I wonder what history will make of T-Mac and Lebron if they had switched conferences(Rockets in the East and Cleveland in the West). I'd venture to say T-Mac at least make it to a conference final or two, and Lebron would not have made the finals until this year. Not that I'm complaining, since you deal with the cards you're dealt with. But I do believe the distance between these two players at are closer than one may think.
Because he doesn't give up after a single injury. Because he never quit on the city of Houston. Because he wasn't a smartass and he didn't take shots at all the members of the Rockets front office and coach. Why do YOU defend a guy that walked out on our team? I like Tracy. But using Yao and LeBron to uplift his position is just ridiculous.
lol no, it's not close. lebron brought those cavs teams to 60+ wins, and the best record in the L. tmac by himself brought the magic to 40+ wins. lebron is twice the player tmac was in his prime. lebron just has some weaknesses that he has to tweak, and one of them is his brain. hopefully he'll get those things fixed.
Yao's game just doesn't work in today's game. His slowness is an embarassment. This is an NBA dish section not Rockets. Yao is just disappointingly slow, he never helped Tracy nor can he ever help any superstar that wishes to land here. Since neither are Rockets, I believe Yao is no longer under contract, Tracy's prime showtime is compatible with today's game while Yao is a marketing giant from a country where it's fans would still wear a Tracy, Kobe, or Lebron jersey over his own. They know he's a big slow r****d. Case closed. The guys that defend this obvious fact know share his ethnicity and defend it because they are butt hurt.. You guys are not true Rockets fans when you can't admit to Yao's game being outdated and incompatible with the league today.
Well, neither is a champion and both are mentally soft. Other than that, very different players. Lebron is better than Tracy ever was.
Please do not misunderstand the meaning of tonight. LeBron is still one of the most talented players in the game. LeBron also can win. He has more second round AND finals appearances than Tmac does. LeBron is leaps and fathoms ahead of Tmac. The guys in black and white alone cannot do that, he does have a hellofalot of talent. I do not understand where this confusion arises...
Not saying all Asians defend him but the one's that do are psychotically delusional. The man's game went extinct and when Yao tried to push himself to be faster he's proven to fall apart time after time. You take a 6'7 kid in China or wherever in Asia and he's going to try to emulate Tracy at his prime not Yao, slow as hell, Ming.
You take 04 Tmac and put him in place of Lebron on this Miami team and they win the championship. Tracy had back luck with surrounding talent and by the time it was made available to him, he was a mentally broken man as well as physically. And when I say superstars, that's if you count Artest as a superstar which he isn't.
Why would a 6'7 kid anywhere emulate Yao? Why would a 6'7 kid anywhere emulate any center? Defending Yao doesn't make you delusional. It depends what it is you're defending. Defending Yao against insults of being mentally r****ded is different from claims of him being a "great" center.
And you of course are one of those delusional Asians that defend Yao regardless.. Butt hurt huh? "Oh that's racist even though it's true"
On poster said how about when Yao was healthy. And if you look at how easy passes this guy has fumbled or was too slow to get a rebound in front of his face, there's only 1 logical explanation to defend him. He's a r****d and not even a good player much less a great player.
I disagree. I think McGrady never learned team ball. McGrady, like a lot of players ends up being a cancer to his team when he can't find his shot. He brings the team down. Dirk had one of the worst games of his career tonight and yet the mavs won. LeBron needs to learn how to do that. If Tracy could have learned that we would have 3/4 championships here, not the lonely 2...
