mj is look at on this high pedestal and lebron's is lower. maybe lebron's will get to mj height or pass him but public opinion on them is what matters and there are a lot of people that hate lebron. and people didnt like mj but i dont remember the public hating him...mainly dislike at his dominance. now lets get to my point.
lebron - for all purposes seems like a good guy. no law run ins. keeps his friends from when he was young, gives back to community (miami and akron). but 1 bad "decision" and he is hated. i dont hate the guy. i dont even think he was wrong by going to miami. but the "decision" was wrong. he made it about him not basketball. when in reality he made a basketball decision that he should have said in miami i will have the pieces to win...in cleveland i wont. then he put icing on that cake by saying he'd win more than 7 rings. come on you dont do that because winning just one is difficult. but for all purposes good guy who made 1 or 2 bad decisions.
mj - great player (so is lebron), but he is not a good person. he knocked up horace grant's fiancee and then married her. he had/has many gambling debts and was even investigated that those debts could have led to father's death. it is speculated as a reason he left basketball to play baseball. makes bad decision after bad decision and still gets a huge pedestal. thinks he can run a basketball team better than larry and west. because he was a better player than those two.
people hate on lebron because of his off court persona but really mj had a much worse one but because media wasnt as big we didnt hear about it.
mj is still the best to me. lebron could reach. i didnt like the decision but that isnt why i dont cheer for lebron it is because i dont like how he always is trying to mimic people like magic and jordan...do your own thing. magic and jordan were firsts and onlys. that is what lebron should be. if he was people would forgive his 1 or 2 bad decisions much easier.
