What players have 'stolen' the franchise players limelight/team? (alien.top)

What happened to the former franchise player, did he fade away or did he succeed else where. Also what happened to the new franchise player and his team. Finally why did the organisation do it and do the fans regret the decision.

Sorry for the poor wording as I didn't really know what the right term was.

I’m sure Tatum kinda having a quicker than expected rise contributed to why Kyrie got pissed off so much.

Imagine you’re the big franchise star and then some 19 year old newborn helps lead the team to within a few minutes of good basketball away from the Finals against Lebron. And he does this without you or the team’s big free agent signing playing a minute of playoff basketball.

Obviously they didn’t beat the Cavs and even if they did they would’ve gotten swept by the Warriors, but still kinda called into question Kyrie’s franchise player role early into his Boston tenure.
