That whole arena was straight quiet 🤣
2018 Lebron is like a mythical beast, you just hadda be there to believe it
Fr.
🐐
he isn't as skilled now as he was here. this was his skill level at his absolute apex. brute force power and speed with excellent skill and touch and finesse.
It looks more insane by the year.
Even more than his 2007 alien performances
Exactly bro!
This Lebron in these playoffs was the best version of him to me.. if he faces any team other than stacked Warriors he gets a ring and probably would’ve stayed longer in Cleveland if he won more.. he something different foreal
if kd not snake king james have already 7rings

2012 playoffs and 2018 playoffs are the best version of himself
This and the first time they lost to the warriors in 2015
If I say it was quiet in that arena. It was so quiet you wouldn't even know a game was being played. Bron was killing it.

Valanciunas bench reactions are definitely an overlooked classic of Lebronto.
You knew it was over when he leaned back on that high fadeaway.
Even him on the floor, he has those little expression. It's crazy 😂. It's like energy is taken away from his body every time he had to inbound the ball after each of Bron's basket.

@@ChromeBone23 That was the big piece too, iconic.
Legendary commentary that night by him.
You gotta feel bad for the raptors. I believe they were the #1 seed this season, and this was like watching Mike Tyson pistol whip a toddler.
Raptor fans were claiming all year how this Raptors team was different and how they’re gonna finally beat the Cavs just to get swept in embarrassing fashion
Lol
"Mike Tyson Pistol whip a toddler" took me out 🤣🤣
bro this happened like 5 different times, i'm the absolute opposite of a toronto fan but watching them being a higher seed and one man dismantling them was tough lol
@@Veczey and I'm pretty sure the raptors won what like 61 games this season and still lost lol
2018 Bron is the best version on LeBron. Maybe not athletically but in terms of his IQ, is ability to dominate in the post, being able to shoot both from the midrange and from the three he was simply incredible. Had his team not have to face arguably the greatest team ever, he was for sure going to win a championship that year IMO.
Lebron was so good in his second stint with the Cavs it took losing three of his teammates, and then 2 MVPs and a DPOY to beat him outright. Jordan or Kobe with the same squad wouldn't have won a single game against any version of the Warriors.

The Lebronto Raptors 🦖👑
In 10-20 years I wouldn’t even be able to explain how insane this man was that year 🤦🏾♂️🥶 Like you just had to be there 😮💨
Greatest run I've ever seen during my lifetime. 2018 LeBron, was just on a different level, from the entire league. This brotha willed his team, to playoff wins over three much better teams (including a sweep of the number 1 seeded Raptors, shown in this video). I believe this was the manifestation, of what the brotha learned from previous championship runs. He now knew how to impose his will on teams, allah, Micahel, Kobe, Magic, and Larry used to do. His mentality, finally caught up to his supreme god gifted athleticism. He learned that sometimes making the best "basketball play", isn't swinging it to the open man for the clean jumpshot. Sometimes, it's me being in the zone, and consistently attacking the defense, if they continously choose not to double me. So glad I was alive and old enough, to witness the King at his best.
Kobe 2001 run was CRAZY
2011 Dirk, 2019 Kawhi, 2021 Giannis, cmon bro. Bron lost in the finals this year
Good description, couldn’t have said it better myself
@@officialconch come on conch the only reason he really lost is because kd was there. warriors was stacked. this an old lebron. 4 years of cavs in finals. if kd stayed elsewhere it would likely have been 2-2 for both teams. 2016 bron had kyrie. atleast in 18 he showed he was the diamond in the rough
@@boratwilson9916 The KD Warriors didn’t win 73 games. They almost lost to Houston in the playoffs twice. They were beatable
Back for my yearly re-watch of this Masterpiece 🔥
monthly 😅😂
you and me both brother.. ritual
Same bro!
I watch this clip on mute. The old guy announcer is simply terrible
This 2018 playoffs was the greatest playoff performance I’ve ever seen from an individual player. Lebron was ridiculously in the zone. It’s a shame he didn’t have more help in the finals.
Idc what anyone says. If they took Game 1 vs GSW if it weren’t for Smith’s mistake, they would’ve won the finals
@@antoninicolas1916 yes. KD and Steph were watching in awe. They were psychologically vested by the third quarter.
@@antoninicolas1916 you think LeBron would have put up 50 every game?
@@antoninicolas1916 No way. LeBron gave all he had in that game and even if the Cavs had squeaked it out, it was really obvious he didn't have enough help against that stacked Warrior squad. At best, the Cavs might have taken 1 more game and lost in 6, but that was their ceiling in that series.
1992 Jordan was still better.
1. Michael Jordan - 759 points, 1992 🏆
2. LeBron James - 748 points, 2018
3. Kawhi Leonard - 732 points, 2019 🏆
Averaged 34-9-9 over that playoffs with a steal and a block. Basically wrecked the entire Eastern Conference by his lonesome.

