No one is taking credit away from Bird, but to sit there and imply with a straight face say that Bird and Chuck were on the same level of surrounding talent, or Bird would have had the same career outcome regardless of where he landed is disingenuous at best.
And that goes for pretty much every all time great. Jordan never has the storybook career he does if he ended up on a dumpster fire team that never gets its shite together.

mchale and parish worked well with bird, barkley would not have worked with them at all

bird made his team mates better

Maybe there is some truth to the fact that good players gravitate towards great players, thus great players elevate the whole franchise.
They are called leaders. There is a difference between a leader and a great athlete. One can be both.
I’d say the leader makes everyone around him better and helps sustain success.
Bird = championships
Chuck = individual stats
