Do basketballers overrate having 'a bag' or overrate players that can do things they cannot do? (alien.top)

I feel like current and ex-players downplay some players who don't have a bag like Giannis and then blow smoke up Kyrie's or even DeRozan's ass. I was reading a similar thing regarding footballers, how many of them rate Neymar a lot because of a similar reason (he can do things they cannot do).

Big time. Having a bag is incredible in isolation and great for stars, but what more valuable, Lou Williams bag or Shane Battiers defense? Having an aesthetically pleasing game is wonderful, but it doesn’t drive winning like other things do. There’s 1 ball, and unless you’re the star you have to be able to provide value without it.
