Pundits can say what they want, but he is part of the reason the team is where they are.

In terms of the LeBron comparison I think people aren't really understanding what he's saying. 

He's basically saying that if there are people out there that are going to criticize the best player in the world, of course there will be more people than that criticizing someone who is clearly not on that level. 

Everyone saying he and LeBron aren't in the same stratosphere.......duh. that's what he's saying and we all know that.

That would be because reading and reading comprehension is dead in this country. I saw the same thing coming as well, people don't know how to think critically when someone says something anymore. Everyone wants to spin everything into a hot take, or read something and immediately respond without thinking about what they just read.

Everything is just used to cause a reaction. News isn't really news anymore.
