Sorry, I completely disagree. Team sports are just that, team sports. How many titles would Jordan have won without Scottie Pippen? Was Steph Curry better this year than last year and Lebron worse or was it adding Kevin Durant that made a difference? Would the Rockets have four titles with just Cynthia Cooper and no Sheryl Swoopes or Tina Thompson? Ted Williams never won a World Series but was still a much, much better hitter than Joe DiMaggio. Indiana hasn't won a title, does that make Tamika Catchings any less of a player?

Teammates always matter, especially when a player's performance is relatively stable and consistent. Even with a truly transcendent player, a team still needs at least two other really good to great players to be a great team. You need players that can be led to victory and players that have a "best" that can be brought out that's good enough to win games.

By the way, this is me being intellectually consistent :)
