re: How do you feel about players talking about wanting personal records and awards?

i've seen Manning get after his teammates...there are a couple of great youtube videos of it. but i also don't think he tries to cover that either. I just don't see him as fake. I also don't think, my opinion of course, that he cares about records more than he does winning. i think he'd trade several of those records for a couple of more rings. Believe it or not I think Lebron has become that way as well. I just don't think cockiness/confidence and humility have to be mutually exclusive.
