He's had like 3 primes😂
mike gritzbach for real 😂
One never-ending prime bro 🔥💪
Honest question, has he ever really had a cold streak? Like a season where he wasn’t the best player in the nba?
@@MGFUckit not really when he took he never looked back. the closest is 2011 nba finals
mike gritzbach just about four🤣🤣
If Jordan played one more season we would have had Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in the NBA all at the same time...
A refurbished Jordan tho believe it or not (which it is VERY hard to believe) Jordan came off the BENCH with the wizards
@@mrblue3879 on some nights just cause his knees are already bothering him. Age will certainly catch up to your body even if you are the greatest at your craft.
@@jaypetargue yea u right
Jay Petargue people forget that him and Rip Hamilton went on a 15-1 run for the Wizards before that Knee injury happened. 41 year old Jordan dropped 51.
@@fabolousninenine30 he had something to prove lol
LeBron is in his mental and skills prime now. But back then the LeBron Cleveland 1.0 was in his athletic prime. This Lebron was an absolute joy to watch. Witness !
imagine if he had that same athleticism now, he'd be scary dude.
@@JahleelX-xx9wd exactly
Miami was his best athletic prime. Dude was jumping over people and destroying the rim with more power and he was heavier.
M C Facts
@@MC-ez6lq Nah first Cleveland stint he was more bouncy and quick, Miami he was bigger though, more muscle and power. He still was super fast and could jump high in Miami but that first Cleveland stint he had agility and bounce was just ridiculous once he got in the open court no one could keep up with him.
LeBron's many primes: Cavs - athletic prime Heat - scoring prime Cavs (2nd stint) - all around/IQ prime Lakers - passing prime
Lakers- passing/shooting prime
he should of won the MVP last year the dude averaged 10 fuckin assists... like how does he not win mvp
Yeah man fr stockton shouldve won mvp 9 times from 87-88 to 95-96.
His scoring prime was those two years in his second stint with Cleveland. 2016-2017, 2017-18, go watch them highlights. Crazy fadeaways, posterizing everyone, still hella athletic, attacking the basket. He was doing it all scoring wise those two years to me. Miami was his most efficient though.
Its crazy how he is having a passing prime rn but still scoring 25 ppg....
Prime in 2009.. he just scored 51 in the finals in 2018. This has never happened before
Its because 3 pointers have gotten more popular in 2018 than in 2009.
Kevin well mj avg 40 points in 5 different playoffs series..so that 51 points is ehhh especially when the defense backed off him in a losing effort.
People have scored 50 in a finals game b4
Judah Mourneth Stupid point. You make it sound like MJ dropped 50 in the playoffs every other day. The dude did it 8 times in his WHOLE career and that's the most any player has ever done it, and only once in the Finals. Stop hating. I could bring up how MJ has only averaged a double-double twice in a playoff series whereas LeBron has done it 16 times including 2 triple-double averages. 50 in a playoff game, especially in the Finals against arguably the GOAT team is special!
51 points 8 rebs 8 assists vsing the BEST team in the league, in the NBA Finals at age 34
This version of LBJ had it all. Too much talent, freaky athleticism, super clutch, he could score in every freakin way, it's crazy how this team's front office wasted his first tenure with the team. He's still in his prime though, go get 'em in LA King!!!
Front office*.
and he could play exceptional defense against anybody the whole game
This LBJ wasn't that clutch had a few great late game moments but wasn't known for being a clutch player at this time
Naw his shot is waaaay better now
This LeBron did it all. 60 wins with Cleveland.
Everyone always talks about Steph Curry's half court buzzer beaters but LeBron did that so many times back in the day he did it multiple times against the Bulls as well to close out quarters and halfs
Let me tell you a story, because of that shot they passed the bulls record, steph broke the 3pt in one game record and probably the play that made durant go to gsw (btw im lebron )
Nigga said btw I’m Lebron מיכאל אסקירה
Lebron is a better player, but people talk about Curry's half court shots because he's definitely the best player in history at long 3s.
@@noobestofdamall this year LeBron owning the long threes

LeBron's prime is infinite I guess
He'll be playing till he's 40 and stay top 5

@@idrisw nigga whut
@@idrisw shut up
still is to this day
He's more skilled now but this was his athletic prime back in those days
Exactly. Good point.
