We explore the "Player Matter Formula" - how production and origin determine an athlete's importance to their franchise and city, with special emphasis on the controversial claim that hometown hero Derrick Rose matters more to Chicago than six-time champion Michael Jordan.
• Production (championships, stats, accolades) generally outweighs origin (hometown connections) in determining player importance
• The D-Rose vs Jordan debate hinges on whether being Chicago-born outweighs bringing six championships
• D-Wade vs Udonis Haslem presents a similar question for Miami – championship production vs hometown loyalty
• WNBA comparisons include Maya Moore vs Lindsay Whalen (Minnesota Lynx) and Candace Parker vs Sylvia Fowles (Chicago Sky)
• Players who bring championships to their teams tend to matter more regardless of where they were born
• Championships create lasting legacies that generally surpass hometown connections in the "Player Matter Formula"
