This guy only has 200 subs and is averaging the views of a dude with 100k + subs. Good stuff bro, keep grinding
Thank you bro, you just made my day with this comment 💯
@@DaGeekStarit’s impressive I wish I can have that much views on my videos but you gave me hope and motivation
@@jaysouthmusic8230 You got this bro!!
2009 was his athletic peak 2018 was his most skilled peak to me
2013 athletic peak
@@wimpyguy5519 i disagree
Sorry sir, you don't reach your physical peak until 33-36 y.o......
@@TheTVcoach you athletically peak in your late 20s early 30s
@@TheTVcoach that’s a huge lie everyone body isn’t the same
2018 playoff bron is the best BB player i've ever seen.
Facts
💯🔥💯🙌🏼
Nah bro I watched that entire run live… bron was finally taking isolation shots & not being scared… it was amazing but it was a result of weak competition & nothing to lose mentality. We saw bron become conservative in the finals when the stakes became real 😢
Fax
@@MrDiMES123 51 points in game 1 isnt really conservative tho
I totally agree with you on 2009 and 2018 being his two best individual runs. I might add 2015, imagine if he had won. I think if were talking from a purely individual performance viewpoint 2009 was his best performance. He was putting up ridiculous numbers in an era where the average pace was like 85-90 + the 2000s defence. Thats why he had a 37 PER the entire run he was producing so much at such a low pace with limited spacing. However 2018 may be better because he managed to make the finals because his performance had a greater impact on winning. For example sweeping that 60 win raptors and beating the celtics in games 6 and 7 without his second best player Love whereas in 2009 his insane performances couldnt translate to win in the orlando series
Highest PER in NBA playoff and regular season history by a lot too.
2009 more impressive… that low scoring era and still able to put those numbers is incredible
@@AATWT11 With minimum 5 games. Hakeem 1988 had a PER of 39 in the first round. He lost in 4.
I hate that people judge how well you played by if you won or lost. For instance Chris Bosh scores 0 in a finals game and his team still wins. Jordan scores 60 vs Celtics and loses. Would you really say Bosh had a better game??! Of course not so Lebron having some of the greatest numbers in playoff history should not be discredited win or loss
The thing is, they glorify MJ even when he loses. That's the whole reason we even know about that 63pt game, even tho he got swept. Hardly anyone mentions LeBron going for 40 in game4 last year. All while in his 20th season.
It's only LeBron that they have that double standard for.
@@NewWorldDreams47 L TAKE. That 63 points is still a record that still hasn't been broken, last year's 40 was miniscule in comparison. MJ was so good that series that Larry Legend called him God! In gym shorts and he did it with no help. World of difference baba
@@joykenn9772 he LOST! LeBron ALSO has the record for oldest player to drop 40 in the Playoffs. You literally just proved my point about how JDRs will glorify MJ LOSING, but won't keep that same energy for LeBron.
@@NewWorldDreams47 63 and 40 are not the same. Both lost, one performed better. L TAKE once again
2018 bron was a real life superhero
Unfortunately his finals performance after game 1 was disappointing
@@MrDiMES123 against a fucking warriors superteam when he was a one man show, the fuck do u expect?
2009 was not is true peak. 2013 was hit absolute best he ever was.
Just because he has worse teammates doesnt make him better. 2013 he was still an athletic freak, he was smarter, he knew how to win, he was lethal from 3, AND consistent... and with lethal running mates his court vision was the best yet for him. he absolutely made it crystal clear who the best player by miles was in the entire world.
In terms of clicking on all cylinders,
2013
2018
2009
2012
2010 are his 5 best years.
Agreed
He's looking at it strictly from numbers point of view
2015 and 2016 are also up there ngl
2009 was he was a top 3 fastest player in the league at 6’9
2018 was Lebron at the Zenith of his physical abilities.
