    Were his two years here better than McGrady’s run because we were so close to winning it all? Was it 100x better than Quitten’s lone year?

    Yes.

    His run here was amazing and he didn't deserve this.

    I feel pretty gutted for him. Hope he finds a winning situation again before his career is over.

    But yes, his tenure is probably just ahead of Barkley.

    That’s interesting bc I like your list. I’d have Barkley slightly ahead of Paul because it felt satisfying to get past Seattle. We were one bear hug away from making it to the Finals.

    injury and age doomed him, he left it all out on the floor every single night. I have nothing but respect for him

    didn't quit like McLady, didn't give up like Dwert.

    TMac
    Paul
    Howard
    Artest
    Sleepy Floyd
    whoever else
    Joe Barry Carroll
    Pippen

    He took the Rockets the closest they have ever been to an NBA finals in over 20 years. I don't know if he deserves this but I also don't know what's going on behind the scenes
