It’s pretty self-explanatory. He’s telling fans not to get mad about something that has no impact on them. He wants them to think about the things that are important to them and then try to enjoy those things.

Why are fans mad Carmelo Anthony stayed with the Thunder?
By opting in to the deal, Anthony will make a little under $28 million with the Thunder next season. That’s a significant part of the Thunder’s payroll, and some fans don’t think Anthony is worth it. The 34-year-old averaged a career-low 16.2 points in 2018.
