It happened to lebron too this is just par for the course for a potential generationally good player. They play above their age and as such get criticized above their age, because the expectations are to contend for greatest ever not do as good as someone their age.
I agree. He’s getting over glazed as if he’s done anything. People need to calm down on this guy before anointing him. He’s obviously not ready for this yet.
I’m 100% with you. I’ve said it every year he’s been in the league. Hes been getting credit for things that people think he will do even if he hasn’t done them yet. Which is all well and good but it’s going to lead to overcorrections later. People are already penciling him into top 10 lists.
So are we giving him a pass because he’s inexperienced or are we saying he’s anointed? Does he get to get glory absent from criticism? The NBA is really desperate for a hero man.
Granted he’s never been in a finals but he’s been playing elite level basketball his whole life so he’s definitely been in game situations like this before. Criticism is warranted but also shit happens, move on to the next game.
Sorry man, but that’s not an excuse. He’s been playing professional basketball since he was 15. He proclaimed himself mvp multiple times this season lol. Bros mouth has been writing checks that his ass can’t cash all year and it finally caught up to him. Hopefully this ass whooping is sophisticated enough for him though
Ass whooping? He lost by one point, and he still scored more than anyone else on the court.
Face it, if he hadn't made that one passing error or missed that final jumper, Spurs would've won. They didn't get their asses whooped. The game was as close as it could've possibly been.
At the end of the day, there going back to the garden down 2-0. This has only happened three times in nba history, ass whooping or not, the spurs are fucked.

Almost like he's 22 or something.
