Sometimes all it takes to motivate someone is a little disrespect. Michael Jordan was the posterchild for that, instantly creating a classic meme with his “I took that personally” line from Netflix’s The Last Dance documentary. Tom Brady was similarly motivated to become the greatest quarterback in the history of the sport when he fell to the sixth round of the draft.
The most recent such example, Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, might be the new model for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott after a recent CBS Sports article labeled him as the most overrated QB in the league.
