Most golfers, particularly the so-called new breed. Spieth has already been mentioned but I'd add Jason Day, Rory & especially Fowler. Many of the older crew as well: Phil, Kooch, Els, etc.

I bet Brent Barry would question picking Tony Parker. In all seriousness, nobody is perfect and everybody can be insufferable to some degree; however, I would say that if you put aside a few character or personality quirks, you can find quite a few "positive" role models, all things considered.

Also, Kawhi might be a good guy but we don't know. All we know is he's quiet. He could very well be the next Marvin Harrison. When guys are quiet we just ascribe our ideals to them to fill in the blanks. Harrison turned out to be a sociopath... (allegedly)

Most golfers are assholes off the course to be honest. There are exceptions of course, but it's an elitist sport and most those guys grew up around rich assholes

Hell of a role model. Showboat like there is no tomorrow when you're winning. Sulk when you lose.
Other than that... and the stealing... and the pay-to-play scheme, he's a great role model. A TRU 1nspirAt1on.
