Lebron's basketball career is truly colorful. There are a lot of stories to tell. - Entered NBA as an 18 year old kid - brought Cleveland to the Finals - Left Cleveland - Became a Champion in Miami - Went back to Cleveland - Gave Cleveland its 1st Championship - Joined the Lakers to test the West - Got another Championship - Became NBA All-Time Leading Scorer - First NBA Player to play with his son - Still plays great to this day Wow!!!!
Each switch, he brought a team from buns to champs in 2 years each time. And yes, Miami was not good at the time. They were barely a first round exit team at best. Lakers and Cavs were downright terrible tho
It wasn't about him leaving it was the way he left and cleveland loves lebron if u watched cavs games when he came back ud know. He'll have a statue in cleveland one day. Booing is apart of sports and clevelanders are die hard sports fans
They should think long and hard before doing a docu. LOL Suspect ROTY(check Carmelo stats and team in playoffs), a history of choking, quitting, superteams, a lot of finals losses, legacy saving big shots from teammates, roids allegations, and a sprinkle of nepotism.
I swear I mention his ho3 azz all the time, he ignored him in the 1st game back then I remember the 2016 championship locker room celebration Mo next to Lebron "man we did it dawg! Ah man bro we here bro we made it bro!" I have that image etched in my head cause I just remember both things SO VIVIDLY!! Mo doing that HS shit of bumping past someone you know you don't like hoping he'll say something? Then boom he carries your azz to a championship and you best friends again huh? I haven't liked Mo SINCE I swear!
Yep, everyone in that organization and city was winning off LeBron being there, except LeBron and the front office was fine with it because they were making their money and not having to spend anything to bring players to help but then get mad that he wants to leave after 7 years of the bullshit 😂
It’s really just the whole “he’s from Ohio” “born and raised” drafted to NBA team Ohio has. They expected him to be there forever like Duncan, Kobe, and Dirk. (Not saying those guys are from the state in which the team drafted them)
@jkj03_ i completely agree with you, I just feel like at the fork in the road, the Cavs chose the wrong direction. If they had gone out to actually build a squad around him to win, i feel like he would've never left but he gave them 7 years, and they really shit the bed.
What? I think Cleveland was consistently a 1 or 2 seed in the weak east during the 2000s. He just choked against Dwight as the overall 1 seed and MVP, 2010, he downright quit on his team in that shameful playoff series against the Celtics before bolting. You blame front office for that? What more does he want? yeah, he wanted 2 of the top 10 players in the league on his team with one arguably being a top 5 in Dwyane Wade.
Larry Bird said it best. "We're not trading for anybody from the Cavs. I promise you they're not as good as they look when they play with LeBron." He was carrying average teammates. At the time, I was pissed when he left. Now i understand it. Still my 🐐 👑.
@@ElJefeHodges-nc3mu yea he makes players look so good that he has to keep trading teammates because he always needs more help and it's not enough....the guy had wade bosh miller Haslem Chalmers and said it wasn't enough...lebron needs more than any other player in history to be successful and runs when things get tough
bron's ability to filter out noise is unreal. the pressure this man had to carry on his first return to quicken loans and game 6 vs the Cs is something only bron could've overcome.
He’s been the most pampered player in the NBA… he’s been the most protected & privileged. They have done everything for him his whole career and even helped him Win Championships… why would anybody feel bad for him? The fact that the NBA would let a team sign Three Superstars tells u everything… he broke the NBA, if any other player or team tried that? They’re would have been zero chance they would have ever let that happen… it was rare that tbe NBA even let two Superstars play together! (And the East already had no competition at all especially if the 2nd best Eastern team was a Celtics team with a roster full of 40yr olds 😂)
@@siner2442 get out of here. Pampered? He was NEVER pampered by the league. He received so much criticisms despite his individual accolades when he got a ring to represent it and when he started getting one ring after another - the league started getting noisier to do everything they could to run the agenda of him not being one of the greats. Miss me with that privilege shit.
And in hindsight there wasn't any real reason for any of it. It's just some guy playing sport living his own life lol. Went back and got them a championship and they shut up. Bizarre behavior.

