The Cleveland Cavaliers are only four games into the season but the critics are already out with the Cavs off to a 1-3 start.
Some have jumped into panic mode, saying LeBron James "doesn't look like himself" or the Cavs won't make the playoffs.
Well, James is now giving his advice to those folks -- and it's really simple.
In the words of the great @AaronRodgers12 "RELAX"
— LeBron James (@KingJames) November 6, 2014
The reference to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers comes as a result of Rodgers echoing the same sentiment when his team got off to a 1-2 start this season.
"Five letters here, just for everybody out there in Packer-land," Rodgers said in a September radio interview. "R-E-L-A-X. Relax. We're going to be OK."
The Packers have since gone 4-1 and are right in the middle of the NFC playoff race with a 5-3 record, one game behind the Detroit Lions in the NFC North.
James and the Cavs have struggled out of the gate, which James himself has admitted.
"It's tough 'cause you work hard to get back and once again we dug ourselves a hole. We came out and didn't defend like we did in the second half. You dig yourself a hole and it's just the karma of the game," James said after Wednesday's loss to the Jazz on a Gordon Hayward buzzer beater.
Tuesday in Portland, James scored 11 points in a loss to the Blazers, and then preached patience.
"We have to understand what it takes to win. It's going to be a long process," James said. "There's been a lot of losing basketball around here for a few years. It's like building a car from scratch. I've done that before. I hated the process, it got on my nerves. I sent it back to get repainted 100 times. But once it was completely finished I was excited about it."
Some fans want success right out of the gate but James has done his best to temper expectations right from the moment he announced his return to Cleveland in his first-person essay for Sports Illustrated.
"We're not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I'm realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010," James said.
Maybe a tweet will now better relay James' message -- at least that has to be his hope.
