Is Being a 'Sore Loser' Really a Bad Thing? Vol. No! It's More than Just a Game!

It's the humble guy who always wins and doesn't say much is the guy I hate. It's like "SAY SOMETHING! YOU KNOW YOU THINK YOU'RE THE +$+$ YOU SON OF A %+$##!"

thought i was the only one who hated humble guys
 
I play to win...If I just want to shoot around, I can do that all by myself in an empty court. If I want to get a "work out" I can hit the treadmillor the bike, BUT if I want to win I will play in a pick up game.
 
I get pissed off, but mainly because fools either don't know how or don't give any effort to defense which causes us to lose. Play some damn D!
 
I also dont like to lose, but usually when I play ball I play down to my competition. When I play with some average people Im always that one laid back cat,who turns it on when needed, talks some trash and sometimes coasts through the game. I dont know why, but usually I just cant make myself to cancentrate on thegame more. When I play with more competitive players I also get competitive and want to win, I turn it on and often go all out. I can pretty much adjust towhats going on and play different roles on different teams. When I lose to some scrubs, and I was laughing and talking some BS through the game, I usually donteven get mad at all. Still if I lose a pretty serious game Im really heated and immediately I want to play once again to win it this time. Sometimes I end upplaying one on one the cat who was guarding me throuout the game, cuz I really feel the need to show him that Im better then him even though we lost the game

Afterwards, frustrated, I caught the ball (my ball) as it went through the net slamed it down and shouted "Gawd Damn it!"

There's been games where I do that in between baskets. That isn't being a sore loser.

every time I would lose in certain video games, I wanted to show my rage and yell obscenities across the room.

I can't seem to accept losing at times; I feel like I need to air my anger all out when necessary.
 
--I play pick up games just to play win or lose..whatever. But yeah, sometimes adrenalin will get the best of you and this happens. Which is ok and cool tooIMO.
