Experience is a tremendous benefit in life. If you haven’t been there, act as if you have. Whether you’re on a first date, in a job interview, or driving a car for the first time, having experience in that situation will be an asset. Those same principles translate in the NBA.

On the other hand, talent is likely a bigger one. Realistically, it doesn’t matter how many times you’ve done something if you’re just not good at it.

You might get better, but you’ll always be at a disadvantage compared to someone with a natural gift. 

Teams with championship aspirations need experience, but they need talent first. For example, look at the New Orleans Pelicans.