This was the jump out the building bron.
that play at 1:13 the speed is just mind blowing. oh my god.
Lebron from 2003 to 2009 Was unbelievable, unguardable, Unreal. Literally Never seen anything like him since then. Ppl say he gets better every year but that's just on Paper. This early 2000s Bron was just greatness. Rings aside & Metric stats aside 💯
WatchNo Face his 03-10 years in Cleveland are just as goods as 80’s Jordan. This Bron would dominate any era. He’s just way too strong and athletic at a legit 6-8 250-260.
Actually his metric stats if you combine the 08/09 and the 09/10 season were the best of his career and his 09 playoff run is by all metric stats the greatest individual run in NBA history. He also led the NBA in PER his last 3 seasons in cleveland the first time
@@TakinDubsShaq Facts 💯
@@TakinDubsShaq if u you say he's such a dominant player back then why he'd leave Cleveland? is he afraid that he could b the next legend without a ring?
Snah Quelo because the front office was horrible
Lebron will be in his prime until he retires..... Or decides he doesn't want to be. #facts

Where’s that defense at how come he’s not as fast as he used to be
LeBron will never retire 💪
Waaaaa waaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@@deanskingdom8654 hes fat and old now
the most brutal man in transition during these years
Probably ever... I don't think I've seen this dude. Miss or not get fouled in transition.
Best transition/open court player ever
Lightning quick
@@AATWT11 him and giannis
@@londonjennings9608 i love Giannis but Lebron has the edge with his transition passing and variety of finishing moves. Giannis just as amazing on defense and driving but Lebron can hit the outlet alley oop, transition deep 3, fake transition pass into a slam, too strong and-1, his bag is deeper than Shaq's voice.
As Lebron's athleticism declines, he has maintained his level of play by increasing the amount of work that goes into his skill and into the mental/IQ side of the game. He's truly one of the greats no matter how you look at it.
Neel Moudgil the greatest *
Exactly
he's still dunking on people and doing chasedown blocks lmao, obviously he's not this fast or quick anymore, but him dunking on people and doing chasedowns is still there
Even as his athleticism has declined he's still a tier 1 athlete in the NBA... Just think about how crazy that is.
But i miss his midrange game too
Who else watching old Lebron highlights cause the corona virus got the NBA shut down for the forseable future
You're not alone
LOL ME
This Lebron James was different 🤯
I'm here now
🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️
He had to be the fastest player in league during this time. I can’t remember anyone being this fast. And to be that size smh 🤦🏾♂️ this man is literally something the world has never seen.
Epitome of physical specimen peak human athlete
Magic johnson said the same thing !
I thought lebrons prime was over (still better then everyone just not at his peak) then last year he had one of the best years ever lol
MasenkOG that juice
Judah Mourneth theres always an excuse for somebody being good isnt there
Stabilizin maybe if you tone down on the man worshipping. Stop being naive and be more objective. Do some research and look at receipts. You would see that reports show that what I’ve started is In fact true.
Judah Mourneth its funny because that comment entirely suits you. youre the one doing research on the man. youre the one who hates (but really loves) someone so much that you have to take the time out of your day to find out whats wrong about them to make yourself feel better. all i said is that, that is an excuse for somebody good at what they do and apparently im “worshipping” him. youre a full blown weirdo 😂
Judah Mourneth its ok man youre a lebron fan just let it all out nobody cares
Tied in the 50s in the beginning of the 4th quarter. How the times have changed lol
He is still prime! 2018
True
Prince
Not really his prime is 2013... most efficient, best year in shooting, best year in terms of stats and achievements... and also one of his best years defensively...
Nah
Prime: peak IQ level, peak atheleticism level. Miami days was his peak for both. Now with the Lakers, his athletecism decreasing(so u notice he focus more on shooting, and only chooses when to drive or to defend, or to give all out), but his IQ level is overflowing. Thats why he still dominant as of today.
