When LeBron Put the Entire Franchise on His Back

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

These are the 27 times LeBron James went off this season. And first up, it's the time LeBron time traveled back 15 years, just for this emphatic dump.

Ay, King James threw that down with authority, just like I'm authorized to show you this. Okay, LeBron, I see you. Bro just needs to get sturdy with it next time. But in case those moves didn't get you out of your seat, this will.

SPEAKER_2 (0:33)

He loses it momentarily, taken by Austin. It's a four on one, reach, stop!

SPEAKER_1 (0:44)

Austin said, I don't think so. Yo, forget the Orlando Magic, LeBron is the magic show. And if you don't believe me, then how is this pass even possible?

SPEAKER_4 (0:56)

We got Reggie Jackson trying to guard James.

SPEAKER_1 (1:09)

Beautiful Reeves.

Yeah, My G pulled that one straight out of the Harlem Globetrotters playbook. That said, this wasn't the only time King James channeled his creativity. Because on Christmas Day, the Lakers were going head to head with the Dallas Mavericks. When midway through the second quarter, it appeared that father Tom had finally caught up with LBJ. Or so we thought.

SPEAKER_3 (1:32)

Now James, what great hesitation.

SPEAKER_4 (1:35)

LeBron James in year 20, looking like a rookie.

SPEAKER_1 (1:38)

Well, I'll be damned. My man pretended to go AFK. And get this, it worked. However, pretending to go AFK isn't the only thing LeBron has tried this season.

Sheesh, a one-legged three-pointer? I bet you, Bronnie taught him that. But if you thought a little trickery was cool, you're not going to want to blink, because the best moments are still to come. I'm talking posterizing grown men, plowing through four defenders, and the moment LeBron did something no other player has. But first, it's time to learn what LBJ does when the game is on the line, because you won't see LBJ pretend to be out of breath or try new moves. Instead, you'll see old school LeBron come back to life.

SPEAKER_2 (2:22)

LeBron James with it. LeBron James attacking the basket.

SPEAKER_3 (2:29)

He went up against three haunts and knocked it down.

SPEAKER_1 (2:34)

Let's just say LeBron won't be needing train tickets anytime soon. Bro is the Frank Train, something Kevin Herter learned the hard way.

SPEAKER_2 (2:41)

The other way, Lakers have numbers. Here comes that train.

SPEAKER_1 (2:52)

That said, James is still gonna want to hold on to his private jet, because every now and then, My G is on another planet. And on December 13th, 2022, Dude had the opportunity to do something that gravity doesn't allow most 38-year-olds to do. Take a look.

SPEAKER_2 (3:07)

Yep, a screen or attempted screen by Cornette, stolen by James. Here's a breakaway again. It never gets old. No, it never gets old.

SPEAKER_1 (3:19)

Either the rules of physics don't apply to him, or LeBron is secretly an alien. After all, one second he's jumping the moon, the next he's straight up levitating.

SPEAKER_4 (3:28)

Tonto Beverly is the one that's guarding him.

SPEAKER_2 (3:32)

LeBron.

SPEAKER_4 (3:33)

Twisting.

SPEAKER_2 (3:34)

Fade away jumper.

SPEAKER_4 (3:35)

That's good.

SPEAKER_3 (3:37)

It just keeps that dribble alive until he gets where he wants to get.

SPEAKER_1 (3:40)

If you told me 20 years ago that LeBron would still be making these kind of shots in year 20, I would say you were tripping, dog. But then again, there's a reason we call him King James. Only Norman Powell recently had to learn the hard way. Seven, eight minutes left to finish this ball game out.

SPEAKER_2 (3:54)

Robert Covington who just handed off the power. Who tried to slide the ball, recaptured by LeBron James.

SPEAKER_1 (4:05)

Whoa, that block was cold-blooded. James is trying to prove once and for all why there's only one real team in Los Angeles. Sorry Clippers. However, that's not to say LeBron doesn't like to share. You just gotta be his teammate. In which case, he will do whatever it takes to put you in position to succeed. Because at the end of the day, my man just wants to win. Just ask his teammate, Juan Toscano Anderson.

SPEAKER_4 (4:31)

In the game, in Atlanta, Lakers getting a ton of points. The paint that's turning that way tonight, Juan Toscano.

SPEAKER_1 (4:38)

Meanwhile, the other half of the time, you gotta go put in the work. Because there are times you can dilly dally, and there are times you gotta win the war in the trenches.

SPEAKER_2 (4:46)

A couple of number 35, squaring up.

SPEAKER_1 (4:58)

How this man gonna pull off a spin move, Euro step, and draw an A in one, all in one play? That's next level. But not as next level as moment 13, cause LeBron be playing jazz, while other players be playing rock and roll.
