Dude was 23 years at the time. BEAST.

Lebron did all he could man. During his first 7 seasons he tried so hard to win the championship but he just had nothing around him at all.

45 and still lose...and ppl still wonder why he went to heat.

it's crazy that he almost beat them by himself

Boston was a super team, and Bron took them to a 7 games series at 23 years old is wild. MJ could never.

when 45 points in a game 7 isnt enough... smh

How can people disrespect this man and say he's always looking for stars and shit? It's been him against the rest of the league for so long. No need to be a fan to see that.

Greatest game 7 performer of all time!!!

People always say LeBron choked this series cause he shot horribly and had too many turnovers. But he took the BIG 3 to 7 games, and even when he had game where he shot so poorly, he still had the assists and rebounds, and some defensive plays. He was just fucking 23 years old, leading an average players to the ECF and the Finals the year before this, he wasn't even in his prime. And many will say that he had enough help. No, he did not! The reason why his members get to be better was because LeBron run's the offence, and will give an assist. Those players cannot score on their own most of the time. The BIG 3 double and triple teamed LeBron but still pushed them to their limits. LeBron really is underrated until now, many hate this guy for his greatness that no one can ever have.

Paul pierce makes it seem like he battled lebron by himself… damn near every Celtic guarded lebron this game

When Michael Jordan left the Bulls back in 94, the Bulls still won 55 games. When Lebron James left Cleveland they went from 66 and 61 wins to 19 wins. People don't realise how incredible Lebron is. His 2016 finals win consisted of this (Come back from 3-1 down in the finals, against a HISTORIC 73-9 win team, G.S. Warriors didnt lose back to back for over 2 YEARS, Lebron beat them 3 GAMES IN A ROW, Warriors lost twice at home ALL SEASON, the Cavs beat them twice in game 6 and 7 IN G.S.

Bron's teammates were a bag of Bums. Jersey names should've said LeBron & Company on the chest.

Headband lebron was quick.

I grew up on LeBron I was 6 when he came into the league and it was around the time i got into sports. I went through grade school, high school, and I’m now 23 and graduated from college and he’s still winning... I don’t want him to retire but I cannot wait until he does because that will finally be the day that people will stop and look back and realize how great this man truly was. The GOAT 🐐

Look at the top to bottom rosters of both these teams... There is nobody in the league beside Lebron that could've taken that team to game 7. Celtics have 4 all stars

I really don't understand how in 2012. His 45 point name was one of the biggest highlights of his career but this 1 in 2008 is not as highlighted it blows my mind that this guy was 24 years old in age. And hes doing this against an historic Boston Celtics team greatness.

Ironic He had to score 45 against the Celtics in 2012 with the heat down in the series 3-2 and won a ring that year

Miss these cavs jerseys

So this is the game/series that people say lebron quit on his team? Smh, he takes the big 4 celtics to 7 games and scores 45 pts in the final game. How is that quitting.

He is one of favorite players of all time. As a perimeter player, if you consider both ends of the court, it's Jordan and LeBron.
