    If you take away the players you mentioned from their respective teams, I think Miami is probably the worst.

    I think lebrons done the most with the least IMO.

    In there primes, tmac was arguably better than kobe. But tmac was the unlucky one with injuries, and when did tmac even have a team as good as kobe?

    He forgot to mention the German dude who beat him in the NBA finals, almost singlehandedly.

    I am shocked here. How did you not get what I meant by that?

    P.S. Tracy was easy to guard. And I can prove it. History says it. All you had to do to stop Tracy McGrady was put the playoffs in front of him.

    Yeah and TMac n Yao accounted for 80% of our points. The bench didn't score a freaking point.bwhahahaha but hey it was Tracy's fault.

    Yeah, it's never Tmac fault for anything, for his career for his teams for his choices.

    That's what all the TOFs say. That must be the life philosophy all tmac fans, no responsibility for failures.

    You know what? The unlucky ones were the Rockets and the real Rocket fans.

    The lucky ones were the Spurs fans with Duncan , the Laker fans with Kobe, Miami and Cleveland with LeBron.

    You never hear the old Rockets fans make excuses for Olajuwon, because he actually got the job done and carried the mantle as the best player on the team like a man.

    Well, Tmac was a great offensive player, that is sure, but if I am not mistaken, in the playoffs against the Utah jazz, Tmac was guarded by Fisher at the critical time, then we lost the series. Maybe we should play LeBron James's team in the playoffs, we could win the series because James can not guard him well. In NBA, it is all about winning, if it is not, Tmac would be one of the top players all time.

    What did Cleveland ever win with Lebron? fwiw most Cle fans still hate Lebron, and claim they wouldn't take him back...

    Spurs, Lakers, Heat teams were all stacked, their 7th men are better than the 3rd man on those Rockets teams.


    McGrady is an alltime Rocket great, and he is not the only one to not win just deal with it.

    It would also have been nice if Yao could get a rebound in the closing minutes or if he could have guarded Okur or boozer.

    If Yao could not get that rebound, then he just could not do it because he was slow, not a quick reaction. In the game 7 of the series, Yao got the number 5 foul with around 5 times to go, and the rockets had a lead. When Yao came out the game, Tmac took one jump after another jump, the rockets was never able to recover since then, just re-watch the game. If James can even not guard you, then just go to the post, you can either score, or got a foul.

    Because all of those players you mentioned had stacked teams in the playoffs. Look at tracys numbers in the playoffs.He stepped up.

    On the flip side - Battier/Artest used to do a number on Lebron back in his Cleveland days.

    no he stepped down. that's what you do when you can't win a playoff series.
    you step off the stage and go home and sit on the sofa and watch other teams play.

    I need to transport all of the tracy fans back to 94 and show you what a real superstar, mvp, greatest of all time player is suppose to do.

    tracy mcgrady fans just live to justify losing.

    there's a debate if he should be in the hall of fame.

    you realize there was NO DEBATE for Dream, Moses, Clyde right?
