Here’s the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporting on a two-time NBA All-Star who knows that he’s got to stay focused and keep that edge to build upon his success. Or, to put it another way, Millsap knows people still doubt his stardom and he wants to shut those fools up:

Paul Millsap is now a two-time NBA All-Star. Yet, he admits there is still a chip on his shoulder.
No amount of success, personal or team-related, is about to knock it off.
“Let’s be honest. There are a lot of doubters still out there,” Millsap said. “But within yourself, you have to find different ways to motivate yourself. I will never be satisfied. I will always strive to get better.”
Millsap has made gigantic strides improving on an already steady career. He has made the All-Star team in both of his seasons with the Hawks. He never made it in his first seven seasons with the Jazz. Millsap credits the Hawks’ offensive system that has allowed him to pull back the curtain and expose his full game.