Wasted prime years if lebrons career, 19-23 ain’t prime lol Bron didn’t stay long enough to give them a chance. He has a character flaw that he needs all the help to get it done
Phenomenal compilation and editing. This depicted the emotion from a league and fan standpoint exceptionally well. Glad that the perspective was presented on both sides. That being said, Lebron paved the way for athletes to strive free agency to win. Represent themselves as a brand. Lebron at that time was the biggest brand that just happened to have the biggest hate and immaturity that the league had at that time. He shouldn’t have done the decision the way he did, but he didn’t know better at the time and what that situation would yield at that time. He was just a kid.
Ppl think one player is suppose to stay losing when they are giving their all while the others lag around because they know the fans aren’t really cheering for them. Which is crazy when it’s a team sport.
LeBron, if he had stayed with the Cavs, he would've been over paid but wouldn't have won a championship and would still be hated for taking huge money to stay with a team that wouldn't been able to build a viable team around him. Carmelo Anthony stayed with the Knicks but was criticized for taking the money but never winning. I remember watching that game, and it was surreal the hatred for LeBron the Cavs fans had for him.
Man stories like this is why I laugh when y’all discredit LeBron.. he’s been through it all in this league and has been EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL.. can’t deny his greatness he just had 3 straight triple doubles at 39. I don’t understand the hate lol. I was born in the 90s and seen a lot of ball. He’s the greatest.
@HungarianDerrickRose I was born in 76.Jordan couldn't win nothing without Scottie Pippen.Tell me that's not facts.Lebron is a better ball player than jordan ever was and I used to love the bulls but I knew Scottie changed everything
@@HungarianDerrickRosewe don’t care you boomer MJ stats was Bloated and played against plumbers and electricians u was probly in the league gettin ya ass busses by him too huh
he quit on the cavs, left saying he couldn't get anyone to go to Cleveland, formed a superteam, then came back to the place he previously left even though he couldn't get free agents to come? So which is it? Can't believe anything the guy says, all we can go off is his actions and he's a coward.
@@limitedbom2206 he’s accomplished more than you , your kids , and their kids could ever so if he’s a coward you’re nothing …like a piece of hair on the floor
@@jaykeem0 I half agree with you bro the 2nd part fully, and while I would've agreed with the 1st part I disagree because Dan Gilbert smh the way that man acted like his best slave/workhorse ran away showed his colors and what he looked at Lebron as. Not a man, but his property that he doesn't get to own anymore, and the ish he said I damn near would've wanted to throw hands with him if I was Bron damn sure wouldn't have forgiven him. To put that aside and return 4yrs later and fulfill his promise? That's a hoop decision but it showed who Lebron is as a man as well. I mean they burned effigies of the man they acted as though he was the antichrist, and still forgave em and went back.
Lebron handled the situation with incredible maturity, despite the poor way the Decision was broadcasted. The fans should have celebrated his return and given him a gracious homecoming. Look at the Cleveland roster at that time: Sessions, Mo Williams, Dixon, Gibson, Varejao. All these players were role players at best, and past their primes. People are crazy.
The hate Lebron got for "The Decision" was a total overreaction. Lebron had fully honored his contract, which made him a Free Agent. So he was no longer a Cavaliers player when he announced his decision to take his talents to South Beach. He didn't owe Dan Gilbert or Cavs fans anything at that point, despite what they felt they were entitled to. Their anger against Lebron was never justified. That's why I never sympathized with Gilbert and Cavs fans. I knew they were full of s**t. But the media fed into their ridiculous "jilted lover rage" routine for the sake of ratings.
Texans played that night vs Philly. It was a big big game for us to keep our season alive. I literally turned the channel just to watch THIS. The most intense regular season game I've ever watched on tv.
