It's correct? I think saw a hubris person on the sidewalk or perhaps a little bit stubborn.

I'm sorry, your sentence is puzzling and I don't understand it. A "stubborn" person is a person who won't accept suggestions or advice. "I told him the traffic would be bad on highway 28. He was stubborn and took highway 28 anyway. We got caught in traffic and it took us hours to get there." "Stubborn" is an ordinary, everyday word. It is basic vocabulary. In US culture, we think of mules (mulas) as stubborn animals. We have an idiom, "stubborn as a mule." "Hubris" not an everyday word. It is literary. It is a noun, not an adjective. It is a characteristic that someone has. It is not the same as being stubborn. It involves pride or arrogance. In plays and stories, when people have hubris, it often leads to their downfall. In Greek mythology, Icarus (Icaro) flew too near the sun, his wings melted, and he fell. You would use "stubborn" or "hubris" about people you know well. If you saw someone on the sidewalk you would not know enough about them to know if they were stubborn, or had hubris.
