Which of these characteristics is most important when building a championship team?

great point guard, great defensive team

look at the most recent championship pistons team, although ben wallace was, in fact, a dominant defender, he was never a dominant offensive force, yet the team succeeded through hard-nosed defense under the leadership of multiple veteran players who accepted their roles and played as a team. chauncey billups was a good, but not a superstar point guard, just like the rest of the players, rip, prince, ben and sheed, none were superstars yet they all played their parts to the best of their ability to win the title.

the same can be applied to the most recent celtics championship team, who nobody expected to win–and through tough defense they weathered each opponent and took the title through playing as a team and the again unexpected playmaking and work of rajon rondo. i also dislike rondo and kg but i’m saying this to be impartial, they do play their positions exceedingly well, rondo averaging an insane amount of assists lately, although kg is out, the team picks up the slack. players are always injured yet the backups come and fill in admirably.
