Are rings completely overrated to evaluate an NBA Legend's legacy?
Are Championships important? Yes.
But, there are 30 teams and one trophy. Not every player is going to have the stars align to win a title. Some are doomed by being drafted or traded to teams out of title contention. And some players are fortunate to be drafted into incredible situations.
Don't get me wrong, winning is one of the greatest indicators of success. But I have an issue with using the success of a team as the sole gauge of the success of an individual. We often over emphasize individuals on a successful team, while discrediting individuals on a less successful team.
As the title says: Do you agree that rings are completely overrated to evaluate an NBA Legend's legacy?
