HOUSTON –– The public litigation of a superstar’s game can be an exhausting process in the NBA world, an endless hike of both mountains and molehills. Even matters that seem settled rarely are. A basketball career is a living body of work, subject to constant revision and with countless opportunities to disappoint. Fair or not, a costly error can change the framing of a player’s entire season. A meeting with the wrong matchup can make even the impressive seem somehow suspect. There is no standardized weight to a winning effort or a bungled game, which leaves the matter to be decided in every forum imaginable.
