    The domino effect of the owners being salty about the Lakers which led to the trade veto in 2011 ruined his legacy and it also took a ring away from LA/cost us a likely Kobe vs. Lebron Finals series. Lakers gave up Odom for basically nothing because this trade was agreed upon so not only did they not get CP3 they also lost one of their 4 best players for nothing. Imagine they ended up with Kobe/CP3/Dwight in 2012..

    The domino effect of the 2011 trade veto is him retiring 14 years later at age 40?

    I respect Dwight more despite the shorter peak for being able to carry a team to the Finals as the best player on his team while beating the best player at the time in LeBron. CP has done absolutely nothing that comes close to topping that feat. But, like I said, the sacrifice to win the title compared to CP's pride to start somewhere really solidified that CP is not a winner and that I tip my hat to Dwight on who had the better career of the two.

    Highly overrated. So many black marks. Also "Point God" is the cringiest nickname in sports and very inaccurate.
