In the history of the NBA which sole player has improved each and every player on his team and how?

Question

Think of all the superstars over the past 60 years, all the championships, all the upsets and think about which player has come to a team of average basketball players and made them great.

How good would Pippen have been without Jordan not to mention Horace Grant, B.J Armstrong, John Paxson or Luc Longley. What about Birds Celtics, Magic's Lakers, Russell's Celtics or is there a player that has never got the recognition they deserved.

Answer 1

Kimbo: you ain't no hawks fan LOL, you would know that Dominique #9 All-Time scorer in league history, was a great player...Dominique > Kobe

-My answer would be Larry Bird, he made his team mates look like All-Stars. He was a great vocal leader, and set a good example for the rest of the squad, they played hard nose blue collar type basketball.

Answer 2

Scottie Pippen : Micheal Jordan wouldn't have all those rings without the help of Scottie Pippen. Scottie also brought versatility helping everyone with their job on the court.

Magic Johnson: Running the point, he helped Kareem, James Worthy, the whole laker franchise.

I would have to say Bill Russel or Larry bird because without them, the celtics would have 1 championship.  

Answer 3

Granny Curser?Is that you?

Answer 4

No, Jordan did not make them better. Jordan was a loser before Pippen, H. Grant, Rodman, Kerr, Paxson, B.J. Armstrong, Longley joined him. Jordan couldn't even get out of the first round before those guys joined him. Those guys helped Jordan succeeded!
