    I don’t blame him a bit for leaving It’s alarming when your best teammate is Mo Willams

    I always said this , “LeGm” Bron only became a thing because of those 7 years in Cleveland! He most likely got ptsd from organizations thanks to those Cleveland years 😂

    any cavs fan will tell you our team failed him but then non cavs fans will try and say that it was lebrons fault Edit: The comments under this prove my point😂

    LeBron left the Cavs because of their organizational failures. After drafting the 18 year old kid that was deemed ‘The Chosen One’ he lived up to and exceeded all expectations. LeBron James gave the Cavs 7 seasons of the best basketball an organization could ask for and they failed him. In those 7 seasons the cavs failed to hit on any draft picks and they also didn’t trade for another star. Still with no co-star LeBron managed to drag that cavs team to the finals in the 2006–2007 season where they got swept by Tim Duncan’s spurs despite LeBron having the most points and assists in the series. People like to bash LeBron for leaving the Cavs but they don’t know what they’re talking about, he gave them everything. It’s not LeBron’s fault for the cavs front office failures because given the situation, he was damn near perfect on the court.

    It’s still crazy to me that LeBron led that awful 2007 Squad to the FINALS 🤯

    The 2009 finals... The Kobe vs LeBron final is forever gonna be one of the biggest "what if" in sport history

    Those Cavs were 60+ win teams sometimes, but what’s sad about em is that most of it was cuz of LeBron. It’s also sad that revisionists use those Cavs teams to criticize him, as if Mo Williams, Larry Huges, an old Shaq and Big Z was apparently more than enough help for him.

    15:30 I had foot surgery the day LBJ hit that buzzer beater, and I remember springing up from my chair right onto my wounded foot. Thankfully I didn’t mess it up any more, but that’s one his top career highlights for sure.

  • @SnuggieMaple
    It will always make me angry how the Cavaliers fans reacted to Lebron leaving when he carried the franchise so much even that bum team to the finals! And then when he finally was done with it and left they burned the home town hero’s jerseys

    Do a video on The 2004 Charlotte Bobcats Expansion Team They tried to do the smart thing and tried to build a team for the future, it didnt work, all of their picks were busts. They sucked. How do you think they would have done if they built a win now team? In the expansion draft they could have taken veterans like Antoine Walker from Dallas, Jerry Stackhouse from Washington, Chucky Atkins from Boston, Eddie Jones from Miami, Ruben Patterson from Portland and some younger guys like Matt Barnes from LAC, Jason Kapono from Cleveland, Zaza Pachulia from Orlando, Gerald Wallace from Sacramento In the draft they would have had the 4th pick and their choice of Shaun Livingston, Devin Harris, Josh Childress or Luol Deng. None are franchise cornerstones but all had better careers than Emeka Okafor I think that would have been a year 1 playoff team with a 29 year old Jerry Stackhouse getting 15/3/2 in 30mpg at SG/SF and a 27 year old Antoine Walker giving 20/9 at PF, I think that Bobcats team, with the sake of hindsight knowing how bad they were at drafting and developing talent and knowing how leadless they were. They definitely would have benefited from having a more veteran roster and they would have benefited from having later picks in the draft, assuming that's a playoff team the first 2 or 3 years. The Bobcats expansion draft is a super intetesting topic thats never talked about. Looking back with the benefit of hindsight, what do you think was the best possible team they could have built with the expansion draft and their 2004 draft picks?
