2. The Los Angeles Lakers are the more experienced team

The Los Angeles Lakers are not experienced in every area of the roster but the team does have a lot of valuable NBA Finals experience that the Milwaukee Bucks simply don’t have.

Although this year is a bit different as there is a hiatus and the Finals will be played a neutral site with no fans, the experience of how to handle yourself when the pressure is at an all-time high is still important and widely favors the Lakers.

LeBron James is the most experienced player currently in the NBA. Rajon Rondo is an NBA Champion who has been around for quite some time and has played in two NBA Finals. Dwight Howard is experienced and has been to the NBA Finals. JaVale McGee is a two-time champion. Danny Green is a two-time champion.

The only players that the Bucks have with legitimate title experience is George Hill and Kyle Korver, two veteran guards who do play a role on the team, but are not hugely impactful.

This is not the end-all, say-all and you can make the case that the Bucks getting as far as the Eastern Conference Finals last season was enough experience for Giannis and company to make a title run.

However, when you have two teams as talented as this, you are really starting to split hairs and something such as Finals experience could decide a game or two in crunchtime and ultimately decide the series.
