People say that Bron would have a hard time in a tough defensive era but in the 2000s when defense was at it’s best, in this season he averaged 31 points a game👑
@@davidjames6036Fax bro Lebron in any era would dominate but people hate him so they say anything that don’t make no sense at all😂
@@christurner2684 naw LeBron would have trouble in any era where they actually enforce carrying/traveling/palming 😭😭
Also have never seen someone as as 'big and strong' as LeBron routinely get knocked to the ground and/or flail his arms off minimal contact 😂😂 I'm 5'5" 140 pounds and if I ran into LeBron during a game he would flop trying to get the call 😭😭😭
With far less possessions per game than today.
They already got rid of hand checking by this season
hand checking was allowed in an era were most guards were lesser athlethes and. much smaller than what we have now.. 90´s defense is extremely overrated, just by looking at games from that era on TH-cam I came to the. realization that people have false memories/nostalgia from that period @@stephcurrytheg.o.a.t
It’s insane. At age 21 in his 3th year in the NBA he avg 31.4ppg 7.0rpg 6.6apg 1.6apg on 48% from the field and 33% from 3pt and a 50-32 record with a mediocre squad At age 21. Normally star players enter NBA at age 21 and still put way less impressive numbers then he did. Lebrons talent is/was out of this world. He would go easily 1st pick in any draft all time
3th hahahah
Dawg was one of the best in the league before HD Television existed and he’s still one of the best
as you can see in this video alone lebron had stepbacks, fadeaways, deep 3s, crossovers, spins, spinning layups, euro steps, hop steps etc all in his bag.
He’s capable of doing the moves you mentioned. Still doesn’t really have a bag. Better scores to play the game. Idc about number 1 all time scorer
They don’t watch
😂😂
Most players highlights will show the exact same things. LeBusto fans are pathetic.
@@Mike1122. lol naw
31ppg at 90 league pace. This season hosted some of the greatest scoring seasons ever, courtesy of Kobe/LeBron/Iverson. Let's not even talk about their numbers adjusted to today's game.
Now people can stop saying he’s still playing with the same athleticism , hes a freak athlete and has slowed down a lot but he was miles ahead of most that even in his decline he still elite but definitely not the same athlete he was in his first 12 years in the league.
21 years old and already established himself as a superstar at that time!!!!
Only 20n to start the season....his birthday is New Years Eve. Fun fact same day as Tiger Woods.
*@jonathanwilliams0824*
He established himself as the best player in the NBA by this season.
@@PolandSOulx
Yeah probably
Idc im watching this whole video when I got time ima be sad when lebron retire bruhh we gotta ge another ring
In LeBron 3rd year in the NBA,he'd helped the Cleveland Cavaliers to their 1st playoff berth since 1997-98
Funny how we let numbers dictate what we thought about a player. I’m seeing a FULL highlight clip of young Lebron shooting tough jumpers left and right. But they always say he can’t shoot? He was just a pure hooper bruh.
The tape always shows the real
If you say those were tough jumpers did Kobe had no equal at anytime in his career.
Can’t argue with the all time leading scorer no matter how he gottem he gottem if anything tougher by going to the rim.
This is the LeBron I remember, the young prodigy.
The _Witness_ Era. 100% agree. This was when I was a youngn and lebron was my hero.
I might be biased, but I think this is one of the best seasons ever. LeBron, Melo, Wade, Nash, Kobe, iverson, all had career years. Defense was still good, no superteams. It was a good time
My fav version of Lebron what a time to be alive fr young boy went crazy
This 06 bron was like a 6'9 sg. Pure scoring mentality this szn. This bron had the best handle. Quick asf off the dribble, guard like dribble moves. Movin like a guard lol
@@dreamchaser1419this is definitely the best lebron ever and he was flying literally
@@dreamchaser1419That's because he WAS a SG when he entered the league! They only switched him to SF after so he can grab more boards and and play as a point forward of sorts.
Can we just appreciate the fact that Lebron was exactly what he was expected to be. He lived up to the hype and then some. Bro is a whole success story.
Yeah if power dunks is what u expected. When then going got tough, he shrunk. If he was 6'9" 235lbs, he couldn't do that! No creation at all.
