every great player wants to win a ring - but it's a team sport and there's so many ingredients that go into winning a title. That some of the greats never won one doesn't necessarily mean they didn't "have what it takes" to win - they just may not have been as fortunate as others to play on an all-time great team.

So cats were criticized - yes - but it was never like 'oh Barkley's not great unless he wins!" like it is now.
