Before I watch this video, I watched a few (prime) Wade highlights in the same season and at that moment I really thought he deserve to get at least equal chance to win MVP that season as compared to Lebron. But after watching this and a few of other Lebron highlights, man Lebron is just on another level. I mean Wade had a great season, lead the league in scoring and was overall better statically than James (James have more rpg) and Bryant (he finished second in MVP ballot), but the thing that James does night in and night out is anything but special. Wade is top 3 SG all time but Lebron one day MIGHT be right up there with MJ.
lebron was a 29% 3 point shooter in '09. He is now a 37-40% 3 point shooter. You gotta give him props for being able to improve so much. A lot of people would have a low percentage throughout their career if they shot that low in their 6th year in the league. Say what you want about him but you can't bash his willingness to improve. Best player in the world right now.
903dubtown but lebron & the cavs choked against orlando & blew their chance to the finals so they evidently gotten swept so get ur facts str8 before u type illogical shit
***** read ur post. That was illogical. I knew u were probably gonna post some dumb shit just to argue. So because they "blew their chance" of making it to the finals and "choked" they lost 4-0? That equals a sweep? I thought a sweep means 4-0 not choking and losing ur chance at the finals. But maybe I just don't know what the definition of sweep means.
52 + 11 = 76 total points, 81 + 2 = 85 total points, plus the 81 points was in an amazing comeback effort. theres a reason people consider the 81 point game as one of the greatest performances of all time and not this game
I'm not sure we watched the same Pippen. He led the Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals, was the All-Star Game MVP, and led the bulls in scoring, assists, and blocks, and shot 49% for the season, better than any Kobe year, in a much tougher on-ball defensive NBA. He was first team all NBA without Jordan, do I need to go on?
Sometimes we seem to forget how good this guy really is. He doesnt have to do as much in Miami because he has be better supporting cast. But need be he always has it in his bag if he ever needs to bring it out.
The reason he has a lot of shirts on is to keep warm. Keeping your muscles warm is imperative when going through extensive physical activity. Its good for your muscles and prevents injury.
the best game ever by a player at Madison square garden I rank this first then kobe then jordan then Melos meaningless 62 points against the sorry bobcats
Melo scored almost 60 at the end of the third quarter, he didn't play much in the 4th. Scoring wise, his performance was a lot more impressive than Kobe. Lebron is above them, few players can score 50 and have triple double at the same time.
ElTuco84 Man i feel like I have been tryin to make that same argument forever but people act like scoring is the only category that wins games... I appreciate James' team play mind more than anyone's "scoring only attitude" Sometimes the passes he makes are just so sweet to watch
scoring wise I agree, cavs lbj was a little bit more aggressive (obviously he could go for 40 every night), but heat lbj is wayyy more efficient overall! That's just a fact
I totally agree. Plus, to the haters that are saying that he's un-loyal, what would you want him to do? He wasn't getting any help in Cleveland, so he left. The dream of every NBA player is to win a championship, right? Plus I bet some Laker fans don't remember that Kobe demanded a trade when the Lakers were at it's worst. When LeBron & the Cavs were at it's worst, he stayed, & hoped it would get better. He just couldn't take it anymore in 2010. I think he'll surpass Jordan.
They wear a lot of layers so they can keep their muscles warm. It helps so that they don't pull any muscles. Imagine working out or doing whatever and then all you wear is a jersey and a pair of shorts. You cool down quickly and that causes your muscles to stiffen up.
Idk why ppl saying that they took the rebound from him. Clearly the stat line when it said 52 pts 11 asst 9 reb came before he got the last rebound so he did have 10 rebounds
It's not about him being the new or old LeBron. He is the same player, but better. The only reason people say "This LeBron" is because he had to do more than he does now. If anything if LeBron right now was in Cleveland back then he would have even better games, but in Miami he just doesn't have to carry a team anymore.
KBPhenom XD Sport R A bitch all i was saying is didn't have a triple double this game and i got a father so im not a bastard, and how does he have the most triple doubles who told you that lie bastard.
