If you thought Lebron James was good last year, this season you might be in for an even bigger treat if reports from ESPN ring true.

Apparently Lebron has been working hard on his game over the summer, more specifically curling off screens better, making smarter passes in traffic and showing more willingness to absorb contact at both ends, either going to the hoop or chasing through screens defensively.

This, plus maturity, could mean trouble for opposition sides according to Cavaliers coach Paul Silas.

"I just see in LeBron a different player this year," Silas said. "The mental aspect of the game, it's coming together with the athleticism. He relied (mostly) on athleticism last year. If you look at him now, he just understands how to play.

"His whole game is just elevated now, and I think you're just going to be surprised at how good he's going to be this year."

According to Lebron his game is not the only thing elevating over the offseason, James himself swearing that his legs ooze with "more spring than I've ever had in my life.

"That's kind of scary for me," James said, and he won't be the only one to tremble if it's true.
