He’s 33 and in his 15th season, and over those seasons he has payed about as many games as you can possibly play. One bad plane ride or a bad night’s sleep could have put him off for this game.
I think this thread could use a little push:
LeBron James - Age 31-33 seasons = 287 games played
Michael Jordan - Age 31-33 seasons = 304 games played (with 3 championships)
Proof that MJ is GOAT?

Getting old is hell. I don't recommend it to anyone.
Even LeBron.
This is what a very slow decline looks like- its not an atrophy of skill, its the sudden and inexplicable failure to bounce back the way you used to based on nothing specific *in that moment*, its the extra aches and pains that never bothered you 5 years ago, but that now make you want to stay home and rest.
LeBron could easily come out and have two terrific games to carry the Cavs to the Finals-- but it becomes less and less likely with every passing season, as time and mileage wear out his body and mind. Eventually, he won't rise to the occasion again-- and there's no turning back that clock.