@@traviskock78 obviously no
I watched this live on TV. I have never felt so defeated as a Raptors fan as during this stretch right here. Lebron hit insane fadeaways again and again and again at will.
bro i’m a mavs fan and i felt totally defeated just watching this series. i’ve never seen a player dominate a series like that ever in my life.
It’s like he was playing on rookie mode. everybody knew lebron was gonna get the ball and score whenever and however he wanted. crazy shit fadeaway after fadeaway like they were layups. crazy
Why didnt tjey double team him. Dwayne casey isndumb
@@assadbarakzai5921 Double teaming Lebron is the last thing you want to do. He'll find the open man across the court and dime it over two people every single time. The best you can do is let bron shoot and hope he misses. When he's hot, you're donezo.
@@assadbarakzai5921man had 13 assist that's why lol he was killing them every way he could
To be fair no one in the NBA was stopping him in that kind of rhythm. There was absolutely nothing to be done but hope he misses.
this series here shows it all its not about rings , it’s not about scoring titles, or accomplishments. the raptors won 59 GAMES this year. and lebron james with no second star. swept them. it’s unbelievable. kobe nor jordan is sweeping this team let alone win with this lineup. don’t underestimate what he is doing. he’s slowing the game down to where the game is literally possession for possession. he’s picking there defense apart at his own will. he’s rebounding and also playing defense. the opposing team had no idea how to stop him when lebron is playing 3-4 plays ahead of you. i’m sorry jordan never did this as he was only tasked with scoring while not even playing his own level on competition. he was ahead of his time so i can’t fault him. but lebron in 2018 was masterclass. the goat debate isn’t close. it’s lebron by miles. not mention he’s the #1 scoring now while not being a “scorer”
You know he wanted to do that spin move against every player Toronto had just so they have nightmares over it.
OG still wakes up in a cold sweat thinking abt it. Lmao
dude dismantle the whole city of toronto 😭

