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.

I wouldn't say Jordan's Bulls were a super-team. At least this post is at things I actually said, instead of quoting me and arguing something I was never talking about. It's not really excuses, it's just reality. MJ, whether from nostalgia or whatever it is, has the image of a warrior to fall on. I think that stirs up the imagination. Lebron needs to capture that I think. Maybe he has to do it in his own way. Obviously the guy has plenty of time to do so. I just think it would be more interesting if D Wade wasn't by his side. I really have never liked Wade at all.
I hated Lebron when he left CLE. I really was rooting for him to win there. I don't like MIA and I don't like Bosh or Wade. I think those are things going against him too, as far as his like-ability goes. Comparing them skill-wise is a different argument, but if we are talking about how people view them, I think my previous post shows factors that matter. Lebron can put up all the stats he wants, if he never puts up a legacy of being clutch it's going to be hard to surpass Michael.
