Interestingly, both the study and the article in question don't mention one of the most famous examples of an "all-star team," the 1992 U.S. Men's Olympic Basketball Team, who won gold and led at an average of 44 points per game.[1]

The study measures success over a period of many years, but perhaps there really is no substitute for an "all-star team" when you need to get shit done in a short period of time (as in startup culture).