Y’all wanna know something I just thought about? LeBron is 37, he was drafted at 18. Dude has now spent more than half his entire life in the NBA and has arguably NEVER had a bad season
And he never averages below 20 in his 20 yr career that's was crazy☠️☠️
@@jetspull5064 such an absolutely absurd stat line tbh. That’s just insane to think about. Dudes been in the NBA over 50% of his entire life, has never had a bad season, and has never even average less than 20 points a season. Dear lord
Bingo
Never had a bad season LMBO no one fears LeBron why would they he's not Jordan or a goat
@@josephtaylor5909 whatever let’s you sleep at night my man
2009 Bron. Amazing beast, but wasted.
What a golden opportunity wasted to go up against the black mamba in 2009!
Brandon Rael thank hedo turkoglu that men was doped so the magic cheated
Brandon Rael Lakers would’ve won that though, that cleveland team wasn’t good enough to win the chip!
Brandon Rael he did everything he could
I still can't believe how he carried this team. If he had a little more help back then, things would've been different in CLE
My mans was so fast back then 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
DIRECTOR FURR dumb fast
But now he still fast though
This is scary
Bro I like your reaction videos!
Like vids
Scary is the right word!
Its like everyone else normal and he's playing on 1.5 speed.
Scary black man🤦🏾♂️typical.. Lol jp
Easily the most entertaining version of James, his speed was incredible
I grew up watching Jordan in chicago. And I'll be the first to say lebron was a better all around player in terms of a talent standpoint. The shit he was able to do at this time was just jaw dropping . The speed . Power. Athleticism. IQ. Passing ability . Finishing ability even his midrange jumper was nice . He was 6'8 260 and the fastest player on the court almost every night. And yes kids lebron played hell of defense at this time in his career
Your the first Jordan fan to ever admit that lol
@@jayyrealfunny2126 facts 😂
@WWE is my city I mean lesnar is 6'3 and lebron is 6'8
Yeah, kids nowadays dont know that he used to be a great defensive player lol Kids nowadays says he don't have any defense😅
Lost your rabbit ass mind he’s just bigger than everyone else that’s it
And the old folks still believe this man wouldn't find success in 90's NBA...
He would dominate the 90s lmao if Lebron played in a more physical era he would suit his play style to match and he’d dominate like he’s dominanted in three different eras
People quickly forget that before all of the "flopping" Young Lebron would bulldoze through contact and make the dunk or layup like it was nothing.
bro LeBrons been in his prims since his rookie season
1:11 that speed tho🔥
I agree with RIP lbj has the most underrated speed ever
The fastest non little player ever.
@@cojack636 couldn't have said it any better !!
LeBron in the 2009 playoffs was when I started to think he might be GOAT. He was like a late 80’s Michael Jordan but bigger, stronger and more efficient. He put up the highest playoff PER in history in 2009 - 37.4. Jordan’s best was 32.0.
Watch "Jordan vs Lebron - The Best GOAT Comparison" on KZhead kzhead.info/sun/p9BsnbZunKF7lHA/bejne.html
Bro this version of Bron could get to the basket & score when ever he wanted to fast, & Too Strong
Bro he is on a completely different level than any basketball player its mj and him nobody else is even close lol
little do people know that his PER in this playoff run was 37.4, VORP of 2.9, 4.8 WS, 0.399 WS/48, 3.7 OWS, BPM of 17.5, DRTG of 99.6, and a USG% of 36.4 it's criminally underrated
Just imagine if this LeBron played against the warriors now
Omarian Byrd they wouldn't have an answer for him
They would still lose
They’d lose just as bad if not worse
@@greatest599 they would still lose because one man can't beat a team
xavier Rodriguez that plus this Lebron < Cleveland Lebron 2.0. Lebron in this video is more talented but less skilled
"In his prime years!" So, from 07-08 to now? Got it.

Just imagine if the lakers had this Lebron 🔥
6:08 LeBron is so strong, 3 guys try and take him down but instead he drops both of them
Sheeshh
Lebron would have destroyed these bad boy Piston lol, these old heads really deluded, MJ was 6´6 200pounds in the mid to late 80´s, Lebron 6´9 260 and even 270 in Miami, that’s 3 inches taller and 50/60pounds heavier, and he is even faster and his vertical is just 2 inches shorter MJ 46 Lbj 44, Lebron would have absolutely destroy Isaiah Thomas and the worms, look in the video he bulddoze 7footer he out run 5ft10-6ft players, Lebron is as strong as the strongest and as fast as the fastest+ he is super smart and can shoot and finish with an insane control of the ball and his body, believe me making a simple lay up at this speed with players chasing you isn’t easy at all.
