Are Championships the only thing that defines greatness?

  1. Yes, no one can be truly great without winning a championship.

    Many factors is involved to determine if someone belongs in that "Greatness" category, and everyone will have differing opinions.

    Normally, I would just look at how consistently dominant (individually) this person is relative to their competition and how far has he taken his team to the pinnacle (or close) to the heights of success in basketball (i.e. Championships).

    Who would you chose?

    Of course not. But I will say that wins is the #1 thing that contributes to greatness for superstars.

    That's why I don't consider Love a superstar. Dude has never been in the playoffs. And barely squeaked out his first above .500 season

    And also why I can't call Davis a top 5 player until he wills his team to the playoffs
