five right Celts win in Miami foreign leads by four two two at Miami game five right Celts win in Miami and they're talking all kinds of [ __ ] to LeBron all kinds of [ __ ] that whole game correct or incorrect uh you're trying to get in his head you feel like you can break LeBron at this point uh we broke LeBron in game five so get your ass out of here with that right you're not beating Boston in Boston on Thursday now I can't see it legacies [Music] I'm not doing it I don't think he'd have a chance LeBron James is this my camera I love watching you play some basketball player in the world it's time for you to do your thing hey guys get on my back we gonna win game six and we gonna win game seven I went to Boston that night for that game because I said if he don't show up tonight you can't understand the urgency of this moment right here right now you think you're gonna learn once you go back to Boston Thursday night this is Boston these are the Boston Celtics right they were down 3-2 and on the verge on a break of elimination and he doesn't witness after losing that final series to Dallas I mean this is one of the Epic collapses oh yeah we will have seen and his legacy will never and be honest be honest you were doubting that he was going to be able to pull off with him so was I oh no no break of Illumination right now they gotta win tonight Miami Heat with their backs of the wall us against the world mentality what was my mentality going into game six of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics oh at game six if we lose Pat Raleigh may break us all up and I don't want that it might be the quickest breakup in basketball history listen the bandwagon of the Miami Heat is empty you know who's gonna get the blame already in basketball are their fans that you're going to play a way that they can literally take the game from you could feel like them the fans is not gonna let us win this one tonight yes I mean I mean I mean Boss Boston yeah why do you why do you hate Boston because they're racist as [ __ ] that's why I got close to Brian man because so many people have so much hate in their heart for bro man I remember we was out in the restaurant one time man we eating as a team and somebody walked by and we were like LeBron James and he turned and look and they was like [ __ ] you they will say they would say anything and it's fine I mean [ __ ] it's my wife I mean if she's been dealing with my whole life I don't mind it like I hear it like if I hear somebody like close by I'll check them real quick I move on to the game whatever the [ __ ] for me that made me want and that this [ __ ] game no Brian Brian ain't said none of this man ain't bothering this man that made me want to be closer to mine that made me say man I see what this man go through every day and I'm a damn show have his back they gonna say whatever the [ __ ] they want to say they might throw something on you I mean I got a beer thrown on me leaving the game you know like Boston it's the only place in the NBA in America you're going to have like sure to say like [ __ ] LeBron yeah it was like a [ __ ] LBJ t-shirt I believe they probably sold it at the [ __ ] team shop no they sold outside the arena no matter what through hella hot water he could call on me because that's the [ __ ] he got to deal with every day nobody don't deserve that you don't even know this man right you better than me bro cause I don't know LeBron James took his talents to Boston Thursday but was it enough to force a game seven in Miami Saturday now it's not hyperbole to say the immediate future of the Miami Heat franchise was riding on the outcome of game six and whenever there are states like that for the heat that means most of the responsibility falls on LeBron James my legacy gonna take a huge huge hit if I don't go out here and perform at an all-time high win loser draw had to be focused I had to lock in and lead us to Victory didn't know if it was going to happen that way but that was my mindset and I got a chance to see him at what we think is his best LeBron in 2012. I feel like that was the best LeBron that we've seen right and it was at times where maybe everybody on the outside or even inside you were frustrated because you was like bro just do [Music] if you had D Wade Chris Bosh and LeBron over in this corner you had me CA I'm just making these names up maybe Paul and Rondo right here yeah it'll be the it'll be a what's up and it'll be cool and respect but it won't be any like fraternizing ain't gonna be like yo out of family it won't be nothing no it's real we do they don't [ __ ] with us forever I don't [ __ ] with them that [ __ ] still last today I got respect for them but that shit's still out there but it's cool though it's a mutual understanding we have respect for each other but it won't be like when I did the interview with D Wade that was me having to interview D Wade y'all was the sole reasons that we got together we can't compete with Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen and Rondo we got to get that toughness we got to get that togetherness if we don't get that we don't beat them right we met y'all in the playoffs we feel like we prepared we're ready so serious man that was battles it was a chess game now I just wish we was alone younger do you think you pushed LeBron too far in game five because game six is unbelievable you think you get in the eye of the tiger too far nothing man listen let me say something to you the Seas we didn't give a [ __ ] about LeBron we didn't fear LeBron and we didn't think that he can beat all five of us and that's how I felt but they pushed us like no other and I'm gonna give them credit for that man they push us like no other man definitely we was we were scared of Boston not scared like shaking in our boots but we was we were threatened Boston was a threat Boston was a threat they went I don't give a damn what you did defensively come out of time out dark rub was gonna get somebody a shot yeah yeah Boston was a threat bruh he wasn't going to Miami to be like Cleveland right that game I had in Boston game six down three two you wish you could tap into that [ __ ] more often just when it happened you have no idea what the [ __ ] is going on and you find a new stuff yeah you're