Kobe Bryant and 10 NBA Stars with Biggest Chip on Their Shoulder

Bryant falls under the category of a player who, year in and year out, has something to prove. Whether that's trying to catch Michael Jordan in the rings department or proving he can still win a scoring title at the age of 34, there's always something that motivates Bryant.

Obviously, Bryant isn't the only player in the NBA with a chip on his shoulder. Many players have one, for numerous reasons.

LeBron James with his impossible standards.

Kevin Durant fresh off a loss in the NBA Finals.

Russell Westbrook with his unfair media criticism.

The great players always have a chip on their shoulders.

That's what makes them great.

Finish Line: Weaponize the chip on your shoulder

Weaponize the fury. Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan famously looked for any slight by another player to manufacture motivation, knowing it provides an extra edge. He was maniacal about it, but the trick does work.

Repeated pattern.

George (Saintfan) says hi :bng:

FryDaddy, RockyMountain, The Danno, TheDude, ChrisXVI, BeastMode, Euphoria ...
miss those guys but understand why they aren't nearly as active as they used to be on this forum.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Not so sure why Chris and Euphoria stopped posting out of the blue over a year ago. I never had issues with either of them. I do miss Chris, as well. Don't even recall RockyMountainSaint. Looks like he hasn't posted anything in almost four years. Never had any issue with him, either. TheDude really cut back on his time in the forum when he took his job way out in the wilds of West Texas with little to no access. BeastMode was part of the mass exodus that occurred because of the player protests. I remember him going on and on about how the NFL was going down the drain and nobody would keep watching. That's all he posted about for his final year. Shortly thereafter he simply boycotted the NFL and the Saints forum itself.

Stainfan is the one lone member that I can say left because of his unhealthy obsession with me. Other members were complaining and begging him to stop his constant childish behavior. One day he crossed the line and started posting defamatory lies and had apparently began cyber-stalking me. The forum mods asked him to stop and he refused and decided to leave the forum instead. That's all on him.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Looked into Danno's latest postings. He too looks to have been part of the crowd that left because of the player protests.

Among his last seven posts ...

Like many others I'm still a Saints fan, just not a fan of the players currently in that uniform.
Soon all this SJW and BLM bull**** will pass and the focus will return to the game and the teams, not the players and their ill informed opinions on politics.

The Saints killed their mojo this offseason when Malcolm Jenkins and Michael Thomas executed a Black Lives Matter-inspired assassination of Drew Brees’ character.

Brees has never been the most talented NFL QB. His intangibles, particularly his leadership, are what made him great. The guy’s reputation was impeccable.

He was the guy New Orleans and the Saints rallied around. Jenkins and Thomas ruined that when they publicly criticized Brees because Brees had the audacity to defend standing for the national anthem.

Brees is no longer the leader of the Saints, who fell to 1-2 Sunday night. He’s a player on the team. It’s a tragedy what Jenkins and Thomas did to Brees, the NFL’s modern-day Walter Payton.

If the Saints miss the playoffs, blame Jenkins, Thomas and the media race hustlers.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Maybe you should stop responding to him. It only encourages him to go deeper into his points when you engage him. It's a shame that you two don't get along because I respect both of your opinions and enjoy a good discussion with out being antagonized like on the SR. Anyway, this is a discussion board and people value their opinions above anyone else, so discuss the Saints all day long. You know I love you man! :cool:

This thread will be closing soon.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Disagree with me to your heart’s content. I’ve never had problems with people having a different viewpoint than I do in this site or out in the real world. It’s the basis of the motto I have as my signature.

But when you’re disagreement turns into comments like:

“Pessimism versus optimism.”

Or

“I'll never understand supposed fans that demean their own team's players.”

Or

“I must say, however, I am impressed that you have never made an error in judgement your whole life and have never suffered any calamities that have interfered with your abilities”

Then you’ve moved from disagreeing with me to attacking me and I’m going to attack back. I don’t believe that you honestly can’t see the difference.
