that true. but he doesnt make the players around him better.. when you look at this lakers team they have talent but they cant out it together.. look what lbj did with the cavs.. look what boston is doing with no bench. kobe is good for him not good for others.. don't get me wrong he is one of my favorites and so is the lakers but HE IS NOT A TEAM PLAYER HE DOES NOT MAKE THE PLAYERS AROUND HIM GOOD

Terrell Davis.  Played with maybe the best O-Line ever; a line that made a good list of mediocre running backs 1,000 yd rushers.Had maybe the greatest O-Line coach ever.  Also played on an amazing team with one of the greatest qb's ever and one of the best TE's ever.  Go back and look at the clips; Davis ran through massive holes and RARELY made anyone miss.  The Broncos were the first team to ever introduce the "1 cut and go" philosophy in the running game.  You could say similar things about Emmitt Smith but he has some Barry Sanders, Walter Peyton esque runs to his credit.  Davis was very average in my opinion

Every Denver RB in that era was a benefit of the O-Line. Look when they left or played for another team (cough cough Lions).

                                             Marion Jones
   
                           FILE:  Marion Jones of the USA in the Women's 100 metres during the Norwich Union London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace July 28, 2006 in London, England.  According to media reports on October 6, 2007 Former track star Marion Jones admits her steroid use. A         
                                  

    Five golds at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney seem like such a thing of the past,

  as her winnings were forfeited years after when she admitted using performance enhancers.

      Until her admission of guilt, however, she staunchly protested the use of steroids. :

 Right up there on my list also are Phil Rizzuto, Brian Bosworth, Ryan Leaf and Dale Earnhart Jr.
