Facts
Its just funny how these are the same people that rode LeBron's nuts when he came back. Human nature at its finest.
Look i wasn't mad when he left but do y'all see who this man had on his team besides mo Williams and jamison who the fuck did we have
Yeah it was interesting. Cavs fan here. I feel I’m reasonable person. I myself rooted hard against him. That Dallas series changed my mind a bit. I loved the mavs winning. But he seemed more human. He was trying to be a villain which he is not. When he came back the feelings against him were long gone before. I try not to be a hypocrite. But us cavs fans remember the news. People hanging out around his house. Dancing in the streets it was a circus. Than he won one for Ohio. I definitely had no ill feelings when he went to Hollywood. He deserved it. Not sure how u would handle it mamba. But I’d say I’m a good example of being honest and aware
@@mrcommonsense9074 I would say most cavs fans are self aware that it didn't need to make sense. I too cheered for the mavaliers that year😂 but man did 2016 feel like a dream.
Haha what happened to Lebron never wining a championship
They literally burned the man's jersey then brought a new one lol
The fact he could be that calm while having that kind of visceral hate being thrown towards him is insane. That man really is not normal

@BraN - kobe top 2. Better than lebron you fool
@Umb O kings can invade other kingdoms lol can't fix something that is so far gone
@@Apexssb lmao lebron have 4 fmvps to kobe's 2, lebron have 4 mvps to kobe's 1 and lebron's 16 all-nbas (13 1st team) to kobe's 15 (11 first team). The only thing kobe is better is in ball hog.
@Umb O that's because the cavs before lebron leave didn't have players like kukoc,rodman,steve kerr,ron harper,scottie pippen, and a legendary coach phil jackson. U oldheads need to accept the fact that lebron face tougher teams than MJ's, MJ maybe is better but bruh, imagine facing a warriors superteam (2 mvps, a 2-way guard who can erupt 60 anytime and a dpoy with a coach that has been with phil jackson and coach pop), maybe your argument is "2011 mAvS dEstRoyEd hIm" I mean yea he did choked in that series, but that mavs team ain't joke 😂 that team won against defending champs lakers and okc big 3
@Umb O the guy you said that will never be mentioned with same breath as MJ and kobe did infact: -Won a 3-1 deficit in the finals -Lead a team in the finals with no all-stars in his team -The only player that leads both teams in finals averages -Number 1 playoffs career points -Number 3 in career points and the only guy who could possibly reach 40k -Still a ballin in 36 Today it's MJ>Lebron>Kobe but after his career is done, I can say that lebron is gonna be better than MJ
Little did these Cleveland fans know that James would go to Cleveland in 2014 and bring them a championship. Simply greatness from James Jones.

When I look back at this game, it's so funny how the crowd was booing LeBron every time he got the possession and he was literally answering their boos with buckets. The crowd was so emotional, that they couldn't realize that they were only adding fuel to Lebron's fire. One thing I've noticed about LeBron in his 18 years of being in the NBA, is that he's shown time and time again that he's been able to withstand so much hate and opposition from people. The man's inner resilience is his biggest weapon. Him having physical gifts is just an icing on the cake.
LMMFAO 2-6
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I think it had more to do with the fact that Cleveland was horrible in 2010-11. They lost 63 games that year.
Oh please. Same dude whining about being hunted everyday in his gated community has resilience lol😂
@@user-hy1od6by1w Yup. It's something he's shown throughout his almost 20 years in league and in life. What have you shown besides coming on KZhead with shameless jealousy?! Man up son!
so loud ... but in the end they are down for almost 30 and realized they just waste their time booing lebron !!! 😂😂😂😂😂
pumping Lebron juice ain't the solution
Their throat prob burst 🤣🤣🤣
the boos gave lebron juice
Hahahaa right.
At least they won the decibel competition lol
People really claimed that man quit and for 8 seasons he carried that team and that team not once gave him any help. They wanted him to just keep continuing to drag that team day and night.
@Michael Oberg he still did it. Lets see if durant or players in similar situations will do that, comback to the old team and win the chip
@Michael Oberg how did he quit.. he played out his contract 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
blake griffin left clippers and nobody is talking it but if lebron left.....
@Michael Oberg he made the best choice for his career duh. Just like Lebron James. He don’t have to ask permission of where he wants to go if he fulfills his contract. The “same team” narrative is goofy
@Michael Oberg he consistently brought them to the playoffs and even got that weak ass team to the finals 😂

@Umb O dude Cleveland wasn’t giving Lebron any help and I kinda understand why he left. Plus he didn’t do it like KD, that heat team was trash and missed the playoffs the season before
Let’s pretend like Kobe didn’t force his way to the Lakers.
This shit was so wild the week building up to it. I remember ESPN covered it like Lebron was gonna get shot or something. Security was through the roof and shit
Facts
@Manny Montana I wouldn’t be suprised I guarantee someone at least tried to bring in a gun
We need to ask ourselves why is it that when a player request a trade or leaves we call them traitors, quitters and everything under the sun but when the front office trades a loyal player it's just business
no fr like people have to realize that these players aren’t JUST playing to appease you or make you happy. these players have actual CAREERS and are always going to do A. what makes them happy and B. what’s better for their CAREERS. KD is a “snake” because he put himself in the BEST POSSIBLE POSITION TO WIN? right but if he stayed on the thunder (where his career was going nowhere) he wouldn’t have had the championships or finals mvps he has 🙄 all we would do is sit here n talk about what a disappointing career he had, but hey you wouldn’t really care about any of that as long as he, some guy you don’t know, “stayed loyal”. it’s one of the (if not the MOST) toxic aspect of having a parasocial relationship in which people know OF you and follow your LIFE so heavily because you’re in the public eye so much, to the point where they feel they should have some influence on your life.
Its BS. Thats why. The owners create this narrative to make it hard for players to chose this route. Lebron was defiant. He overcome this bs now player are not scared as much to leave. There are players who are scared of fans, media etc but Lebron proved he could weather the storm.
calm down princess. it's just fun and games. you cheer for your team and any other player is your enemy. any player who chooses to leave your team joins the enemy and is a traitor. any player traded away didn't have a choice and isn't a traitor. that's the game. it's not real. it's just for fun.
@@-007-2 She doesn't need to calm down, she is right because the whole thing is stupid. Fans go well beyond booing, they seriously have issues.
We live in a capitalist country. We are conditioned to have a serious problem with the labor having more power than the bosses.

