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.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

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.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

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:

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

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.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Those are attacks? Wow! Okie-dokie, then. :D

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

This is true…..I learned a long time ago that I was just going to go round and round with the guy. So I blocked him. Then I just see everyone quote his posts while they argue with him. Lol. There’s only one guy that got into that dudes head. And he left.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Never got into my head. I blocked him as soon as he started with his childishness. He just ruined every thread for everyone else from what I heard.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Bet your ass they are

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Okay. Sorry about the vicious attacks. :D

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Let's hope we can both get away from them.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

I'm guessing he sees me as some sort of threat. Only reason he would hound me the way he does.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

I'm still here. :beatnik: Prima Donna gotta go still.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Sorry dude, no one was talking about you. You are just about as irrelevant as the 2007 Saints preseason with your old diatribes about MT13.

SFIAH

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Is the cow guy still posting the same old crap? LOL!! Too funny.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

sorry dude...

you just did. LMAO :beatnik:

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

yet you respond.... :beatnik:

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

I remember you starting a thread where you wanted to post more often. You have definitely picked up the pace. I know it may not look like we are set up for the perfect season, but I feel real good about what we've done this offseason. If DA, Carmichael, and Loomis fail this season it's definitely a set back but not the end of the line. Either way....you will have plenty to post about.

I know that you don't care for the Saints accounting principles of living off the credit card, most of the coaches, the owner, and half the team, but they may surprise you this year if the ball bounces our way now and then. Personally, I think that we are set up for a strong run in the playoffs. But that's just me. Who Dat!

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

I think you are confusing the cow guy with Bako, Rugs. From the few snippets I see in replies the cow is just straight out trolling and never talks real football. At least Bako centers his diatribes on football and management, as single minded as they may be.

:bng:

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

no ..... its called reality. I will opine when the season starts and IF the Saints show that they can win and the team actually demonstrates their professionalism it will be precise. Unlike your boring and pointless collection of words and phrases. :beatnik: ...... cut bait

in the meantime, hit us with another rumor...:rofl:

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

I've got a rumor for you....Mapcow woke up a Saints fan after hating on the Saints since 2009. He finally read the crap he was writing and felt remorse.

Incidentally, Mapcow joined the Saints in 2009. The year they won a Super bowl. I haven't bothered to go back and see if he was actually a fan who became disillusioned without a second Lombardi in the trophy case, but I don't have the time or energy to devote to giving a ****!

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Uh, how has the team, in your opinion, not demonstrated professionalism?

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

....and your point?! :beatnik: u getting just as bad as that guido person/thing :rofl:

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

My apologies for a personal attack on you. I thought it was funny though. My point is that you seem awfully negative for someone on a fan message board. Honestly, if you don't like the Saints or the way they are run then why do you bother coming here? I'm asking an honest question. I can understand a frustrated fan. I've been one. Lord knows, the Saints can be frustrating for fans and media. So, I fully get it, but I still find something positive to hang my hopes on to help find a ray of sunshine.

Maybe we could discuss ways to fix the team rather than just saying I'm upset with them enough to run them down. I'm pretty sure I remember you being positive in the past but I can't remember.

Here's to hoping this season is worth writing something positive about. :cheers:

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

The cow has one purpose and one purpose alone on this forum and it is to troll. Inconsistent incoherence is the only thing one can expect consistently from its scattered somewhat mental meanderings.

Of course, I can only base this on the limited postings by said cow actually replied upon so I could be mistaken given the vast majority are hidden from view.

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

such a small mind you have....

I call it like i see it... I actually realize football is a GAME... refuse to idolize ANY player.... and call out gold brickers such as the prima donna and refuse to support thugs..... for a game. You little man...obviously differ. :beatnik:

with that... I am quite sure I have been a fan longer than you... POSITVE on that one. :beatnik:

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

Well ... Saints will determine that one. :beatnik:

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 

And I feel pretty good about that. I'm an optimist though.:cool:
