Leaders (and even Captains) don't have to be the most talented or even best player on a team. They have to be someone who is respected in the locker room, who others will turn to for advice or someone who will lead the team into battle through their everyday effort and determination (Jeter, Philip Lahm).Many times the talented captain. (Ovi, Ronaldo, etc) is not the best guy for this. Sad to see that Ariza didn't recognize this but don't see this as a slight towards the young guns on this team.
