16 years later and 2/3 fired :/

Spurs had better coach, playoffs experience, better players, better disciplined players and smarter players. Lebron averaged 6 turnovers in the NBA Finals shot 36% fg, Ilgauskas shot 35% from the field. We all know what Kobe did in the playoffs as a 22 year old. (Sentinel from X-men) DESTROYED!

ensayofr if u know basketball and u actually watched this finals they forced lbj teammates to play they forced lbj to the corner forced and basically dared him to shoot witch in 07 he wasn't a great consistent shooter at all and the Cavs ran nothing but pick n rolls. gerg popavich knew wht he was doing nothing Cavs coulda did

Like I said, it was never ever one on one. How is it one on one if Tim Duncan blocked it? I think you're the one smoking if you think that was one on one.

One shot

Greg Dowe stop it, it was plenty of one on one match ups. He either settled for shots mainly or passed the ball. Great defense by the Spurs, great rotation on defense, and just great chemistry.

not an excuse for being the only person to simultaneously shoot under 40% FG with 5+ TOpg in an NBA Finals

Nah. This was a sweep plain and simple. Tony Parker went ballistic this series. I'm not sure any team could have beaten the Spurs that year.

Juwan Davis and your point is?

The series wasn't as bad as everyone tries to make it out to be, it may have been a sweep, but the Cavs were very alive for most of the series.

Jay MacDonnell ???

Age isn't an excuse for him to have played this bad. Had LeBron actually played better he could've taken a game or two in this series

that team was ass they did shit as soon as lebron left

they were terrible

Young Draco What the fuck? I love LeBron but he was garbage lmao. 22 ppg, 35.6% FG, 69.0% FT, 5.8 TPG.

dude they sucked stop it

You say that in retrospect cus you hear the names & think they were better then they was... bro that team had no business being in the nba finals! Lebron is just that damn good

🤣🤣🤣

With 3 points in the first half

The Cavs played a 41-41 Wizards team, a 41-41 Nets team and a 53-29 Pistons team who were without Ben Wallace to get to the Finals. It’s not a miracle at all that the Cavs were able to make it to the Finals.

This is 100% false. In the 1st round, Lebron didn't play well in that series, his supporting cast did. In the 2nd round , Lebron played just above average performance. Vs Pistons he played a legendary series. Vs Spurs Lebron played like Kobe did vs Pistons in 2004 with their best player Wallace in their squad.

You gonna compare shaq, wade, GP, Zo, White Chocolate, UD, James to that sorry ass lineup with lebron and the Cavs? Just say u hate lebron.

Lebron didn't choke this finals tho. He did his best. He was only 22 years old and was still developing vs a dynasty that had already won 3 Championships. Yall n1ggas make absolutely no sense lmao

He sure choked in 1989 and 1995. I don't blame u if you hold the 2011 finals against LeBron. His stats were so bad that they were worse than this one vs the spurs when he was less talented and less experienced so he definitely underperformed. But using this finals to say that's why he's not better than jordan is disingenuous af

Iverson had a legendary coach who had a squad that had players that were well known to defend. McKie, Mutombo, Snow, Bell. Lebron had all star ilgauskas and a good supporting cast. His supporting cast played really good in the eastern conference playoffs. The 2007 NBA Finals felt like a #1 seed vs #8 seed western conference 1st round matchup. Pretty much what happened next year in 2008 1# seed Lakers (Kobe & Gasol) vs #8 seed Nuggets (Carmelo & Iverson) it was a sweep 4-0. The Nuggets NEVER lead at the end of each quarter throughout the series.

@@waylenwaddlefinsup9876 🤫

I remember the only series Lebron played great was vs the Pistons. The rest of the 3 series he underperformed in 2007.

You should watch Game six of the Pistons Cavs series. LBJ's teammates also picked up the slack in that game too to close out the series. The 07 Cavs weren't half as bad as people love to remember. They were a really good defensive team and were able to stay in most of the games in this series because of there defense. Had LBJ gone off at all they could of won some of those games but the Spurs closed the lane with doubles, limit his transition pts and forced him to shoot jumpers and he couldn't adjust.

