Yoo put music on them why u stop doing that
Tagalog full movie
Ive noticed that Lebron plays better when the odds are against him, and when everything is on the line. He was so determined in 2012 after the shitty 2011 performance, he was unstoppable.
Like KD in his first finals as a warrior
Well it was easy when the refs kept calling fouls on KD and keeping him in foul trouble.
@@l9ikjam well yea what do u expect lebron got 50 pounds of muscle of him and speed
@watchful news damn your mad af
@watchful news you are wrong yeah there can be bad calls but that okc team was not organized on defense to guard Lebron or the heat and everyone says a final is rigged every year if its close like give the team the props they deserve
I dont think it matters whether you are Team Lebron or KD, you have to admit that both of them were damn good this series
KD as a fucking baby was matching peak Lebron on a mission, this finals series is overlooked imo. Every game is incredible to watch
Damn I forgot how competitive this series was. Other then game 5 most of the games were within 5
Smh KD absolutely lit it up
If we be honest LeBron and KD as a pair should be greater than Bird and Magic as a pair not when it comes to impact but just their pure talent they should be above magic and bird. I believe as a pair they are better but not greater (meaning in a vacuum I think Bron and Kd are better but kd has to accomplish more for us to view it as a greater pairing)
Magic > lebron > bird > kd
Top Kek how does that make any sense. Lebron is literally a better magic.
@@nets4life377 Magic is better at winning championships which is the most important thing in basketball
Top Kek It’s literally impossible to state that he’s better at winning championships. He’s had a great team and top 5 player on his team for most of his career. They faced different teams and played in different eras. How can you judge either as a better winner? Just look at them individually. Lebron was easily a better defender. Way more athletic and stronger. A better shooter and scorer as well. He’s literally just a better version of him.
Nets 4life yes, magic was drafted to a good team and lebron wasn’t. That argument worked until 2010. lebron made a superteam in Miami that was supposed to win him >6 rings and he only got two out of it. So yeah, Imma need him to get at least 5 rings with his handpicked teammates before I put him ahead of magic
KD does not get enough credit for how incredible he was in these finals - he matched Lebron every step of the series and outplayed him a number of times. Unfortunately, Harden sucked and Westbrook was a mixed bag
Idk man, Westbrook only underperformed in game 5. It was harden who really just didn't show up.
Wedtbrook averaged 27 they all sucked in clutch time and blew leads. Credit to kd tho, but bron knocked down more big shots and made more plays, kd didn't outplay him but be outscored him.
@@j2tyme285 KD was the best player on the court, his team was still young and inexperienced though.
@@scottandigan6276 idk LeBron was making better plays and stepping up when wade and bosh weren’t
@@leilaziani9833 Harden was just getting into his own
That last second no call in game 2 changed the landscape of the nba, and the narrative for lebron.
That was definitely a foul
Just father teaching son how to play basketball, Lebron is a really kind father to have.
Attention Currsexuals L

Dynamic Duo lmaooooo
Miami beat Durant as a team. Durant dropped 30ppg on 55% shooting all in Brons mouth. He was fighting a big three with a PG who played terrible and shot more than him and a 6th man that didn't show up. Not to mention an idiot coach who didn't make the adjustment when Miami went to small ball.
@tony tonyt Were talking about the OKC vs MIA matchup and Bron averaged 27 on 47% shooting. Bron didn't even try to win those GS matchups all he did was try to stat stuff. Look at his first half stats to his second half. He put up points early then relaxed second half. Dude didn't even compete.
great video i love your videos you have on youtube keep it up and maybe some Celtics videos i love the celtics
These 2 will go down as Top 5 all time individual players

1:10 and 1:28 and 2:51 the most underrated posters I’ve ever seen 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They say KD cant get it done without a superteam... Well lets be honest... KD is KD every game... No matter whos on the team... The Warriors jus happen to have players that we're really good shooters lol... But even in Brooklyn... KD is KD
this didn’t age well
@@traceylamar8027 for real 😂😂
yah Kd is Kd not Lebron because Lebron never gets swept in the first round
@@skrilla_03. you know you are absolutely right... Tell us how Lebrons 1st round went this season please???
@@skrilla_03. and you right he doesnt get swept in the 1st round... Jus the finals... Spurs did it once and who was the last ones that swept LBJ in the finals??? Steph... Klay... Draymond... And who??? Oh yea KD
That no call in game 2 was the turning point of the series. Lebron fouled durant on that shot, I remember being so mad at that no call.
offensive initiated contact, they wunt boutta give him that😂 good no call ref😂😂
kevin durant is so underated..to me he is the best
When compared to Labron. He had better skills.
This series is so nostalgic 😂 I remember hatinggggg bron and the heat... one thing I also remember was every time okc got hot they’d get cold for just as long.... they were the definition of extreme talent with no experience. As a GSW fan I thought this would be the dynasty that would reign the west....
They were young. Also westbrook was that type of guy who would have one great game and play poorly in the next 5
Durant was the only player on the thunder that came prepared to play in the finals. It also doesn't help that 2012 Lebron is the best player in NBA history.