The most ridiculous thing is this isn’t even his best game of that playoffs.
While watching the game me and my brother kept going; "he is possessed by Kobe tonight." Boy, when The King's jumper is going in for him seemingly at will he's every bit of the player MJ or Kobe were at their peak.
Yet another comparison
Bro, hes been better than kobe
aba gago umeenglish ka rito Samuel ah HAHAHAHAHAHA
LeBron is better than peak Kobe in his sleep bruh
Kobe ain't shooting insane jumpers like this at this high of a clip. Lebron's efficiency and ability to do anything Kobe can do and more puts him above Kobe.
This was Lebron’s peak. The 2018 playoffs was Lebron at his absolute best. He still had “in a league of his own” explosiveness, utilized his body and strength better than ever, and his jumpshot was in absolute peak form. I’m glad to see other people on here who actually recognize that. I’ve always thought that this was Lebron at his absolute best. Nobody acknowledges it because he ended getting swept in the Finals. That’s probably the biggest thing KD going to the Warriors stole from us… Lebron’s magnum opus. After game 1 in the Finals, I truly believe Lebron realized that him playing at his absolute best still gave them absolutely no margin for error. He totally didn’t play with the same swagger in the rest of the Finals. That jumper that was with him through that entire playoff run disappeared.
its not even his peak he was 34 yrs old at this time ... his just so good ...
@@jhunapostol5080 Dude… this was his peak. Maybe not athletically, but it absolutely was his peak as far as the totality of his game is concerned. 2012-13 Lebron was his peak in the regular season. 2017-18 Lebron was his playoff peak.
@@landonsmith3595 yeah but its still same stats when he was in his 30s so this means that he is the goat
This makes me even more mad at KD😂
@@landonsmith3595 he's not done playing yet :)
Lebron looked so freaking powerful that he could have walked on water if he wished during 2018 playoffs👑
Jonas Valančiūnas reaction from the bench at 3:24 and 4:02 to Lebron’s demolition of an entire country are priceless.
Everyone in that entire building knew the series was over from that point onwards. Hitting those six fadeaways wasn't just 12 points; it was a reminder that Toronto simply cannot defeat LeBron, no matter what they try.
Just like lebron said “just because its 2 points, doesnt mean its worth 2 points.” Those spinning fadeaways over constant switches are so fuckin demoralizing because no matter who you switch on him, he makes an absurdly difficult shot over them. Knowing that not only you cant guard him, he will shoot fades like prime kobe over anyone and make them all like its the pre game warmup. Super tilting.
Toronto:
Lebronto: have you ever seen a fadeaway?
th-cam.com/video/WK7lIjFsGvg/w-d-xo.html they’ve seen one
Whenever people say lebron cant win without stacked teams or his teams always stacked please look at his 2018 playoff highlights… unfortunately in the finals faced the most stacked team in history WARRIORS
Just envious comments by haters...
Anybody who has lived through this is a true Raptor fan man🤣🤣🤣
These years were brutal on them.
#Facts 💀
It's just sad to see and other fans were saying DeMar DeRozan was the problem the whole time
They literally won the championship next season. And thats because the warriors were missing their most important players
17 too
2018 LBJ is greatest of all time, no one can change my mind!! He is the complete package! I think this year is LBJ's greatest peak of any basketball player ever.
It’s still crazy to me that they didn’t double team bron
why would you double team the best passer in the game?
@@bendrowned3305 why would live with the best player taking a game over offensively. I would rather get beat from brons teammate than bron himself
@@demarwilliams6449 good point
Lebron is going to get his numbers, but you can't let the supporting cast get their buckets. Love dropped over 30... That is unacceptable.
@@killakode1 lol they were doubling lebron throughout this game which is why he had 14 assists (at the time it was a playoff career high for assists). Then they went single coverage and lebron dominated with fadeaways. One of the most demoralizing games ever for a lebron opponent 😂
I don't care that he got swept in the finals this postseason run was the greatest by any player ever
I agree 100%
If JR did not do that stupid move then who knows
The crowd reaction at 6:57 💀
Tearing up Toronto!
Literally a mixture of awe and agony😂
2018 lebron was just a different beast man. I remember being a junior and witnessing this mans greatness the regular season and then just the playoffs were insane truly one of the greatest to ever play.
Hubbie Brown is like all of us watching, “Ahhh c’mon now haha”
🤣🤣
This is why kd and curry came together. They couldn’t face lebron head to head
The crowd makes it really hit home. You can hear him ripping their hearts out.
This is why the eye test is the most important thing when determining a player’s greatness. A lot of players match this statsheet today, but not in such a devastating way like this
“Lebron James tearing up Toronto “ you mean Lebronto sir
I was there in the arena watching with my dad and this dude was just torching us this game. As a raptors fan I hated it but because Bron is my favourite player of all time I was loving it later on after. Invaluable moment for me.
If you didn't watch the 2018 Lebron you missed something truly special...and somehow it's still one of his most underrated seasons..just goes to show how people take him for granted because he was great from day one. Literally from his very first career game and still goin strong 20 years later
Some Jordan fanboy on the Maximillion711 said LeBrons game isnt polished. Fucking hilarious.
I watch this like once a month
My all-time favorite LeBron performance.
4:45
Backdown, rip-through, jab-step, jab-step, ball fake, fadeaway to the corner over the defender with clock expiring. Goddamn. He just gave OG crazy work in that one sequence alone.
My bad. Siakam
LeBron is got the jumper going he’s the greatest of all time by far hitting the jumpers by high percentage
You do know that’s a myth right, lebron always had a consistent jumpshot he just doesn’t take them as much this *lebrons jumpshot is going tonight* is all the media

