Months ago I thought Mag was the team's MVP. People laughed. Were there guys on your BB teams that just made a huge difference making everyone else better but maybe did not jump off the page. If so, what made them so valuable?

Yes.
My 3 examples are teams loaded with hall of famers, yet every player knew the guy they’d suffer most without.
Big Red Machine…Davy Concepcion.
Dodgers…Pee Wee Reese
Yankees…Phil Rizzuto.
There’s a glue guy on basically every team
We lost our trap and double team guy along with being a clutch rebounder
No one can remotely fill his roll…. Next man up not good enough

His offense was getting better too - he was more in control in the lane and finishing better around the rim. Now one more question: who was that guy on the Pirates teams you played on?

That is very helpful. Agree, not one of them could fill his shoes.
