Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2700833, member: 1329"] Here is your post: Here is my response to that post: At no point did I say that people would not compare them. I argued with your point that people would compare them and then find them similar enough to criticize him for the same reasons as KD. For example, was CP3 widely criticized for joining the Rockets? No. In both his and KD's cases, an All-NBA caliber player without a ring on a team that had won 50+ games but had repeatedly demonstrated they could not get over the hump joined a team that had won 55+ games and was a title contender. Why was CP3 not criticized, but KD was? Because the Warriors had already won a championship and won not just 55 games, but 70+ games. The Sixers have not yet won a title and only won 53 games. Even further, LeBron will not be impacted by the unfinished business narrative that KD had (or that LeBron had when going to Miami), because he won a title for Cleveland already. Now, people may get pissed at LeBron leaving because he's a hometown blood traitor or just because he's LeBron, but not because he is joining a contender. [/QUOTE]
