- If there’s one small smudge on the LeBron James' legacy, one moment he’d like to do over, it has to be The Decision, the unprecedented and much-maligned TV special in which James broke the news of his move to Miami - and, in the process, earned himself a whole lot of flak.

Changed the landscape of the NBA forever. Especially the 2010's era. Heat Bron was a beast.
That intro was nicely edited! Great video overall
The TV special was a terrible idea. His advisors really dropped the ball there.
1. It was a PR disaster. But...LeBron raised a ton of money for charity with it.
2. Dan Gilbert was the real villian.
The Cavs never really built the team around LeBron to compete for a championship in his first tenure in Cleveland. It wasn't until after winning 2 rings with the Heat and LeBron deciding to come back to Cleveland that the Cavs actually started getting serious about putting talent around him, which eventually led to the Cavs winning the 2016 Finals. Unfortunately the Cavs would eventually lose LeBron again to the Lakers a couple years after their Finals win
@@dionwilliams8161 Exactly.
I was living in Poland at the time... It made the (next day's) evening news.
Ring chasing...
Like KD
Can you blame him? His rival for best player at that time Kobe got a prime Gasol. Celtics formed a big 3. And what did LeBron get in 7 years in Cleveland, a 40 year old Shaq? If I were him I would have left sooner, the cavs did nothing to support him.
What is funny about the decision is espn’s reaction. It was preceded by TWENTY-FOUR hours of lebron coverage. After the overwhelming negative response. They acted as if they had nothing to do with it. In subsequent look backs and documentaries, they don’t even mention the special aired on THEIR network.
Thanks to this, we got the Dan Gilbert comic sans letter to LeBron.
Boston Celtics EFFECTS 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅
I wish I could be LeBron James just for a day. Give me one day where everybody is a yes man and you have all the money and time you want
The decision was the best thing lebron ever did.
I really wish bron wouldve joined kobe and lakers.
If I'm gonna be honest here, the more I see this shit the more and more I get pissed at the 2009 Orlando Magic. The Cavs could've aimed for the jugular there, yes, but those fuckers robbed us of a potential juggernaut matchup of Prime LeBron and Prime Kobe. And what did they give us? *ONE WIN* and then getting their asses kicked six ways to Sunday. Frankly, that just showed there's now way in hell the NBA IS actually rigged- if they seriously did, LeBron would've shitstomped everyone THAT YEAR ALONE.
lol if watched the games the nba is actually trying their best to get lebum to the finals that year. The magic is just too good
Really lebron first few years cavs team was notoriously bad pretty sure kobe would still have won
You should be pissed by the Cavs for not able to win against a team that can only get 1 win from the Lakers.
It really wouldn't matter he was gonna lose to Kobe anyway in 08-09 finals Kobe just came off a finals L and wanted to win that 4th ring 💍 badly and he did that Lakers still would of won in 5 maybe 6 but Lakers was winning against whoever that season 👌👌👌
The most accomplished player in Franchise and THE REGION'S HISTORY!"
Anyone who saw Jim Brown play would like a word with you, dawg..By leaving,TWICE, he is not even the most beloved local to play for his hometown Cleveland team, Bernie Kosar holds that honor. Only reason Bernie left was Hoodie hated him. Fans there were excited like no other that January when Kosar won a Superbowl with Dallas of all teams the most hated team in the NFL. When Lebron won in Miami I don't think anyone in Cleveland was thrilled for him.
They played into that villian thing well
Its the flops and the wimpy complaining for me.
Foh yall on the payroll too i see
it doesnt matter because he went 2 out of 2
2 out of 3 actually
LeBBC
He is amazing. But he's a TOOL.
LeBron leaving CLE in 2010 was the equivalent of a superior soldier going through SEAL hell week, having superior abilities to most people, leaving a training exercise and ringing the give up bell. You're still an amazing member of the service.. But you can't be called a SEAL.
bro wtf are you talking about??
Multiple Olympic medals... Yup 'cause LBJ has a bronze
He has 3 golds as well lol..
The Warriors traded Poole +1FR +1 2nd round pick for CP3 then waived him later.🎉😂 So inspirational.
classic bill simmons
Change the nba to the shit show it is now.
If he didn't make it a spectacle, he wouldn't have been that villain. But he made a weak move like what KD did
Not even close to what KD did. Wtf?
@@pitongus KD joined the team that beat him in the WCF then became champions. Lebron joined a Heat team that were Champions already. Same ring chaising move
@@retz79 That Heat team was years removed from the title and the roster was completely different.
@@retz79lol what a clueless casual. The heat won in 2006 but then didn't even win a series from 07-10 😂😂 LeBron was losing to the celtics big 3 (08, 10) so he made his own big 3 to beat them. KD joined GS in 2016, right after they made the finals, won 73 games, KOd his bitch ass and won a ring in 2015. LeBron called his friends to help beat up his enemy. KD joined his enemy to beat up his friends. 2 totally different situations.
COZ HE'S SOFT
Jordan >>>> James
you high?
Freakk
Jonah, a large percentage of what you said was unmitigated garbage.
You from Cleveland, homes?
@@Birenball Denver, CO born and raised.
@@pittland44 So what's your beef, then? Lol
@@Birenball I have issues with Lebron ever since he started faking injuries (basically every off-season he claims he's going to have to get surgery on something right after they lose) and faked a hate crime against himself to evade criticism for the Cavs getting swept by the Warriors.
@@pittland44 How does any of that make what I said garbage?
Rise or another fall for Charlotte Hornets new ERA & new owners you're next video theScore 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
