While I am brand new to this league, what I see as success is a combination of a few things. These would include personal achievements, team success, and how much you enjoyed your time.
Personal achievements go a long way in defining success. MVP awards, all-star selections, and position awards can make or break a career. While I don’t think this is the end all, be all to success, you can’t have a successful career without some hardware.
Team awards are another big factor in determining a successful career. When looking at a potential hall of fame candidate, the first question usually asked is “how many championships have they won?”. Even division and conference championships can help a player’s case.
At the end of the day, I think someone can win all the championships and awards in the world. However, the question is did they have a fun and enjoyable time doing it? If you’re on a team that you don’t enjoy or are part of a locker room you don’t talk in, I don’t think it’s worth even being a part of.
I think a balanced combination of personal achievements, team success, and how much you enjoyed it all determines how successful a career is.
