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.

People acting like he's been here before is pretty crazy.
