That's a bit like being a middle level manager in a tier 2 bank and then a conglomerate comes knocking with a directorship offer and you turn them down ....or having an immaculately maintained car which an acquaintance wants but also some ruthless collector is willing to pay 3 times as much as your acquaintance .... cause you know ...respect and principles.
Its business. If you can have such choices in your sphere and honestly choose the path of less gain, then sure,...you have earned a place on the high pedestal that allows you to critique others who place their interests first.
Your analogy does not work because KD would have made more money if he stayed in OKC. In fact he will make more money at any other team besides Golden state. He has agreed to take a paycut to play at OKC becoz he does not want to compete or be challenged.