This was definitely one of the most dopest seasons lebron had, ‘05-‘06 was a good era
I watched every single game from this season.. Bron Kobe and A.I. went off
I just laugh watching this and thinking about the people saying still to this day, that LeBron "couldn't shoot" early in his career, comparing him to players like Zion or Ben Simmons. It's idiotic. There's a difference between not a good shooter, and can't shoot at all.
Dominating since '03... 👑
Bruh facts!!!
Only the 🐐 can do that
@@sportstalkonly1442 he ain't my goat but I can definitely see why, he's in my top three for sure... And I'm a lebron fan myself
@@sportstalkonly1442 can definitely see why he's your goat though
This dude has seen/has been apart of so much basketball, greatness personified
2003-2010 LeBron James is my favorite version of him. People forget that his best team and season at that time was the 2008-2009.
06-10 bron was def the best bron and the highest peak the league has ever seen but those teams were ass.
Definitely not his best teams
Lebron's scoring averaged peaked this season, 31 PPG. I think most people forget this season, but this is where he turned the corner as a scorer, and obviously his alien athleticism. His jumper was still streaky, but nonetheless one of his more forgotten amazing seasons. Feel like his off the dribble game took a leap in 06.
He was a Cane Corso with no leash
This 06 bron was like a 6'9 sg. Pure scoring mentality this szn. This bron had the best handle. Quick asf off the dribble, guard like dribble moves. Movin like a guard lol
@@dreamchaser1419 this was when he was a lil more fluid. Before the ….. weight lifting
Didn’t Kobe average 36 ppg in a tougher conference?
@@Mike1122. he did but that got non to do with anything
I remember this season like it was yesterday every play man… I was really able to witness the greatest nba career from start to finish this brother is truly amazing 👑🐐
Iam jealous
same here bro, i was a fan of his from his high school days back in 2001 when they showed his highlights on sportscenter, then i went to his first nba game in sac. 2005 Christmas, i got LeBrons for christmas and his jersey. this was my 6th grade year and i remember watching damn near every game the rest of the season in that jersey for good luck lol.
The early 2000s Was The Most physical era and Toughest Defence. Thats why i respect bron a lot cuz he strived throught that Area. 💯👍🏾
People don't remember this young LeBron. This was during the peak prime years of a 27 year old Kobe. A 21 year old LeBron in his 3rd NBA szn was legit argued as the best player in the league fighting Kobe for that spot... A peak Kobe... Kobe was avg 35/5/4 on a very mediocre team finishing 4th in MVP voting carrying his team to 45 wins and ended up losing in the 1st round of the playoffs in 7 to a 54 win Suns team. Outstanding szn. And he avg. 28/6/5 in the playoffs. Then you have LeBron who again is only in only his 3rd szn avg. 31/7/6 on a very mediocre team and finished 2nd in MVP voting (ahead of Kobe) and carrying his team to 50 wins. He ended up losing in the 2nd round of the playoffs in 7 to a 64 win Pistons team. In the playoffs (his very first playoffs btw) he avg. 31/8/6. So let that sink in. In LeBron's 3rd year as a 21 year old, he was neck and neck with a 27 year old prime Kobe in the regulars szn carrying his team which was just as bad as Kobe's to more regular szn wins and being ahead of Kobe in MVP voting. On top of individually outperforming Kobe in the playoffs. I love Kobe, he's in my top 5 but LeBron has been different.
*@greg2797*
Duncan and KG had just as good of an argument for the best player in the league as Kobe did, but I would say that LeBron edged them all out even at just 21yrs old.
What? Kobe played in the stronger conference not the weak east with 2 good teams.
@@Mike1122. well I already showed who they both faced in the playoffs lol the Pistons team Bron lost to was a 60+ win team. And an East team is who won the Finals that year. Both Kobe and Bron had comparable teams and lost to a great team in the playoffs
Now go look at MJ highlights. Way more than wide open freight train dunks. That's all lebron had.😂😂
@@ashian23x46 damn you riding hard lol what this gotta do with MJ? 💀
dude I forgot young LeBrons ridiculous hops holy sh*t freak of nature
And this wasn't even his athletic peak yet thats what was crazy. Around 08-10 thats when it felt like bron was faster stronger and jumping higher than everybody else around the league pound for pound and it wasnt close.
