Even if he did contribute to his teams victories, his priority wasn't the million.

In fact he reveals this when he asks Shawn which is more important one million dollars or true love?

At this point it is clear that he has lost his vision for the game and is blinded by love, so I'm pretty sure he lost his competitive spirit. And the only time he got it back was to try and impress Sky.