And people talk about Lebron not being feared… the reason for all this hate don’t you realise that comes from fear. People hate things they really fear. He goes back and smashes them regardless of that environment. GOAT
It hurt Cleveland because that’s the hometown team. He grew up in Akron. Lots of these people supported him in middle school and high school. This was in 2010 so he was just in high school 7 years prior. They felt abandoned, but they didn’t understand that he had outgrown them. When he announced his return to Cleveland that’s when they finally understood his plan. He couldn’t reach his full potential here, let him go, let him grow, and he’ll bring back the fruits of his labor🏆
I remember watching this game on TNT. The tv can only do so much to describe how loud the boos were. Those fans should've booed Dan Gilber cuz that Cavs team wasn't ready to compete for a title. Can't win with just Mo Williams and Lebron. So glad Miami won that day
The jumper from Lebron in front of Cleveland's bench was the final nail in the coffin for that game. Then the smiling to the bench while running back on defense was the cherry on top. It's like Lebron was saying, "I've been in Cleveland for 7yrs. I know where to go on this court. You really think you can stop me?"
@@Weezy10580 of course he left them with nothing because LeBron was everything and gave them everything he even put them in position to rebuild for his comeback 6 years later 🐐
Being from Cleveland and still here , I’m happy I was only 8 when he left and was not a basketball fan until he came back 🙏🏽 still my 🐐 and my generation still roots for him out here
In fairness.... for a guy that was basically a homegrowm player, to leave the way he did, making it a media spectacle and leading fans on in that way... he shared in the blame for making that night what it was. I won't excuse the vulgarity of some fans, but the way he went about his return, and delivering on his promise to break the drought and doing it in such a legendary way... the axe has long since been buried.
Nah bro.. call a spade a spade it’s no sharing blame. Doing any person like this is inexcusable and unnecessary. If they wrong say that and don’t justify it trying to spread the blame 🤔😑
He was young and made a mistake televising it. However his interview afterwards and his performance was mature and class. He was an adult in a stadium full of children.
Perfectly put. He was not a victim like people try to paint the narrative now. HE chose to leave in a spectacle, the fans just took it a step further. Coming back to win a chip made everything right at the end of the day.

LeBron, if he had stayed with the Cavs, he would've been over paid but wouldn't have won a championship and would still be hated for taking huge money to stay with a team that wouldn't been able to build a viable team around him. Carmelo Anthony stayed with the Knicks but was criticized for taking the money but never winning. I remember watching that game, and it was surreal the hatred for LeBron the Cavs fans had for him.
Man stories like this is why I laugh when y’all discredit LeBron.. he’s been through it all in this league and has been EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL.. can’t deny his greatness he just had 3 straight triple doubles at 39. I don’t understand the hate lol. I was born in the 90s and seen a lot of ball. He’s the greatest.
i was born in the 60s and saw both MJ and Lebron play. Your fake GOAT is MJ's ballboy at max.
@HungarianDerrickRose I was born in 76.Jordan couldn't win nothing without Scottie Pippen.Tell me that's not facts.Lebron is a better ball player than jordan ever was and I used to love the bulls but I knew Scottie changed everything
Stop youre a fake fan@@doylefrye1547
4 straight now brother ✌️
@@HungarianDerrickRosewe don’t care you boomer MJ stats was Bloated and played against plumbers and electricians u was probly in the league gettin ya ass busses by him too huh
Gave them 7 years of amazingness if that’s even a word and they still hated him😂
he quit on the cavs, left saying he couldn't get anyone to go to Cleveland, formed a superteam, then came back to the place he previously left even though he couldn't get free agents to come? So which is it? Can't believe anything the guy says, all we can go off is his actions and he's a coward.
@@limitedbom2206and what are u?
@@kayla2082 what do you mean? A human? A ohioan?
@@limitedbom2206 good for u that coward accomplished more in life than u or ur kids could ever
@@limitedbom2206 he’s accomplished more than you , your kids , and their kids could ever so if he’s a coward you’re nothing …like a piece of hair on the floor
2 or 3 years later it still had a fan that wasn't mad about his favorite player leaving the team
All that crying till he brought them that ring.
Incredible video! Definitely nostalgic
Someone trying to take an officers gun is CRAZZZZYYYYY!
Can’t compare anyone else in nba history to this man. Nobody received more hate than this man and it’s just a testament to his greatness.
