the “it’s over” still gives me chills to this day. Greatest finals game ever.
CLEVELAND IS A CITY OF CHAMPIONS ONCE AGAIN!
What he did in the 2016 finals isn’t talked about enough. Led BOTH teams in five statistical categories. Points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. Dude is the greatest all around player ever. 🐐.
That’s why he got mvp cause kyire could of got it to he averaged 27

@@tr3 GOAT is an opinion, clown. And in the case of LeBron, GOAT is a fucking lie lmfaoo get educated
This man has the most interesting sports story ever. Kids nowadays have no idea how long King has been playing. It feels like I've been rooting for this guy my entire life and I am old enough. I've already witnessed 3 hall of fame careers from him and he's not even done yet. GOAT is a matter of generations and feelings. Bron is the GOAT of my generation, if not for all generations.
*Messi.
Hell no you glazer. This is like when people were glazing Kobe and MJ too. Stop worshiping false idols
@@shaunmahlangu1673 i mean we've been lucky enough to see like Messi, ronaldo, federer, nadal, phelps, bolt, etc..... all in our generation
We are exactly the same. Bron is my goat.
The goat?
The Pistons and Hawks series were pretty identical, both a sweep, winning the last game on a missed shot by the other team, with basically the same score 😳
Cleveland this is for you
I really love 2016 LeBron, and playoffs
Almost 10 years ago wow remember this like yesterday
7 years
Good times man
LeBron went crazy this year indeed, but also, what a great team they put together. Defense, running the fast break, knocking down 3s. Great balance.
This was my fav playoff run from bron this championship meant so much to him
James story every finals he won was historically belong to the greats. 2013 2016 2020 those moments are remarkable in basketball history
Greatest basketball player I have EVER seen and the greatest NBA championship EVER won. I just feel lucky I got to watch this all happen live.
Kevin love being the first guy bron hugged after every series win was lit lol
That block by James gives me goosebumps every time i hear it
BEST FINALS EVER IN NBA HISTORY.
I wouldn’t say ever all of these games except like 1 were blowouts
No tf it wasn’t, it had like 3 blowouts
i was so lucky to be a 16 year old in cleveland experiencing this.
Lebron James and Kyrie Irving duo created history by overcoming the 3-1 deficit ....This cleveland win was special and historic. This run by Cleveland is the greatest championship ever.
That comeback was so rigged...

THIS is the greatest basketball player ever. I don’t care what anyone else says.
Michael Jordan? Bill Russell? Bill Walton? Wilt Chamberlain?
@TiagoGomez-hb9te I already have guys like ant,jalen,wemby, and chet over those bums
Goat
When LeBron led the comeback from a 3 to 1 deficit against the 73 win Warriors, that is when he passed Michael Jordan on the GOAT list in my eyes. I still had him as #2 to Kareem until last year when he passed Kareem on the all-time scoring list. With more than 40,000 points scored, there is absolutely no doubt that LeBron is the GOAT. Of course there are going to be those who try to deny LeBron his due for reaching a historic milestone, but I don't consider those people's opionion, because their opinion is clearly motivated by hatred.
LBJ's still an unlikeable player at the end of the day...
@@TiagoGomez-hb9te Perhaps to haters like yourself. But I love LeBron as do most true basketball fans.
@StevenC32 What makes a "True Basketball fan?" The NBA's scripted, so it's allowed to rig its game to whatever outcome the league wants at the end of the day... I still think Bill Russell's the best player who played the entire game. Yes, even better than Wilt Chamberlain because he is the Ying to his Yang...
@StevenC32 That 2016 Finals comeback was still incredibly scripted...
2024 goosebumps
The goat of team sports
There's no acronym for the kid from Akron other than G.O.A.T.
the only reason they went 3-1 was because the dude was exhausted from carrying all the way to the finals.. let’s be real.. mans was exhausted, caught his breath and come back like he never left
bro shut tup please, let's not act like kyrie wasn't there or love tf

