I find it hard to call Portis a team player, IF you define "team player" as someone who practices as hard as they play, who strives to minimize divisiveness, and who looks at the team goals over individual accomplishment. I think Portis is a self centered player who through his outstanding ability has, over the years lifted the play of the team. Now, though, as age and injuries become legitimately asked questions, he needs to transform his play and attitude to that of a mature superstar. That is what Shanahan spoke of in his introductory press conference, and that is what CP needs to do if he is going to stay here and excel. If he wants to be the center of it all, and not focus on team practice and conditioning, then he ought to find another stage to finish his career.
