LeBron is what? 24 years old? Do people still remember what used to be said about Kobe when he was 24 years old? Do people still remember what used to be said about Jordan when he was 24 years old (and older)?
Somehow this has disappeared from the collective memory, but in his first years in the league Jordan was seen by most people more or less the way Allen Iverson is seen now.
The common denominator in all the people you mentioned, they are jerks. Are they seen as jerks by the media? No. Why is this? because they win championships. AI is thought of as a worse person because he has not won.
