This.
In fact, all too often we fans tend to be sluts for success and love anyone who brings it, regardless of what that player represents off the court as a human being in the 21st century. Just like Lebron. The people in Cleveland literally worshipped him due to his special talents, now the people in Miami do it. Over the last couple of days, I more than once thought that I'd rather be an honorable loser (dare I say second winner?) than a jackass of a winner. I don't need success at all costs, which admittedly might not be a fashionable point of view.
To me, guys like Dirk, Durant or Duncan should be the real stars.
