    All I have to do is say what mcgrady really did for the rockets

    And tofs go nuts.

    I love it !

    Tmac sits next to Hakeem . That's the closest he'll ever get to Hakeem, we know if seating was based on accomplishments, tmac would be in the parking lot.

    im surprised it took so long for tinman to chime in here. i wouldve been impressed by the self-restraint, but then the butthurt reared its ugly face. i thought for sure seeing tmac chillaxing with les and dream would knock some sense into tinman but this dude's grudge is just on another level. seek help brah, when the one guy who had the most right to hate tmac (les) has gotten over it, maybe you should too.

    Moes you were the first to get Hakeem status here.

    It's because you tell the truth in such a unique and honest manor .

    You're one of the best

    Hakeem didn't get out of the first round for what was it? 4 years in a row? Duncan on the other hand has missed the 2nd round only twice in 15 years. McGrady had a **** supporting cast, the other all star on the team was generally incapable of being on the court in the playoffs, and when it was finally good his body had broken down as well. It's a team game.

    How can I hate on tmac? His forcing of morey to trade him at max salary forced the rockets to rebuilding mode.

    Also since he never led the rockets to any playoff series victories, he saved rockets fans from spending lots of money on playoff tickets , championship t shirts, parades

    He got to the nba finals in his second year .

    Tmac can't even play 4 healthy years in a row.

    Look just because Hakeem sat next to tmac doesn't mean that are equals in rockets history.

    If seating was based on what they did for the rockets, then tmac would be sitting in Antarctica

    We beat the Lakers with Hakeem in the locker because he decided punching out mitch kupchak was more important than winning, and yet we still won.

    Let me repeat this, playoff success is about the team, you even got it right when you said he got to the finals.

    How many years was tmac with the rockets organization ?

    You really compare him to Calvin and Rudy for tenure?

    It's a freaking joke

    Those guys were rockets lifers

    Kid.

    Tmac is nothing compared to Hakeem as a player.
    Absolutely nothing.

    Don't pretend to know how good Hakeem was.

    If you want to think Tracy was better than go ahead, smoke that

    Are you so stupid to not know why kupchack was punching dream in the first place?

    No Yao didn't quit. He retired

    Tmac asked morey to trade him

    Look it up, it's rockets history

    Tmac was an amazing player. Unfortunately, he didn't have 'it.' As a 6'8" shooting guard / small forward with unbelievable athleticism and skill, he should have been an all time great.

    Harden has 'it.' As a 6'5" 'plump' shooting guard, he has no business being mentioned as a top player in the NBA. Fortunately, his skill overshadows his physical stature.

    Harden >>> TMac

    I've sat next to Hakeem once. It was glorious. I am at Mergady's level.

    T Macs best season as a Rocket is what Hakeem Olajuwon would have called a complete failure of a season.

    Legend? Not even close!

    McGrady should be sitting next to Pippen.

    Nah you're right, no one knows how good Hakeem was except the 1999'ners right?

    Seriously, who gives this guy rep points?

    I know that one player took the Rockets to the NBA Finals 3 times
    won finals mvp twice
    won nba mvp
    won defensive player of the year
    won the olympics
    first ballot hall of fame
    has the most block shots ever
    mentored superstars on how to play the post - dwight howard, lebron, kobe, carmelo

    has his number retired
    has a statue

    Doesn't take a 99er, to know who this guy is
