LeBron James is no longer the best player in the world
There have been whispers of LeBron James’ demise after five games this season. I wish I was making this up.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst slightly touched on just that in a column last week. Although, after five games in a new season, that’s not a fair assessment.
LeBron is averaging 23 points with six assists and six rebounds per game. Many are out to make it seem as if LeBron James has fallen off the face of the NBA world. That simply isn’t the case. LeBron is still good, the Cavs will prove to be good — eventually — and this slow start will soon be forgotten.