That was 2009. If you mean offensive skill I agree
2009 (vertical jump , speed , athleticism), 2013(power , strength, weight) , 2018 (only shooting & IQ peak)
People give Dwight Howard credit for 09 upset and rightfully so but throughout that 09 ECF Hedo, Michael Pietrus, Rashard Lewis and Rafer Alston were shooting out of their minds. Same thing happened in 2011 when Terry and JJ Barea went ape sh!t crazy. And in 2014 finals, Bellineli, Danny Green and Diaw went nuts. Then in 2015, Iggy shot weay above his 3Pt%. Role players and decent players randomly shooting way above their percentages and knocking down some outrageous clutch shots has been a massive story in Bron's legacy but no one talks about it.
Cuz Jordan fans rewriting history like Bron ain't have no competition
@@mattjones8016 a lebron fan talking about rewriting history, ironic😂😂😂
08-09 lebron was something else
Wasn't expecting the Fighterz OST lol
2016 finals is greatest playoff series version
2018 was greatest entire playoff run version as he was clutch and experienced and also still physically able to guard at elite level
2016 was the greatest finals performance ive ever seen. No one can name a better one
I vividly remember 2018, I watched every game of the Raptors and Celtics series, and went back to watch the round 1 games I missed
Damn shame how the finals turned out but it was the 2018 warriors, nobody was beating them in a finals
He lost in 2009 and swept in 2018 KD Warriors. Individually 2018 he was a monster. Unfortunately he lost both of those playoff runs. Still #2 ALL TIME GOAT. Let’s win this game tonight man bring it back our city Los Angeles
Lol
Aye you got dope ass videos bro, glad I’m here early to see it all unfold 🔥
Thank you I appreciate it bro💯
Bro this analysis is top notch keep it out really entertaining the way u describe and analyse what lebron has been able to do so much
We also have to keep in mind that bron was averaging 35 9 7 in the entire playoffs in the 2000s! An era known to be low scoring and low efficacy and 0 spacing. 0 spacing and all the defensive attention wasnt even done by anyone on the offensive end in the 2000s besides maybe shaq who was considered to be arguably the goat peak to put how great lebron was in perspective. With all that being said i think that makes 2009 lebron more impressive. Averaging 39 8 8 on a great defensive team and on the 4x dpoy who is one of the best rim protectors of all time with 0 spacing shouldnt be humanly possible if you think about it and doesnt make sense at all. 2018 Lebron was also amazing but at least he had some type of spacing so he can operate the offense with less pressure. Also 2009 lebron was a monster defensively and even in the playoffs and even finished 2nd in dpoy which no one even talks about
Very nice video. Great job
Do y’all forget abt 2013 when he was the heat
great video my guy
Great vid!
Too big…
Too strong…
Too fast!
too flop
@@bokjrincanada7891cry some more 😂😂😂
@@d-rosejames4553 lol flop more
Too racist
Too illiterate
Too cowardice
Too Egotistical
That d rose
If I need to choose one player to play for me to save my life, I would choose 2018 Bron over anyone in the history of NBA. That man was a basketball God in that 2018 playoffs
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY LEBRON RAN FROM BOSTON AND ORLANDO TO TEAM UP WHIT 3 HOF IN MIAMI D WADE,CHRIS BOSH AND RAY ALLEN?
Game 6 ECF vs Celtics 2012. That game was an elimination game for Miami. How is no one talking about this. W/o that incredible game LeBron had it would’ve been OKC vs Boston.
The LeBron this Playoffs was brutal to watch.
What about his 2007 playoff run? I know was one of if not his first playoff run, but he made it to the finals that year. Pretty impressive right?
2016 was his best combo imo
Both chosen one to frozen one. 2012 breakout year was his best even though it was against baby okc.
fun fact 2018 lebron has the highest offensive peak in the playoffs history, generating the most points EVER in a postseason 👀
Dude the fact that people say lebron not a scorer or have killer instincts need to go look at the Toronto raptors 2018 playoffs and reconsider 😂😂😂that man was cooking the raptors 😂 he was named lebronto for a reason
2018 was the most complete had a decent jumper and still had his athleticism
Check the matchup 7:19 If only Dwight had lost that series We all could have watched Kobe vs Lebron and the best part is that LAL was gonna win. WCF was way tougher back then than today's standards, while the ECF was soft.