His layup package was crazy that year
I ain't gonna lie he's in yr 21 and it's still insane
@@peterkoroma7876it’s not insane it’s good, but not insane. In his younger days he just stormed to the rim, jumped high with a crazy hangtime and made acrobatic finishes, get hit and one. Guys touch around the rim was elite as it could get
nah he's been so insane that Bron doing something insane now is seen as "good".@@TheStatisfiedOne
@@peterkoroma7876nah he does safer more effective layups now
@@peterkoroma7876 it’s insane for his age what he is doing. But you are not gonna tell me he is better at making layups now then he did in his younger days. He was allot more explosive, quicker, faster, agile more coordinated, more hangtime and could make coordinated mid air acrobatic changing layups. Right now he only is physically more stronger and uses his strength more then he in his younger days to make layups
One of the greatest season ive seen from a player
And they say he wouldn’t have dominated back then…bro would’ve been wayyyy more dominant if he played back then 😂😂😭
Oldheads include this era too when they talk about “back then” not just the ‘80s and ‘90s. Rasheed Wallace was talking about how Bron wouldn’t survive in his era. He cooked the him and the Pistons during his playing days lol😂😂😂
I’ve been waiting for 05-06 for so long !!!!! He avgd 31 this season
I like how the rim sounded back then fr🔥
Word 💯🔥
yea, sounded like a drain
🗣️YUP . REAL TALK . N🚫 MAGNETS🧲🏀🧲🗑️ , LIKE TODAY .>🎤 🏀🗑️🤾
Nba and college rims both
Thought I was the only one
Stepbacks ,euro steps, fades, up and undes , crossovers, this is 05 -06 BTW man was ahead of his time at his size back then. All the casuals say he doesn't have a bag.
LeBron 05/06 Season is for me a Top 10 Bron season imo
#5 for me.
You can really go to a different Bron season and he looks like a different player every single time. Different shooting form, different go to move, it truly is remarkable.
That’s with every superstar player.
This 06 bron was like a 6'9 sg. Pure scoring mentality this szn. This bron had the best handle. Quick asf off the dribble, guard like dribble moves. Movin like a guard lol
31.4ppg, at 21 years old, right in the deadball era with teams like the Ben Wallace Piston… And that’s his career high, that’s just for the people who think Lebron couldn’t average 35 to 40ppg in his prime if he really wanted 🤷🏾♂️ And god forbid if you put this version of Lebron in 2024, he would literally be like a 6’8 240 pounds version of ANT.
imagine this bron on the lakers
this was no longer the dead ball era. The league already made some rule changes prior to this season which is why there was the big leap in scoring. Still very impressive tho
@@TH-cq7bj
There wasn't a big leap in scoring. The leaguewide ppg in 2005-06 was 97.0ppg compared to 97.5ppg in 1999-00. What rule changes anyway?
@@TH-cq7bjstraight cap.
@@Wisestomatoethis Lebron with AD would be too OD.
Lebron james is one of a kind
You’re right, no one has lost more on the biggest stage.
Anybody that says Bron doesn’t have a bag really don’t know basketball
I don't care what nobody says Lebron should've been the youngest MVP in NBA history for this season over Nash, Kobe & Lebron is debatable but i think James slights him by a little
Idk how anybody can watch this & not realize it’s not about awards or accomplishments. This is the greatest talent we seen in nba history. Speed , athleticism , shooting , rebounding , defense , play making. There’s nothing this guy can’t do. & he’s bigger , faster , stronger. 6’9 260 freight train.
lol, your kidding right? Shaq was bigger, and stronger, and cat quick. Kobe was a much better scorer and defender. D Wade was faster, Larry Bird was a better shooter, Magic a better passer, MJ was better at everything. Bye!
Great work! Wish we could see more young LeBron's season highlights like this. It's amazing!
People said Lebron couldn’t shoot lol. Guy always was an underrated shooters. Even at 21 years old he was an above average shooter, at times he was even elite. Guy made tons of off dribble shots, stepback shots, iso shots, off balance shots. Many weren’t even spot up easy shots
Gianni's still can't shoot like him!!
he shot 33% that year
@@darkorlightzOk? Lol. Stop % watching.
@dreamchaser1419 no amount of eye test makes someone who shoots 33% from out there a good shooter. at the end of the day, it was the weak spot in his game. you'd much rather allow him to take a shot that generally has a 33% chance of going in than giving the dude a lane to the basket.
even just look at his mechanics and compare them to his current day jumpshot. dude's a 40% shooter now and you can see why. doesn't hang in the air anymore, shoots the ball on the way up instead of on the way down, elbow is in tighter albeit still being out a bit, all of that resulting in better shooting.
stat watching?
@@dreamchaser1419 tf u on about lmao
NBA was more fun back then. No facebook, instagram, tik tok, twitter, etc. None of that shit, just basketball.
Same Here Dawg
sports before gambling became so mainstream >>>
Lol skip Payless using fake debate shows to slander bron's name for clicks destroyed sports media 😂😂
Miss those simpler times.
Yeah I was born in 2003 so I can’t exactly say I was old enough to watch the early 2000s I was started watching around 2008 and onwards but even I remember for the most part the media and fan base wasn’t so toxic compared to now especially
It's crazy how he's really only lost a couple inches of vert, lil bit of speed and some of the youthful stamina. Best athlete ever!!
He lost alot of fluidity though and he don’t have the stamina
He's lost more than a lot of people seem to realize, he has just gained a lot of skill. If he suddenly gained back the athleticism of his prime, it would be utterly terrifying and mesmerizing just how great of a season he could truly have.
wilt or MJ still. 💯
You old heads need to get a life man I can agree MJ is the goat but you’ve never even seen wilt play how are you saying he’s better
His most underrated season
The whole league was on one in 06!
Peak NBA. 96-03 drafts were all hitting or already in their prime. The media, marketing, fans, etc mann i miss it.
Max please make a LeBron GOAT album 💿 🐐 where you have all of these individual seasons from 2004-2024…
Not My GOAT

Most athletic player in nba history this version of the Cleveland lebron James 6’8 240-250LBs 40+inch vert and he was just as fast as anyone in the league at that time
Hmmmmm idk, 2013 Lebron or 2009 Lebron might have something to say bout that
@@SaintFrenchy in terms of athleticism? I think not pal
@@slattjack723Yea bro in terms of athleticism. 09 bron especially and 13 bron both were. Both were faster stronger and jumped higher. This 06 bron was just shiftier and quicker with his handle off the dribble. He was a shooting guard.
@@dreamchaser1419 🤧ok
No doubt he has 40k points right now, dude a scorer back in his younger days, what a freak of nature. GOAT !
YES! I love the GOAT SZN vids!
Can we get a Dwyane Wade 2004-05 GOAT SZN? 🐐
Yessss pleaseeee!!!!
Facts. 05 dwade, shaq first yr with the heat.
Much love to GOATSZN for this video because it puts all those rumors and false narratives to rest, LeBron can play in any era people forget so quickly how talented LeBron is and we should be more appreciative that we witnessed over 20 years of greatness
It’s a crazy thing to think that he’s still in the league but it’s another thing that he’s still playing at such a high level. And he’s got at least 2 more years left 😂 Like there’s no guide or any other player in history that he can go to ask for advice about being this good for this long. He’s the first NBA player to be this good so late in their career. Gonna enjoy and appreciate every game we have of him left 🙌🏼
He was already the best player in the entire NBA by this season at 21yrs old.
If you ignore the actual best player Kobe sure
@@Alex-wz9ze
By 2005-06 LeBron was already a bit better than Kobe ever was and by 2008-09 he was clearly better than Kobe ever was.
@@justsayin669you don’t know basketball at all but sure
@@justsayin669it’s funny how Kobe had out scored Lebron’s highest ppg in 05-06 and 08-09 had the better season and won the championship. Those were Kobe’s times. What was Lebron doing that Kobe wasn’t ? Cause at that age Kobe was the only creator and ball handler for a championship team. Averaging 30 points thru the playoffs. There all great players there is no such thing as way better than the other.
