And that's another funny thing when people compare LeBron and Kobe right now. While Kobe's career is winding down (he says he'll retire after next year, I'm not sure I buy it), we haven't even reached the pinnacle of what LeBron will surely do in this game. It's just the beginning.

Well I was never talking about Kobe and Lebron so we can eliminate that paragraph. Your first paragraph doesn't really address any of my post, which wasn't about pace of championships. The issue Lebron faces is about the image he partially created, and the issue MJ didn't face. Lebron is expected to measure up to MJ, and when he does things differently it bothers people. That's not always fair to Lebron, but it still exists.