While I'm on it, just posting AI, and MJ's stats for comparison (just because) AI: 52.9pts/4.4reb/5.5ast on 33.8 FGA and 16 FTA MJ: 54.1pts/7.6reb/4.5ast on 32.8 FGA and 14.1 FTA LeBron had 15.9 FTA and Kobe was about 15.2. What we get is that LeBron averages BY FAR the least amount of shots yet puts up monster numbers in the assist and rebounding categories. Also Kobe doesn't compare to MJ in terms of rebounding, assists, FGA or FTA, and MJ is right behind Kobe in scoring.
Nope, they reviewed the game and saw that a mistake was made in the stat keeping and he was given an extra rebound at some point, couldn't tell you which one it was though.
like three days before Kobe dropped 61 in MSG, then Lebron showed up and did this. I'd take lebron's 52 point triple double any day over Kobe's performance.
Here are facts: When LeBron has at least 50 points in a game, his per game average is 52.1pts/7.4reb/8.4ast on 30.6FGA. For Kobe it is 54.9pts/6.4reb/3.4ast on 34.3FGA. They average the same amount of FTA and minutes in these games. Point is, both rebound equally well for their size and position. However, LeBron is a MUCH MUCH better distributor of the ball and it's not even close. Also Kobe basically averages one more field goal per game but takes 4 more shots than LeBron, the sign of a chucker
Oscar played in an era that was both small, slow and unathletic - it was like lebron playing against a high school team. And moses malone has never had a 50 point triple double.
not one, not two, not three, but four warm up shirts!
Notice how he gets assist along with his points. Lol. He's the best to do it.
Right. It just comes naturally even in his early years. Man is a beast
Dame LeBron how many shirts he had on like 5
I was about to say that. lol
06 to 09 where amazing years for basketball.. LBJ, Wade, Melo, Kobe.. everyone was dominating
Before I watch this video, I watched a few (prime) Wade highlights in the same season and at that moment I really thought he deserve to get at least equal chance to win MVP that season as compared to Lebron. But after watching this and a few of other Lebron highlights, man Lebron is just on another level.

34% in 09. Just 29% at the time of this game. But definitely has gotten better and better at his jumpshot. And Def the best player right now.
one player could change the whole team become the best team in seasons.. He is damn Great player Mr. james.
Youngest player to get a 50-10-10 game in the history of nba #LeKING
I remember this season..kniccz caught hell that week..
Kobe 62
Bron 50/ triple dubb
Celtics beat em by 20 plus
Woeful week lol
Didnt the mavs blow them out by 50?
This game should be dubbed as "The Battle for the Worst Franchise"
That score score 52pt and got triple double!!! that crazy
Mo Williams was so damn cocky when he played next to Lebron until he got completely washed in the playoffs.
damn how u scored 52pts and still get 11ast and 10 reb this guy a beast!!! and his bringing back that cav mentality this yr in heat uniform....
Damn I miss the pick and pop with Lebron and Z .. Cavs Lebron will always be my favorite
arguably one of the greatest games ever played. never mind he had better games during last years playoffs. lebron isn't a beast he is THE beast
this is the tym when everyone loves him and nobody is hating good old days...
2009 knicks had a better squad than the 2009 cavaliers
yet lbj 1 the mvp with a 66-16 record
KBPhenom XD Sport R and gotten swept by orlando in the conference finals...how sad
***** yes they did lose, but it was 4-2 not a sweep. Gotta get the facts correct.
903dubtown but lebron & the cavs choked against orlando & blew their chance to the finals so they evidently gotten swept so get ur facts str8 before u type illogical shit

When lebron hits the jumper consistently it's always an ominous sign
LeBron scored 52 at NY Knicks!
I remember this week for the Knicks. Kobe dropped 61, Lebron almost had a 50 point triple double, and the Mavs beat them by like 50. All in MSG
Forgot wade
52 + 11 = 76 total points, 81 + 2 = 85 total points, plus the 81 points was in an amazing comeback effort. theres a reason people consider the 81 point game as one of the greatest performances of all time and not this game
lbj, a great player who helps the team in all.
Lebron James My All time best Idol Forever
I guess he wore multiple layers to warm up quicker before the game started.
He wore like 5-6 shirts
KBPhenom XD Sport R was 4 shirts not 5
I'm not sure we watched the same Pippen. He led the Bulls to the Eastern Conference finals, was the All-Star Game MVP, and led the bulls in scoring, assists, and blocks, and shot 49% for the season, better than any Kobe year, in a much tougher on-ball defensive NBA. He was first team all NBA without Jordan, do I need to go on?
