    When you realize Tracy mcgrady fans are dumber than dirt, you can laugh at their statements and see them as cartman like cartoon figures on clutchfans

    Can we stop calling Tracy, "TMAC"?

    Maybe. Why?

    Are we giving Motiejunas too much credit by calling him D-Mo?

    The fact that he considered using PEDs because he has "confidence" issues, (then now he tells us about it), tells me that he really has a weak mentality...

    Winners don't contemplate these things, they just do... its either they do PEDs and spend the rest of their lives denying it, or don't do PEDs, and spend more time on the court, practicing and re-defining his game according to his abilities...

    every elite athlete who loses talent through injury or whatever, would at the minimum consider using peds.

    I agree, but I'm not saying Tmac is not elite, just saying that does not have a winning mentality...

    my point is, if you are a winner, you don't "come out" that you where contemplating to use PEDs. this is just another one of his "excuses" to sort of justify his "injury". its either you do or you don't.

    D-Mo hasn't yet disgraced his nickname. Tracy's alias was voided when he refused to play in the '09 playoffs.

    Right on. But judging by the rest of his career after that point, I'm not sure he could have simply 'chosen to play'. But we Clutchfans have certainly been through this conversation enough... so I'll let it go.

    Either you do or you don't? Well McGrady did not... wtf are you talking about?
    I think his honesty is cool, and I respect the fact that he did not cheat.


    Let me guess you think its ok to have the "winners" mentality and cheat. smh
    I mean how the hell do you justify an injury? dafuq does that even mean. Are you implying he was never hurt?

    That is the biggest load of BS I have ever heard. I have seen Kobe with a finger facing the wrong direction make threes. Even when he was healthy he couldn't close a serie. But like he said, "It's my fault the team can't make free throws, its my fault the team....." blah blah blah. PEDS wouldn't of help him because the problem was between the shoulder. If he had two beers before each half, it would have worked much better. All that frontal lobe garbage he has up there would have relaxed.

    What's sad is if he would have taken PED's then we may have won a championship.

    when he was healthy he never led any team to 1 playoff series victory.

    Perhaps
    Extremely
    Delusional

    I don't think if just one athlete on your team took PEDs that your team is championship bound even if its your star athlete.

    A championship is in the end a team effort.

    You can put this down to the past legends test.
    If Michael Jordan had taken PEDs will he have overcome the pistons earlier? NO
    If Magic Johnson had taken it would he have overcome the Celtics in the years he didn't beat them? NO

    It probably will improve certain attributes relating to your athleticism but it is not a magic pill that grants better teammates or higher basketball IQ.
