Marcus Thompson of The Athletic shares his opinion on the Warriors' chances with Lebron James, the team's potential backup plan, and the World Cup. We discuss his thoughts on the recent column about Yaxel Lendeborg, highlighting the challenges of projecting a player's ceiling, especially when they enter the league at 19 or 20. He also discusses the importance of mentality in a player's success, citing Yaxel's mother as a key factor in his development. Marcus also weighs in on the idea that players are often limited by their age, and how this affects their potential for growth.