This playoff run by LeBron James capped off with a championship is super nostalgic
Lebron James and The Cavs are the Unsung Hero of The NBA FINALS OF 2016
Different
god qi miss bron and kyrie together so bad
Lebron is not boring to watch 👑🐐 unlike curry all he know is shoot three point shots 😂🤣
Fine I'll give you that...
Kyrie saved Cleveland that 2016 ring 💯💯💯💯
When be proved to me he was the Goat already 🐐
Let's be honest ... You're telling me that this man wouldn't be dominant in the 90's? How is that possible? You're telling me he'd have trouble dominating MJ? Different eras different teams but this guy would dominate even in the year 3000. That is pure greatness
ofc he would. This era is better. How can anybody say our current era is worse when centers shoot step back 3's and have to guard 1-5 is worse than centers who could only foul and not shoot outside the paint in the 80's-90's. Players get better over time
No one knows what would happen and for you to say he would dominate. That’s just your opinion it’s not facts unless it actually happened. 🤷🏽♂️
@@puncho8799 if you put curry in the 70's he would dominate. Ik you agree. Same logic applies
@@sonny4978 whatever era you put a player in that player would have to play like that era played. You have to remember every era had its own mindset when it comes to playing basketball. The same goes for putting a 70s player and this era. They would have access to all the great technology, medicine and training and play style of today. That’s why trying to put players in different era’s is never realistic.
@@puncho8799 you know in the 70's they couldn't dribble with their left hand right?
🐐👑
cant believe that people think there is a better player than LeBron.
Jordan 🐐💯
There EASILY is a better player, BY FAR - Michael Jordan. The effort you glaze over here is Michael's NORMAL. What I find disturbing is how Lebrons mediocre career (which only stands out because of his longevity due to sports science advancements) impresses you so much. Your bar for excellence is shockingly low.
@@00Mindi00in this video during the finals, he lead both the cavs and the warriors in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals for the entire series. It's never been done before or since by any player ever. And it was done against the team with the best regular season record in NBA history. If that's not greatness then I don't know what is.
@@00Mindi00when did Jordan ever come close to leading both teams in ANY playoff series, let alone the finals? Jordan never played a team that was anywhere near as good as the warriors dynasty.

I wish Kyrie was mature enough to weather the "KD soft life" era smh. They complimented each other well when Kyrie was healthy.
Marcus Morris must be pissed. He lost to GOAT with the Pistons and with the Celtics.
😂😂😂😂😂
Jordan 🐐💯
Tha fucking goat 🐐
Cavs were stacked
@24:00 SPE
If this Bron was in nba rn GG
If Bron was gifted with another 10 percent in his midranger shot ,10 percent to his freethrow, and 10 percent of a lion mentality, he could easily own his opponent. With that athleticsm, couldve won 9 of his 10 finals appearance.
Teams win championships, not players.
Don't comment basketball again user whatever
You could be the best player on the floor, but if you don't have a decent team around you then you won't win any championships. 2018 lebron is an example of that
that's not how a competitive era works lmao
@@Zion122 Are you sure about that? Remember Michael Jordan? Remember Bill Russell? Remember Larry Bird? Those guys were a obe man army...
yoooo
Ik luka didn’t win the ring but his 2022 playoff run was special
Blocked by James! Postseason
Yup, he is the GOAT .. and I have watched all of MJ accomplishments and Kobe's. Yeahhh! LeBron is way better all round and the GOAT. He passes 3x more than these two and still scores more ... LOL!
Ate you sure about that?
So lucky that bogut got injured.......................
'09 kobe please
Nanny Goat
The 2016 cavs and warriors were evenly matched, the cavs were not an underdog. Season record’s don’t mean much in the playoffs. The mavs lost in the first round to an 8th seed after winning 67 games. The warriors lost bogut, had draymond suspended, and curry got hurt. Absolutely no way this made lebron the greatest player ever. Absolutely great performance but he should have never gone down 3-1. Kyrie outplayed steph and that is a fact.
Clown
@@dantewilliams7458 you are blinded by idolatry kid
Kyrie made stephanie curry dance whole series
@@lioninthesunan you stupid
Does this same excuse count for Lebron the year before when Love and Kyrie were gone the whole series?

Don't think he's the GOAT. But it was so satisfying watching him kill Curry's insane overhype that season. People really calling Curry the best player in the world just because they spite Bron was just so beyond disrespectful.

LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time. Argue with a wall I don't care. Bunch of 20 year olds or teenagers who have never seen a live Jordan game or even a full game replay calling MJ the GOAT is hilarious. Old heads who think the 90s expansion era was the greatest and toughest era of basketball is hilarious. The talent in the league currently is the best it has EVER been. Players in the 90s weren't pulling up from 30 feet like Steph and Dame. You didn't have 7 footers like KD who can score 50-40-90 at all 3 levels. LeBron's competition and Finals competition TRUMPS Jordans and it's not even close. Jordan never had to play and beat a 73-9 team in the Finals because he was blessed with a team that great as well as the greatest Coach of all time in Phil Jackson and the best 2 way wing of his generation in Pippen as well as Rodman. Jordan NEVER had to play a team as good as the KD Warriors in the Finals. MJ NEVER had to play a team as good as the Dynasty Spurs multiple times. LeBron has scored more points in the regular season, playoffs, and Finals than MJ. MJ was washed on the Wizards he didn't come close to what LeBron is currently doing at 38 years old in year 21. LeBron has more assists and rebounds than MJ and will finish his career with 40k points, 10k assists, 10k rebounds. NEVER been done before. The All Time Scoring Record will be untouchable. 👑🐐

