Do you see LeBron James in a Cavalier uniform next season and why?

Yes I do, and many seasons after that as well.

Did LeBron James reach your expectations this season?

LeBron James has surpassed my expectations. I had no idea he was going to be top 5 in scoring though out the entire season.

What did you like out of LeBron James this season?

I liked his ability to take over games with his scoring. When LBJ wants to score, he can do it at will.

I liked the fact that he was a little bit more offensive minded this season.

Alot of people questioned his ability to shoot the ball, and he has shown the doubters numorous times that he can.

What didn't you like out of LeBron James this season?

I still don't like the fact that he is the one that shoots the tech's. He is a really bad free throw shooter. He isn't like Shaquille, but he does miss a good amount of them especially when we need it.

His man to man d needs to pick up also, but playing next to McInnis the majority of the season wasn't going to show him that it is important to learn. Eric Snow full time should rub off on him next season.

Was LeBron James given a decent oppotunity this season?

Duh.

Rate LeBron James out of 10. 1 for bad, 10 for great.

10. I couldn't ask for more from this kid. He just does way too much for the team for me to knock him.

A few last words on LeBron James.............................

LBJ was snubbed for MVP because of the teams conclusion to the season. Once LeBron gets that help, he will be a nightly double double guy in points and assists.

We Cavaliers fans are really spoiled when we watch this kid. It still suprises me that a player of this stature is wearing a Cleveland uniform and is spoken highly by analysts all around the globe.

LeBron James has brought baskeball back to Cleveland. Thank the Lord.

Do you see LeBron James in a Cavalier uniform next season and why?
No. I think we'll trade him and AV to NY for Ariza and a second rounder.

Did LeBron James reach your expectations this season?
He well surpassed them. I never expected him for to improve so much in one offseason. I was amazed.

What did you like out of LeBron James this season?
He emerged as more of a leader this season. I also like just how dominant he became. He was able to carry this team single-handedly for many games this season.

What didn't you like out of LeBron James this season?
His defense. He's gonna have to improve immensely on the defensive end if he truly wants to become a "legend" type of player.

He fell in love with the jumpshot too often too. I always got frustrated when he passed up an opportunity to drive to the hoop and shot up a fadeaway 3 instead.

Was LeBron James given a decent oppotunity this season?
ya

Rate LeBron James out of 10. 1 for bad, 10 for great.
9.1-would be a 10 if he played at least average D.

A few last words on LeBron James.............................
He is just such a joy to watch. I can't wait to watch him grow and progress for many more years to come in a cavs uni. Hopefully, he can finally bring a championship to cleveland in the future.

What did you like out of LeBron James this season?

His ability to not get caught up in the media, his effort on the court..

His D is pathetic, get better! Quit playing the passing lanes, and putting stress on the defense! MAN UP! he needs to Stop the damn gambling!

LeBron James better pick up his D next year, or we might as well trade the bum.

Yes. The ultimate no brainer.

Did LeBron James reach your expectations this season?
He surpassed my expectations. His shooting form from the field improved ten fold.

What did you like out of LeBron James this season?
I like how he demanded the ball when we were in trouble, and tried to lead us.

What didn't you like out of LeBron James this season?
The fact he shot technical free throws when there were always better alternatives. His defense leaves alot to be desired.

Was LeBron James given a decent opportunity this season?
Too much of an oppotunity.

Rate LeBron James out of 10. 1 for bad, 10 for great.
9.5. It may be high considering his defense, but he wasn't pushed by the coaching staff there.

A few last words on LeBron James.............................
LeBron to great strides towards being the best player in the NBA in only his 2nd season. His improved shooting took his game to a level I thought would take a few more seasons. He is a special talent, who with a tougher coach will lead him toward being a solid defender too. I look forward to him continueing his career here.

Rate LeBron James out of 10. 1 for bad, 10 for great. 9.5. Only for shooting all those 3s at the end trying to be Ray Allen.

A few last words on LeBron James......I like how he stays loose on and off the court and doesn't get too worked up about what people say and sports writers write. He supposedly has a good support system with the Four Horsemen and Mom, can we get some more leaders on the team already?

Do you see LeBron James in a Cavalier uniform next season and why?

yes i do. because he is our chosen one.

Did LeBron James reach your expectations this season?

yes he did. His stat line 27/7/7 is just flat out amazing. I had no idea he was gonna get 7 assists and 7 boards a game. That is just awsome.

What did you like out of LeBron James this season?

I liked that his shot came along. He doesn't fadeaway like he used to his rookie year. And his 3 point shot seemed to develope more too. The scary thing is that he is going to get better.

What didn't you like out of LeBron James this season?

His nail bitting went away...

Nah, I didn't like how selfish he turned during the final games of the season. He didn't trust his teammates and they all suffered from it.

Was LeBron James given a decent oppotunity this season?

Yes siree.
