After 2 Games LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers 23 PPG, 8.5 APG, 9 RPG, 2.5 SPG, 0 BLK 41.5 MPG, 54.0 FG%, 14.3% 3P%, 50% FT%, 4.5 TOPG Carmelo Anthony, Denver Nuggets (1-1) 15 PPG, 8 RPG, 2.5 APG, .5 SPG, 0 BLK 33 MPG, 31.0 FG%, 25.0 3PT%, 61.1 FT%, 5.5 TOPG Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat (0-2) 11.5 PPG, 3 RPG, 4 APG, .50 SPG, 0 BLK 37.5 MPG, .333 FG%, .333 3P%, .667 FT%, 2.50 TOPG
You also have to consider Chris Bosh for ROY. Granted he isn't at the Lebron James level yet but he has been producing solid enough numbers to be put in that little group. Chris Bosh, Toronto Raptors 11 PPG, 0 APG, 4 RPG, 0 SPG, 2 BLK 24.0 MPG, 62.5 FG%, 00.0 3PT%, 1.000 FT%, 1.00 TOPG
Forget Rookie of year race, lebron should be in the mvp race with those numbers. Lets see if he can keep it up!
Lebron has been playing great basketball..not only scoring but hitting their glass hard and finding the open man so well.This kid is going to be speical I think we forget he is only 18..A guy of that age is not suppose to be doing what he is...Thats what makes him so amazing..
The wins will come, they have been right there against 2 western playoff teams. Sick numbers ahead when we come back home.
I wasn't expecting this from Lebron. Hes putting up amazing numbers and is playing well beyond his years. Its still early in the season, but hes living up to the hype. I haven't seen him play yet- but his stat line says it all.
lebron is blowing my mind here with his awesome play, if he keeps it up the ROY race won't be a race at all. and where's darko during all this is he even getting any minutes?? i thought that kid was going to be special, maybe he just needs more time
GUys Relax!! No way lebron averages 20 this year.. They played sacto who plays no defense.. and against a physical team he had 8 turnovers.. Yea hes a rookie so dont tell me that.. but yall are making him out to be a first team all nba player already, enough threads on lebron, By the way we can look at melos #s and say he had to go up against bowen and duncan-- and then ming and cato... a big dif!! Jarvis Hayes after his first game should be in the consideration!! GO DAWGS

His stat line is amazing, period. You cant ingore his talent he brings every night.
Leebron is better than carmelo becuz he has put up better numbers his first 2 games?? Ask this question at the end of the year... By the way the cavs dont seem any better than last year.. 0 and 2!!!

The Cavs lost to 2 playoff teams while the Nuggets did beat the Spurs (well, the Spurs beat themselves actually) but did they look ugly against Houston or what? So much hate.

Ask this question at the end of the year... By the way the cavs dont seem any better than last year.. 0 and 2!!!</div> I'll be asking you that very question, you can count on it. Carmelo has loads of talent and i like his game a lot, but Lebron has the upside. Yes his team is 0-2 but look at who they have played. Lebron does everything while hes out there. Hes there for the rebounds, assists, and is no longer shooting 30% Denver also has a better team with many veterans helping. Im looking foward to the rivalry between the two players.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting SuperDirkFan:</div><div class="quote_post">and where's darko during all this is he even getting any minutes?? i thought that kid was going to be special, maybe he just needs more time</div> Darko was drafted as a project player, I don't think we'll see him make an impact til at least next season, probably longer. For now Detroit's frontline is more than strong enough, but he's a pretty special talent to go ahead of Carmelo on a team that needs a scoring punch.

Camby cant shoot, and voshon is averagin 6 a game.. hes the only scorer.. and that puts a lot pressure on a damn rookie He also went up against 2 good defensive teams.. At least lebron has scorers.. Bremer, boozer, miles , z , and davis can all average 10 a game easily!!! Why dont people comment on lebrons .14 three point % or his 5 turnovers a game?? I mean yea ill give him praise.. but u can also point out the bad
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting King James:</div><div class="quote_post">LeBron had to deal with Doug Christie and Shawn Marion grizzdude, so do your homework.</div> dont forget JJ he D'd up pretty good
LeBron has been shooting 50+ foot bombs at the end of quarters too, that does not help your %, but he does not care. Look at all of their shooting %'s, Bron overall is the one that is shooting better than Wade and Anthony. So the Cavs suck, but now we have 5 guys that can score easily, will you make up your freakin' mind? I won't take much more from you, I am losing patience with you and how you ruin threads. <font color="Red">Get your act together immediately.</font>

Quit making stuff up.Lebron is a rookie PG...They are turn the ball over thats just the way it goes.His style of play means he will sometimes turn the ball over.Melo had 8 turnovers last night as well Stop acting like the Kings and the Suns are terrible defensive teams..Doug Christie is one of the best defenders for his position....Shawn Marion plays strong defence as well.Lebron's size causes match-up problems for other teams.. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Did you watch the nuggets game??

He is a pretty good player..and a very good PG...He has improved the Nuggets...and I'm guessing by your comments you havn't seen the Nuggets this year.Melo is not the only good player on their team as much as you like to think so...Good role players with good vets....You are talking about pressure? Lebron is under more pressure than anyone in the NBA...He was the 1st pick alot of people expected big things and so far he has produced and showed everyone his talents against two excellent teams. Also the Cavs were on the road to the Kings and Suns..two are the toughest places to win in the NBA...The Nuggets were at home against the Spurs who were playing their 2nd game of a back to back..without injuried point guard Tony Parker...Anthony Carter also got injuried as well...You will struggle when both of your PG's are out of the game..

I was in the hospital. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting grizzoistight:</div><div class="quote_post">and that puts a lot pressure on a damn rookie</div> Have you looked at the amount of pressure being put on Lebron? Hes been one of the most hyped players in NBA history. Sorry but you can be a really shitty poster, get some facts straight.
