Slang for one whose own accomplishments are exaggerated as a result of a strong supporting cast. Originates from Ringo Starr, an above average drummer who is more famous than most of the greatest drummers in history because he worked in a band with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison.
Person #1: John Salley was sure a great NBA player. Look at how many championships he won!
Person #2: But he wasn't that big of a contributer. He was a Ringo Starr.

1) One of the luckiest men in the world. A drummer who just happened to join the greatest band of all time. Ringo was actually the worst drummer out of all of The Beatles.
All the songs he did for them sucked ass; mediocre at best by Beatles standards.
2) Someone who has little to offer, but has fantastic friend(s)/associates.
In my defense, I don't mean to say that Mr. Starkey is a bad guy, I mean to say he's lucky.
