No one is bagging on him for winning games he just doesn't appear to have as much respect for his team mates as others and no we aren't 'diminishing our sport' that is a ridiculous claim, this is a forum and this is what it's for. Table Tennis as you have said before is about getting together and meeting people as well as competing, we are just saying that we don't approve of him publicly showing disrespect to his team mates, that's not what our sport is about and if you think it is maybe you are diminishing the sport not us.
I guess ZJK just says what he thinks, maybe not always smart but he doesn't lie when someone asks his opinion. He sets the bar high for himself because he loves playing under pressure, that's when he is at his best and enjoys winning the most. That is an attitude I like, not being afraid of taking a crown. But I understand it can be perceived as disrespecful, but I don't see it that way. He knows by experience how hard it is and what amount of work is needed to get on the Chinese team. I bet he will respect his teammates for achieving that. But you can't really tell that from a couple of interviews. It is a little bit easy judged imo to trash him for that.
