would you rather be the best 1 v 1 player or the best player in the 5 v 5 game?

[STATUTORY]

take money out of it, so no arguments based on pay. just from a pride and internal accomplishment perspective, what would be a bigger achievement for you?

5 on 5. I like to win.

I'm the guy at the park hustling for rebounds and throwing outlet passes lol. I'm chasing down fastbreaks like Danny Green. I'll set off-ball screens and cut backdoor at the gotdamn playground.

gimme the guy that does both

I wanna drop 25 a night win or loss.

I think the ideal spot from a pride point of view would to be a Bill Walton, Tim Duncan, or even a Jason Kidd where the team is great and obviously greater than the perceived sum of its parts....but it takes paying serious attention to realize that I’m the reason. I wouldn’t need to score all the points. Be nice to facilitate and know the team knows why it all works so well. Maybe Jokic style where I make it all work but still take the big shot.

come on bruh bron has never been a great iso player. He does everything in his power to het switches on worse defenders.

Option 2. It’s not that close either.

I’ll even put the hypothetical down that regardless of which option it is, you win either way.

It’d be way more fun to clearly be the best player on the court and also have your boys be involved and get hyped for themselves too.

See what happens when you try too hard, hmm? 🥴

Its a bad trade off because LeCroix is a legit poster whereas WarriorBox has several alts

[Whoah10115]

Let's not turn this into that.

Everyones gonna pick 5 v 5. The question should be,

Would you rather be:

The best 1 v 1 player and also really really good at 5 v 5

or

The best player in the 5 v 5 game but below average at 1 v 1

[3ball]

You need the former (great iso player) to be the latter (best 5-on-5 player)

Guys like Draymond, Buck Williams or Pippen normally aren't considered the best player on their team.
