    Kobe seems to be in that category. People hated playing with him. But he still won titles.

    I didn't watch the video, but there is no single player outside of LeBron that's good enough to lead a team to a title without another superstar. Steph is close though.

    Agreed.

    I did watch the video though and it was more about star players not wanting to play with Westbrook because he maybe selfish.

    Dame isn't Westbrook in that he has a history of feeding LMA and still getting his own numbers. Dame likes to share the ball and people like to play with him.

    And he studies video.

    I cant say I don't disagree with him. but in regards to our team, I think the question of it applying to someone it would be CJ. Dame has proven time and time again that he is a number one, even when he was SUPPOSED to be a number 2. So is CJ a number 2 that could fall into that same type of thing that colin is talking about with harden and westbrook?

    Jesus Christ... I wish I could get back the 4:17 minutes I spent watching what I watched. I can't take Colins' voice and smug opinion. I... just... can't...

    Harden didn't win a championship playing with Westbrook and Durant....nor with Howard...both these guys played with superstars without winning rings...Lillard is not anything like either of them.....he's always been a team guy

    He hasn't. But it's at least possible with him.

    No it's not. He has tried several times and never pulled it off. Dirk did it though.

    Dumb media is dumb, not one superstar in NBA history has ever lead their team single handled to a ring.
    Not MJ, not Wilt, not LBJ, not Kobe, Not Kareem.

    Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Peja, Marion, Chandler.
    2 or 3 former superstars on his team.

    One thing he is right about; he has Damon Stoudamire on his bad list.
