The wingman

Do you remember who Larry Bird's wingman was? What about Kobe's, Or Magic Johnson, How about Michael Jordan's. Yes all these people have multiple championships but they didn't do it alone. I don't think that they could have won the NBA championship with out there wingman. Take the the NBA Finals against the Cavs and the Spurs. Lebron was manhandled because he didn't have anybody that could take a blow. (this post is not directed at Cleveland). Because he didn't have a wingman they got swept by the Spurs in four games. I believe that the wingman is one of the most critical points of the game. Do you think the aforementioned players with multiple championships could win them with out the likes of Scottie Pippen, Shaq, Kareem, Bill Russell. Let me know what you think.
