I don't get the obsession of basketball fans to make team performance the major deciding factor for individual awards. I understand that it can be an indicator, but you're missing a lot of context if you let that be the "be-all, end-all."

This is a team game, you could have the best defender of all time, if you put 4 randoms next to him, the other team can have an easy time by just avoiding him on every play. Team performance shouldn't be THE metric for individual awards imo.
