Are Star Players More Hungry for a Title before they win one or when they win one?

Examples: Wade in 2006, Garnett in 2008, etc

For many players, after they win a title. Once you get a taste of the championship and that feeling like your team is on top of the world and the best, you don't want to let it go and you wanna get that feel again. Unless its a gymrat, dedicated, 110%, goal setter, I'd say after, but players like Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki....they're very hungry.

I'll think simple. People get hungry when they starve, so I'd say before.

And LOL @ this thread being moved to player comparions board. Seriously who's responsible for this?

Do you get paid a dollar for every thread you make?

I always wondered when you would finally fun out of thread ideas. Now, I know.

Stick to your signature formulas:

Is the gap between A and B bigger than the gap between C and D threads?

Replace A with B Do they still win as much?

They are hungrier before, but after they win they have more swagger and confidence. They believe they can do it again.

Before. This isn't a discussion. Only basketball crazies(Russell, Jordan, Bryant) stay hungry.
