I don't think he'll ever be asked to shoulder the load like LeBron has had to pretty much the entire time he's been in Cleveland.
But what I was getting at was this. OKC and Cleveland are not attractive places to play. They aren't Miami, NYC, LA, HOU, Golden State, BOS, PHI, etc. They're, within the NBA anyways, small-to-mid market teams who play in cities that are considered second rate to the majority of cities in the NBA. LeBron won a title in a market like that, in which no one wanted to play there and the 2nd best player on his team was someone who the team drafted at 1 when they won the title. KD could have done something similar in OKC with Westbrook, but left for GS.
That's, ultimately, what I think helps LeBron redeem his legacy from how he left Cleveland initially and is something KD could do if he ever found a city like that. I don't know if there will be a situation like OKC with Westbrook, but if he did go to, I dunno, Milwaukee with Giannis and won a ring, I doubt people would look down at KD as hard as they do now.

Very few people had LeBron going to Miami before the Decision. The talk wasn't about Miami at all. Lot of revisionist bullshit on here.

I thought Miami was one of like the 6 he considered?
The others were Cleveland, Brooklyn, New York, Clippers, Chicago?
