    some players bring success wherever they go, others, whenever they go (Tmac)

    only when Lin deserves it. Just like Tmac, he has to earn his praise, especially in the playoffs.

    Lin needs to stay healthy and mentally strong.

    T-Mac had one of the highest playoff PPG ever. His stats all around were immense.

    basketball = team game

    Tmac was a statistical marvel...he's basically the Ken Griffey Jr of basketball

    Playoff Potential Gone

    He wasn't a great leader and didn't make his teammates better. He also clashed with the front office and coaching.

    Amazingly, when you remove McGrady from the Raptors and Magic and Rockets, they progress in the playoffs.

    Do you honestly think the same thing would have happened if we had:

    - Dream
    - Jordan
    - Kobe
    - Lebron

    Fact is, there is not a SINGLE player I have ever seen with as much talent as T-Mac that had accomplished less. This is a FACT.

    Tmac had talent, these TOFs are right.

    but what he didn't have

    -Leadership (look up stories by Mario Elie,Horry of Dream)
    -Dedication to the game (JVG has mentioned he doesn't practice hard)
    -Dedication to the off season (LeBron goes in the off season to train with Hakeem, wow)

    If there was a % of how much these players were dedicated to winning.

    Everyone would be at 100%, Tmac would be at 50%

    You realize that you're not even arguing with T-Mac fans anymore right? These are all people who are just trolling you knowing you will respond to anything positive said about T-Mac.

    Tmac has top 5 playoff averages. Yup his teams had nothing to do with his failures. Numbers don't lie
