The key word is "can" ... I'm sure there are more examples of a team losing their best player and getting worse.

Does anyone really think Davidson will be better next year without Stephen Curry?

Also, "best player" is so subjective in sports like baseball and football where players have specialized roles. Who is the Red Sox best player? You could argue 3+ different people.

Perhaps Football would be applicable if you had a star receiver or running back. Not sure about a QB getting taken out.

Perhaps in Baseball the first base position or maybe a DH or reliever?
