I would say you could argue that instead of Lebron getting people to join him in Cleveland, he bolted to a team that already had a Superstar that knew what it took to win a title and then needed to recruit another superstar to join him. Could you imagine MJ saying screw this, I'm going to New York to team up with Ewing and I'm bringing Karl Malone with me? I think besides the TV show, the animosity comes from James joining forces on someones elses team instead of building his own. Magic and Bird didn't want to be teammates, they wanted to beat each other. That's the difference between James and MJ.
