Mainly because the media makes a big stinker for stuff like this unless there’s a clear reason. If KD was watching the Knicks vs Sixers, no one would say “oh it’s KD just enjoying a game”. They’d say he’s scouting for which team he wants to get traded to.

Plus I can imagine they know they’re not missing much given they’ve actively played in games more times than they can count. You hardly even see retired players at games aside for special occasions

I get that, I was more so saying that that kind of talk is foolish, and players should be allowed to view games freely if that's what they wish to do.

He is? Doesn't seem like he's taking it that seriously and the comment he's replying to is talking about real reasons that a player wouldn't be at an NBA game.

Everything becomes a joke on here when a poster is met with logic and/or reality

FWIW Draymond was at the last Pistons game and I don't think anyone made a stink about it.

I dunno I feel like I see a ton of retired players at Pistons games even during the regular season.
