So to keep up with your rationale. You would classify both Naz and Scott as not humble and them doing that is an indictment on their entire character?
Well here's BP doing it. I'd hardly describe him as arrogant or having no humility.
EDIT: Video blocked, but it shows him running away from teammates and beating his chest after running in for a TD vs. the Rams.
In one off instances, it wouldn't necessarily resemble their character. Having the same behavior time and time again is an indication of their true character. From what I have seen of CC, this instance of wanting the attention to herself isn't unique.
Yeah, you said "running away to celebrate on your own shows your true character." That's exactly what Purdy did there.
I thought naz just turned around and was walking down the court. Did he go all the way to the other crowd?
What I don’t care for is the antics on the court, the one who doesn’t get named did a little of that and I didn’t care for it. Heck, I don’t care for the Joens’ dad crap even. Was amazed at how Ashley handled herself in those situations with that influence.
The time she shoved the girl to the floor and then was yelling at the ref and then her coach is an example. Most would have been bounced for that.
LOL - yeah... he sure tried to run as far away from his teammates as possible. He got all of what... 15 feet? Then he celebrated with his teammates and made his way over to thank his teammates for blocking for him
The Iowa team had to run as far as possible to join the moment with CC last night. Quite a different scenario
So there are self-celebration distance requirements in determining humility/no humility. Got it. Lol.
People can celebrate however they want. Iowa and LSU fans are both sad snowflakes for their various crying about celebrating this way or that in that whole Clark/Reese soap opera, ISU fans are snowflakes if they have a problem with CC's recent celebration vs MSU.
I also think it's fine to dunk late in a game after it's decided...I might not do it myself, but who cares. It's the game.
I do think 99.9% of your fan base would be completely obsessed and outraged if an ISU player yelled at and manipulated the refs without technicals the way she did in just the one full game I watched Clark this year (vs ISU). I mean it would be an absolute obsession and you're lying to yourself if you don't think it would be. It's really obvious she behaves in ways that would get any other player a ton more technicals.
I'm a lifelong NBA fanatic, Jordan and LeBron weren't even as aggressive yelling at refs and rarely if ever got calls CHANGED yelling at a ref. It's ludicrous. Preferential star calls sure, they didn't get to just unload on refs for long stretches on live TV and get calls changed after the fact. Probably a symptom of a sport that rarely has this kind of megastar. NBA refs know how to handle popular megastars, women's basketball refs usually don't have to.
CyHig is the only one that can determine celebration humility.
This guy by all accounts is an exceptional human and would often celebrate touchdowns like this
You tell me... why would CC run completely away from her teammates to celebrate on her own?
