2007 Finals Spurs defense on LeBron James

And this is exactly why he left. They didnt improve their roster in 5 years. The spacing in this video is horrific. Bunch of bums in the finals

only bron can have a tape where it's literally 5v1 and the comments say they lockin ts up 😂

It’s stuff like this where if you put Kobe and MJ in they can simple pull off their turnaround fadeaways. Not saying they’re better but the best always had a move that could get them a GUARANTEED shot regardless of defense. MJ had it, Kobe had it, Hakeem had it, Kareem had it.

Regular season ass defense just exploiting the fact LeBron can’t shoot 🤷‍♂️

Them niggas had 4 in the paint against 22 year old Bron 😭😭😭😭 and mfs tb he shuda passed !!???? Nigga to who lmao ??? Boobie Gibson? But ppl still gonna count this finals loss and act like shit like this is the reason he not the GOAT. If Jordan was good enough to carry a team when he was this young he wuda had issues too.

To be fair and I’m not a LeBron’s supporter , that Team he carried to the finals will go down as one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind

This was what the Jordan rules were just with a hint of fuck him up lol You need a consistent jumper and a go to move. Plus Bron didnt have a post game. It takes time for the game to slow down and you pick defenses apart. Everyone goes through it

Imagine a team backing up to let Kobe shoot pull up jumpers.

A lot of over dribbling and horrible jump shooting. Not that hard to defend when you have somewhat of a defensive IQ

Oh you mean when he was 22 yrs old leading his team (which btw had no business being there in the first place. Only because of LeBron were they there) to the NBA finals vs arguable one of the best dynasties in NBA history What was Jordan doing at 22 yrs old. 🤔 That’s right he was losing in the first round to the Bucks in four games. Failing to make his first finals til 28 yrs old Overall just a piss poor effort hating on LeBron. Seriously instead of continuing the hate day after day just enjoy watching one of the greats to play the game while you still can

I’m having the same reaction that I had when I watched this series live on tv my first yr out of college, LeBron cant shoot and stinks it up when it matters the most.

And still hasn't improved as a junp shooter in over 25 years. But keep posting those early workout videos tho 😂

i thought he was a great playmaker right out high school. comparisons to Magic were greatly exaggerated.

Brother can’t shoot, dribble, or read a defense. Dribbles slowly into the paint where everyone is cause he couldn’t shoot. Then runs into people, early days of his flopping, only to throw a 3 mph pass to an open dude he should have seen in the first place

Bernard King would’ve averaged 45 vs this coverage

People out there that claim he was better than Kobe at that time 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yall fake goat has no jump shot and dribbles like a crab 🦀 💀 this is called not practicing and thinking you can get by with the help of the league 6 finals losses were imminent

The fact that LeBron was in the finals at his age ( 22 ) with that team is beyond me. He had a 2nd year coach , no All NBA teammates and no veteran leadership , and to top it all off he’s going up against one of the greatest teams ever!! Pretty crazy if you ask me. Him just getting there is more impressive than anything.

Tim duncan litteraly said the defended 5 on him, no one other players had this impact and no one else would have won with his team so yes he was already the BITW despite not having developped his game

we can sit here and blame the teammates that contributed to him making the finals but lets also be fr , Bron didnt have a jumper at the time , couldnt buy a basket . he shot poorly . they were daring him to shoot and all he wanted to do was drive .

😭😭😭 they really wanted a 22 year old bron to score on this @iamjameslang @CanthonyKelley3 @MalikMckinney98

Just as I remembered, LeBron wasn’t much of a mid-range guy early in his career.

Tim Duncan was hella overrated because this guy just benefitted from such an elite team created by gregg popovich. He still gets way too much credit for being a system player. He looked lost in the basketball floor without pop which is why he was awful in olympics.

The result of not being able to shoot.

No way a young LeBron was going to dominate this Spurs team.

If he can’t use he strength to drive . He useless . Confidence goes down and he can’t shoot to save his life .

this what kobe dealt with his entire prime lol.

And y’all deadass said this would’ve won with Shaq?

Can you please do Pistons 04 Vs Kobe? Or the 11 Mavs? Or Kawhi/Kobe/Steph/KD in the 3-1 leads they choked? Thanks

Pistons 04 vs kobe coming later today

All those defenders in the paint is why he didn’t link up with Bam and Giannis in Miami

The Spurs just said he’ll have to beat us making jump shots and the game plan still holds true 20 years later

1v5