When you talk about the GOAT, it’s subjective, and different people base it on different factors. For me it’s about the eye test, and having a total impact on the game and your team. Without a doubt, indisputably, nobody impacts and dominates all facets of the game like Lebron James. That’s why for me he’s the GOAT.
Same and the allaround game🔥
Final answer !👍👍👍💪💪👏👏👏
Ain’t nobody else like him
No one
Once in a generation player... Im not a fan of him but i appreciate his work , hes a machine.
Still in his prime. 🐐🐐🐐
Drives me mad crazy when people say he's just an athletic freak.... Whose watching in 2019
Right
🙋🏾♂️
MVP season- Prime Heat Streak-Prime Cavs ring-Prime Dropping 51 in game one in the finals even though he got swept- Still prime Averaging 27,8,8 on the Lakers- Prime
Thanks to all the good players he got on the Lakers and he's still getting shit on by the bucks.
Jason West beat the mvp and fmvp back to back like he’s drake

@@jasonwest7444 Bucks? You mean Jimmy Buckets who just wiped his ass with consecutive MVP? Lmao
2022 Lebron 29 ppg, 8 rebounds and 6 assists PRIME!
Kevin Durant now - is not even close to being as good as this Lebron.
😂😂😂😂💀💀💀😂😂
It’s true, In my opinion Kevin Durant could not join a team in the east that doesn’t have 1 other all star, and win 66 games. That’s what Lebron did at 24.
Patrick Deaguiar you bugging
@@judahmourneth3211 you trippin
Honestly Smd's Durag explain.
crazy how different his game is now in 2023 and yet he's still top 10 in the league. time has robbed him of this ungodly speed and agility, but he's adapted his game to a new era and an older body.
was even better at 39 than 38 lmao
Such uncontrolled athleticism! Stunning.
The super fast version of lebron
Most all star NBA players wanna be the best. They wanna be like Jordan. They wanna win and they wanna help their team win. Their mindset is they wanna beat their defender. I think LeBron is in a different state of mind. He's a master of metacognition. It's like he's on a journey, he's playing a game and he knows it's a game. He has a certain on court awareness. People are watching and LeBron James knows he can do something special. LeBron sees the big picture, he's obsessed with life and meaning, not winning, and while basketball the game is not a form of art, LeBron James playing basketball is art. I feel blessed to walk the Earth with King James the living legend, I feel blessed to even share his last name as my first. He's the greatest player of all time, for the dunks, rings, press conferences, thoughts, and stories. Lonzo has all that same potential, just not the same skills. This year's NBA is gonna be epic to watch
Lebron wants to b mj bad n failing at it lmao
this is not his peak.. lebron has more prime than amazon prime
No one in the NBA today is guarding this LeBron.
This LeBron was on a whole different level, faster and more athletic than everyone,
He's crazy fast back then
This season shows how amazing LeBron is. Led that Cavs team on 66-16 record while having little to no help at all.
LeBron is really Goku in disguise, he has one last sensu Bean that will bring him to his 4th prime and then that's it...now its up to LBJ Jr. Aka gohan to take over the league
remember buddy there always be a vegeta near who s goin 2 chase you and overpower sometime)
Gogan is a disappointment
so you mean bronny will disappoint us? (gohan sometimes is disappointing)
Lmao itll be funny if lbj jr just decides to become an accountant mid college career
Lmfao 😂
Being arguably the fastest in the NBA at 260lb is insane. Ain’t nobody drawing a charge against that. You’ll be leaving in a bodybag
GOAT
6:08 he would dominate in the 80s and 90s
he will cook anyone in 90s bro
Sheesh bro just dragged 2 grown men with him. Thats some strength
Cavs really wasted Lebron athletic prime, 2009 is the best playoff run of all time.
