@@bill11ringsrussell66 you say Jordan played in the expansion era the Heat,Magic,Hornets in the East were expansion team's yet were good and the Magic even got to the Finals. The other expansion team's were the Grizzles,Raptors,Timberwolves only the Raptors were in the East that sucked. The East was strong due to the Dynasties that ran the 80s (76ers,Celtics,Pistons). Also not too long ago a team in the East made the playoffs with 36 wins I'll Google the team. Jordan dominance in the greatest era of basketball to date. You joke about Jordan hitting game winner's over Elho but praise LeBron who got locked down by an Unathletic 6'1 JJ Barea 😂😂 ooooh the irony.

I love all the analysts in the comment section with “MJ could have never made the finals with this team” or “look how bad lebrons stat line is, MJ would have done better” no one knows and no one will ever know. There’s not even a reason to have a goat argument because different eras, different play styles, different body types, and different positions. Appreciate what MJ did, and appreciate what lebron is doing

Even though they said the east was weak, he took his team to finals when he was only 22 years old, and that team's starting 5 was Ilgauskas, Gooden, Lebron, Hughes, Eric Snow. The rest of his teammates were Delonte West, Sasha Pavlovic, Varejao, Gibson and etc. Jordan got to his first finals at the age of 28. He played against a weaker team in the finals. His team had one 4x All Defensive, and one HOF + 10x All Defensive team player. Who was Lebron's best teammate when he took that team to the finals at the age of 22? It was Ilgauskas. Who did he play against? He played against a team that had 2 hall of famers, + Tony Parker, Robert Horry, Bruce Bowen. I'm an 80/90s kid and Jordan was my hero. But this guy is more than just a hero, this guy is the mixture of all the basketball gods combined in one body. Between Jordan's first 3peat and second 3peat, he chose to rest for a year and a half. When he came back his team had 4 Hall of famers in total, including him.

