You know as well as I do that some players put their own statistics ahead of the success of the team. I happen to think that will be more prevalent in a situation where the team is only a temporary stopping place and where winning is secondary to development.

A temporary stopping place? Do you mean like High School, or College which are for a few years, or are you talking about the pro players that are working their way up the ladder together? I had some teammates for upwards of 6 years, and if I had been a better player, I would have had some of them for about 10-12 years.

Some players do put their stats as the #1 priority. Usually it is the parents doing it in Little League, Pony League, High School and College. In pro ball if you act up, you get hit in the wallet.
