This situation drew comparisons to the criticism Kevin Durant faced after he signed with the Golden State Warriors in 2016. One fan pointed out the similarity, highlighting the intense backlash both athletes faced after their high-profile team moves.
In response to this comparison, Durant remarked, “Too much love will kill u.”

Even seven seasons after his controversial move, Durant continues to receive criticism for joining the Warriors, a team that had broken the NBA record with 73 regular season wins the season before he arrived.
Durant went on to secure back-to-back championships with Golden State and was named Finals MVP on both occasions.