@@gggyy7104 2009 lebron averaged 39 a game against dwight he got outplayed?? mo williams was sht
@@bangeyboi2143 Who said he got outplayed
@@bangeyboi2143 he did get outplayed. Dwight was the best defensive player in the league. Stats in this case are for lazy fans. The Cavs overall were great that season. Stop blaming external factors. Next time, u might as well blame Donald Trump or Putin if LeBron gets another first round exit.
3:50 what a step
LeGoat James
Kd VS LeBron is now an all time classic rivalry
oh how the tables have turned
tony tonyt we’ll be seeing KD vs Kawhi for the next handful of years.
@@reobae it used to be kd vs lebron now its leanord vs giannis
Yes they have 🏆🏆🏆🏆King James 👑🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Reo Bae no
I always wanted to see a Cleveland Lebron against OKC Durant
@K G nah it would be close but harden Westbrook Durant is to much for kyrie and lebron james and plus that is before ball hog Westbrook
He played ok in that series offensively. But he is much better now.
I hope to see them face off once again in the finals next season. LA vs BKN 2022. :)
KD was on 22 smh 🔥

Zach LaVine I wish but the Warriors have too much talent and fire power, I don't see Cleveland beating them

warriors in 5
Bro I’m so glad I got to watch KD and Lebron coming up in the league .
Yessir!
Damn..KD a 2 way player,look at all that defense..it ain't the warriors system,he always been a beast on defense
Lebron fans always demolish how crazy Kd got on defense. Logically, giannis and Kd are the only two can truly guard him down. Because of their length height and quickness. Without screen and help from teammates, Lebum is no near to Kd
THURSDAY HURRY UP AND COME :( I CAN'T STAND NOT WATCHING BASKETBALL
Lmao all these kids that just watch highlights anyone that actually watch the full series know Lebron locked down kd and kd points came from garbage time
The one who didn’t watch the game is you. Lebron can’t guard Kd at all, but Kd can truly slow lebron down because of his length and quickness. So dumb of you having such idiotic comments
@@themanndan3535 Lebron locked kd down this series kd was constantly looking for switches
Both of them play waaay better today according to me
As a thunder fan I’ll always be pissed at that Lebron no call on KD at the end of game 2. KD makes those feee throws. OKC goes up 2-0 headed to Miami. James Harden went M.I.A as well after demolishing the spurs
uh youre wrong they were tied until lebron and wade saved them by a dunk and a midrange and another dunk
Cant'vin Durcant blew a 1-0 lead in the 2012 finals WHAT A CHOKER
tea fuze shut up Golden State Blew a 3-1 lead and Lebron blew a 2-0 lead in 2011
Kd will average 32ppg LBJ will average 34ppg as the 7'0 assassin vs king james.
Yes sir! Were all blessed to watch
Actually lebron averaged less than that Around 28 ppg 45% While kd is 30 ppg 54%
I remember Durant was incredible during this entire playoff run. Game one of the finals he completely outplayed James. He brought his team back from being down big and sealed the deal. He did the same in game 2 but they didn't get the foul call at the end of the game . After that Miami mad adjustments. This series was lost by Westbrooks ego and Scott Brooks inability to coach.
In 2012 lebron was much better than KD overall
People act like OKC was out matched they were in it in every game
If Okc had the mvp prime thunder they wipe the floor with that heat team. Not to mention Ibaka is way better than he was in 2012. Scary to think about
OKC was the favorite coming into the finals bro
Well one was a superteam the other was a team that drafted all of their all stars lol
@@fnln7263 still the same talent, who cares if they were drafted
@@elijahbrown1714 I care, why would I praise a cheap ring where all of these proven talents just join together
Kevin Durant vs Lebron James wow. James is good but. ...Kevin Durant is gold
No bro. He still hasnt passed 🐐 James. He is a better scorer. But Bron is the best player. More versatile.
@@Taijhrobnson lmao u serious cause I thought kd was more versatile bron in predictable lmao
Durant doing this same thing for the warriors its just he is winning now. If he not better than bron here he not better now. Sane durant
These finals were so one-sided it was disgusting. I wasn't realistically expecting OKC to win but no way in hell they should've won only 1 game. Refs always tried to put KD in foul trouble and succeeded at it. How tf does a dude that averages 2 fouls per game during that season and playoffs get 5 fouls in every finals game but game 1 and 4? Game 1 they didn't do shit, wanted to see how things would pan out, OKC won, they panicked and started lending out a little hand to Miami ffs. Unbelieavable. It was simply one-sided. Bad calls for days... OKC does something, it's a foul. Heat did the same thing next game, no foul. It was simply sad.
Alex Sousa it was rigged from start to finish.
Anyone with a brain knows it was rigged.
Lol
It would've been a 6 game series at least if the game format wasn't 2-3-2
LeBron in 6
LeBeautiful Kyrie in 4
LeBeautiful LeWrong
man game 1 cannot come any faster
I really hope this happens again cause I'm an okc fan and nothing would please me more than seeing Lebron expose kd
U just mad cause kd left ur garbage ass team after everything kd did for OKC and that’s your wish on him SMFH you’re a hypocrite and salty as fuck.
Lebron is so likeable
KD vs Heat, now i understand why he goes to gsw
He was averaging 30 in that series 😂😂
@@richfree233 so was LeBron
westbrook 27 6 6 Are you kidding me ? KD is just a scorer, but no other ability
3:17 would you look at that KD choking again
Should of been a foul on Bron....left arm on leg
It's literally a foul
And other thing Lebron was not able to stop kd It was just a unlucky floater have made by durant.
Foul.
If Kevin love averages at least 20 and 10, the cavs will win this years finals.
Incoming warriors fans gonna cry and make up excuses about this series being rigged just because LeBron won lmao LeBron>KD since 2007 and btw Cavs in 6
Daniel Somar W as usual OG
The refs were overly biased. Calling numerous phantom calls and getting Durant in foul trouble. The tape doesn't lie look it up. This was rigged af
Waniel Womar this was wrong lol
Neutral fan. Warriors in 6. Their offense is way too good. If LEBRON goes to guard someone else Durant has a mismatch.

