He wasn't given the nickname The Chosen One in HS because people thought he'd be great. They gave it to him because they thought he'd be the greatest. I don't think many people sat there and debated what his numbers would look like in the NBA, but they sat there and told themselves he would be a freak of nature-- something we've NEVER seen before. As crazy as it sounds, I would say he hasn't lived up to the hype before I'd said he's destroyed it. I think some people expected him to have a ring by now, and that's the only downfall. Which isn't a big one when you're only 25.

They are stats they can be looked up--not every stat is put right on the surface for you by ESPN.
