I guess he was a terrible captain too.

Not terrible by any means, but I do think his captaincy is somewhat overrated. I recall more than a few years of listless defensive effort and lack of coaching buy-in, that I'm sure filtered down to the rest of the team. The waning team effort and consistently poor results in games that mattered also has to be taken into consideration.
Great player, and a greater person. But great captain? I'm not so sure.
