Performance Of The Week

The hype--and the $100 million contract--certainly set up Lebron James for a fall. But the high school phenom's NBA debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers silenced most doubters. The teen had 25 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds against Sacramento, followed by a 21-point, 12-rebound, 8-assist game in Phoenix. Hoopheads and NBA vets alike were impressed. Only the Cavs were a bit let down; they lost both games.
