- Arrogant: The Boss constantly taunts the Black Mamba when he believes that he is in control.
- Cold-Hearted/Ruthless: The Boss would not hesitate to order his minions to push the referee away from the roof of a tall building. The Boss later does the same thing on the Black Mamba.
- Short-Tempered: The Boss easily becomes inpatient once the Black Mamba shows his outstanding basketball skill.
