rose got hurt

Tyler McGee ik, I said bulls wouldn’t of beaten the Heat.

Keerat Parhar so in 2014, Derrick Rose in his prime, all Star Jimmy Butler, DPOY Joakim Noah can beat the Heat with Wade knees degenerating and the rest of Miami not showing up

I'm sure kababayan kita

and he did it

@BRODCAST wade is a superstar bosh isnt hes the ULTIMATE ROLE PLAYER

Fact .... now he not even top 50 anymore

@BRODCAST lol bruh it’s different lebron built a team and kd joined the best team with the best record every that just won a ring last year and they the ones that made him go home crying

@Rari2xx idm if the stats declined or not that don’t have shi to do with anything Bosh & Wade were still superstars on the heat therefore it was a super team it ain’t debatable lmao

@BRODCAST the miami heat were not a superteam if both of their stats declined dramatically 😂😂😂

@Eduardo Duran how many was scored on lebron??? lebron torched him 1v1

yes hahaha and kd joined a stack up team that already dominant team in the nba in order to beat lbj curry thompson iggy plus kd 4allstar

@PRE WZZO how you feel now?

Eduardo Duran rebounds? Assists?

💯 he got 4 now, but beat my team in the process 😂🤦‍♂️

@Nismo Kali welp brother your wish just got real

Your wish is my command La vs miami nba finals 2020

He will

Me too I was so happy for him been a fan of him since 2004

@Juwan Dunbar shaqqq????? LMFAOOOOOO HOW MANY DID SHAQ AVERAGE? 10 exactly SHAQ WAS SHT THAN BOSTON SHAQ CLEVELAND SHAQ WAS SHT

@Juwan Dunbar LMFAOOOOOOO wat do u want him to do? sleep in a sht team

@Juwan Dunbar nah the only snake is durmickey

😂😂😂

@Juwan Dunbar ok so after 8 years lebron got no help from the front office so he decided to take matters into his own hands. He knew that by leaving Cleveland for Miami they’ll go right back to lottery, forcing them to draft kyrie and then he came back with some help and won for his city. What else you want him to do with that sorry ass franchise. And don’t you dare compare it to Kobe’s and Jordan’s loyalty because they were drafted into a team with help already so they saw success early in their career which compelled them to stay and win more

Quewon Anderson yet he didn’t make the playoffs he’s ass not even top ten in this era

@jerry james faunillan 2-4 with heats, the rest is Cav, Cav is a very weak team okay ? Lebron & Kryie made 1 champion for them.

No Definitely Not Better Now This Man Waa On A Mission That Year He Was More Driven Not Saying He Still Isnt He Just Was More Then Because He Had A Chip On His Shoulder And Shut Down Doubters

Offensively probably yes Defensively Hell no!

Imo it's better here, smarter now

Giannis needs to know how to shoot CONSISTENTLY . If he is not a fonsistent mid range or a average 3 point shooter he will end up being westbrook who declined early because he lose some of his athleticism.

it took Lebron to join a superteam to get a silly ring lmfao n u calling that a goat? hahaha

u forget ibaka

Cold blooded

I think that was the best playoff game of his career

Not only that, but he also busted up the Celtics' big 3 and Ray Allen ended up in Miami a year later.

He joined a team that ain’t make the finals since 06 and DWade wasn’t half the player he was early on. He had a strong 10 .. the rest was dog time

You’re a hypocrite if you defend Snake or Lebum

Women's Faces Are The Definition Of Beauty nope

@HaYnTurboman23 Cavs also benefited from suspension and injuries in 2016 to beat best team ever Warriors. Warriors owned the Cavs 3 out of 4 finals.

@Christopher Lucero Yes. Your point?

Hes the goat but joined a super team to win his 1st championship?

@I Play Games made playoffs? Ar u start watching lebron 2011?

@sirena Miw 2015 no teammates and a back injury, 2017 and 18 he went up against an all-time team with a bad team in 2018

@Ritwik Jaipuriar LeBron ain't shit without a superteam. Why do you think he was ringless before the Heat? He could only beat teams with losing records before that.

@Ritwik Jaipuriar LeBron got handled 3 out of 4 finals by the Warriors. How does it feel to see the true? Remember LeBron benefited from suspensions, ejections and injuries in 2016 finals to Draymond, Bogut, Iguodala, Curry.
