Was LeBron's 2018 Playoffs The BEST He's Ever Been?

Clutch shots, playoff buzzer-beaters, single-handedly getting the coach of the year fired, and one of the best performances in NBA Finals history are just some of the highlights of Lebron’s spectacular 2018 run.

Here’s why the 2018 season was probably the best and most underrated year of Lebron’s storied career.

“Lebron was able to drag a group of innocent bystanders to the finals” 😂😂😂 sometimes I forget how ass the cavs really were

LeBron is the definition of "You can make no mistakes and still lose" - man did everything humanly possible to will his team to a ring and then some.

[FaithfulFumoFan]

This is the ultimate version of LeBron. Still freakishly athletic, played high level defense, outside shot, otherworldly passing, basketball IQ off the charts, and CLUTCH!

2018 Bron was like magic and Jordan combined in one player.

[Hains]

2007 Lebron, 2018 Lebron, and 01’ Iverson are the some greatest playoff runs ever!

This is why simply counting rings is not an accurate measurement of a player's greatness. There are mediocre players who have loads of rings, and some of the best players of all time have none. Ring count is just one data point. It matters, but it's very far from decisive.

I believe he 100% knew this was going to be his last season in Cleveland so he gave it everything he had. The second half of that season and all through the playoffs was absolutely amazing

[McGomezAddams]

Somehow this great video doesn't do his incredible season justice. I remember a regular season game against Toronto, he had 35 points and 17 assists with 0 turnovers, a NBA record.

2018 LeBron is the definition of a perfect basketball player

[kodi]

Wish they would have won game one! They literally had them

[brawniy]

I couldn't believe this greatest playoff run was 3yrs ago

[fernandob]

This man was in a whole different lane. How was he in year 15 playing like that???

[burgermane]

I know Bron is 2nd best if not the “goat” but I feel he gets the most disrespect compared to other arguable “goats”

[thecookj]

his 2018 post season run was the greatest player I've ever seen

[Carlo-zkcy]

LeBron played a total of 104 games in the 2017-18 season.

*He played the entire 48 mins. of Game 7 in the East Finals vs the Celtics.

[andresreyes]

2018 Bron was different ! LEGENDARY ! Imagine if he ended winning a chip that year ! He deserved that ! It was the greatest playoff run by a player I have ever seen !

[RevoZtuns]

Watching every single Bron game of the playoffs that year, really cemented him as the greatest player I personally have ever seen. (Disclaimer this is not a goat debate)

[Wealo]

It angers me how so many basketball fans just ignore and gloss over this dominant run. Watching this run live was phenomenal

[kkellysoflyy]

Should have been MVP. I still stand by this. I also still can't get over game 1 of the championship. NBA refs truly gutted him.