Kobe winning over Lebron in the 2009 finals back then was gonna be a different narrative.
2013 bron no doubt
bully ost love it
shit i thought i was the only who clocked
Certainly Not 2024 thats forsure😂😂
what about 2007? by far his most underrated run yet, he took down 2 50+ win teams with his garbage roster. But he did play bad in the finals
2007 playoff run?
I remember kyrie ducked going to game seven because he knew exactly what lebron was about to do. 2018 for me was peak Lebron.
2018
KO8E BRYANT WON THE 2009 FINALS WHY BEEN IN THE HARDER WESTERN CONFERENCE
That was depressing reliving those playoffs… during both of the actual playoff runs, I thought LeBron could win it all by himself… boy was I naive
And they said he ain’t clutch 😂😂😂😂
Basketball is about athleticism and skill the matchup nowadays are freaks vs skillers
Good riddance of LeBalco James and two seasons of insane free throw disparity.
Refs tried their best.
The nuggets did it, hell yeah.
Now the next scapegoat is Darvin Ham.
2024
2018 bron was invincible and the best player ever no position just lebron and 4 other guys
Great video bro really enjoyed it :) #LeGOAT
2012 heat n 2013
2009 could beat peak Jordan 4-3.
U are insane
@@user-po2yt9pc4lin 09 LeBron put up the best all time playoff PER in nba playoff history by a comfortable margin, he also leads in a bunch of other advanced metrics throughout the 09 playoffs it's definitely an argument to say that run was the greatest ever by any individual player
The thing is Paul Pierce went head 2 head vs that Bron out played him twice in 2008 & 2010. And Kobe also did the same in isolation getting the better of bron.
lil imagine having 21 yrs.in nba and just got 2 best play.haha
Wtf are u taking about. I hate when ignorant people can't articulate their bs.
@@spiceedre8017 lol nah, simple math
And people say Lebron sucks
Can anyone explain who exactly "Playoff Bron" beat in 2018? The Celtics without Kyrie and Hayward? I hope the people who're constantly praising this dude at least get paid for it.
Didn't have a great roster and should of never made the finals but because of him and help from his team mates they made it
pippen > leroid james
Lebron >> Jordick
Pippen wasn’t that good lil bro
Thank you for mentioning young bron ! Forget the numbers for a second and watch him play basketball .. 2006 to like 14 or 15 lebron impacted every play while he was in the game on offense and defense .. older lebron learned how to manipulate stats to make it seem like he impacted every play but he wasn’t and he still has no impact on winning til this day even tho his numbers are insane in my opinion
2009 His his playoff peak but 12-14 Miami bron clears 2018 Bron. 2018 Bron so overrated. 2017 is a better year and even 2020 arguably
None😂😂😂
The best run was when he folded like a beach chair against Dallas in the 4th quarter of the finals in 3 straight games with 16 points a game average. Oh guarded by a bench player 😂 Schooled him.
Lakers' best player is no longer LeBron but AD's.
Man u need to stop it. Stop smoking that shit is killing it brain cells
Both trash in defense
Nah not 2009
Ddnt he lose in both runs 😂
not the point of the video hater
People keep making excuses for this man failure over 21 yrs he had all star all defender on his first stretch and he pick his team since 2010 playing le g.m and upper management of clutch sports
If winning 4 championships as the best player on his team was a failure, all NBA players who won less championships as his team's best player would be massive failures.
Colluding cheating manipulating the entire basketball system he should have Robert Horry type of fingers full of rings
This guy is the specialist of failing
And you specialize what?
Jordick is the specialist of being carried by his team 6 times
07 for me he had less help but still made the finals
