“No one can whistle a symphony. It takes an orchestra to play it”
“Together Everyone Achieves More”

We’ve all heard the cliches about teamwork and unity. How a chain is only as strong as its weakest link; that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts; and that no man is an island. But sometimes, individual talent does win. Sometimes, one person can triumph over many. In sports, we call them one-man shows, and sometimes it’s just best to sit back and watch them do their thing.

I debated including football for two reasons:
1. NFL is vigilant in removing football clips from YouTube
2. Even the greatest individual plays require the assistance of teammates, whether it be good blocking, a brilliant pass, or ridiculous catch

Regardless, they’re still highlights and how can you not include football?
