There is an elite class of NBA player: the few who are good enough to be the best player on a championship team. This doesn't mean that they will, mind you, but merely that they could. Whether you know this by history, by anecdote, or simply by feeling, they are the most elite fraternity in the NBA. Lebron, Kobe, Wade, Paul, Howard, Nash, Nowitzki, Carmelo, and Duncan* (henceforth referred to as the “Big 9”). That’s it. Nine guys. You might be saying, “But that means only those 9 teams could conceivably win the title this year”; that’s correct. That’s how the NBA works: your best player matters more than anything else, and they are more important to their team's success than in any other sport.
