In the case of Gretzky, he literally made every player he played with better, more than any player in any sport. He is also pretty much singlehandedly responsible for his league expanding the way it did. Without him, there's no teams in San Jose or Anaheim. Probably not Atlanta, Dallas or Carolina either. And no Mighty Ducks movies.
