Football is trash but one thing it does a good job of is giving proper credit to people and teams who didn't win anything. It's mostly because football as accepted the "Any Given Sunday" mantra as gospel which is conceding to the randomness but it allows for people to get proper credit.

Basketball to my knowledge moreso than any other sport I've come across cares more about winning than anything else. Everything else is a very distant second, and personally it makes a lot of judgement askew when looking through that lense.

Winning is over rated.

More to it than that. In football they emphasis winning too. They put a ton of pressure on QB's to win. It's the only position where they'll say "Peyton Manning has the most wins ever" or something like "Phillip Rivers has the most wins for a QB with no ring". They don't bring up Jerry Rice's win/loss record because he plays a more dependent position. QB's touch the ball on every play.

In general football is more of a team game. You need 11 guys all on the same page. Basketball you need 5. Winning can't be over rated when one player can make a big difference in a 5 man sport.