Kobe averaged 35.4 ppg that season outscored Dallas 62-61 by himself thru 3 quarters dropped 81 and had 28 40 point games that year
His speed was unreal during these days
He was alot quicker but to me this proves he takes Ped’s because in like 2018 he was jumping higher then when he was younger and for a old guy now, the difference in speed and hops makes no sense its litterally impossible anyways the signs are all there it aint even a secret no more
@@hoodpimp1519 Nah he was much slower in 2018. It's night and day.
This is so fire you made this bro, kids have no idea about this Bron Bron lol
🔥🤝🏾🏀
Make lebrons 06 07 season, he made his first trip to nba finals
Thank you on behalf of all bron fans ….. I think we have all the infinity stones now 😂
3RD YEAR IN THE LEAGUE 31PPG ‼️ improved 4+ from the 2ND YEAR 27PPG ‼️and he continues to dominate 21ST SEASON 🔥🫡
21 years old lebron would average 36-42 ppg in today's current nba. The pacing is much faster this year due to 3 points shooting and modern NBA offense. Lebron improved his 3 points shooting through the years. Back in 2006 NBA teams were only averaging 97 ppg.
This video has shown me the influence LeBron had on current day basketball

3rd year in the league and he was already 2nd in MVP voting and a top 5 maybe top 3 player in the league.

When you realize this highlights are two decades ago 🤯😄
Bron can dominate in any era.
The 2000’s proves he can dominate in any era. The early/mid 2000’s was still physical and more skilled than the ‘90s
Nothing is changed! He still plays like this!

Need 06-07 🙏🏾
Look at all those left hand layups lol.
I see what you did there 😂😂😂
We know who's season is more legendary but to me, LeBron was the best player this season.
how? 1 guy averaged more points and was 1st team all defense
1:09 that celly is tuff 🔥🔥🔥

Yes Sir....Akron' born and raised.
Love it

Great video. Please do Penny Hardaway 99-00. Thank you.
back when a drive from bron always gets a foul
Being an old head that still play ball once a week and won't let some non athletic whyte man tell me that Brons is not one of or the greatest to play! Jordan is my era but when I play ball nowadays.... which I play with 35 and up guys.. ain't nobody out there trying to play like MJ !! Bron game is what everyone is doing.. driving to the basketball... kick out and shoot... basically, get everyone involved making the right plays!
Year 21 class of 03 🏆🏆🥇🥇🏆
This Lebron letting people know he's superstar!!!
🐐👑🔥🔥🔥
The ESPN SC commercials at the beginning are classic.
You have to make one for 06-07 and 11-12
this is the real bron young men lol
first robbed mvp season at age 21 2006. he should have been youngest to win mvp ever. in this year also he was a youngest player whos averaged 30+ ppg in a season, this record is still untouchable.
lol no. There was a guy who averaged 35 that season who was robbed.
Kobe clears
@@TH-cq7bjadvanced stats showed Lebron was better. More efficient, better +- when he is on the floor
more efficient 3 ft from the basket, sure. Kobe was playing with a worse team in a tougher conference@@TheStatisfiedOne
He’s the only player who’s highlights have his missed game winners, they be hating
I stg bro, they been hating on bro. I still find it ironic asf that people hate LeBron because he wears 23 and idolized Jordan as a kid (who didn't). But they say nothing about Kobe who literally imitated him in every way (except gambling). The double standard is wild 💀
@@NewWorldDreams47👍 EXACTLY!!
a commercial back then, distinctly said: BE LIKE MIKE ..
Oh my goodness thank the lord Jesus himself that you posted this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
His jumper was so much better when was younger. I know the highlights are showing all his made shots but the form, and fluidity on his shot was so much better.
His jumpshot looks much better this year smooth and not a two motion jumpshot
He just shot 41% from the 3 this year, you can tell his jump shot got much better
i don’t care what kinda career mj had he wasn’t a better basketball player then lebron. just keeping it a buck winning don’t make you better just means he was in the right position with the right team
1:13 Van Pelt being petty 💀
