Teams we organised are best, some say (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mae west

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'best some say' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'teams we organised' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'teams'+'we'='teamswe'
'teamswe' anagrammed gives 'MAE WEST'.

'are' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mae west that I've seen before include "WW2 inflatable life jacket" , "Film star; WW2 jacket" , "Garment" , "I acted" , "20th century film star (Diamond Lil)" .)
