how often does the best player have the better team?

explanation: in general is fairly common to look at series where a presumed best player wins and think the difference in the series was him outplaying the rival star

so if we looked at finals for example, how many series were truly decided because one team best star outplayed the other? vs how many ones it was somethingh like role players stepping up in one side or a coaching advantage?

how often was the difference between winning and losing a ring decided by having the best playoff performer vs the team being better regardless of it?

for example, we know thar jordan outplayed drexler in 92, so do the blazers beat chicago if clyde and mike are replace by league average wings? was jordan advantage over him the reasom chicago didnt lose or "merely" the reason they wom comfortably?
