That's not always fair to Lebron, but it still exists.

There wasn't really anything to address. It was basically just coming up with reasons not to like LeBron (such as him being on a "Super Team" when that's exactly what Jordan's Bulls were). It really doesn't matter to me whether anybody can find it in their hearts to like the guy or anybody thinks he has an image problem (although he comes off as far less of an egotistical asshole than guys like MJ and Kobe). What matters is that LeBron is actually ahead of where MJ was at the same age. What matters is that LeBron has a ton of time left to form whatever legacy it is people want out of him.