Blueblur 22 thats straight facts That’s why you can’t listen to everything that the media says I always gave bron a pass for the 2007 finals because people always said he played with bums and that he was carrying them I will admit that he didn’t have the best supporting cast but they were no where near bums💯 if anything bron lost them the finals The most they lost by was 11 and they lost a game by 9 while bron only had 14 points In game 4 they even lost my 1 and bron had decent numbers but he shot 10-30 Can’t give you a pass for getting swept and averaging 22 on 35 percent from the field

@@teejaytv3821 no lebron didn't lose them the finals. He lost because he didn't have a good team and was playing vs a dynasty that won 3 championships before he even faced them. Gtfoh with your nonsense.

@@blueblur2273 and u should give context. Lebron led the cavs in points rebounds assists and steals that series.

​@@sportstalkonly1442 Completely irrelevant! We're not talking about whether LBJ was the best player on the team were talking about if he had any help and the fact is he did. Those guys came through in Game 6 to close out the series. As for the Finals, LBJ struggled all throughout the Finals that year yet every single game except Game 2 was close. They were close because his teammates were playing lockdown defense. Had LBJ played against the Spurs like he did against the Cavs they could have easily pushed that series past 4. Wade the year before practically had no help in the Finals yet he still carried his team to a championship against a Dallas team that defeated the "dynasty" Spurs team you're talking about. Not one of Wade's teammates averaged over 15 pts yet Wade was still able to carry them to a chip. Had LBJ played the same exact way Wade did instead of choking then the Cavs possibly win that series. You LBJ fans have your heads so far up LBJ"s a$$ you try to make every excuse for him. Every time he loses it's because he didn't have enough help. Smh.

You are right, and you didn't even mention the TO. bigz held dunkn at a very low per and points (even through he wasn't that great offensivly either) and the rest of the role players played a lot better than they actually performed in reg season. Mike brown tried and managed to keep the score at low levels which it would be better for the cavs.actually if you look at all games you would see that they were pretty close. So, I do believe LeBron was the reason for the sweep. If he had play as he did with the pistons, cavs could be able to steal one or two games from spurs

Give 100% credit to Spurs coaching staff and Spurs smart defense.

InanimatedTV Jordan didn’t play two 0.500 teams and the Pistons without 4x DPOY Ben Wallace like Lebron in 2007. Way different when you play Birds Celtics and Isiah’s Pistons.

Nobody Touches Jordan You don't get enough appreciation

Jordan didn't make the 1989 Finals because he played a better team than the 2007 Spurs in the ECF, and was in a much tougher conference than the 2007 East. The 2007 Cavs only made the Finals because they played in a very weak conference. If every team in the conference is bad, of course a bad supporting cast will make the Finals by default. This also applies to teams like the 2001 Sixers, 2002 Nets, 2003 Nets. It's much more impressive to take a 15-2 playoff team to 6 games in the ECF, after beating 2 50+ win teams to get there, than to beat easy competition for 3 rounds only to get swept in the Finals against the only good team you faced. The 2007 Cavs are the only team since the 1987 Lakers to beat two 0.500 or worse teams to make the Finals, proving how easy of a path it was. For reference, Jordan only faced two 0.500 or worse teams in his entire playoff career, the 07 Cavs matched that in one single playoff run alone. then they beat the 2007 Pistons without 4x DPOY Ben Wallace who had left. the East declined so much in 2007, that the Pistons had the 1-seed with a 53-29 record. This is the 3rd-worst record for a 1-seed in the 4-round format, after the 2003 Pistons and 2002 Nets. and as expected, the Cavs were swept when they finally faced a legitimate team in the Spurs. had Jordan faced two 0.500 teams and the Pistons without Ben Wallace, the 2007 Cavs with Jordan would have easily made the Finals and beaten the Spurs for reasons mentioned in the 1st comment.

