Anthony got gypped!

Player .........FG% 3P% FT Reb Apg Spg Bpg To. Pf... Ppg.
L. James ....417 .290 .754 5.50 5.9 1.65 .73 3.46 1.90 20.9
C. Anthony .426 .322 .777 6.10 2.8 1.18 .50 3.01 2.70 21.0

Lebron was named Rookie of the year! Come on people look at the stats. Besides the fact that Anthony's team also has a better record, Denver is finally in the play-off in a very competitive west. The main reason that Lebron won is probably because people in general expected less from him. A lot of people expected him to struggle during his first year and he surpassed their expectations. As for Anthony, people didn't expect him to struggle as much so his achievement doesn't seem as high even though his numbers and his first season are better than Lebron's. Anthony got gypped based on expectations!