Imagine burning a Lebron jersey at that time, can’t get that memorabilia back 😂
Wilding 😂
Who cares😂 f that guy
@@Find.list.ship66you clicked on a video about him you idiot
Weird lol
I watched that game from home and that atmosphere carried through the television screen. It was unreal.
4:35 mo Williams is a nut job for that
great video man. you really set the mood and organized the clips correctly. good job.
lol Cleveland never deserved lebron 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hella salty 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didn’t deserve him but he back tho , so what u saying 😂
@@Koc216 he showed how much of a man he is. What u did?
@@interlude1360 hoop decisions dont make a man. What they do off the court/field does and lebron is the goat when it comes to that
@interlude1360 nothing much just an Army vet laid it in the line for something bigger than me ,, yea so not much
@@jaykeem0
I half agree with you bro the 2nd part fully, and while I would've agreed with the 1st part I disagree because Dan Gilbert smh the way that man acted like his best slave/workhorse ran away showed his colors and what he looked at Lebron as. Not a man, but his property that he doesn't get to own anymore, and the ish he said I damn near would've wanted to throw hands with him if I was Bron damn sure wouldn't have forgiven him. To put that aside and return 4yrs later and fulfill his promise? That's a hoop decision but it showed who Lebron is as a man as well.
I mean they burned effigies of the man they acted as though he was the antichrist, and still forgave em and went back.
This is a secret base level video, really impressed by how well put together it is
I watched this game on live TV
Millions of other people did too. “I watched this live” is still a thing?
Omg did you?! 😒 who the fuck cares
@@Fakename70 of course it is. Because there are billions who didn't see it live
And the boos were echoing through the tv…I’ve never heard an NBA so loud on tv.
Liked for the video credits. Respect
Lebron handled the situation with incredible maturity, despite the poor way the Decision was broadcasted. The fans should have celebrated his return and given him a gracious homecoming. Look at the Cleveland roster at that time: Sessions, Mo Williams, Dixon, Gibson, Varejao. All these players were role players at best, and past their primes. People are crazy.
This man literally has 4 hall of fame careers.
That's unheard of.
Alot of Cleveland fans were like Little fickle toddlers! 😭 😂But as soon as he came back, they were on his
🥜s again! Cringe
I've been looking for this
The only takeaway here to me is that he new the NBA better than most and wanted to take it over from the get
Lebron should’ve trash talked the hell out of the Cavs team. ”Y’all trash, this is why I left y’all bums.”
He couldn't he had so much love for Cavs that came back and gave them the Championship
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lebron has class unlike u... What was saying that gonna do?
@@CJayG37 calm down lil bro, its not that serious, crawl back into the little man cave you crawled up from
He just focused on the game. What a matured way to respond to hate and boos?
The hate Lebron got for "The Decision" was a total overreaction. Lebron had fully honored his contract, which made him a Free Agent. So he was no longer a Cavaliers player when he announced his decision to take his talents to South Beach. He didn't owe Dan Gilbert or Cavs fans anything at that point, despite what they felt they were entitled to. Their anger against Lebron was never justified. That's why I never sympathized with Gilbert and Cavs fans. I knew they were full of s**t. But the media fed into their ridiculous "jilted lover rage" routine for the sake of ratings.
Texans played that night vs Philly. It was a big big game for us to keep our season alive. I literally turned the channel just to watch THIS. The most intense regular season game I've ever watched on tv.
For NBA, that was something crazy for sure.. Nothing like this has been seen before.
Meanwhile in Europe:
Regular Tuesday.
