It's useful for me to believe that the coverage is bad because it serves my greater point to the complete farce that sports "journalism" has become. But I'm not sure why you are so vehement in saying that Lebron is getting good coverage?
Do you believe Kobe is adquetely analyzed by the sports media? I would say he isn't. They love him, but they don't know why. And are unable to explain it or demonstrate it to the casual sports fan without resorting to vague intangibles like "killer instinct" and "clutch".

i'm saying lebron is getting good coverage because i view it through a different lense than you do. i constantly see lebron coverage, and i constantly hear about lebron. and i don't let a few idiot reporters saying dumb things cloud the general overwhelming positives. i think you lock in on the dumb ones.
the sports media is and has been cliche driven for a long time. "they" don't properly analyze anyone. the average person covering a sport is a journalist or personality first, and a sports analyst 2nd. guys like stephen a or skip or charlie crave being talked about first.
i hear all the time how much lebron has improved defensively. i hear that he learned alot playing with kobe over the summer.
