John McEnroe was infamous during his prime for being a player who had many outbursts on the court. Some of his most famous moments are his screaming or fighting with officials. His persona off the court was not much different as he was the same brash young man. But he sobered up quite a bit over the years and became a calm personality.
Fans think that he has not retained his angry personality, but they are wrong. The ‘Superbrat’ had an outburst in the current pickleball slam, much to the entertainment of the fans watching.