Man His DOCUMENTARY WILL BE LEGENDARY
you can hate Lebron all you want but you can't deny this man has proven every doubters wrong and is deservedly so considered one of the greats
Damn I remember watching this at home. Man it was a game unlike any other in history. It’s surpasses a finals game.
I remember this like it was yesterday. Lebron cooked the cavs so effortlessly with all that hate and pressure being thrown towards him. Took it like a goat
Lost to the mavs with a super team
Loool they all came to boo and he just shut all their asses up 😂.
Yeah not that hard tho that. Cavs team is like what 65 overall on average lol
For me the funny thing about this is how lebron shut them by scoring. Everytime he got the ball they are booing them when he scores them shut their mouths
he also missed…
Miami fans remember it much differently. It’s all about perspective.
lol
Man you just had to watch this live... one of the only regular season games that was more intense than a playoff game.
Still go back to this video every year, unreal to this day. Happy thanksgiving y’all!
The way lebron handles pressure is amazing
Bron been different handles situations well ever since coming into the league in 03
He doesn't handle pressure well.... look at his finals records
@@supahMarcelo that’s not on him. 2011 is the only finals he’s ever played in where he wasn’t the best player on the court

Honestly, what was he supposed to do? Stay in cleavland? They could never put a good team together around him. Lebron’s legacy is very important to him. He couldn’t just stay in cleavland and lose year after year in the playoffs? That’s not good for his legacy.
💯 he def made a smart move
@@antoinefulgencediouf9735 its actuall arisky move . If we dig deep. Theres ateam called spurs and celtics and underted dallas and rinsing team like gs and okc. Wade must adjust cos he cant play catch and shoot whole game so they need players like mike miller and ray allen. Chris bos have to change his style to dominate long midrang .
@@lalroa5 its still a smarter move than staying in cleveland. Since cleveland was the number 1 seed every year its not like they were gonna get lottery picks.
@@trippinatormachine inknow dude its a risk
I know this has been said countless times but you gotta face the fact on why LBJ left Cleveland in ‘10, the team was ass. Cavs fans have to be proud that they even went to the playoffs, if it wasn’t for LBJ the Cavs would never have a championship
Yeah, the fans should have blaimed the team owner / GM for wasting Lebron's prime with crap teams.
Facts Kyrie by himself wasn't enough if James never went back and he would've still left
I've lived in Cleveland all my life, the problem here is like someone said above, all the owners and GM's 90% of the time are just INCAPABLE of making smart decisions, it's absolutely mind boggling. It's as if they gather and go "okay, what is the WORST decisions we can make? Do it"
People were upset because of the WAY he left. If he didn't hype it up with "The Decision" they wouldn't have been as upset. To give LeBron some credit though, he did say that if he could've done it again he would've done it differently. And he did later give them a championship. He will still easily go down as the best sports player Cleveland has ever had.
When the home arena for a poorly run NBA franchise turns into the North London derby....😂😂😂😂.
Always nice to come across NBA fans who are also football fans.

Little did Steve Kerr, who was calling this game, know he would fail at a 3 peat as a Warriors coach because of a LeBron back in a Cavs uniform a few years later. Crazy.
lets pause and bless the cavs court floor probably the best i have seen they need to bring that same logo back
I recall the second game he played in Cleveland later that season, he was booed even louder. But in the following games over the next 3 seasons things calmed down. When James went back to Cleveland they still struggled to beat Miami and James even got ejected once.

Damn, I feel old watching this
Awww.. this gone really bad, i really felt for LeBron at this moment, I can't imagine the courage he displayed here to face those hateful fans all through out the game.. good thing is he shut them down and didn't succumb to the pressure he is in. Awwww. Whatta hostile crowd! Scary.

This game was insane. Cleveland let all their anger out at Lebron for going to Miami. People knew it was going to be bad but no one thought it would be worse.
7:58 was just ridiculous, that too in front of the 'enemy' bench
Some people have literally no morals. Hate is real with it comes to this man. It's his choice, his career. It's liking staying in a toxic relationship. Why would you stay if you're not happy with HOW the why THEY'RE treating you? If the CAVS office didn't only waste his talent, then that man would stay. After all, despite all the hate, he came back and gave them ring.
I miss when LeBron would take and make mid range jumpers like that all day. It was a simpler time.
The amount of boos he got every time he got the ball, and he still made shots, wow
LeBron really didn't make any mistake with leaving Cleveland other than the way he announced it. He put up with playing for a shitty Cleveland team for years and played out his contract. He had the balls to play this game and later brought Cleveland a championship against a 73-9 Warriors team. Even if he only retires as the second best basketball player I would take that over being the best and being a total jag-off like MJ.
Look at :07-:10. Bron and Wade bouncing on the same accord. I know it's not much, but sometimes it's the little things that show you the kind of chemistry teammates have.
The saltiness in this arena tops the dead sea.
