    Anyone who didn’t list T-Mac in their list is lying to themselves. Yes I understand the relationship has soured and his last couple of years with the Rox left a bad taste in your mouth. But you all pretending he never existed is laughable.

    I didn't List Tmac because he under achieved. When we got Tmac we knew he was going to be a scorer and a playmaker. He didn't grow much in Houston. He actually regressed with the injuries. Yao Dream Harden even... we watched those guys grow and go from good players and raw potential to Super Stars. Mac won his scoring titles in Orlando.

    Agreed.
    Watching Dream and Yao go from Rooks to Vets was great

    I enjoyed Stevie Franchise's attitude and enthusiasm
    Harden's skill

    If we go to the "Non-Stars"
    Horry, Cassell, Thorpe, Mad Max . .. .
    I even like Bullard, Chilly Pete ChillCutt and Amigo
    Sweet Lou Lloyd

    f*ck it . .. too many to name

    No. . . . I am not
    Check my record. . ..
    I absolutely DETESTED the TMAC Trade
    It was not as bad as the BARKLEY TRADE but it was up there

    Never liked him
    He is EVERYTHING people (wrongly) claim Harden was suppose to be
