THROWBACK REBUILD: 2003 CAVALIERS *ROOKIE LEBRON* NBA 2K19

In the 2003 NBA draft the Cleveland Cavaliers selected LeBron James with the first overall pick. From his first game on the court LeBron ascended into one of the greatest players in the league which caused the Cavs to switch to contention mode quicker than they anticipated, which ultimatley led to them never building a great team around James. In this video we take a look at what LeBron's career and the mid 2000's Cavaliers would look like if we tore the team down and built the team through acquired draft picks.
In real life LeBron tried to do everything he could to get the Cavaliers to draft Chris Paul out of Wake Forest, ultimately they couldn't...and neither could I but I did surround LeBron with some incredibly talented guys.

Hey guys, we completely forgot to show the 2007 draft.
Here is how we acquired Kevin Durant. We ended up with the 9th pick in the lottery via the Detroit Pistons draft pick we acquired earlier in the video. We traded that pick and Cauncey Billups for the Atlanta Hawks 1st round pick (#1) and J.R. Bremer. With that pick we chose Kevin Durant.
Rondo we drafted 8th overall the prior year (With the Mavericks pick we acquired earlier in the video) --He did not get any playing time as a rookie on our stacked team and so he wasn't shown in the video. This mistake won't happen again, sorry.

[@liluzipowellrunngun6478]

Jiedel don’t sweat it brother

[@Yungojs]

No worries, i was actually just wondering how tf is kd in ur team loool good rebuild brother keep it up

[@geraldruss4691]

[@CocoMo06]

Another

[@aftmostcheetah2375]

Good video James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rishi2160]

Please show every off-season when ur rebuilding. Like, we didn't know about Rondo, Durant, or anyone else u added until the end
No hate tho, just some constructive criticism. This is my favorite kind of video u make

[@benspeedo9642]

tru

[@JLoading]

fr I was like wtf rondo then once he hopped it in I saw KD and I was like wtf 😂 woulda been cool to see how he got them

[@Ghostface2point0]

Bruh I was lost AF when he said KD was on the team

[@tommyhedges3644]

Look at the year. He skipped like 3 years it’s 2024

[@rishi2160]

He should at least recap it or do some highlights or something

[@maybenodyarg]

YOU REALLY DID NOT HAVE TO GIVE UP STEVE NASH LMFAO

[@ucfweekly7982]

And two firsts😂

[@curtistillmann4746]

Thank u, I thought I was the only one

[@lugiiaa]

I’m saying

[@zack1851]

Seriously, probably could’ve just gave up 2 firsts and called it a day😂😂

[@lilmoney4216]

Thats what i said to myself

[@ABrodPlays]

"Rondo, Howard, LeBron, all on the court together"...predicting the 2019-20 Lakers huh

[@cooperfischer510]

That’s wired

[@rileyrozencwaig1597]

You skipped the offseason?

[@heathbelan1020]

Riley Rozencwaig he was talking about that on the pinned comment

[@andrewchoate7725]

I don’t care if you don’t show the draft or free agency in later years but at least recap and show the full lineup. The final year we didn’t know about rondo Durant till playoffs and don’t know a single player on the bench

[@will5768]

Andrew Choate yeeee

[@iTzRyanthrummy]

YES KEEP GOING WITH IT BUT ALSO DO A REBUILD FOR CARMELO AND THE KNICKS SO HE CAN WIN A FINALS 💯💯💯👍👍👍👍😂😂

[@jaysonwilliams7129]

[@matth-bear7846]

Please keep it going. It's soooooooooooooo much better than watching the actual Cavs.

[@superepic5465]

Wait a second..... Kevin Durant isn’t supposed to be in the nba rn

[@thebiggestcarl]

Super epic5 he skipped until 2007, when he was drafted

[@tommyhedges3644]

[@wlower5159]

[@ethancloud6736]

The reason LeBron didn't win rookie of the year is because 2k doesn't change years pro same with KD not winning rookie of the year

[@emiliostark2478]

Loved this video my man!! Keep it killing it with this series

[@samgobeil500]

Anyone else notice @8:02 Lebron is a 99??

[@yakovthememegod6364]

[@tko-bx4bd]

It’s early in the game so lebron is low. I don’t understand why you’re questioning him not being 99 already

[@brendoncadle222]

Yea lmao

[@MastlevinDettinger]
