Do you find those veterans who try to coat tail their way to championships annoying?

i agree with you too a point. but lets say a guy like gary payton. a true hall of famer.some of the greatest players of all time. never had a team around them but stayed. honorable. but when you are a true competitor you want to go against the best. if i was there and turned down a chance to go against the best i could never live with that.
