    Congrats to Tracy for making to the second season as an NBA Analyst.
    Too bad this show gets destroyed by Inside the NBA with Rocket heroes Charles and Kenny

    ESPN’s The Jump Hosted by Rachel Nichols Returns for Season Two October 24

    http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-r...rachel-nichols-returns-season-two-october-24/

    • ESPN has signed six-time NBA Champion Scottie Pippen as an analyst for The Jump. Pippen will add his championship perspective throughout the season;
    • Seven-time NBA All-Star and two-time scoring champion Tracy McGrady, who joined ESPN as an analyst for The Jump last season, has signed an extension with the company and will expand his role on The Jump, while also contributing to NBA Countdown and other ESPN programming this season;

    You can't blame McGrady for Playoffs loses. He carried those awful teams. Anybody that says otherwise did not watch the playoffs against Dallas and both Utah series.

    Maybe McGrady gets too much hate, but Pippen definitely deserves it. Carry on.

    It's a show on ESPN.
    Tracy McGrady and Pippen will attempt to be Kenny and Charles, except they are not as charismatic or funny.

    This is just facts.

    For those who have ESPN and watch the Jump. They will get treated with a double dose of former Rockets

    And you can't credit McGrady for elevating a team to victory either.

    It also seems like people don't understand the poll question.

    Tracy had his limitations, but it's pretty low to lump him in with Scottie Quitten.

    Except, of course, for the time that TMac quit on the team, I guess. But his knees hurt!

    Pippen is ugly and a quitter. That is all.

    Either answer is correct
    Neither player won any playoff series with the Rockets

    Tripped on purpose, threw the end of his Rockets career. Jake.