ive watch this 100x and still looking at valenciunas reaction (in the bench) when lebron is hitting all of that jump shots 🤣
This game needed the legendary commentary of mike Breen
Yeah the commentators were trying their best but weren’t really matching the energy of what was happening
@@millerws12 they were probably Toronto fans.
@@lucyfir2166 no they’re the type of announcers that are kind of a fan of every team, or they don’t show any bias
Hell no, Mark Jones's insane commentary is one of the reasons Lebronto is a thing (if not THE, obviously, considering he not only delivered and elevated the line itself from just a funny line that NBA fans came up with to a whole TV piece but he also was the only one with the attitude to do it).
And that's without even counting all the classic and perfect lines, especially the ones for the long fadeaways twos barrage.
Kevin Harlan though would've been the obvious add (on top of 2018 Cavs Raptors Mark Jones) if one really wants to make it even better.
Mark Jones is great as well. He has flavor when he says “Lebron took out his do it yourself kit”. Also he hits you with “Lebron said weight room”. When he said “LEBRONTO” that became a classic.
This is the greatest version of LeBron offensively, his bag was the deepest it’s ever been with his playmaking at the highest level. Hitting every jump shots and fade away with the ease of a layup. Multiple game winners in the playoffs while tearing through the East! The misfortune of having to face the most stacked team of all time in the KD Warriors is a real tradegy, but nonetheless a playoff run to be cemented in the history books!
*The GOAT King James* 🐐👑
When he’s hitting his jump shot he is clear and away the past player to ever play, simply unstoppable can get it from anywhere on the court
Wait this is the same game?! Kidding saw it live. Very good lebron performance. Maybe in his top 50 playoff games.. he scored 28 straight
Against champion pistons as a young 20 something with game tying shot then game winning shot, and that might not be his greatest ever
The deafening death of DeMar DeRozan… undoubtedly a beast version of an Elite LeBron performance that playoffs. I swear he was 1 decent teammate away from a chip. Heck I’ll even be bold and say that had JR not messed that game up, he was on par to win again without any decent help. Regardless, what a legendary performance.
Wait you’re not serious right. This team was not going to beat that warriors team with or without JF smiths help. Let’s not do that. It sounds good but we saw how the series ended up.
I think he could have forced a game 6-7 if JR hadn't ruined everything. I mean, if LeBron gets to game 7, I ain't pickin NOBODY else
@@spikespiegel323 That was my point, that Cavs team wasn’t trash and he literally had them beat until that combo blunder by Hill missing the free throws, JR doing that thing, and lastly the damned coach Lue not calling a timeout when they had 1 left. Sadly it was all too much for cerebral LeBron who was visibly upset, emotionally let that sequence get to him, and he let that game slip away in OT. This is a stacked Warriors team, undoubtedly the beast team ever assembled in my mind… and you have LeBron who was expected to do everything including coach. That’s a whole lotta drainage. At the end inside reports say that he punched a wall after the game in the locker room, and damaged his right arm almost like a metacarpal fracture, further dooming and sealing his fate. It was a bitter ending to what was an incredible turn around he took mid season from feeling betrayed by the Cavs organization in the Kyrie blunder, and almost not playing nor caring to that entire rest of the season where we saw superhuman qualities. I swear that was his best season ever in terms of sheer drive and quality play.
This coming year might be another, as he might just have enough support all around for him to break loose. Either way, stop misinterpreting and stop hating.
Peace
@@gedionsamuel2256 hating ? Okay I see you’re one of those people. Disagreement equals hating got you. Enjoy your day!!
@@spikespiegel323 what you’re missing is that the loss demoralized him.
If there’s one thing I’ve seen from Bron is that he doesn’t give it his all when he knows he stands no chance. Losing game 1 told him that. Had they won that game. I believe he could’ve given them 2 of the next 3.
Then after that. They just have to split games 5 and 6 and you’ve got yourself a career defining game 7.
I’ll never forget the ass whooping he gave Toronto that year.
I watched every minute of Cavs basketball since 2014. This was honestly the highest level of individual basketball I have ever watched live. I am to be 30 yold and am a Wade fan but what LBJ did to the Pacers, Celtics, Raptors and even Game 1 in Oracle… dominance on all levels.
Jordan can't even do this. I can understand why Bron is tired of being disrespected. No matter what he does it'll never be enough for some people. Whether you wanna pick Russell, Kareem or Jordan based off accomplishments, then so be it. But let's not act like this man isn't by far the most talented player to ever play basketball. He's for sure the best to do it
THIS
What? MJ dropped 60 in a playoff game, LeBron can't do that
@Skinny Timmy that's because just scoring a lot isn't always conducive to winning the game. Lebron first scored 56 in his second year, if he wanted he'd have gone for 60 in a playoff game but that becomes ballhogging and ignoring teammates at a certain point.
@@navonmyhand7999 Jordan averaged 33 8 and 8 while having less usg% rate than Lebron in 1989. Back then, teams were averaging 99pts a game. Today’s statpadding era averages around 113ppg.
Stop it
His whole 2018 playoff run is Goated.
Might not b the best ever to some people, but that is the greatest we ever seen a player play. The ease. The difficult shots and not being surprised he hit. The playoffs. On road. Must win game 2 for the best home team in the NBA. Like a game that's on the easiest setting... The game is not supposed to b that easy at that level in the playoffs
You speaking facts but if only people understand
I think a lot of people don’t realize that Lebron always has his midrange jump shot if you watch him plays since he was young. He just doesn’t always use it cuz I think he knows it’s not enough to win a championship. He likes to get his teammates ready for playoffs during regular season with different plays and tactics. I think that’s why there are critics that don’t think he’s clutch.
Midrange is the perfect shot for him. The demand for three is so high now that sometimes he doesn't even attempt a midrange shot. Still an extremely important weapon to have in his arsenal.
thats cap, every time he needs a clutch shot he either forces a charge layup or a deep step back 3.. if he eally trusted his mid range he would use it in the clutch
@chadwellington2524 it seems like he does seeing as how he has the most clutch shots ever and the most playoff buzzer beaters ever. Seems he's doing just fine
This is probably the best overall version of LeBron, Miami Bron was his prime but 2nd stint CLE Bron was probably close to the perfect player
"He (Bron) *silenced a whole damn country by himself."*
Stephen A. Smith in the post-game 😅😳
This game is like a "calmer" version of his 2012 game 6 performance vs Boston
As a die hard Raptors fan. This was such a heartbreaking series. But this Lebron was the greatest player that has ever touched the hardwood. Just a complete player, the frame and the IQ of someone who could see through time. I’m happy that we get to see this player in our lifetime. GREATNESS.
JUST LOOKING BACK ON THIS CAVS TEAM ITS STILL CRAZY LEBRON CARRIED THIS TEAM TO THE FINALS

