    I know for example Durant has not passed the first round yet but he hasn't played in the NBA for 10+ years so he doesn't qualify.

    Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill

    Funny thing is Grant Hill injury is probably why both of them are on this list.

    Grant Hill made it to the WCF last year with the Suns


    McGrady technically did make it past the first round though injured.


    I think amongst current all-stars right now who have been in the league at least 5 years I believe I'd have to say Chris Bosh

    What everybody is going by is that T-Mac has never played in a second round playoff game.

    Or we could say Gasol never won a playoff game w/o Kobe,
    And Shaq was 1-23 in elimination playoff series before Kobe.

    Grant Hill was the first star player I can remember who couldn't even make it past the first round. I'm glad he finally had some success last year.

    T-Mac has taken it to another level because he was actively playing as a star player for longer than Hill.

    Hmm, pretty sure Shaq made it to the Finals with Orlando, beating MJ and the Bulls on the way.

    You didn't read what I said. Shaq was 1-23 in the playoff series where he got eliminated. I said nothing about his complete playoff record.

    Shaq got swept every season except one.

    Yes, and the Rockets are 0-31 in the games they lost this year....

    See what I did there?

    Well, actually Kobe was on every one of Shaq's playoff teams in LA. So we should only count the series in Orlando, in which case Shaq was 0-11 before Kobe and has been swept once since leaving LA.