After all that booing he came back and won them NBA championship 🏆 the 🐐🐐🐐🐐
And people talk about Lebron not being feared… the reason for all this hate don’t you realise that comes from fear. People hate things they really fear. He goes back and smashes them regardless of that environment. GOAT
So true it’s because we are the gods in flesh living they need vessels to harness
It hurt Cleveland because that’s the hometown team. He grew up in Akron. Lots of these people supported him in middle school and high school. This was in 2010 so he was just in high school 7 years prior. They felt abandoned, but they didn’t understand that he had outgrown them. When he announced his return to Cleveland that’s when they finally understood his plan. He couldn’t reach his full potential here, let him go, let him grow, and he’ll bring back the fruits of his labor🏆
I remember watching this game on TNT. The tv can only do so much to describe how loud the boos were. Those fans should've booed Dan Gilber cuz that Cavs team wasn't ready to compete for a title. Can't win with just Mo Williams and Lebron. So glad Miami won that day
Good to see you back Nick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Funniest part of this is Miami spanked Cleveland which is what they fucking deserved for treating Bron that way. 😂
The jumper from Lebron in front of Cleveland's bench was the final nail in the coffin for that game. Then the smiling to the bench while running back on defense was the cherry on top. It's like Lebron was saying, "I've been in Cleveland for 7yrs. I know where to go on this court. You really think you can stop me?"
Yeah because he left them with nothing clown
@@Weezy10580 of course he left them with nothing because LeBron was everything and gave them everything he even put them in position to rebuild for his comeback 6 years later 🐐
You just know shit finna be Fire fr when you see a full list of credits in a YT sports Vid🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥GREAT WORK! & CONTEXT..keep it up
CLE fans dont want to accept how irrelevant their team without Lebron lols. what a poor team
I love how the interview feed quality made it seem like it was from 1995 when it was 14 years ago
Every man to his own delight. Who is you to tell a man what to do with his life... this is a sports deal with it!
dope video...gotta new subscriber here
lebron is too calm in all situations
Yoo the lebron documentary gunna be the greatest thing ever 💯💯🔥
Scariest thing about that game was hoping it wasn't a crazy crazy fan in there with a sniper
😂😂😂😂yea okay bud drink your milk and go to bed
@@jamaarisquare979he’s not wrong! This was nasty as hell
Being from Cleveland and still here , I’m happy I was only 8 when he left and was not a basketball fan until he came back 🙏🏽 still my 🐐 and my generation still roots for him out here
N thats y he is the GOAT...everyone loved Mike which makes it easy...The adversity LBJ went through...he made his haters..
The Goat. Still getting tripple doubles at 30 years
8:19 palpable negative aura is crazy.
The fact bro came back and won a chip for Cleveland...one of the moments that solidified his greatness.
I promise you when Bron Documentary comes out, there will be no more questions about who the GOAT is 💯💯
F all that… Having your face printed to be peed on is NEXT LEVEL goat ish! 😂😂😂
Yeah the pple in Cleveland acting like total idiots. Bunch of ungrateful pple. A lot of it was racism period
Ah yes. The old racism card again 😂 stfu lame
Shen you hear organ in the background you know shit’s serious lmao. Great content!
Yall gunna miss lebron. Yes, even the haters
No. No we won’t. This team we have now is better😂
@@Find.list.ship66you gon cry like a bitch
The maturity from Bron at this time was incredible!
Lol LeBron wasn't from Cleveland. but Akron we stood by him from whatever he wanted to do.
So what! It’s still Ohio.
40 min away. Come on man. Bron was always up here at our game and parties. He didn't party in Akron
40 minutes away basically the same thing
Good video
In fairness.... for a guy that was basically a homegrowm player, to leave the way he did, making it a media spectacle and leading fans on in that way... he shared in the blame for making that night what it was. I won't excuse the vulgarity of some fans, but the way he went about his return, and delivering on his promise to break the drought and doing it in such a legendary way... the axe has long since been buried.
No justifying these action in no way
Nah bro.. call a spade a spade it’s no sharing blame. Doing any person like this is inexcusable and unnecessary. If they wrong say that and don’t justify it trying to spread the blame 🤔😑
No excuse for that fan behavior.
He was young and made a mistake televising it. However his interview afterwards and his performance was mature and class. He was an adult in a stadium full of children.
Perfectly put. He was not a victim like people try to paint the narrative now. HE chose to leave in a spectacle, the fans just took it a step further. Coming back to win a chip made everything right at the end of the day.
In a public light to for his entire life damn near too. I never knew how much I respected this dude until now. Wow what a gladiator
