Which one is worse in your eyes? As of right now TMac- all the talent in the world... Couldnt even get out the 1st round Lebron- World's greatest talent... Ringless, and the window of opportunity is getting incredibly smaller by the year

comparing them as underachievers ....absolutely....kinda of like this Boulder(Lebron) is to mountain(ring) as Rock (TMac) is to ditch (1st round)...
Well. Let's look at their games Who is the better shooter? Who is the better passer? Who is the better defender? Who is the better rebounder? Who is the better all around player? I am not trying to be funny. T-Mac had UNBELIEVABLE talent but he just didn't seem to apply himself. He had the POTENTIAL to be as good as LeBron . . .but just never was Rocket River
Tmac is a greater disappointment. He is one of the best offensive players of all time, he could score and assist at a phenomenal rate. Lebron is a great defender, the best athlete in the world, imo, and a good scorer. Both have achieved little overall, but at least Lebron has been to the finals multiple times. Tmac can't even get out of the first round, and he deserves about 30% of the blame for that, 30% goes to Yao and the rest goes the role players. It's not an excuse, it's an explanation.
I agree.. But what if he doesnt... The greatest talent (probably ever) not winning a ring is probably worse than TMac's inability to make it outta the 1st round
Is he really the greatest talent? Or the greatest athlete. A lot of what he does isn't pretty and isn't easily duplicated by a lesser athlete. If Lebron doesn't develop a more reliable shot (it has gotten much much better) than he will likely have a precipitous fall in production once his body deteriorates.
And I agree with that. If he doesn't, he'll go down as one of the greatest disappointments then. Great career, no doubt, but no rings.
I mean theres tons of great talents and athletes... But he's both... He plays the game right and does unbelievable things with his athleticism.. You can't overlook the fact that he's a great passer 1st, that has developed into a great scorer... This IMO, makes him the greatest talent ... I agree though that he needs to develop a more reliable mid range game, like Jordan and Kobe did...
Thus far, yes.... But it's far greater when you are the best... Im just want to see what other Rocket fans think, because of the utter disdain for TMac...
TMAC is done, Lebron still has a couple of more years of prime left. As for now, Lebron has already been to the finals. I think TMAC will eventually become the 40 year old first round virgin.
I know people here don't like lebron jockers, but in the history of clutchfans there's no insecure and jealous group of fools than Tracy fans.
whats your pick?.... I know you hate TMac with a passion, but if Lebron doesnt win one, who's worse in your eyes?...
Lebron is clearly the better player. He's made it to the finals several times . It's expected of him to win a title. Tracy has failed too many times and his career is almost done. You are talking about lebron who's got at least 4 more great years in him. I can't judge him yet. But he's completely turned around franchises and taken both to Nba finals. So if you mean who's more dissapointing? Or overrated? Tracy is both.
But Tinman, because of that "expectation to win a title" , doesn't it make him more dissapointing?.... I don't think anyone expected T-Mac to win multiple titles and achieve greatness like LBJ... Again, I know his career is far from over....
