re: How can a team with King James keep getting bounced early in the playoffs?

Also LeBron is pushing 40

He's not just pushing 40, he's played 68,000 minutes on a professional basketball court.

Only a handful of players have surpassed 50,000.

There's a lot of mileage on those tires.

I know it's en vogue to hate the guy but it's pretty crazy that at this point in his career he is averaging 36 minutes and posting 25 - 8 - 8 every night and upping those numbers in high pressure games.
