Before the NBA turned into a three point contest and shooting from deep, early 20s LeBron was still pulling up from the logo and made some crazy shots

    All the actual logo shots were buzzer beaters, still cool but a little misleading.

    The one against the Pistons was so fucking dirty. That has to be so demoralizing.

    Social media acts like every basketball player who peaked before 2016 was a bum who could barely shoot or dribble lol

    They could always do stuff like this. Just weren’t asked to as much

  4. karlurbanite

    I think I was at that one at the Bradley Center

  5. Logos were mostly buzzer beaters. Also the Cavs logo almost touched the 3pt line

    He used to shoot almost all of the quarter ending shots. Made them at an elite clip too. It’s one of the many reasons I loved watching him and why I got back into basketball in 2009. Wish he still did these today (But I can settle for the 2 LeFuckYou 3s per game)

    All before he went to miami and destroyed his career

    It’s always funny to see the evolution of lebron through the quality of the footage

    Sucks since 2011 he just stopped taking heaves for some reason. It’s crazy he’s taken 4 since then.

    The origin of the lefuck you 3 was his team being up 20 and him throwing a fukkit heat check. Lefuck you 3’s have evolved over the years and changed in nature

    Almost like the clock was running out and he had to go with the deep shot?

    we are beyond early 20s. not too long ago when people said the 20s, such as a 20s themed party, they meant the 1920s. You made me feel old.

    He used to jump so high on those shots. Insane. Only ever seen TMac jump higher on standard jumpers.

    Now he barely lifts off the ground. Definitely better for him long term.

  14. Back when people shot at the end of the quarter

  15. siefer209

    He got so much lift on his jumpers back then 🥹

    When you remove decision making from the equation, there isn’t another player you’d want taking a 3.

    LeBron’s extreme athleticism, size, height, and a 2 motion shot means that you’re never going to be able to get a good contest on his jumper.

    (Now when decision making is involved and there’s more time on the clock then you’d want to go with other players)

    Actually blows my mind to think that, pretty soon, kids will have not seen Brady or Lebron play.

    I was fortunate enough to see him play several times when he was in HS, and while it was only during warmups, he was still able to effortlessly make shots like this from just a step or so inside of half court, even back then. One of many reasons it seemed foolish of the opposing student section to chant “overrated” at him.

    That second one with a stepback from that distance is actually pretty insane

    Me: this video has got to end soon…..right?

  21. Even though I’m a Heat fan the early version of Lebron was probably my favourite version to watch. He would play so much more creative and free and it made it so much more enjoyable to watch.
