There are quite a few superstars that are much better at balancing competitiveness and being a dick. Arnold Palmer wasn't a dick, Magic wasn't a dick. Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Kareem, Russel, Chamberlin, Mickelson, Jim Brown, plenty of Yankees. Both Tiger and Kobe are self centered DICKS!

Edit to add:

K-Rod Dick!, Jeter not a Dick! Get it!

Isiah Thomas DICK, Joe Dumars - Not a DICK

Kobe and Tiger are so self absorbed that they don't comprehend how shallow they are. It has nothing to do with being champions or competitive, it has everything to do with being completely unaware of their actions.
