He was so awesome last year, but this year he hasn't been playing that great and isn't dominating his opponents. Is he already getting old?

All players have slumps. Look at Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Both are tremendous players, but have had ridiculously long periods of mediocre performance.
What do you expect when someone with LeBron's talent has to live in Cleveland?

First of all he didn't like the ball so that had something to do with it. Second it's probably fatigue and playing so much basketball with USA and what have you. And lastly he prefers to defer to his teamates a lot. How else do you explain the damning stat of 68% from the line and no 40 pt game under his belt?
He still got the most votes for the All Star so i guess he's not going that badly. Its only a guess.

Remember this is the NBA Lebron is very very Young in the league, NBA players go through ups and downs, all the GREAT players did it and Lebron, altho still young is just experiencing what ALL players go through, and the injury didnt help either, he may still be suffering, hes to great to complain! hes a LEADER!

think a lot of the blame falls on those around him.
The Cavs just don’t have a very good supporting cast, and too much of the burden is falling on LeBron.

He is actually only 22... He's just going through a slump... He'll get out of it soon. Plus he is still nursing an injury

Teams are now learning how to stop or limit LBJ. Force him to go left and/or baseline each and every time. make him shoot fall aways instead of allowing him to drive right. and when he blows by a defender, its wise to foul and make him shoot FT's. On defense, make him fight through screens. watch how detroit contain LBJ for long stretches in a game.

He's not old,but he may be tired.
He was on the USA team,his team it's not doing great.
Maybe he's mentally tired.
