Professional sports at any level hold a high standard, and an unmountable pressure, especially if you are the cornerstone of the franchise. Being the cornerstone of the franchise comes with expectations, including leading your team to a championship.

Both players arrived as elite talents who reshaped the identity of their franchises, quickly becoming the faces of teams with championship aspirations. After each season passes by, both Matthews and Allen are tasked with winning, but their supporting casts can't seem to help them reach that level of play.
