Two very different paths to a stacked rosterCharlamagne Tha God laid out his case by contrasting the situations James and Durant walked into when they joined their respective new teams. James' path, by contrast, involved joining teams that were far from championship contenders at the time. "KD to Golden State is ring chasing because KD never won a ring anywhere and still hasn't won a ring anywhere else. He went to Golden State because Golden State were champions and won two rings," Charlamagne Tha God said. Before James committed to signing with Philadelphia, the team was not widely regarded as an overwhelming championship favorite.
