Still climbing that hill huh.  Unbelievable.

I mean, couldn't the argument be made, that BY MAKING THE CALL the refs would be deciding the game, not the players?

He's a tool.  And people wonder why Jordan is so beloved for the most part while Lebron is a lightning rod. 

This is part of the reason.  Whiny crap like this.

Is Jordan beloved?  Every report I've ever read about him was about how much of a an a hole he was, how most of his teammates despised him, how he basically has no friends from his time in the sport, etc.  The media definitely has created a mystique and legend about Jordan more than any other player, but I don't think beloved is the right word to use with Jordan.  Magic is beloved, Jordan is not.

Didn't realize how far New Orleans had fallen.  I was really hoping the lakers would be swapping out a high pick for a low one.

Yeah, he is.  I guarantee if you polled NBA fans, you'd find much more positive feedback on Jordan than Lebron.  Any off the court stuff has pretty much had a negligible impact on the perception of Jordan by the general public. 

The so called "heir apparents" Kobe & Lebron have been much more polarizing among the general public

This is exactly right. A funny comparison to think about was jordan laid on the ground crying after winning the championship after his dad died. Lebron laid on the ground crying for not getting a foul call in a game that was going to overtime tied. They are not built the same.

He's got a bubble of enablers and yes men surrounding him.  That includes the league office.

I have no doubt fans have a more positive view of Jordan than Lebron, but that doesn't make Jordan beloved.  I just don't think it is the correct word.

I don't think he is unaware.  I think he knows exactly what he is doing.

Revered?  Adulated?  I think we get the point I was making.

I mean, its really just semantics.  Regardless, Jordan is held is higher regard than Lebron.   I'm not sure there is anything Lebron can do at this point to reverse that.

It’s interesting to me that Kobe — largely a ball-hogging chucker accused of rape — seems to be embraced more than Lebron.

Yeah, and that was even before his premature death. 

Personally, I think he's one of the most overrated greats of all time & was a bit of a snake but that's just me.

I'm sure once we're years removed from Lebron's retirement, he'll get more shine.