U can just watch them play and tell Lebron is obviously better he’s way bigger he’s fast as hell, his driving and passing is absolutely insane he blocks shots and locks up on D. Jordan lil ass would get folded by Lebron
@@kylinmooney167you have the benefit of watching Lebron highlights everywhere, anywhere on your phone, in HD. Everyone knew who MJ was without this modern-day convenience. Think about that.
You sound like you’re now defending Lebron’s losing record. You can never be the GOAT and have a losing record. That’s the first criterion. Plain and simple.
KZhead allowing symbolic male on male fellating in their comment section is the most egregious pro lgbt shite ever.

He's my goat
Kyrie had you stay with LeBron could've won more rings I believe, your big ego n pride unfortunately cost you, oh you claimed I'm my own man, yeah you are
Lets be for real, they weren’t going to beat the warriors once kd got there, kyrie averaged 29 in the finals in 2017 and lebron averaged a 30 point triple double in that finals and they got gentlemen swept by the kd/steph warriors.
Kyrie made the right decision ✊🏽
He maybe the goat in china in America he is a sheep
Would you say the same thing about Jordan?
in china it's jordan then kobe. no one puts lebron in that convo
It’s still jordan good try tho . Put one together of Jordan’s season
Will have them too, MJ is my 🐐 BTW, I just like to see the comments every time title says The GOAT 😆

@@LukeElectric A man who loves Silverchait the copy of Pearl Jam can't tell me anything. Silverchair is a bullshit, a cheap copy of Pearl Jam. And Leflopp James is the fake 23. GO HOME BABY. Te vamos a chingar wey
He's NOWHERE close to GOAT level. Is he amazing, yes. Is he a generational great, yes. But he's not anywhere close to Michael's level, he could play another 5 seasons and he'll still be trying to catch up. All Lebron has to his name is longevity. Nothing else.
Pure Hater, and an old head that loves MJ. You sir don’t understand Greatness…give Lebron half of MJ’s…triangle system, hall of fame coach, a Scottie Pippen & Dennis Rodman. Different conversation and debate. Different era and play style, Lebron is facing WAY BETTER COMPETITION than MJ.
Please stop talking basketball minti
😂 just number 1 all time in every major stat and analytic. 20+ all star and all-nba. Jordan has two more rings (team accomplishment) buy individually it’s a joke to compare the two. Jordan had ten great seasons, Lebron twenty
In this Finals series he led BOTH TEAMS in all five major statistical categories. Points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks for the entire series. Both teams. There are players that are in the league specifically to rebound, or play defense or to score. Think about how insane it is to lead both teams in every category, and in the Finals no less. It's never been done before or since by any player ever. That's goat material to me.

LeBron is better at everything MJ does except for mid range shooting and free throws. Before you bring up "b-b-but SiX RiNgS 6-0 iN tHe FiNaLs" please take into account the fact that FINALS COMPETITION MATTERS. Jordan NEVER had to play a team like the 73-9 Warriors (let alone beat a team like that in the Finals) because that's the team he HAD. Jordan lucked out having the greatest coach of all time in Phil Jackson, the best 2 way wing of his era in Pippen, and the best rebounder and on of the best defender in Rodman. As well has having Kerr, Paxton, Kukoc, Horace Grant. Jordan has the dream team scenario. Jordan never played against a team like the KD Warriors or the Spurs dynasty multiple times. So please save that silly team accomplishment bs. Even with LeBron's immensely greater Finals competition he still has 4 rings and 4 Finals MVP's and would have more if KD never joined the 73-9 Warriors. LeBron was ROBBED of a DPOY in 2013 when they gave the award to Marc Gasol even though he was 2nd team All Defense. LeBron was ROBBED of the 1st Unanimous MVP when a salty Boston media member gave 1 vote to Carmelo Anthony. So spare the media given awards. What Jordan NEVER did was do what LeBron is currently doing in year 21 at 38 years old. Jordan was WASHED on the Wizards. LeBron has scored more points than MJ in the regular season, playoffs, and Finals. LeBron has more assists and rebounds than Jordan. Sorry man, LeBron is the Greatest Player of All Time.
