As the Cleveland Cavaliers are gearing up for the postseason, many have put the pressure on LeBron James to lead the team considering fellow stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love haven't played in the playoffs before.
Head coach David Blatt recognized the importance of James sharing his experience with his teammates, but was careful not to put it all on him:
"I think that mentally and emotionally he'll lead the way," Blatt said. "And certainly on the court his example is going to be felt and it's going to be followed. But this all can't be on LeBron. This is a team and a team effort and everyone here has to do his part. The good news is he's a guy that's done it, been there and led teams to the ultimate. He's certainly a guy that the other guys can look towards."
Cleveland will start their series against the Boston Celtics on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. ET.
