As far as Haslem, I'd say Lebron was one of the leaders as well, barking orders at Mario and doing his talcum powder thing. Things people accept because you're the best player on the team.
You're only focusing on what you see on the court. Team and franchise leadership also includes practices and off court stuff that the general public never sees. Guys like Collison and Haslem didn't spend their entire careers including many as DNP's for no reason. There's a reason why despite not being star players, each franchise retired their numbers. That doesn't happen without those guys being viewed as franchise leaders for many years.
