I will bite...

what makes someone an alpha male in the nba? Is it mean scowls for the camera? Is it tough guy talk? Is it playing 82 games and not complaining? Is it chest thumping? Is it dissing reporters?

Is it some manufactured standard that you create for a player you already like so you fit them in that box?

An alpha is someone who takes charge, gives orders, leads and deliberately portrays himself as an example for others to follow.

What the fukk is an alpha here? Can we clarify it? Tough guys, enforcers, and goons aren't always alphas. The most talented or best players on a team aren't always the alphas.

I'd say a guy like Haslem is absolutely an "alpha" even if he's not a star. You can tell, even around the league, that players treat guys like Haslem, Z-Bo, and even MWP with a certain respect.
