Not sure this holds BT.
It doesn't hold that only 5 guys matter in basketball. The best teams can go right down the bench.

Maybe in yesteryear, but the rise of the super teams has changed that.
And don't forget, the team that lost in the Finals was pretty much solely reliant on one man. If LeBron wasn't on the Cavs, they would have been a lottery team.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Perhaps if we cited him, but I’m more interested in the spin that can be had with the generic message/comments. But given what Grant was given to say (this threads reason to exist), or a generic twist of our situation, I’d prefer the gentle spin/twist. I’m not trying to parallel him or sports, but rather a simple message with a bit of spin like Draymond, would’ve been a whole lot better for our messaging.

LeBron must be the most competitive bastard on the face of the earth. His games right through the play offs were increasingly incredible.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