If the media would have hyped kd like they did Lb guess what?
@@harryrobinson6282 what he a still be not better? Lol media goes with what actually happening they not hyping him up there showing what he actually did lol
The difference was Miami team was clearly better. Kd and LeBron equal in skill. But LeBron had wade and body. Kd had Westbrook and young players
If anyone has a memory you know the refs sucked this series
John smith L
it was rigged
John smith the 2-3-2 structure is the reason they won in 5, even if they thad the current 2-2-1-1-1 structure, the heat would've still won
naseem almawri nah I still think they win in 5
that last second foul in game 2 changed everything, definitely a foul
Just watch the whole FIINALS You will know that LEBRON is much better than KD In addition to being able to score, Lebron can also drive his teammates On the contrary, KD will only score points and cannot drive teammates...LEBRON 7.0 assists, KD only 2.1 assists is the best proof
Kd can drive what are u talking about. Kd has one of the best fg% in the paint in nba history. Plus kd didn't have mike miller battier and chalmers making 5 3s every game.
You don't know Ball bud
All that crap people say about Kevin Durant is irrelevant appreciate greatness
It’s crazy because one on one kd outplayed lebron .
Fucking facts
no
@@flacoboi yes absolutely only a fool in denial would disagree but then again here you are
Lebron to this in 2012 against kd and this time I'm going for kd this time and he better win and take average of this situation with GS and kd better not choke even tho he cough cough choke before and kd no excuses.
Are players even tho is good anymore?
KD has never had and never will have a killer instinct... with that being said cavs in 6
In 4
Jakob Lozano neither does Lebron
The L distributor go watch the 2012 ECF finals ( game 6 specifically ) and 2016 games 5-7 then come back
Jakob Lozano go watch the entire 2011 finals and more recently game 3 vs the Celtics this year
Jakob Lozano you must watch too much first take or other sports media to be one of the best players in the league and to make the playoffs every year for more than 5 years definitely takes "killer instinct". Stop being an insecure fanboy and just enjoy two of the greatest players ever compete.
5:13 harden to kd RIP
@Dan Sanders lol
Bro KD scoring on Bron at will
Lebron james is way better but both have respect for each other
Rigged for lebron to take his first ring now the revenge is hapening. 2017 ring to durant and 2018
Lol called it
Lebron always ran from guarding KD.... hmmm
It's gonna be a good duel this time but last time Lebron slayed kd ngl

@saya gua 4-1 4-0 back to back finals
@saya gua yeah yeah yeah...answer this who was back to back finals mvp?🤔🤔 oh ok...and who called who after they choked away a 3-1 lead? Oh ok...who was the best player on those teams??🤔🤔oh ok
@saya gua answer the question and stay on topic
@saya gua first of all they weren’t 73-9 when he joined them....I mean correct me if I’m wrong. That was not the same team. But since you want to go that route since they where so great why didn’t they win the chip being up 3-1? And why did the recruit him right after they lost? If kyrie don’t go down in ‘15 they would have been ringless. Keep it a buck bro...KD was their only hope of getting back to the finals consistently. He made them superior. He made them the favorites.
Cap 🧢
3:27 thats your king?
Yep n he the goat
KD the dissappearing act whenever he faced LeBron in close games lmao

its lebron vs durant. look at the title

LeBron looked so much better at 270.. then he went vegetarian and lost 20 lbs
*KD* grew tired of losing to *LeBron* ever since LeBron was still with the old Cavs that's why he finally jumped into the bandwagon and joined the biggest, baddest gang in the hood...
LeBron gets damn near all his $$ at the rim. KD gets his anywhere he wants.
And he still chokes on the last game 😂
@@tyresetyler2607 it's the team's fault. If only Harden played well that series they could have win...
