LB didn't come into the league clean and crisp. He didn't have the 'darling' image and America and the World didn't embrace him that way either. He played what they told him to play. He came into the league w/ the arrogant 'King' image, the big deals, the white suits, etc. etc. This in itself spurns a lot of people. What's worst is that he continued this image and worsened it with the "Decision".
You're right, he didn't. But I think the '07 Finals run changed that. Then taking the Celtics to 7 in '08. I mean...that '09 MVPuppets LeBron was basically the most liked player on the most liked team in the L. Yeah, people expected Kobe vs. Bron in the Finals and when it didn't happen, slander flew. And then the next year with the elbow and deferring OD in the 4th brought more slander.
But basically everyone wanted him on their team come that summer.
