    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....

    Maybe we should discuss selfishness vs just posting style on Clutchfans.

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