the last play by Lebron was just so genius. He was 2 steps ahead of Paul George. Props to Paul George too, he was young but was able to go against one of the best players of all time
This was one of the most underrated matchups in the playoffs. The 66 win heat looking to repeat against a young and hungry Pacers team showing the league they can hang with the best.
@@J42274facts. The Pacers were the ONE team that actually consistently threatened the Heat for 3 straight years in the playoffs. But as you said, the heat were just the better team
Bron is just a totally different monster in the playoffs. And since players like to downplay that, these west coast players have no idea what they’re in for if this season does resume.
@@addyrogers9839 No, he wasn't. He was really good.. on a team that was already really good. Played a decimated Warriors team, won a Finals he never would've won had players not been hurt, and has been hyped through the roof ever since. But whatever.
@@farrellcityking1 you say that but the last time LeBron won was in 2016 has he not been a monster in the playoffs for 2years after that? Was he not on a different level just cause he lost 2wice. He had Kyrie and love and lost 4-1. That doesn't mean he was not a monster. Kawhi would have lost to a healthy gsw team just like LeBron lost against them for 2 straight years. Kawhi had the 3rd most points in the playoffs last year. Averaged 30 for the whole playoffs on almost 50-40-90 clip. Y'all just hating..on kawhi cause he will challenge LeBron in the playoffs.
farrellcityking1 kawhi was on a team that’s already good ? Are you smoking crack ? The raptors are an average team without kawhi. Spicy p was the 2nd best player and he wasn’t even considered an all star yet. You sound like a butthurt bron fan.
I feel like PG would be much more elite right now if it wasn't for the gruesome injury.. But still huge props for him for bouncing back from such serious injury. RESPECT
@@reggiepierrelouis449 he chocked many times in the playoffs because of injury issues or just underperforming recently with the thunder and the clipper. During his time in Indiana mostly before the horrifying leg injury, he was an mvp caliber player. Now he is just an all-star
@@gray6414 No that's not true. He's actually better now than he was in Indiana and after the horrific injury. He just made incremental improvements each year.
@@bigwoke686 yeah but in the playoffs when it all mattered he chocked several times especially with the clippers (pandemic p) and in the series against Portland and Utah, he wasn't performing up to his regular season standards. still he is a great player, even in the mvp talks during the regular season.
Against weak ass eastern conference teams with no real superstars who can guard him....if Kobe was in the east you think his ass would’ve gone to the finals so many times???
Not enough praise is given to Larry Bird for not only being a great player, a very good coach but also a pretty damn good front office executive as well... It's amazing how he transformed the Pacers from a below average team into a legit contender in the matter of a few seasons.
I’ll never forget that last play. I was 13 years old and it always stood with me. That was LeBrons goat moment for me. 2 seconds on the clock, ball in, lays it up. Wins game. It’s just to perfect. Such a hype game 1
I still remember watching this game live, this game made me scared of lebron. Everytime a team I was rooting for went against him, I wasn't celebrating until the buzzer sounded.
Is there a pass Lebron DIDN’T throw in this game? Unbelievable. Unfair to be that big, athletic and unstoppable while also being that brilliant as a playmaker.
JBJ was so much more aggressive offensively even with all those other great players on the team and very quick too. His game changed a lot he slowed down more now even though the game is more fast paced than before.
During this period of time the biggest issue the Pacers had in overcoming LeFlop and his team was PG's desire to be James's "little brother" rather than wanting to beat him.
These feel like pg best years when he didn’t give af and just went all out💯 he still has that top 5 dna but just needs to put it together again💯 same with kawhi he’s been on championship teams his whole career he gotta be a leader
3:21 So no one gonna say anything about pg13 breaking Lebron ankles and lebron falling down 😂😂😂i wonder why they dont show it in the media 😂😂😂broke the mans ankles balance lebron was like a baby born deer learning to walk 😂
@@candyman1251 8:25 LeBron catches the ball with both hands and on the left foot, its his pivot foot and no zero steps. But LeBron makes one step right, one step left and only then he starts dribble. It must be travel.
Oleg K I don’t agree it wasn’t travel wen he got there to the three point line he didn’t had the ball then he got and made quick move to the rack it was clean as it could be but the ref were made mistakes cause they want it Indiana to wine at 7:44 wen pg got faul from wade that was great d
@@Afterlife_Oleg You are reaching. No where near a travel. If you have to reach to see that its a travel during the few seconds of the game, the refs definitely won't call it. I'm tired of you fans using the travel word so carelessly. You really expect the refs to call that shit? SMH
Look how attached the defenders are for both teams. Shots contested, players are cutting, this is basketball at it finest.
This matchup was suppose to go on for a few more years, I always stayed on the edge of my seat every year they played.
2014 ECF was pretty good too. 2017 matchup was also pretty competitive if still a sweep. I'm hoping they meet again in the WCF this year

And missing much needed freethrows....
Pacers honestly could’ve pulled an upset if they would have put Roy Hobbert in the final seconds of game 1

