Right on. Plus, he’s been a galvanizing presence for that defense. I don’t understand all the hate because one of our best players wanted to get paid. He should and he did.
Exactly.
He had a great year going into a contract season. They told him we give one more year to prove you can do it again.
He did.
He won.

And now he's paid. No "I, I, I, Me, Me, Me..."
He was told to prove himself and he did.
Done deal now, I'd say.

He's not wrong. He did everything the team asked him to do, and was rewarded for it. Other players will buy in to that.

I don’t think that’s what he is referring to with his tweet. It sounds to me like he is patting himself on the back for threatening to holdout and not having his shoulder fixed until he got paid.

So what? Why do fans applaud the team for using their leverage, but not when players use theirs? Contracts and negotiations work both ways.