11:48 one of my favorite LeBron dunks ever. Bowen on him, quick jab and literally just explodes like a fucking rocket
It's crazy how that version of LeBron James is damn near a kid but this version would destroy the league today . This MF is unreal. Been the face of the league since he entered it. The mf GOAT
its crazy how he met this team 2 more times in the finals
If only he didnt get triple teamed every damn posession
Thats how Kobe felt every game
Jeremy King yeah but Kobe had Shaq, then Gasol and plenty of other role players.
Tristan Lindquist Lebron had Wade, Bosh, and plenty of roll players too?
Jeremy King yeah he ended up teaming with them after 7-8 years of complete trash, Kobe always had teammates around him.
Tristan Lindquist 2004-2007 Kobe had no one. 2012-2016 Kobe had no one.
When u think bout it, he made the finals in his second playoff run. It took him 2 attempts to get to the finals, thats crazy. I sure do miss old cavs bron
0:04 perfect description of how Lebron carried this team to the damn finals
Can we all agree 2018 LeBron would beat all the teams he lost to in the finals. Like come on he doesn't even play like this anymore he's 10x better now
jaysmash212 Lmao with those players no he wouldn't 3-6😂😂😂😂😑swept twice
Tomron Bradgers tom brady lost to a backup quarterback ... Automatic L my guy 😂😂😂😂
BitchThekidd Kurt Warner lost to a backup and Lebron got outplayed and lockdown by a bench player in the finals😂😂😂😂😂 try counter arguing that
Tomron Bradgers Brady choked vs the Giants when he had Randy moss
Egg14 able How Brady choked when the Giants did the helmet catch in 2007 and Manningham catch in 2011 lmao try again
The fact that this guy even got to the finals with this team is nothing short of astounding
Yeah like his teammates arent NBA players..
@@kimbertumen4382 name a worse starting finals 5 then? Without Lebron on the Cavs? Cmon now
@@mikemarc92 right. Only one team I can think of was the 01 76ers with A.I but then again. A.I had mutumbo 🤣
@@rodrxgo_ yeah lol. Mutumbo was the defensive player of the year and starting all star center, and AI had the 6th man of the year lol
Lebron gets tripled team and double teamed often because his teammates dont know how to make plays for themselves. Just shows how this team has NO BUSINESS being there in the Finals. Lebron too good!
WELp 2018 flashbacks swept like the raptors
@Gerald Dunbar 22 7 and 6 as the only actual option is fantastic
thats not true he didn't score the first 8 minutes of the 1st quarter in game 1 and they kept the game close.
that's not good if u so call by yourself, 23 year old mj by himself average 42 points, 7boards n assist vs top 5 greatest team all time
Juwan Dunbar Did 23yr old MJ make it to the finals that season?
Props to Bron. Deserves to be in the goat conversation. His resume is huge
Watching this series felt reminiscent of the 2002 NBA finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Jersey Nets
The Spurs were LITERALLY running away from Z, Verajao, Gooden and Eric Snow to double and triple team LBJ 😂🤣😆
I remember watching those finals. People forget that San Antonio with Duncan , Gonobili and Parker had 3 Hall of Fame candidates, they were a hell of a team and had great chemistry. Too much for Cleveland...
Don't forget Robert Horry, he might eventually get into the HOF. 7 rings 3 diff teams and very great 3pt shooter.
Cleveland had 0 business in the finals! Lebron had to go through with 3 hall of famers with this team and this is his first finals he’s been to.
Lebron didn't show up
This Cavs team was so bad but the Spurs were literally a dynasty they keyed in on Lebron the whole series
3 out of these 4 games were close lol
@@X02Overdose did I say they weren’t?
If lebron was this aggressive in 2011 against the mavs, the heat would’ve been the champs, this 07 version of bron was on another level from that 2011 one
Thank you!!!!!! This what I be telling people. His ass started getting soft as soon as he felt like he could pass the ball to another star. His mindset went from “whatever it takes to win” to “who do I need to win”
He would've had an easy 4 peat, if wade doesn't get injured of course
This was the first time a coach dared lebron to shoot jumpers . and it worked . after this season his jumper got 10x bettwr and he never had that problem again. Its disgusting to think he was 21 years old leading a team that had no business in the finals. Hes the greatest ive ever watched from a talent stand point and i grew up on jordan and watched kobe become the mamba. Lebron is the most explosive complete package ive ever seen . no mattwr who he played there wad a chance he was gunna will his team to a win
Josh Romero-Burgan Yea you didn’t watch the 2011 finals lol
Diego Velazquez we not talking about 2011 nba finals 😂 this was 2007 nba finals at 21 years old. That man at that time is the definition of “Prime” nba player
KOBE IS MORE EXPLOSIVE .. 62 IN THREE QUARTERS DROPS 55 AND 42 IN THE FIRST HALF ON MJ LAST GAME AND 81 POINTS AND ALSO 56 POINTS IN THREE QUARTERS AND 30 POINTS IN ONE QUARTER AND 9 STRAIGHT 40 POINTS OR MORE PLUS POINTS AND A LOT OF TOUGH SHOTS AND KNOCKING DOWN SHOTS EVEN THE HANDS ON HIS FACE .. LEBRON IS EXPLOSIVE GOING TO THE RIM IN OPEN .. LEBRON DOESN'T FIGHT TOE TO TOE AND HE WILL GONNA PASS THE BALL OR CALL FOR A SCREEN...FOR ME PASSING IS A COWARD NO KILLER INSTINCT ..
He was in a weak as conference so not surprised
@@keithlawrence2850 Why are all of these regular season stats. Cmon now bud, Kobe is a brick in the biggest moments, look it up bud
You can tell just how badly he wanted it. But, only so much one player can do.
Spurs exposed his weakness. He’s 40% outside 5-9 ft
Don’t blame Lebron for that. He didn’t have a team around him...
@Anastacio Calimag Jr who are you talking to
@Anastacio Calimag Jr oh are you defending LeBron James I agree with you man I love LeBron James i give him a pass for this series
@Anastacio Calimag Jr what
Lebron is really different from Kobe and MJ because He was stood alone and carried the team on his back , MJ and Kobe both of them have fav coach and great duo … King Build it different
People act like finals record automatically makes MJ the 🐐 not saying he is not but MJ was on much better teams
Every time he won he was on stacked teams
@@Jay_77727 no but those finals losses definitely don’t make LBJ one
@o4tw382 Yeah facing the greatest team ever put together for 2 years and facing another great dynasty in the spurs for 3 years
When the NBA was watchable and teams were organically made
What’s artificial about today?
People he was 21Yrs old 🎤
ivorysteele he was filling 23 that year... He is born in 1984 so yeah 21 my ass
tennisee10 so? How many players through out history have CARRIED a team to the finals at or around that age? If you have an answer for that I'd sincerely like to know
tennisee10 He was 22 at this time....He turned 23 in December, which was the 2007-2008 season
tennisee10 actually the finals was June . Bron Birthday in December. So he was 22. Ik not such a big difference but don’t try and downplay a 22 year old leading a team by himself to the finals Vs a top 3 offensive and defense with the best coach and team in the league 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
tennisee10, 22.
Mj never made a final as the only all star at 22 years old👀👀.
MJ never got swept twice in the finals
MJ was never the under dog in the finals either.
El Pinche Chabelo got swept in the first round tho ... But that's nun of my business
Lebron never lost first round in playoffs. MJ didn’t have to play a 70 win team. Also MJ had Phil Jackson as his coach. Lebron never had a God Tier coach. While MJ is the greatest in accolades and overall legacy to basketball, Lebron is arguably a better all around player compared to Jordan. Lebron is a regular triple double threat, and was and overall better playmaker.
rell getting to the finals is a participation trophy saying you dominated your conference not the league lol .MJ won in 91 and 98 without a single all star on his roster 🌝. How many times has Lebron won a ring with no all stars? How many times has he won with a single all star ? Lebron hasn’t won a single ring without playing alongside two all stars lol
I cannot believe that the cavs front office literally put this roster together, and told this man to try and win us a title year after year🥴🥴
7:30 3 players jumped to block him
They felt bad for Curry being surrounded by many players at age 32 but they didn't felt bad for this LeBron at age 21/22, and he dealt with this kind of defense in his 1st 7 years with the Cavs.
People who know basketball don't even count this finals against lebron ,but the east was weak
@@monsieurimhim6147 if the spurs played the Cavs straight up instead of ignoring everybody else it would of been different they was playing 5 v 1

