Let's just say that if this is true, his fiancee will be a pariah in the city of Houston for many, many years to come.
If his fiance did in fact do this, man, I would be more understanding of T-Mac's current woes. That must be incredibly hard to accept if T-Mac's baby boy isn't his.
oh god..i shoulda posted this sooner. i predicted t-macs fiancee was cheating on him and nate would win the slam dunk contest. its just very obvious. since i kept my mouth shut...i cant tell anyone i told u so -_-
If true it can be devastating... if someone trusts and loves and is innocent and then betrayed to the heart.... wow I've seen people who shut down, can't sleep at night, feel so emotionally drained... Don't know Tracy at all but if he is somewhat sincere and good at heart he must be feeling trainwrecked inside and also fighting some bad emotions- quitting, giving up, deadness, hurt, anger, pain on and on... TMac take off, get your life, heart and head clear, re-focus and come back and win us some games Houston is behind you.
WHA? Way to make an illogical leap or use this as a place to preach. This crap happens in marriages and outside of marriages all of the time, sadly.
If true, this would make Tracy's depression very understandable. It would turn your world topsy-turvy. You think of yourself as a proud father; you have a young family of your own; and that gets nuked. Now you believe the child isn't yours, but you've been loving that child as yours. The love and trust you had with your other half? Obliterated. Completely. Obviously, this isn't the sort of thing you just shake off, either. This will dog his steps for awhile. If it's all true.
True it does, but the point is still there. Family is such an important thing, and part of the reason this sort of thing happens is because a family was started without a marital foundation to base it on. I'm not trying to say T-Mac's at fault or anything ... I really feel for him, that's one of the worst things that could happen to anyone. But it does seem like putting the cart before the horse contributed to this.
No, it's not. Death is tragic, but it is not the fault of the grieving person unless a homicide is involved. Infidelity is directed straight at the spouse- you know, why would she do this if she truly loved me, what did I do wrong, etc. It directs blame at you, unlike a death (for the most part). And this makes sense why McGrady would mention this in the press. A very natural reaction to this is making the cheating party feel guilty as sin. You want them to feel as bad or worse than you do. Doesn't excuse him for making things public that should be private, but it is understandable.
Wow! I was just guessing around in another thread and said that it's not the health of a family member that's dragging T-Mac down like this, because he has dealt with that numerous times in the past and has come back and played strong, and just dealt with it in the process like a strong person would. I admired him in the past for being this strong under trying circumstances. It was clear as day for me that it wasn't the usual annual death that's taking a toll on him, and he even said once in the media that "this is much worse, I am used to people dying around me". Also, the whole thing about why is this so shrouded in secrecy if it's just the health of a friend or relative? There's no reason to be secretive about that, and the only reason to be so secretive is if T-Mac doesn't want public embarassment because of relationship problems or paternity issues or something serious like that that must be handled behind closed doors. This must be very tough to handle for him, it could absolutely tear your heart if you were in a relationship and a committed father and partner and then see betrayal. Just wow! Anyways, for his own sake and not the Rockets', I hope McGrady can handle this first and take whatever amount of time he needs to deal with this and put it behind him. It's not like the season is on the brink or anything like that, this season is already in the toilet and nothing good will come out of it. Man, tough luck T-Mac, good luck with everything, family life comes before basketball or your job no matter what, the man has his priorities straight.
Can anyone post a picture of the baby and the parents together? I thought they looked alike a lot.. but who knows.
