    I've decided if I ever win the lottery or come into wealth and / or fame some other way I would put a big chunk of it in a trust that doles out a fixed amount to me the rest of my life and getting vasectomy.

    And McGrady would most likely be wearing a shirt.

    Another thing 2k,

    No McGrady fan can tell you anything about Houston, cause they can't even find Houston on a map of Houston.

    The only reason why VY fans wanted him in Houston is because, it's his hometown and that there's a MASSIVE UT ALUMNI presence there.

    McGrady fans could have cared less if he joined the Rockets or Wizards or Shanghai Sharks.

    I know that some of you Aggies and UH and Rice folk here hate him, and LeBron trolls in California too, but dude really loves Htown. VY did lots of charity work in Htown.

    100% True. Bud was going to fire fisher 06 season before vince came in and the team went 8-8. The next yr they went 10-6 and if not for lendale putting the ball on the ground,they wouldve beat chargers. Next yr he didnt play well,got benched after getting slammed on his head, they went 13-3 and lost in the 1st rd.Next yr, again get smashed on with collins, especially after the patriots blowout,you knew fisher was going to get fired until adams suggested they put young back in. What happens? CJ2k and the team finishes with a non losing season again. For some reason, fisher and young never connected even though vince saved his job 2 times.

    Ive been reading about this situation some time now and he's not the only player that had his money misused by others. Dawkins,blaine bishop, and there is a huge deal going on with rosenhouse about the financial people advising his clients. Ive said this before and i will say it again, when you get that kind of lump of money, you dont have to gamble big,just play it safe. Mutual funds,govt bonds, pay for everything in cash. 1 nice house in the city you will live, a condo or smaller house in the city you're visiting or playing in. He shouldve been about to take care of himself and his momma and grandmother for about 3m at most. He got like a 25m signing bonus. If he puts 20m in the bank, he's living well until he dies. Even at simple 3% on 20m is 600k a year he can right himself a check for. Maybe i'm being simple,but my 1st cousin won 49m lotto and every year she writes herself a check with the intrest. Its not that hard.

    Seriously, I hope he comes back somehow, but the myopia some of you have around him is a joke.

    Now, do the math, finish the equation, and calculate how many he averaged per start. And do the math on all the others. And you will find he is at the top of the list.