that spurs team was so damn good
The Crimson King @flopping
Spurs are a dynasty 💯
everyone forgets the 2007 spurs roster duncan parker manu bowen finley horry barry elson oberto vaughn
Duncan's leadership is the foundation that held the shelf of Spurs Championship trophies.
They should've kept painting the Larry O'Brien on the court erry finals, looks so sick. I remember playing NBA Live and putting the court settings so that the trophy would be on the hardwood
LeBron's first field goal that game was in the 3rd quarter? He would have been roasted on social media today.
Man...I’ve never seen anyone bully Bruce Bowen the LeBron did! Too bad it was one man versus an all time great dynasty. Which, was true of LeBron and some his opponents in multiple scenarios and Finals.
LeBron carried that team but the east was absolute trash that year compared to the west teams. Not a negative against LeBron because you play who ever is in front of you. That cavs team led the league in defense largely due to LeBron but was probably like the 5th best team in the league that year.
Larry Hughes missed the last 2 games, the cavs 2nd leading scorer but no one ever mentions that
true that
Lebron james is truly by himself here. 2017 cavs he got help with Love and has better teamates
They were bad, and z wasn't an all-star until Bron started feeding him.
Kyrie too
LMAO 'Lebron James vs the Spurs' not the Cavs vs the Spurs 😂😂😭
Lebrons a diva
Just proves what I feel: he's the best to ever do it, because he's the only one who threatens everyone's favorite players. Jordan and Kobe stans have spent damn near 20 years setting unrealistic expectations for Lebron, because if they don't diminish his achievements he starts to look pretty damn unique. Steve Kerr won with Jordan and beat Lebron, and HE says that him and Jordan stand alone.
The poor poor pooooor lebron 😭
No hate for LeBron just the bronesexuals cause there so annoying

