You simply CANNOT have team chemistry if there is dissension in the locker room.
You brought up Indy, which is a perfect example. That is a team of superstars, but no egos. You don't hear Marvin Harrison say "Give me the damn ball" because he hasn't broken 1000 yards through 12 games.

The winning creates the happy and close knit locker room, not the other way around. Remenber what happened in the Nationals locker room this past season?
Thats because Indy is winning. If Indy started 8-0 and had lost their last 5 things would likely be different. Indy is full of big egos (all pro athletes have huge egos) but the players on Indy are better at putting their egos aside than most other teams.
