David Benoit has traveled all over the world to play basketball. And after years on the road and countless leagues, including the NBA, he reckons he has the game figured out: you win as a team.

Benoit, co-captain of the bj-league's Saitama Broncos, has never been a selfish player -- the glory-hunter type who hogs the ball. The wily forward knows the importance of teamwork.

He points out Michael Jordan as a great ballplayer, but even he couldn't win a championship for the first six years of his career until his supporting cast was in place.
