on one hand, you can tell he is a very generous man who thanks the people below, around and above him. he knows he lucked out in life and got incredible opportunities through basketball to see the world, live lavishly, have fun, etc. he doesn't shit on people and is very personable. he even acts, often, like he knows what he doesn't know.
but then on the other hand he gets really boorish and loud-but-wrong on a wide array of topics. part of that contrast is what makes him interesting, i guess, but it's all pretty confusing.
