LeBron James’ first return to Cleveland as a member of the Miami Heat produced arguably the most hostile crowd reaction in NBA history. The prodigal son returned to his hometown team that he had spent 7 years with and then abandoned. LeBron put on a performance for the ages and the Cleveland crowd created images that will last forever. Today we revisit, LeBron’s return to Cleveland…

most hostile lol , americans really live in a bubble
#GuruBasketballKieroSays I remember me and my homie was watching this live and they booed the f*ck out of LeBron
Lmao i was there it was crazy!
I clicked on this thinking this was a video of when LeBron signed back with Cleveland🤦🏾😭 W video still‼️‼️ definitely should do a video on that topic as well
10:07 – 10:15 Oh it was for me at the time! 🔥😂
Synthetic Sports: "… the most hostile crowd we've seen and probably ever will see."
Jokic: Dude, I played in Serbia LOL
The 2016 video is going to go hard
Tired of victor wembustyama stinky crap haha need to throw back haha lebron effect and wemby is a bum
Four people who said lebum 😂 that four is going old and never prove themselves in life 😂
I think you guys should do videos on the best playoff series', like the 2009 Celtics vs Bulls and 2020 Nuggets vs Jazz.
Cleveland shoulda hosted the all star game in 2011 instead of 2021, can you imagine lebron being treated this way in an all star game in his home state. 😂
Scottie Pippen is actually better than LeBron, and Scottie's the best small forward of all-time.
wow so hostile!!!
I love this channel but this is so lame as a non american, this is all very standard and tame.
As a Heat fan, I cherish the years we had Bron. It was Prime Bron. I've seen fans be salty about it but those 4 years were a blast. I was there for that insane introduction party and I was there for game 7 vs the Spurs in 2013. Hell of a ride.
That father like son sign was a low blow.
If this is crazy, you have never seen european fanbases
I remember when Dan Gilbert said in a letter that he guaranteed that the Cavs will win a championship before LeBron does…..
Well the Cavs did won one championship and it was in 2016 with LeBron (by that time already won 2 rings with the Heat prior to his return) in a dramatic come back from 1-3 deficit against the Warriors as we all know.
And then the fans that booed LeBron had forgiven him after returning and winning their 1st and only title, thus this time everytime he returns to Cleveland, this time as a Laker, the fans shows a complete opposite since this time they are grateful.
Also when Lebron did the chalk toss Wally szczerbiak was in the crowd
I can't blame lebron for leaving cavs. That team was 💩. The one and only championship they had was with lebron lol. Also lebrons mentality is not weak. Thriving to that pressure and insults were goated.
Sign that said “like father like son” is wild
The audacity to have a sign that says "beg for mercy" 💀
Man I wish I was a fan when this was happening
I thought you meant his 2014 return to cavs
Some video ideas!! “Greatest ring of all time?” And/ or “2010 era a rewind” and talk about all the politics. Love ur videos by the way! always have to get a meal ready before I watch
nada comparado a el regreso de Figo al Camp Nou
Y'all keep up the work honestly best editing style on YouTube by far and y'all are funny and great matchup
I love how "the most hostile crowd ever" in the NBA is less intense then a regular game crowd in Greece or Turkey
I have heard the ahole chant from NBA fans before. believe it or not it was directed at Draymond Green.
I Like the NBA, but „the Most hated player in the world.“ is such an American Thing to say.
Maybe the Most hated in the US, but believe me 80% of the World doesn‘t give a shit about US Sports Leagues. 😀
Go Washington
you guys should do a video on the orlando magic
Lebron had Prime Vince Mcmahon heat for this game😂
No no it was weak lol joining the 3rd best player on his team?!? Unheard of BUT I think once he won other places it’s not that big of deal plus Cleveland didn’t do enough and Lebron didn’t want to be KG (top 20-25 player) he wanted to be Duncan (top 5-10 player)
Chanting Scottie Pippen is hilarious nawww that pisses him off no doubt💀💀💀
When the going gets tough, Lebron gets going
Genuinely I think that if lebron didn’t announce his decision in such the most self aggrandizing way possible and didn’t promise 7 rings we wouldn’t have hated him for it. Also i didn’t have a problem with his decision unlike KD because Miami wasn’t considered a super team before he came while the 2016 warriors were one win away from being in the GOAT team conversation
Cleveland should be ashamed of themselves. Absolutely pathetic. Props to Lebron for being the way bigger man.
Big Z followed LeBron to Miami and received cheers in the starting five intro to this game too
It didn't come close to this either, but I'd argue Vince Carter's return to Toronto in 2005 was the 2nd most hostile return. Even more than KD to OKC
The man gave them 7 years of relevant basketball when their franchise was hot garbage. And the best talent they could put around him was Ilgauskas and Mo Williams. Blame the front office. Staying would have been career suicide. Then even after all that, the man still came back 4 years later and won the city its first sports championship in 52 years. Crazy storyline.
I know teams suck after a superstar leaves. But remembering the FA at the time that were available & seeing the roster that CLE put out there. Like come tf on 🤣. When they told LeBron they wouldn't spend any big time 💰, even if he returned after the personal absolute foul 💩 he had to put up w/ in the playoffs & after the season ended, they weren't playing. He woulda been on a worse team than the yr before if he stayed. Imagine you as THE STAR requested Mike mf'n Miller & the team tells you "we not spending that kind of 💰" , absolute mind f*#@ 🤯. If you won't pay a few mil for Mike Miller who woulda took a pay cut wtf am I here for?