3 years and a lot of miles later. Just not reasonable to expect him to do this again for an entire series.
@@spikespiegel323 ppl dont realize he got damn near ran to the ground in 2018. Bro played 82 games that year too. Plus lebron didnt have a major injury at that point.

Possible next season if he stay out of injuries. His 2020 form is quite close, just less leap than 2018.

How to say you don't watch basketball without saying you don't watch basketball
Really that’s what they should’ve done from the jump. His teammates were terrible that year, make them the scorer and not him
@@dreamshakegaming they literally cant double team james all the time cause he'll just pass it to an open man, the whole cavs team was on fire this game kevin, jr, green and Korver will always be a threat behind the arc 🤷
Dwane Casey isn't known for his adjustments
I come back to this quite often
These fadeaways are filthy.
Is it really a coincidence that the release of Avengers Infinity War and this version of LeBron happened in the same year?
LeThanos was inevitable 😈
Raptors are Endgame Champs
Bron was like the night king here on the 2018 playoffs, the night was long for the pacers, raptors and celtics. He basically slayed everyone in the way, no defense was enough to stop him, but just like any other villian, he was defeated at the end. But damn, his run to the finals was insane and incomparable..
"Tell them, LeBron James still rules the east..."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I appreciate this video.. thank you
Watching this live was awesome
This the same man who made THAT organization get RID of their Star player (DeRozan) and their Coach of the Year (Dwayne Casey) right after sweeping the floor with them (4-0). Holy Moly that's a criminal!!!
Whoever the play-by-play announcer was running out of adjectives, metaphors and similes to describe what he was seeing 😂🐐
This was Mark Jones I think, but yeah, I come back to this video for the metaphors and similies lmao
Can’t stop watching this
This is the best lbj. And as far as i remember. He played 82 games in that year ( season ) and he played all tru playoffs.
When he made that game 3 game winner i was tearing up
Lebron in the 2017 & 18 playoffs over 40 games averaged 33.5/9.5/8.5/1.6/1.2 but because he lost to the most overpowered team of all time he somehow failed. What other player could have done more? He was unreal and he did everything and it wasn't close to being enough.
Yup, the ignorant casuals and haters love to say "Le3-6" as if losing to the most stacked team of all time does not factor in. A team that had the best and most lopsized odds in the history of Las Vegas betting. But nope, that doesn't matter to them.
@@J.A.Z-TheMortal dosen't matter that he might've had the worst team of all time and he managed to drag a group of innocent bystanders to the NBA finals through his sheer ability and passing.
I come back to watch this video every week
LeBrontooooooo