Nobody Touches Jordan and another thing y r u comparen pretty. much the worst finals team since 01 sixers to bulls just stop we all know mj is goat

+Gabriel Morales Hay muchas errores en lo que tu has escrito. Te respondería en español, pero tengo que escribir en ingles para que los otros en este sección de comentarios puedan entender. The 1989 Bulls that I was comparing had no all-stars besides Jordan. That includes Pippen and Grant who were not yet all-stars and just average role players in their 2nd year. As the first comment showed, even with Pippen and Grant, Jordan's teammates played worse against the 1989 Pistons in the ECF than LeBron's teammates against the Spurs in the 2007 Finals. The 2007 Spurs were 16-4 in the playoffs and 12-4 against non-LeBron teams. The 1989 Pistons were 15-2 in the playoffs and 11-0 against non-Jordan teams. 15-2 is tied for the 2nd-best playoff record in the 4-round format after the 2001 Lakers' 15-1. And the Pistons' 2 losses came at the hands of Jordan himself. The 1989 and 1990 Pistons combined were 22-2 against non-Jordan teams in the 89 and 90 Playoffs but the 2007 Spurs had 4 losses in one Playoffs alone. You said that LeBron's teammates had a good FG% because of his passing, but Jordan did a much better job on offense (and defense) in the 1989 ECF than LeBron in the 2007 Finals against a better team than the 2007 Spurs. MJ played great in the 1989 ECF (30-6-7-2 on 46%) unlike LeBron in the 2007 Finals (22-7-7 on 36% FG and 5.8 TOpg) So Jordan, in fact, created much more opportunities for his teammates in the 89 ECF than LeBron in the 07 Finals, but his teammates still had worse production (on defense as well as offense). The 1989 Bulls were clearly a worse supporting cast than the 2007 Cavs on both offense and defense. Yes, Jordan did not get to the Finals at age 22 because that was only his 2nd year coming off a broken foot where he missed almost the full season. and LeBron was in his 4th year in an incredibly weak Eastern Conference. Much different circumstances. The 2007 Cavs are the only team since the 1987 Lakers to beat two 0.500 or worse teams to make the Finals. For comparison, Jordan only faced two 0.500 or worse teams in his *entire playoff career* yet the 2007 Cavs matched that in one playoff run alone. Then they beat a watered down Pistons team that was not close to the 2004 and 2005 teams that made the Finals under Larry Brown. The 2007 Pistons had no 4x DPOY Ben Wallace who left, and they had the 1-seed with only a 53-29 record. That is the 3rd-worst record for a 1-seed in the 4-round format after the 2002 Nets and 2003 Pistons. If every team in the conference is weak, of course a weak supporting cast, like the 2007 Cavs, will make the Finals by default. It was a significantly easier and less impressive accomplishment to make the Finals in 2007 under such easy circumstances. Jordan never had the luxury of playing in that weak of a conference, so of course he wouldn't make the Finals earlier in his career since he was under much tougher circumstances. In the 1989 Playoffs alone, Jordan beat two 50+ win teams before losing to the 63-19 Pistons. In Lebron's entire first run in Cleveland from 2003-2010 he beat only one 50+ win team, the 2007 Pistons without 4x DPOY Ben Wallace, who likely would not even reach 50 wins if they played in a legit conference. Lastly, the 2007 Cavs are not the worst supporting cast to make the Finals since the 2001 Sixers. The 2002 and 2003 Nets had worse supporting casts than both Iverson's Sixers and LeBron's 2007 Cavs. The 2003 Nets are the last team to make the Finals with a record under 50 wins (49-33). Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin, the 2 best teammates that Kidd had on those Finals teams, never averaged 10 ppg or 13 ppg respectively in a playoff series without Kidd's passing. So whenever they played well with the Nets, it was only because Jason Kidd's passing made them play well in the first place. The Nets also had much worse defensive help than the 2007 Cavs, as they were a top 10 worst defense in 2001 before Kidd joined them. Their rebounding was so bad that Kidd had to lead them in rebounding for the 2002 Playoffs as a PG. Magic is the only other PG to do that on a Finals team and he is 6-9. However, like the 2007 Cavs, the 2002 and 2003 Nets only made the Finals because they also benefited from a weak Eastern Conference. The 2002 Nets (52-26) and 2003 Pistons (50-32) have the two worst record for a 1-seed in the 4-round format with the 2007 Pistons (53-29) being the third-worst.

Nobody Touches Jordan the point is that we all know mj the goat so y r u comparing and lbj is great as well