Indiana PG was a different breed
Back when Paul George was still in his prime and could carry a team almost to the finals
Loved this matchup and series
I still remember watching this game live, this game made me scared of lebron. Everytime a team I was rooting for went against him, I wasn't celebrating until the buzzer sounded.
LeTrauma
One of the greatest series.
The Miami team executed perfectly their plan in just 2 seconds
more like lebron executed their plan
Legendary duel
Is there a pass Lebron DIDN’T throw in this game? Unbelievable. Unfair to be that big, athletic and unstoppable while also being that brilliant as a playmaker.
PG was really battlin wit Prime Bron🧏🏾♂️
Does anyone know where you can watch those kinda games from the early 2010s/late 2000s in full length?
Idk if you have PlayStation, but I remember I used to download them from PSN. Used to have the games of the years and playoff series games
Looking back this was peak nba basketball and again in 2017-18
5:40 What a clutch three from deep
How great PG is. He's just Third year here 22 yrs old. 💪
What if PG didn't injured. Maybe he got an MVP season trophy.
Bron,Wade,ray allen & bosh vs pg
@@toptier6132 yeahh 3 allstars vs 1.
@@BC-ce9wu in 2014 Ray Allen lebron and wade was the real big three against the pacers
PG woulda been amazing. Just like Rose would.

I bet even LeBron didn't believe he could shoot game winner by lay up without anyone's defense
As a Pacer fan living in Indy. This was a great series. Definitely should have taken game 1 but wasn’t meant to be.
What a defensive meltdown in the last play
Just like OG Anunoby hits a 3, then LeBron ends it with a winning floater
Definitely one of the best playoffs series of all time
PG set his feet way too early. 2.2 left just hound his body or give him space
Classic.. pg Is way more skillful now, but this pg was more exciting, explosive. Raw.
Pg13 has to be the one of the most underrated players of all time
Indiana Paul George is one of my favorite players I’ve ever seen play
i miss this miami team
Safe to say one of Lebron James easiest game winner yet 😄 this was one great game that had me on edge the whole time. This was baby PG
8:12 No.4 didn’t want no smoke
One of the best match ups
Paul George is too small for lebron
What?PG is taller than him lol, unless you mean Lebron is more muscular.
@@yurhomi4478 what??pg is taller than lebron....hmmm nevermind
@@yurhomi4478 Lebron nearly 6" 9, the recently NBA player real tall shows
Yurhomi 12 PG IS 6’9 lebron is 6’8 w/o shoes
And i think PG is just 22 yrs old here hmm.
PG13 was a beast! Bro took that Heat superteam to game 7 and almost won
This George’s long gone after the scary injury.
He's only gotten better since that injury
Playoff P reminds me of how T-Mac used to play.. almost identical
During this period of time the biggest issue the Pacers had in overcoming LeFlop and his team was PG's desire to be James's "little brother" rather than wanting to beat him.
Better play like james and stfu
U could tell this was PG first real playoff challenge he made his mistakes but still put in work
Watching this now and it's crazy how LeBron is still relevant in the league and I ain't even a LeBron fan. Dayum
This was last era when basketball was actually good
This video shows left hand lay up is important
Lebron looked smaller on the heat lol
2012 he was big asf
He looked better that way more athletic and quick..
He was literally his biggest when he played for the Heat. He got up to 270 at one point.
bigger

This was the real playoff P
Still mad this pacers team fell apart like 6 months later.
The game was so fun back then.. tired of players just shooting from 3 smh
before the steph curry era
Podcast P brought me here
PG should’ve never left the pacers
8:11 Same spot but different results in 2023 WCF G4😢 I miss prime Bron
Pacers could have possibly won this aeries in 6 games if Vogel played Hibbert on the final possession of OT in this game.
I miss this PG plays.
some things never fucking change
i prefer PG more
These feel like pg best years when he didn’t give af and just went all out💯 he still has that top 5 dna but just needs to put it together again💯 same with kawhi he’s been on championship teams his whole career he gotta be a leader
Bruh. Kahwi was 100 percent the leader in Toronto. There would be no championship team without him there that year
Why would they sub off Hibbert, they just watched Lebron effortlessly get a layup in the undefended paint
WHERE WAS HIBBERT ON THAT LAST POSESSION????
out
Roy Hibbert should not have been subbed out 🤦🏾♂️. Had he played in the last min he could’ve contested those lebron drives
Frank Vogel lost that game. Two possessions in a row he took Hibbert out. Just ridiculous
He still making boneheaded rotations like that with the Lakers 9 years later, lmao
@@jasonredic9457 i remember in first lakers preseason vs nets 2022 he subbed malik monk out when he was red hot LMFAOOOOO
Wade was really sluggish
This was PG's coming out party
A Big deal of a game PG is good,he bought some huge work you know.
If pacers had won this game they would have gone to the Finals and likely won
Paul Goerge....
Pacers: Playoff P.
Clippers: Pandemic P.
If miami not win this one, dwade might be traded to another team right after this season
