Or so fearful. Gund is afraid expectations for 18-year-old rookie LeBron James have reached dangerous levels. "It's concerning to me that people will expect more out of him than is physically possible for anybody," Gund said. "He hasn't gone through what it takes to play at this level. It's going to take time. I think he'll come along fine, but I don't think he'll start out at the level many people are expecting." The NBA is featuring James in TV promos and on schedules, and Gund has spoken with commissioner David Stern about restraining the hype. The surge of interest began in May when the Cavaliers won the draft lottery and the rights to pick the Akron superstar. Gund didn't elaborate on his discussions with the commissioner but said Stern was sensitive to the matter. "This thing has a mind of its own," he said. "Have you ever seen anything like it? And in that sense it's a little scary for him (James) and the team right now. We're all sensitive to that." The Cavaliers are enjoying more national attention than ever. They'll appear on network TV 13 times this season.</div> Full Story
