Question: Criticism of Lebron James Justified or Unfounded?

The polarizing superstar has undergone scrutiny from all angles after losing NBA Finals Sunday.

Since leaving his hometown of Cleveland and joining up with two other stars on the Miami Heat, the criticism of Lebron James has increased, reaching an all-time high after he underperformed in the NBA Finals as his team fell to the Dallas Mavericks Sunday night.

James is often compared to Michael Jordan, fair or unfair as that may be, but as the "superstar" of the NBA does he deserve the negative treatment? Many say James is a disappointment because he has never won a championship, but he is still just 26 years old, and Jordan didn't win his first until he was 28.
