I don't think that at all. I think that they worked well together and formed a chemistry that work and made each other more consistant and made each other better.

I compare them to Stockton and Malone, they wouldn't be one without the other.

It all comes down to team chemistry as well. It's not just an individual effort to make another individual player. it's a team that becomes better AS A TEAM! And no they wouldn't have had that without MJ. But thats not what I asked
