You need players as such to win the title. You can have you 1-2 superstars, but w/o ROLE PLAYERS, you aren't going to win titles.
See: Rockets, Bulls, Lakers, Spurs, Pistons, Heat; I can keep going....
Yup. Great role players are crucial.
The Heat probably wouldn't have won the championship without Haslem's D on Dirk in the 2006 Finals.
Spurs would of probably lost to the Pistons in the 2005 finals, without Robert Horry's game winning 3 in game 5.
