    4-5 more postseasons for Lebron is “well within the realm of possibility”? And not only that, but 40 postseason games meaning he is actually succeeding somewhat in all or most of these 4-5 postseason runs at ages 41-46? Despite getting swept in the most recent ones where he wasn’t 45 years old?

    Dude, what strain is that? I need to hit that blunt.
