    I thought LeBron James averaging 12 to 14 points would be a lot to ask in his rookie year with the Cavaliers.

    I thought LeBron James would have days when he was completely overwhelmed by the attention and expectations, when he'd act as most of us would in his situation -- like a spoiled brat.

    I thought LeBron James would become a Scottie Pippen-type pro and wrote it, mentioning that Pippen was named one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players.

    I thought LeBron James would be the most exceptional teen-ager to ever hit the NBA, but he would still be a kid. He'd still get tired, still be overwhelmed, still have so much to learn.

    But I thought wrong.

    Good article KJ, his stats definitly show that he is a team player and many people were dumbfounded at how good he did, including myself, I already cant wait until next year to see how LeBron does after this year would it really be surprising if he won MVP next year.

    Sounds biased to say that I would expect him to win some MVP's, but I really don't want to think about that till that time gets here.

    No use thinking future, just enjoy watching the kid play one day at a time.

    What I was aying is that everyone was so shocked that he did so well his rookie year that would it really surprise people if he won MVP in the near future

    I predict a 25/7/5 next season for LeBron. 3rd-4th season he should be averaging close to 30. ...hopefully....

    Depending on what free agents are pursued are how his numbers progressed. No matter what he'll be around that 24-25ppg next year. But if he is moved to small forward, look for him to be a 25ppg, 4.5apg, 7rpg. At guard he get those 5apg again, while his rebounding will be at 5pg again.

    He is a champion player, so he'll likely exceed any of our expectation like this year.
