KD and his backpack are really well liked. He's humble, hugs his mom at games and receives lots of favorable attention from the media. He is, according to most a true superstar.
Melo is the opposite in many people's minds.
However in KD's pivotal game 4 he choked. He was 3 for 13 in the 4th and overtime including going 1 for 2 from the line in the closing minutes.
I just find it interesting.
If Melo goes 3 for 13 in the 4th, it's gonna be a huge story.