Lebron James Dived For The Rebound To Get His Triple-Double
LEBRON JAMES YOU ARE INCREDIBLE :D
52 pts 11 assists , the guy was primarily involved in at LEAST 3/4ths of their offense alone scoring nearly half of their pts.
Way underrated performance, due to a Laker guy who made the scoring record just some days before this game.
Damn, crazy stat line!
I almost forgot how fun it used to be to watch LeBron play when he was with Cleveland.
they took that rebound away from him at the end of the game
Aint no doubt about it lebron james name is mentioned with all the greats and he still has at least 15 more years left
Sometimes we seem to forget how good this guy really is. He doesnt have to do as much in Miami because he has be better supporting cast. But need be he always has it in his bag if he ever needs to bring it out.
52 points, 11 assist, and 10 rebounds? My goodness!
triple double with 52 points? LBJ is a beast
36-17 when LeBron goes out.
40-32 when LeBron comes back in.
tittle should be 52pts,11ast,10reb,40 shirts, lebrons amazing quad -dub
They won as many games as the current Miami Heat and have a better defensive rating. Food for thought.
10 sec left shoots Lebron is like give me the freaken rebound I want a triple double!!!!!!!!
The reason he has a lot of shirts on is to keep warm. Keeping your muscles warm is imperative when going through extensive physical activity. Its good for your muscles and prevents injury.
This was the same week when Kobe scored 61 at MSG.
Yup.....not a great month for Knick fans haha
It doesn't take away how good of a game he had..
the best game ever by a player at Madison square garden I rank this first then kobe then jordan then Melos meaningless 62 points against the sorry bobcats
Carlos Suarez yet melo scored 62 on them and lebron scored 61......
Melo scored almost 60 at the end of the third quarter, he didn't play much in the 4th. Scoring wise, his performance was a lot more impressive than Kobe. Lebron is above them, few players can score 50 and have triple double at the same time.
ElTuco84 Man i feel like I have been tryin to make that same argument forever but people act like scoring is the only category that wins games... I appreciate James' team play mind more than anyone's "scoring only attitude" Sometimes the passes he makes are just so sweet to watch
Legizzle James dominating the Knicks as usual.
he got his 10th rebound in the final second to get the triple double
50 point triple double, WOW legendary shit
Monster game by LeBron
the best player of nba
James you are amazing bro !!
Its for warming up his muscles, only professional athletes would know this.
He is like Goku, wears heavy shirts to make the training more intense.
scoring wise I agree, cavs lbj was a little bit more aggressive (obviously he could go for 40 every night), but heat lbj is wayyy more efficient overall! That's just a fact
True. Usually in the playoffs, that's when he steps up. Ex- Game 6 in Boston.
I totally agree. Plus, to the haters that are saying that he's un-loyal, what would you want him to do? He wasn't getting any help in Cleveland, so he left. The dream of every NBA player is to win a championship, right? Plus I bet some Laker fans don't remember that Kobe demanded a trade when the Lakers were at it's worst. When LeBron & the Cavs were at it's worst, he stayed, & hoped it would get better. He just couldn't take it anymore in 2010. I think he'll surpass Jordan.
the knicks were displaying a starting 5 that included chris duhon, jared jeffries, and quintin richardson
geil! ich liebe deine dirk und lebron highlights! so schön lang^^
First player to score 50 points and get a triple-double since Kareem Abdul Jabbar in 1975.
They wear a lot of layers so they can keep their muscles warm. It helps so that they don't pull any muscles. Imagine working out or doing whatever and then all you wear is a jersey and a pair of shorts. You cool down quickly and that causes your muscles to stiffen up.
Idk why ppl saying that they took the rebound from him. Clearly the stat line when it said 52 pts 11 asst 9 reb came before he got the last rebound so he did have 10 rebounds
When Lebron's departure brought the Cavs two first picks (one for Kyrie and the other for this year), you know how bad the team is......
It's not about him being the new or old LeBron. He is the same player, but better. The only reason people say "This LeBron" is because he had to do more than he does now. If anything if LeBron right now was in Cleveland back then he would have even better games, but in Miami he just doesn't have to carry a team anymore.