After this series my mans should’ve skated on Cleveland. Just terrible no help!
Lebron shot 35.6% for the series. It’s no wonder they got swept 😂
Bruce Bowens had a tough assignment guarding James.
Bron found a way to make the 2 games in Cleveland close, this was a painful Finals but still so much fun.
I remember Larry Hughes was injured & missed Games 3 & 4!! He was missed & could've won at least 1 or 2 games because they lost by 3 in Game 3 & Game 4 lost by 1 but it was at the the buzzer..
Yep and in games 1 and 2 he was still injured, if he was healthy cavs win atleast 2 games seeing as game 3 and 4 were close
How did he get this cavs team to the finals . I’m amazed
Any mediocre team has business making the Finals if they play two 0.500 teams and the Pistons without Ben Wallace to make the Finals.
@@mikisuroj4912 exactly
Same on 2017-2018 NBA finals against GSW
MIKI SUROJ of course in retrospect you can say that the pistons were trash without Wallace, but in 2007, they were a 1st seed, the defending champs Heat had got swept by the bulls in the 1st round and the pistons beat the bulls in the 2nd round. So No one thought of the cavs as a actual challenger and Bron took them to 7, and won The conference on the fuckin road at 21 years old. Come on man, how can you possibly hate?
robert mccormick Daniel Gibson dropped 31 points in game 6 against the Pistons. LeBron was 3-14 from the field for 19 points.

Rewatching this made me realize how much Bowen flopped when guarding LeBron
LeBron got beat by the same big 3 in 2007 and 7 years later in 2014. Now the big 3 are all retired, Spurs are at the bottom but got a promising center, and LeBron is nearing retirement.
A young Lebron with prime Shaq and alright role players would of got a crap ton of rings.
this team wasnt bad defensively. Lebron was 3/14 in game 6 against the pistons and the cavs won by 18

7:55 LeBron sees the play develop before it happened
They criticize him for losing this finals but looking back LeBron had to carry the entire team. He's the point, shooting guard, rebounder, shot blocker, and coach... having to go against 3 Hall of Famers and a legendary coach. This is like Mike taking the Bulls to the finals, years before Scottie Pippen arrived
I tried to tell Cleveland's coach "hey coach guy, if you don't start Scot Pollard you're gonna get swept."
Honestly, more defense was being played here compared to the recent NBA finals.
LBJ the GOAT 🐐🔥💯
The Cavs had a nice defense and they were keeping it close, but their offense was basically just LeBron
That duo of Lebron and Ilgauskas. They almost have it. Spurs are just a too strong Super Team Led by Duncan, Ginobili and Parker. While Cleveland ain't a super team
Where can I find the full games to this series?

Crazy how they swarmed Lebron. Multiple defenders every time he touched the rock.

He should've played better against the Spurs and he could've had at least one win. Even Deron Williams played much better against the Spurs in 2007 WCF.
This why he’s the goat
Even though they said the east was weak, he took his team to finals when he was only 22 years old, and that team's starting 5 was Ilgauskas, Gooden, Lebron, Hughes, Eric Snow. The rest of his teammates were Delonte West, Sasha Pavlovic, Varejao, Gibson and etc. Jordan got to his first finals at the age of 28. He played against a weaker team in the finals. His team had one 4x All Defensive, and one HOF + 10x All Defensive team player. Who was Lebron's best teammate when he took that team to the finals at the age of 22? It was Ilgauskas. Who did he play against? He played against a team that had 2 hall of famers, + Tony Parker, Robert Horry, Bruce Bowen. I'm an 80/90s kid and Jordan was my hero. But this guy is more than just a hero, this guy is the mixture of all the basketball gods combined in one body. Between Jordan's first 3peat and second 3peat, he chose to rest for a year and a half. When he came back his team had 4 Hall of famers in total, including him.
Jordan played against 3 HoFers in his first finals. Same as Lebron
Jordan played Ewing Oakley Starks Barkley Bol IT Dumars Rodman And the rest of the bad boy Pistons en route to the finals. LeBron shot 35% from the field in the series
