I read the article and the HN posts, but they all miss the point, calling it the "Great Asshole Fallacy" is incorrect. One of Jordan's coaches said in an interview, "[What most people don't understand about Jordan is that he isn't there to play, he's there to win.]" Meaning the game of basketball wasn't important, winning was important. Tiger Woods said the same thing in an interview, "if I can't win, I won't play,' he said. 'I simply couldn't stand it and I will walk away when I can no longer play at the highest level." Winners are there to win, not to enjoy the game. So in that respect they have no problem acting or being perceived as assholes, since winning is all that matters. If you pay attention to the media, you'll see that most champions don't just play and hope to excel, they are driven to win, regardless of their sport. Often they'll say, "I wanted to go out at the top." (I'll let the hard-core sports fans research the Jordan quote and fill in the verbatim version.) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/golf/article-1097074/If-I-8217-t-win-I-won-8217-t-play-says-Woods-superstar-eyes-New-Years-comeback.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/golf/article-1097074/If-I-...
