With respect to LeBron specifically, it doesn't help that the majority of the media throughout much of his career grew up watching MJ. They were not inclined to vote for him and allow him to tie or surpass MJ in MVPs (which he very clearly should have done about 11-12 years ago now).

Except that Michael 'should have' won at least 8. And no, James has no claim to that.
If we're gonna award 'should have been' MVPs, James loses ground to MJ - he doesn't gain on him.
But seeing how few guys have ever won 4 (and none have ever won 4 straight) just makes me all the more annoyed at that damn Embiid award last year. It was just a really bad outcome.
