Kasparov's arrogance
Why is the OP referring to Kasparov as being arrogant anyhow? Did Kasparov make some recent announcement??
Yes, he said that the reports of his recent demise were greatly exaggerated...pretty arrogant : )
Have you got a link to show what he said?
No, unfortunately, I read it last week and the site where I read it no longer has that page available. Sorry.
Don't think there is any excuse for arrongance, and in this clip the guy at 0:30 makes a point of saying his behaviour can be "quite obnoxious"....and also in this video he turns up late, which could be seen as arrogant.

I hate arrogant people. They say that only they understand things although it's not true. Kasparov isn't arrogant but he was complacent several times. The one was in his first match against Karpov in WCC and second was against Kramnik.
Garry Kasparov might be the best chess player ever. But is he the most arrogant player EVER ?? (or anyone else)...
No, that was Bobby Fisher. Have you seen the movie Pawn Sacrifice?
Kasparovs arrogance is largely part of his psychological war on his opponent. Get your opponent annoyed.
Humble is dull anyway!