just trying [ __ ] that you never even tried before yeah like silly [ __ ] played in Boston so many times the history speaks for herself but for this one time when I went to Boston for this game six I felt absolutely nothing around Pierce all the way to the rim and a tomahawk right-hand slam it's back to chance in the right wing can you shoot LeBron LeBron jumper is good LeBron James you got to a point I was out there trying [ __ ] one leg off the wrong foot the shot clock down through a difficult shot bum Fades off off my right shoulder I'm not even a right shoulder bump fade guy start to LeBron James six of seven when do you know you're in the zone while you're in it like at what point I mean I mean I think I was I started a game like eighth grade expression has not changed from the minute he came out of the locker room tonight and every time I was shooting it just felt so perfect and it was barely touching the neck like going straight through like a like a bird just go straight through the Border foreign we've been through a lot in the last two years we've all learned how to compartmentalize and quiet all the noise out and just focus I don't think he really felt all the noise from outside you're not beating Boston in Boston on Thursday now I can't see it snowing hosting up Pierce turns inside the jump shot nothing but dead oh he has put Paul Pierce in jail right now oh my goodness 20 points on nine of 10 shooting he is feeling this [ __ ] right here if we talk about shot making we talk about skill of 13. this is an unbelievable performance LeBron James I'm just keeping it 100 Man this ain't got nothing nothing I ain't got no emotion no nothing nothing this is just space and like talking about him because we looking LeBron as a great all-around player but is he the greatest scorer ever yeah nothing World watching waiting on his shoulders coming out once you have that like are you constantly chasing it is it something oh it's a joke driving for definitely a drug you wish to never ever you wish the Night Never Ends make sure you handle the pressure with your season on the line there's nothing to handle I mean uh for us it's winter go home so you know I plan on playing those again [Music] Falling Away gets not to go off the glass he is knocking down jump shot after jump shots James jab steps on Beatrice now the jump shot but going in all night long he's got 36 points 15 of 20 from the field he was on another planet he pulls up for a three and hits it and it got to the point where we were just kind of I'm a pretty good basketball player but I'm kind of just watching him do his thing right now because he's just I don't know what the hell is going on bro I've never seen this before what a performance so far for LeBron James chance at the top against Garnett LeBron James jumpers good from out front right over Kevin Garnett I don't know where he is but mentally I mean he was like shooting 60 percent [Music] shoulders backs it in he's got four five I mean he wasn't missing he made it easy then it's all right cool I'll be here on defense getting some stops I'll be open whenever you guys need me it just became yeah it became he he was he was very very motivated to be successful Chair by one Mr to Miami game seven Do or Die to play her championship against the Oklahoma City Thunder LeBron no player has to play Under the kind of scrutiny and pressure that you do what is it like knowing that regardless of what happens with the team the failure rests on your shoulders go ahead just do what I've been taught and that's to play at a high level and have fun with it and at the end of the day um I won't regret everything if I know I played hard and I gave it a mom I won't regret anything no matter the outcome but we had to win this game we wanted to win this game but series it's a one game series now and it's in our building so we look forward to the challenge congratulations I hope now you guys can stop talking about LeBron and he doesn't play in big games he's pretty good tonight so now that's the bid he always shows up he's had some of the biggest clutch games in NBA history it's incredible what coaches do is they see what you do you know and we we defended LeBron well you know for a while the Miami LeBron was a student of the game he was prepared he had learned the other way you don't win this way you win I mean I remember the distinct moment sitting next to Thibodaux and we call a polite and he's calling out our actions uh 21 down they're going over here this is LeBron in Miami in Cleveland he didn't know what we were writing didn't study it and it was amazing it was a sad and proud moment at the same time sad because I was thinking this is not good for us uh proud that I was thinking he's become a student uh he's learned that you know it takes more than just ability uh to win and you knew it was coming you knew he was going to start with it you have to I'm gonna go out there and play my game I play as hard as I can um two guys coming to me or three guys come to me I'm very good at math and someone is open you know and I believe in my teammates and they're gonna knock that shot down so looking forward to game seven see y'all Miami one of the best I've seen one of the best this league has ever seen and you know he um he's helped us a lot so we can live to play another day he played amazing um you know he was locked in from the beginning of the game like I've never seen him before you know he really put on the MVP performance tonight he came out with an attack mentality right from the get-go and that just pumped up the entire team up with a tremendous amount of confidence you know sometimes Superstars get hot it was a matter of too much LeBron he was absolutely Sensational the level of dominance from LeBron James that night I'll never forget you I'll never forget it and that's why I bring it up because he had to have every one of those and he gave him 45 on a night when he calls himself he was on a different level as a scorer down three to going on the road that was a big moment foreign I was able to win a championship that year that was a result of feeling nothing and I hope you guys enjoyed the video if you did please help me out by hitting that like button these videos do take a long time to make so I'd really
