As for young Bron, at 21 he's done some things that other "stars" have yet to do in 10-12 year careers. Doing the unexpected can really inflate people's expectations. Mj said one of the greatest challenges of his career was to continue meeting expectations of the fans.
How does a Lebron top last year? Not many ways he can do that aside from maybe averaging a triple double, or increasing his outside shooting %, perhaps decrease his turnovers? He had a MVP worthy year last season with a inexperienced squad.
This season his performance is slightly below last year's. I see that he plays the game a bit easier this time around, conserving energy? And that his teammates matter alot more this season, so he's not just dominating the ball for the entire game. What's amazing is this team looks good with him doing a little less, I'd trade individual stats for team success anyday.
Then maybe all the fans and "experts" should stop thinking that Lebron will average 35ppg, 12 assists, 11 rebounds, win an MVP, win the championship, and become the next Jordan all at the age of 21. Lebron has a long way to go.
