@@JeezyWay listen man I’m very confident. Kai has shown numerous times he needs Bron to win another championship. Bron got the most out of him and he was the smartest high IQ player that Kai ever played w in his career
@@LeGoatJames111 tbh bron is prolly the highest iq player in nba history he uplifts everyone’s game but i see your points bro i love kyries game i hope we see him deep in the playoffs every year championships are elusive for everyone
People always talk about how exciting the Splash brothers were to watch. They never talk about Kyrie and LeBron. To me, these two showcased the greatest combination of all eras.
No offense but that's likely because you let the ms media shape your opinion with their bs narratives because anyone that was actually watching and is a fan of the game saw this immediately
communication is key especially at the highest level. I remember someone saying Kobe would talk to Pau in Spanish during their finals runs and that alone was a barrier in itself
@@ApolloPOV i completely agree and what Kobe and Pau did was an amazing advantage!! I wonder if it was harder if there was a Spanish opponent on the other team haha
LeBron's team-first mentality, allowing the hot hand to dictate the action in clutch moments because he understands Kyrie sees something. Didn't know Kyrie was a coach on the floor way back then. He was actually trying to get Kawhi off LeBron and create a mismatch, but Danny Green was a tough wing defender, too. If he'd have given LBJ an inch on that sizeup, the defense would have collapsed and Boris wouldn't have been there for the Ky three, which he was thinking about when he ISO'd LeBron in the first place.
@@demitricrawford6141 i honestly would have if i could find full game footage i scoured the entire internet and couldn’t find much full game it was a lot of TH-cam videos haha but same here man that duo was nasty
Absolutely adore the slo breakdown into playing the clip back, so sick to watch it unfold in real time immediately after processing it. Much love dude!
That golden state team was too good though. They had two of the top 15 players to ever play the game on the same team. Had a great rebounder and defender. An all time great shooter. Then Iggy and Livingston coming off the bench… that team was too good and deep. Sorry but Kevin love was not very useful. JR is too streaky. Tristan Thompson is outclassed. Literally a two man team with the cavs.
on that first play, San Antonio played great defense. Diao switched perfectly and stayed with Kyrie, contested the shot, Kyrie was not open, but Kyrie is just too damn good.
ay bruh i gotta give u luv on the video! nice chill coffee and a j vibes rn hit different! i fw the music seletion, chill melo content i look forward to exploring more so keep grinding bro 💯
Cs lebron a top sellout / lummanati member and Kyrie turned into the complete opposite. I believe that’s really the reason. And Lebron easily top 2 best ever if not number 1 I’m just being real
As a Cavs fan, Love unfortunately has a peg below LeBron and Kyrie in terms of running the team, but he finally settled into a comfortable role with him being able to be more open thanks to his friendship with Jefferson and Frye, which I fully believed helped him get over the fact LeBron and Kyrie often did their own things together, while Love was isolated from their plans. If you remember in 2015, RJ and Channing weren't on the Cavs, and Love reportedly didn't enjoy the 1st year.
@@Phoenix-pm2qr Those are valid points I honestly never saw it like that, I always wished they involved kevin more, but honestly I think that playstyle he learned elongated his career he was an insane talent with the rebounds, but it was not sustainable
This the dumbest comment I seen all week . How he destroyed his career immensely and he still in the league an js got to the finals ? Still all star every year,? One of the best in the league? You a drama queen bro. You smoking 🍆 if u think him and bron win 4-5 rings.
@@JeezyWayI don't think he ruined his career, but the West is so stacked both defensively and offensively, that the Mavs' offensive dominant team won't be able to thrive unless their defense improves.
Facts! the IQ plays a huge role its honestly a big game of chess the athleticism is always around the same level some higher than others but IQ is what separates them!
Thr communication between LeBron and Kyrie was crazy. However, as a Cavs fan, I always felt Love wasn't used as much, and this cider kinda shows Bron and Kyrie didn't theirnown thing and Love always had to find a way to fit into what they were doing.
That's a great way of looking at it, most of the strategies have been around for a while, it is really just about personnel and IQ of the players on the team
This is why i cant take people serious who say he held Kyrie back. He let kyrie lead often and maximized him the best he could. And kyrie was great enough to execute. Both were important
I absolutely watched Kyrie unlock his full greatness with Lebron. It felt like there were 2 floor generals who saw everything. They would've won more together. No doubt.
If Kyrie didn't force his way out of Cleveland, they still lose vs the KD warriors in 18, but with injuries in 19, Cavs win another ring... and it is VERY likely they also get at least another championship between 2020 - 2024. Dan Gilbert, the Cavs owner, had zero issues spending as much money as needed to have a great team
I could definitely see that happening I think the way they played every night showed how insane that team was they could play against anyone that warriors team was just insane
I wish we had mics on the floor so we can hear what the actual players are saying instead of some of these announcers. The game would be a lot more immersive. I don't need to hear a narrator telling me someone hit a three or stole the ball, I would love to hear the trash talking.
Everybody understands Lebrons IQ is high based on what they DO understand about the game. The stuff the common fans miss is what makes LeBrons IQ incredible. There really is levels.
Nba is entertainment first because I hate seeing a switch on a soft screen Screens b so soft the screener don't even touch the player n yet the defenders switch like the opponent is driving the ball hard That switch 0:43 secs is prime example

It’s not even taking a back seat it’s leading in other ways while kyrie focuses on scoring
He took a back seat when the time was right. He knew they weren't going to win without Kyrie being himself.
