LeBron James, superstar of the National Basketball Association's Cleveland Cavaliers, admits that he stinks and that he needs to do a better job for him and his team to rebound from a 5-7 record to start of the season.
Currently, the Cavaliers are on a four-game losing streak, with James averaging just 18.5 points, 7.0 assists, and 5.8 rebounds while only shooting 41.2 percent from the field.

"We got a 4-game losing streak so I stink," ESPN's Dave McMenamin quoted James saying on Twitter. "I'm not doing my job. I got to do a better job."
In games where the Cavaliers do win, James averages as much as 32.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.8 assists. When they lose though, James settles for a scoring average of 19.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game.
After James' long time with the Miami Heat, his shooting percentage has drastically dropped this season.
James' past seven season has seen his field-goal percentage increase for each of the seasons he has played in. However, it has now fallen to 46.7 percent shooting this year, the second-lowest mark of his career.
While the admission of guilt is a generous action, perhaps the problem lay in the Cavaliers' attempt to integrate several new players this season, and all under the first-year head coach David Blatt.
Offseason acquisition Kevin Love said that he is still trying to find himself in his new team's offense after nearly one month into the season. He averages 16.5 points and 9.9 rebounds a game, while shooting 40 percent from the floor this season.
Even though James and Love join All-Star Kyrie Irving, the Cavaliers are scoring 101.8 points per game, which is only number 13 in the league.
Only time will tell if LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers can pull themselves together to rise to the collective expectations of fans and critics alike. They are set to host the Orlando Magic tonight.