In what world is 24 your prime? That’s how you know he’s the goat been the best player in the league since 07
The People's Mix kobe was in his prime age 24 d.wade was prime age 24 calm down. Kobe avg 30 points 7 rebounds 6 assists at age 24
Did he win a chip this year
Anthony Williams nah he got bounced out of the playoffs and left to create a superteam
SK so why would you retire twice in your damn prime lol and LeBron has been the best in the world since 07 without a doubt and say the same for MJ if you are getting swept IN THE FIRST FUCKING ROUND LMFOAOOOOOO
@@thepeoplesmix9779 if lebrons been the best since 07 how come he only has 3 chips and needed a super team for 2 of them
I Don’t think this dude ever got out of his prime years , he still livin’em
Most nba fans now didn’t realize how he defeated these big 3 with no stars team. Haters always sees your flaws
Look at his teammates. They won 66 games with second best player probably was big z. That's amazing
Put MJ, KOBE, DURANT or anyone you think, this Cavs team wont passed this Detroit team, only LEBRON can make it work! That's the difference maker on who is the GOAT!
This is the type of LeBron u want on ur team today a Balance between his young self and Prime......
His fast and strong asf
Athletic + IQ, Strong + fast= goat
I’m watching him speak at 2:15 and it’s different hearing how he used to sound when he was younger compared to his adult age now in 2022.
You can see the raw athleticism he had here. This was arguably his athletic prime just through the eye test shame he didn’t have the experience and mental toughness needed to win a championship.
Or teammates ESPECIALLYYYY the teammates lolzzz
if this version of lebron james plays in todays nba, he will definitely destroy every team and every super star.
The man just does everything
6:08 this play is insane, 3 players got dragged to the floor
At what point of KD career was he better then Lebron? 😂😂😂😂😂
Never 😂😂😂 that bum had to join GSW to win
Kd is just a better shooter.. thats it..
Just better 3 pointer and maybe mid range jumper.
Ever since his first MVP season LeBron has been the best player in the world. KD is absolutely world class and has always been #2.

Hes been in the GOAT conversation for a reason of course
Realize that this is just 4 games. There are plenty of players out there with 400+ games that don't have CAREER highlights as good as this.
The SPEED, POWER, TALENT and the GRACE!... WOW just WOW! He was just pure FORCE that no one can match back then!
Watching this lebron got me saying 2020 bron move slow 🤣
Agreed 2020 lebron slow version 😂😂😂
2020 slow but surely...
Cavs 1.0 athletic prime | Heat Shooting Prime | Cavs 2 Absolute god mode prime | Lakers | Point god Prime
Cavs 2 is the best all around version of him
Back when 3 pointers were rare...
1:10 I hope people understand how otherworldly athletic that play was. He ran across the court and dunked it, making all these other top athletes look slow as snails.
My second favorite version of LeBron next to the Miami Heat one
Deyyymmm tooo many highlights evry single game👑🐐
2021 still the best player in the world
Cleveland completely wasted his first 7 years, They spent money on NO ONE then started bringing in players way past their prime. Should've got a ring in his first 7 years i blame the orginazation
He’s still in his prime, long live the king 👑
Even now he still one of the best
This dude is still in his prime and bout to be 34 it’s honestly ridiculous and inspiring so much respect for him💯
6:11 get off me! 😂
His mvp prime years???? Hahahaha bro 16 years later he is still in his prime, till he retires that's why he is going to go down as the 🐐🐐 cause of his longevity and the way he plays the game. Rings do mean something but you get rings as a team not individual player.
bron want rings as bad as any player ever, he switch teams 3 times for rings so let's not act like rings isn't important especially bein mentioned in the Goat conversation
4:57 facts this dude is a freak of nature on speed at his size idk how can ppl hate Bron i can’t understand that
Damn he’s fast and explosive. Really took for granted his prime years verses where he’s at now
2004-2009 james was athletic as hell. no one can defend him unless they double or triple team him
House of highlights ur saving us right now with no nba this is a life saver
Lol facts
GREATEST OF ALL TIME
The cavs should bring this jerseys back especially the navy blue one
This is the Lebron I wanna face today's Giannis...
This Bron is just way to fast and way too strong for Giannis all Giannis has is he’s taller and even then this Lebron can jump just as high as Giannis even higher
People need to appreciate what he did that year..the Detroit pistons were the king of the east around this time
Nah they was washed then
2009???no idont think so...2006 Miami heat won champion ship 2008celtics,2007, and 2005spurs
Yup and they just swept t under the rug like Bron wasn’t doing GODly stuff as a pupp
@1:10 this man took two dribbles from almost half court and got to the basket. What a freak of nature.
look how fast he is at 1:08, that is insane
