9. Michael Jordan
Undoubtedly the best basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan isn’t known for being humble. You do expect people like Jordan, who’ve attained a good deal of success throughout their professional careers to be less than shy when discussing their accomplishments. This was made very clear during his 2009 Hall of Fame acceptance speech. In it, Jordan didn’t mince words in saying how he pushed himself harder than anyone else on the court – and how he felt underappreciated throughout his career. Ok, well there’s bound to be some boasting in a Hall of Fame speech, right? Well his was 20 minutes of cringe-worthy, self-satisfactory gloating. Everyone from his coaches, to his teammates and even his kids got caught in the crosshairs. The whole thing could’ve been reduced to five seconds of Jordan waving his middle finger out to the audience and it would’ve still had a similar effect.
