Yep 2017 Lebron as well. It’s like he found the perfect playing weight where he could play bully ball and still be fluid with his movements. I think those two years are his physical prime. He wasn’t as explosive as late 2000s version of himself but he was still athletic af, very lean, and much more in control of his body. It was amazing to see.
This was lebron at his pinnacle of skill and still had great athleticism. The fact he brought this cavs team to a finals is insane. Only had one double digit scorer. Had 8 40+ point games with triple doubles along with 2 game winners. Had 51 in the finals and is only 1 of 6 players to do so but is the only one that lost while dropping 50+. That sums up lebrons career pretty much.
34 9 and 9 for the playoffs. Bro damn near averaged a 35 point triple double for a whole post season run and carried his team past two 50 wins teams in his conference and faced the greatest team ever. I don’t care if he didn’t win a ring this year, he overachieved on every level this year. I feel like winning is over valued sometimes because that’s heavily reliant on what roster you have. Individually this version of Lebron is right up there with anyone else’s peak.
Your opinion is dumb. Clearly the best LeBron is 2012-13, when he stopped taking threes as much and shot 57% from the floor. That 26.8 points he averaged sounds like nothing until you realize KD led the NBA at 27.7. But the difference will ALWAYS be that Heat LeBron was an all-NBA, lock down everybody, chasedown anybody defender, and this version of LeBon was when he really started to take plays off, so it can't be the best version--plus he didn't win the chip.
@@ninjachannel007 this version was taking defensive plays off because he was carrying the team. Something he hadn’t done since 2010. Second run Lebron controlled the game on a whole different level compared to Miami lebron. Miami Lebron was better in terms of defense but offensively,controlling the game, reading sets and react accordingly, ways to score, he was WAY better than he was in Miami. Even coaches like Steve Kerr said lebron was already top 5 by 2015 and from then on skill wise he improved tremendously. Just go watch how he plays offensively, Miami he was a tank and played in transition and in the post a lot. This version of Lebron was doing EVERYTHING offensively.
@@cyberbron2024 Exactly. When LeBron was in Miami, he could afford to play tough defense on every possession because he played off ball a lot more and some of his Heat teammates like Wade and Chalmers would share the primary ball handling load. Plus, he was younger and probably in his physical prime and had more energy. When he got back to Cleveland in 2014, he was back to being the main ball handler and having to guide and carry the offense again and he was older now and couldn't expend all his energy on both ends of the floor.
I'm taking 2013 LeBron because he'll do all the stuff this guy had to do (because he was on a lesser team) and he'll actually lock the 2018 version of himself down, while the 2018 version will play defense every other possession.
11-12 was better idk why people are so stuck on the 2013 lebron but his whole campaign the year before was better. Averaged more points , playoff run had multiple all time lebron games and had a better finals as against OKC as well, idk where this consensus comes from with 2013 lebron he's had better years . 2013 was his best squad though.
@@folkscrazyouthere3076 the best version of LeBron will always be a debate. That man has evolved his game and just gotten better over time while declining athletically. He is just too elite to analyze as a player, because he doesn't have only 1 or 2 styles of play.
2009 Bron was his best at athleticism 2012 - 2014 Bron was best at overall But 2016 - 2018 Bron was the most complete at any aspect of his craft in basketball
Wrong. 2012-14 LBJ was a better post player, deep shooter, and much better defender. He was already complete. 2016-18 just leaned more on skill and IQ.
@@ninjachannel007 he was better shooting wise because of his shot selection. He was much more selective with his jump shooting plus he played a lot more in transition and of course driving the ball is his go to offensively. This version of Lebron skill wise was way better offensively and the degree of shots he was taking was much harder, specifically his jump shooting and he still had good percentages. I agree he was better in the post and defensively but offensively he was on a different planet post 2016 in Cleveland.
Lebron James in 2107-2018 was like the complete player; didn’t miss a game, can score everywhere on the floor, playmaking was still elite, and figuratively carried his team to the finals. Still kind of tight he didn’t win MVP this year
Yeah he deserve it this year. Harden had cp3 and a much deeper squad. Lebron was putting up 28 9 and 9 with role players and still got them to 50 wins.
I could have easily watched another hour of this season! Make sure you’re on the production team for whoever gets the LeBron career documentary! It’s going to be EPIC! I’m gonna take a PTO day and binge watch it! 💯
2018 Bron was literally Thanos, he carried a way below average team to the finals, he just ran into the Avengers in the finals, this was arguably the best version of himself👑
I’ll never forget this season so many analyst didn’t think the cavs were going to be much that year different lineup like every game the wade and bron team up Isaiah Thomas was also on that team before the trade even tho they lost the finals they definitely overachieved everyone said the pacers would take the cavs out round one Victor Oladipo was amazing that season unfortunately his team went out in seven games then Toronto the team everyone said the cavs didn’t stand a chance against the raptors who at the time finished 1st in their conference cavs swept them then to Celtics who at the time were the only team to have a roster capable to take down golden-state Warriors with new edition of Kevin Durant I can’t lie myself I didn’t think the cavs were going to make it out that series, Boston was incredible that season it’s crazy to think Jason Tatum was only a rookie brown in year two at one point of the series Boston had the series lead on the cavs at 2-0 people were already bringing out the brooms for the sweep but then LeBron displayed IMO his best series of his career the man just refused to loose a amazing series and playoff run
I love how the goats always have that defining year late in their careers to stamp their greatness although we know/knew how cold they are/were. Kareem in 86, Magic in 91, Jordan in 98 and 02, Kobe in 13, Lebron in 18, KD and CP3 in 21..So 🔥🔥 to see
On more than half of these baskets, he took contact. For those who call him a flopper, forget about it. Contact to the shooter is a foul. He’s just too strong to be knocked off line. Blend of Webber, Dominique, Magic.
Quick comment for LeBron fans. One important trait J has maintained throughout his career is being humble. J's alpha mentality his first 4-5 years were never about stats or status. The so called HOF cab drivers he played against admitted he was the real fu*king deal. Once again he hadn't won a ring yet. Ten years and six rings later his game and peers admitted the obvious. J knew where he stood but never felt the need to say it publicly unlike the scoring leader.
one day we will all miss him playing, when he retires, the best player of all time for me, I lived and watched basketball in his era. I will really miss him very much
@@armandodelossantos736no he didn’t LeBron played all 82 games, harden played 72 games stop the cap lebron had more points, rebounds, & assist than harden in total that season not average in points but total due to lebron playing all 82 games Stop making shit up lebron had him beat in everything.
@@Juice_lamar you're right I'm confusing seasons. But either way, LeBron still was not even close to the greatest anything at that point. There are at least 10 other better seasons played by better players
What?! Buddy you're joking right? LeBron has never had a 200+ steals season or a 100+ blocks season in all 21 seasons he's played, how is he the most complete anything?
The best blend of skill and athleticism out of all of Bron's seasons that I've ever watched.
2018 Bron is my favorite, idk why there's just something satisfying about how LeBron moved and shoot that season.
Yep 2017 Lebron as well. It’s like he found the perfect playing weight where he could play bully ball and still be fluid with his movements. I think those two years are his physical prime.

@@cyberbron2024yes, this is the perfect way to describe that version of LeBron, great mix of athleticism and fluidity.
he had ZERO chill when he went full action mode, ultra concentration!
He seemed to be in a zone all season. It's just too bad he ran into a team that his Cavs squad was no match for in the Finals.
2018 James harden better than 2018 bron
