This was my greatest fear about Kai's career: people putting him on a pedestal, to the point that he is being hyped like as if he was second coming of Christ for basketball, or at least an equivalent of Manny Pacquiao for basketball.
The resulting hype/criticism has resulted into his other achievements feeling insignificant, like as if the only achievement that matters is making it into the NBA.
It puts pressure on the kid, and highlights our notorious presence in social media
