Yes... Remember, He's was playing against high school kids that were 16 and 17 also. I dont doubt he's a good if not great High School player, BUT..?

Lebron will have to prove that, one way or the other.
Lots of players have come to the NBA with lots of hype, and more than a few have become nothing more than role players.
Remember Christian Laettner, the god of college basketball, with all those miraculous shots for Duke in the NCAA tournaments?
Well, when he came to the NBA, he thought he didn't have to work at all to be in the NBA.....
and now, he's nothing more than a piece of sh*t
You ought to hear the fans of Minnesota -- who have lustily booed his lazy ™™™™™ off the courts.
And don't forget about Grant Hill, who has never lived up to the hype. Yes, he's been injured.
But, he still got paid over $100M

what do u expect, an MVP, scoring title? the guy is a rookie and will struggle, but he wil be a riot to watch and hes got the talent that on certain nights he will wow us, just like a young jordan did when the bulls sucked.

Lebron is doing what the Cavs want --- selling season tickets and filling the arena for next year!
No matter how talented Lebron may be, it will be easy to play Cleveland, who had very little talent
Look at the early Jordan years....you let Jordan score 40 on 35+ shots, you shut down everyone else, and you win.

Lebron has proven his talent so far. Without him, starting the year with 3 consecutive road games against western playoff teams would have lost by 35 a game instead of 10. They need to get rid of Davis and try to get a shooter like Allan Houston

The Jury is still out on Lebron. Give him about 40 games and then you can say if he is over rated or not.
As far as getting rid of Ricky Davis for a guy like Houston, all Houston does is shoot, shoot and shoot. No defense at all, no assists at all, no rebounds at all. You are looking to get rid of one shooter for another. Won't work.

right now, and it's only 3-4 games into the season, Lebron is worth the money for the Cavs organization.
He has so far, in 3-4 games, outshone every other star in their rookie debuts, including Kobe, T-Mac, Garnett, etc.
Tremendous talent.....but let's not put him where his high school jersey is currently at -- the Hall of Fame
we'll see if he has a Kobe-like incident or a Jay Williams-like incident along the way
