We’ve seen variations of this for a long time with celebrities, entertainers, etc and often takes the form or essence of “Do you know who I am?” It usually doesn’t impress as intended but it gives you an idea of how athletes have been coddled in life and has warped their perspective.

I have never understood why anybody thinks the "Do you know who I am" line will play well with any police officer. Has playing that card every worked for anybody? If I was a police officer and somebody pulled that on me, it would make me angry and even more determined to pull out all the stops to take that down a peg or two.

A little humility in those situations go a long way. If you are a celebrity, chances are the officers will cut you slack if you are polite and humble. And if you really are somebody famous, the officer will know that - you don't have to tell them.
