    I wanna see what you think makes a player great or defines his greatness. Is it the amount of rings they have won? Is it the points they have scored or assisted upon? Is it their will to win?

    I always see people arguing that its the rings when I believe that should not be the case. So let me hear your take on this.

    It all depends on your answer to these questions:

    1) How did they impact their team on the court?
    2) How did they impact the game or league by playing? Jordan, Barkley, Russell all had rules to prevent these players from being dominant.
    3) If you replace that player with an average one, how big is the dropoff?

    Then, you factor in things like stats, MVPs, all-stars, playoff success and rings.
