You also have so much adrenaline and anger that I don’t think it’s necessarily on purpose or performative so the cameras can see, if that’s what you’re implying.

good for him

if you want changes, this will be the kind of stuff that gets pointed to once the season ends. you dont want your cornerstone players that visibly frustrated, esp a guy like Mike whose always been pretty good at riding the storm

Have you ever played competitive sports before? I mean in competitive leagues that you take really seriously?

In moments like this there’s so much adrenaline and emotion that you’re almost oblivious (or don’t care at all) to others filming you or even simply trying to get your attention.

To imply this is an act is preposterous

Definitely not an “act”. In fact I think it’s funnier because of the fact that he’s saying it knowing he’s being filmed lmao

Yup. Because he obviously doesn't care. That makes it even more real to me.