I don't know if you noticed that, but:
1. Kobe is 6 years older
2. TEAMS win championships, PLAYERS win MVP's
the NBA took away the triple double after reviewing the stats....he officially finish with 52-11-9
Does it really Matter??? NO ONE in NBA History has ever gotten that stat line so 10 rebs or 9,he Still Made history.
How did they not win the championship after winning 60+ games and being the favorites.
Saddest? ALL of that starting 5 made an all star team in their careers.
LeBron really only had 9rebs in this game so i don't no why say he had a triple double cause he didn't.
No he got a rebound with 2 seconds left
brendan pettinato Go look at stats it clearly says 52 points 11 ast 9 rebs, they took that rebound away from him.
forrest that was before the game was over bastard, even without that10th rebound, he has the most triple doubles
KBPhenom XD Sport R I am the same as (Kanaan Barton)
KBPhenom XD Sport R A bitch all i was saying is didn't have a triple double this game and i got a father so im not a bastard, and how does he have the most triple doubles who told you that lie bastard.
Not just you, I have noticed it too. Also he changes his free throw routine a lot. But As long as his fg% keeps going up every year so be it.
I got a double laugh when they showed the Cavs team around LeBron
i never know mike d'antoni would upset about his team defense.
i agree, he was good now he is better or should i say the best
Cavs beat the
Knicks 13 straight times before Bron left the Cavs in 2018.
JESUS A TRIPLE AND SCORE 50+ POINTS!!!!! Kobe Could never do that
The NBA actually officially rescinded one of his rebounds after people whined about it.
While I'm on it, just posting AI, and MJ's stats for comparison (just because)
AI: 52.9pts/4.4reb/5.5ast on 33.8 FGA and 16 FTA
MJ: 54.1pts/7.6reb/4.5ast on 32.8 FGA and 14.1 FTA
LeBron had 15.9 FTA and Kobe was about 15.2.
What we get is that LeBron averages BY FAR the least amount of shots yet puts up monster numbers in the assist and rebounding categories. Also Kobe doesn't compare to MJ in terms of rebounding, assists, FGA or FTA, and MJ is right behind Kobe in scoring.
Ooops I meant to put 66 wins, they went 66-16 in 09
This is waayyy better than kobe's 81 point game
Intro song name is actually Darude-Sandstorm
he called that crowd sellouts... lol.... look at KD
Nope, they reviewed the game and saw that a mistake was made in the stat keeping and he was given an extra rebound at some point, couldn't tell you which one it was though.
only lebron could score 50+ with a triple double
like three days before Kobe dropped 61 in MSG, then Lebron showed up and did this. I'd take lebron's 52 point triple double any day over Kobe's performance.
this is way better then kobe`s 81 points game
LeBron loves playing in MSG... as a member of the other team.
The RINGLESS Lebron?? no REAL Lebron fan misses all the scrutiny he received when he was ringless..
I agree, it looks better now.
both the teams who played coaches coached for the lakers.
omg that knicks lineup lmaoo
Here are facts: When LeBron has at least 50 points in a game, his per game average is 52.1pts/7.4reb/8.4ast on 30.6FGA. For Kobe it is 54.9pts/6.4reb/3.4ast on 34.3FGA. They average the same amount of FTA and minutes in these games. Point is, both rebound equally well for their size and position. However, LeBron is a MUCH MUCH better distributor of the ball and it's not even close. Also Kobe basically averages one more field goal per game but takes 4 more shots than LeBron, the sign of a chucker
my first triple double how could i forget
NBA STARTS TONIGHT!!
that's quadruple 52 points,11 assists,10 rebounds, and 10 shirts....
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1975): 50 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists.....
I think it's for him to keep warm to the game...
He got the 10 at end of the game
52pts.11ast and 10reb thats a triple double
am i the only one that noticed his jumpshot was a lot more flatfooted during this game?
My goodness. Before the game started he took off like 4 shirts
Oscar played in an era that was both small, slow and unathletic - it was like lebron playing against a high school team.
And moses malone has never had a 50 point triple double.
JESUS 81 points !!!!!!!!! Lebron Could never do that
