Because of his family background, he is different from ordinary black people. He has had the ideal of being a hero since high school (Zen Master said that when he was in high school, he would deliberately make the game suspense, and then take over and turn the tide himself). When I was young, I was inevitably aloof and ambitious, and I wasn't very good at hiding it.

His most typical character is, "Whatever other people say about me, I will immediately go in the opposite direction to show you." Paranoid, but always trying to hide it.

For example, people say that he imitates Jordan from his movements to his celebration postures, but he insists that he does not imitate Jordan.

People say that Shark is the boss of the Lakers, and he wants to challenge Shark's authority.

People said he couldn’t defend, so he practiced defense (1999); people said he couldn’t jump, so he practiced jumper (2001); people criticized him for not being strong enough, so he immediately stepped up. 7 kg body weight (2002).

People said he took too many shots, but he didn’t take any shots for half a game (2003-04 season); Barkley criticized him for only having 2 assists in the game when he scored 81 points, and then he racked up assists a month later. .

So this is how most of his mistakes were made. He was always a little willful and wanted to be a hero, but in his early years he was particularly sensitive to media opinions. He put on an "I don't care" expression but acted like he cared. So it often seems like I'm using too much force. And he is not a talented actor like Shark, so he is not very tactful in dealing with the media and maintaining his public image.

After 2008, it gradually matured. He also appears to be very decent and smart in dealing with others. But its edge has actually remained unchanged. After winning the championship in 2010, he said: "I have one more ring than a shark... You know who I am, I haven't forgotten anything."

He really hasn't forgotten anything. .

After 48 points yesterday, "Not bad for the seventh player in the league, huh?" This is a complaint about ESPN ranking seventh in the league, which is similar to the Sharks. It's similar to hearing someone say in 2004 that he was shooting too many shots and deciding not to take any shots in the half. It's similar to being told by Barkley in 2006 that he was saying he was shooting too many shots and so he only started shooting after getting 5 assists in the half. It's the same.

Inside, this person is paranoid and competitive, even sometimes narrow-minded. This character made him many enemies and was an obstacle in his career before 2007. It has always hindered his personal team achievements. But in terms of personal achievements, it is also this temper that makes him believe that training can change everything. He believes in individual efforts without resorting to external matters such as seeking teammates and improving the team. He is a warrior who sees every possible obstacle as a challenge. Even training with injuries is considered one of his challenges. He will never allow himself to be defeated by anything. He will imagine everything as an opponent, and then try his best to show it to you
