    I envy all the championships that the Spurs have and Tim Duncan, who's so not tmac, it's fantastic.

    I can't vote in this poll, the options are lame.

    Awesome video. Lots of very cool memories. TMac and Yao just had their bodies fall apart and we never realized our potential. But some great memories remain nevertheless.

    I'd rather the Rockets have won championships than have disappointing first round exits and a me first superstar

    that's a question you must ask yourself

    You can argue that DD is too much of a Rockets fan

    I just enjoyed watching him play.

    That's what it comes down to in the end, don't take it for granted. It's no fun watching guys play their hardest and not even get into the playoffs.

    For those that say Tmac had no heart, no drive, well to be as great as he was I say nah. He had sick handles, good shooter, skilled passer...very skilled player we are talking about here. Perhaps he got content when he got his max deal or perhaps the injuries just weighed too much on him...but I still appreciate all the fun I had watching him play.

    In the end that's what it is about. Sure we'd love to win the championship every year but I as a fan get nothing for that. I get no ring. The only thing I get to keep are the memories and for good or bad Tmac gave me a lot of those.

    DD maybe called a lot of things by a lot of different members, but no one with half a brain would question whether or not he is devoted to the Rockets.

    I was at the Spurs game. One of the best games I've been to. The ones that beat that were the 22nd win, and game 6 against Portland where we advanced.

    Too young to remember the championships unfortunately. I was a little kid.

    His downfall was when he came into the 08-09 season FAT. He was FAT. Once that happened, he got injured, he sucked donkey balls, the rest is history...

    But boy when he was healthy and in shape, **** he was good. He settled for the long two too much, but he had crazy range, crazy playmaking, that awesome turnaround shot. He'd go the wrong way and still make it. Very fluid game. Most talented player I think I've seen(said this before he became a Rocket), but like many say lacks the other qualities to be the best. He was truly 6'9-6'10 with excellent playmaking, crazy range, freaky athleticism, and a natural born scorer. That's the perfect basketball talent piece besides someone like Olajuwon, 7'1 and nimble.

    DaDakota should have voted for option 1 in the poll then.

    I used to watch the TMAC dunk over Shawn Bradley to amp me up before an exam in college.
