This is probably one of the simplest and most baseless explanations to devalue "youth and inexperience" to hype up Lebrons success. Lebron is a better player now than he was 10 years ago because of his maturity and his experience. His bball IQ is leagues above what they were when he was 18-21. Players evolve and clearly Lebron has peaked, physically and mentally, he beat a few teams who are way behind in that perspective, but still accomplished a lot based on their talent. This Lebron hype now is just the NBAs hype piece for a week or 2. The real shock was Boston getting this far with young players, with no clear superstar, after losing 2 franchise acquisitions.
If you put money on Boston getting to the ECFs this year starting from game 1...you made a bundle. If you bet on the Cava going, then you didn't.
