    Was T-Mac a very good player at one point? Yes, so it isn't surprising that he was difficult to guard. Thats not the issue most people have with him though.

    That is the thing that makes me sad and angry when I think back on the Rockets T-Mac era... all that talent wasted on an egotistical man child. He wanted the superstar status and all the benefits that comes with it, but none of the responsibility. If they win, its on him. If they don't, he made excuses.

    How in the hell would you know who is hard to guard? you have never stepped on the court with any of these guys... Just stay behind your keyboard acting like you know what your talking about.

    Mcgrady fans trying to pretend they have any relevance clutchfans.

    This only reminds me that LeBron is significantly better than Tracy.

    Tracy couldn't even help yao ming win a playoff series.

    Lebron took garbage Cleveland to the finals

    The Quitter was Pippen. McGrady may not be the greatest Rocket but he deserves to be in the Pantheon. He may not have won but he WANTED to be in Houston. I give him props for that.

    Rockets basically swapped Artest with Tracy, then advanced.

    I agree some of the Yao/Tracy teams were lacking though. They could've overachieved at least once. Up 2-0 twice and still lose... smh. Epic floppage.

    Besides MIA, when did LeBron have a stacked team?

    MJ's teams weren't stacked until the 90's.

    Question was who hardest for him to guard. T-Mac always played great against Lebron with Rockets. That's it. No jerkeeng off from TOFs and no squeerting about his nonaccomplishments from tinmans needed here.
