    A lot of people accuse certain players of "playing selfishly" for personal stats and glory. But sometimes it's just a player that is "just playing his style".

    I mean take Klay Thompson or Steph Curry. They take ridiculous shots. But I don't think it's selfishness as much as just playing their game.

    So how to distinguish?

    I think it can be both. Some individual humans are sub-consciously selfish and don't even realize it. They're not intentionally deciding to be that way, it's just their natural style/personality.

    Cleverly disguised Russell Westbrook is a selfish player thread.

    The only reason steph and klay avoid criticism is because they are two of the best shooters of all time. Plus they have won a title. When you win a title you are given a much longer rope. Even though steph has gotten a little heat for his year, which I think is ridiculous....

    Are you being selfish by asking so many random questions and creating so many DISH threads or is this just your style, OP?
