    We are discussing 3rd place. I assumed Moses Malone was who they were talking about as 2nd place already.

    That is your opinion and not a fact. What is a fact is that T-Mac has never taken any of his teams anywhere but a first round exit. What is also a fact is that

    1. Elvin Hayes was a career 20/10 player. Those are pretty hard to find you know? While a few players can average 20/10 for a few seasons, this guy was 21/12.5 for his CAREER.

    2. Ralph Sampson was a 20/10 player (even alongside Hakeem and playing out of position at PF) until injuries derailed his promising career.

    3. Calvin Murphy is not actually be better than T-Mac, but he will always ben ranked higher as a Rockets player than T-Mac will ever be.

    Yes, T-Mac is flashy and smooth, but it never amounted to anything substantial, just individual statistical accolades that don't mean a damn thing to me.

    well it's a team's game.... that team did not go beyond the first round
    one guy just took the blame on him
    Nobody could grab a rebound
    Not him, no other player so team's failure

    You are being delusional if you really think a perimeter player outside of Jordan can turn a game around if the team does not have absolute advantage over the other team.

    Thanks for telling us the truth. I know the delusional tofs won't appreciate it but we do.

    Sometimes it's all about opportunity and chemistry.
    Marbury wasn't a superstar (mid level allstar) at the NBA level but he found great chemistry with his team in China.
    Tracy can still score some and play, but he aint even the scorer JR was there, and the overall team is neither a contender nor a legit playoff team in the CBA.

    Delusional or not why do you have to call them out when their intentions are good?
    Why can't they just root for this guy? If he succeeds that's good.
    If not then no big deal.

    Tmac-Yao Reunion

    Yesterday, two guys had a dinner reunion in Shanghai. Tmac's team(Qingdao) met Shanghai Sharks whose boss BTW happens to be Yao. As a result, Tmac got 23ppts, 9rebs, 3 assists, but his team failed again! Here is a vedio clip for Tmac.

    Arenas is in the CBA now?

    That one suspension really destroyed his career.

    At :40 McGrady goes for a dunk and is grimacing afterwards. Knee still isn't 100%. But just wait until he's fully recovered though. He'll dominate like its 2003.

    Probably a cap issue. I'm pretty sure the CBA has a salary cap (a very low one).

    Look at his face when he finished a layup, he's still struggling for his cap.

    That's not what really destroyed it. (Unless you're being sarcastic)

    Well he fell off from all-star status after his knee injury, but he didn't fall off the chart completely until after his knee injury.

    Are they even good friends?

    Best friends of Yao remain to be Deke and the Franchise

    I'll say one thing. Tmac has a lot of love for something. I'd like to believe it's the game, but if it isn't it's either money or recognition.
