What specific battles hasn't he fought? He's had plenty of fights and some even we as a fanbase seemed to agree he shouldn't have even had to.
We can see the pattern of the team as a whole not having what it takes to rise to the challenge of the playoffs and big games, but now we're to believe they are good enough to be team-mates to a guy that attracts attention? Someone they drafted knowing his character and style?
