Can we enjoy the game? Or, do we always need to compare?

[Roy H.]

Some of the people who were adamantly against the Kyrie and Tatum trades have been extremely vocal about it and they are getting some backlash now.   

Probably why your seeing so much comparison stuff.  It's obvious what we have now is better then what we did have and people want to stick it to the trade haters.

If that’s anybody’s motivation, they should find a new place to discuss basketball.

Why do we need to compare their stats and style of play? Is it really important?

Is this not what every sports person does everywhere? Isn't this why we even keep stats in the first place? To gauge which player is better than other and why? Isn't this why we have All-NBA teams, and MVP awards?

I personally have no issue with the IT vs. Kyrie debates because it doesn't take away from what's happening on the court. That debate has never stopped me from enjoying a game, if these forum topics or conversations distract you from enjoying the game, then that's on you, not the debate itself (I'm not talking to the OP directly, but just in general).
