I get that logic, but i'd still prefer realism.
1) While this is off topic, i'll answer your rant. 23 is part of the lebron brand. Just because Jordan had it first doesnt mean its not part of lebrons brand. Noone ever said Lebron owned it exclusively.
2) Don't start an arguement about who is trying to be a imitation jordan more. Whats the worst thing Lebron did? He took the guys number and hes even said it was a sign of respect. At least he never made a fool of himself while trying to be MJ:

3) Pseudo MVP? Thats just a pathetic insult. He was the undisputed best player last season. Do you even know what pseudo means?
4)Why even bring up championships? What does that have to do with a jersey number. And don't forget Jordan didn't win a ring until his 7th season when he was 28. Lebron is 24 and has only played 6 seasons.
5) The final part of your post is even dumber than the rest. Pads his stats? He's widely considered as one of the most unselfish players in the nba. He's been voted the guy most players want to be teammates with. Overhyped? Your insults get even further off the mark. He may have got too much attention before he went pro but he's matched and surpassed all the hype he has ever received.
Now let me finish with a few facts.
Fact: Lebron is the best player in the NBA today. His play at 24 is better than Kobe's peak. He'll be in another universe in 5 years.
Fact: Lebron has a legitimate chance of being the GOAT, he's obviously not there yet but it's not beyond the realm of possibility he'll get there by the time he has finished.
My prediction for Lebrons career: 5 rings, 7 NBA MVP's, surpasses Kareem's career points record, is considered the GOAT when he retires.
And just a final note for kobe fanboys like you. The way you guys feel about lebron is so strange, you hate him personally, you hate his game, you show no respect for him or his talent. And that is just sad. I on the other hand, have respect for what Kobe has done on the court. I just happen to prefer Lebron because hes avoided controversy off the court, hes part of my generation, and his playing style appeals to me more. Just try to like your guy without hating on other players.
