come on dude, LeBron slightly better on the offensive end than Tmac? the 2 time scoring champion? the guy who scored 62 points in a game? if you're talking about court vision, tmac has as good court vision as lebron does ........and tmac has better a shot, handle, and moves than leBron
James is a great player forsure .....Tmac is a great player forsure ..but b-ball is a team sport and Yao need someone like Tmac and the players that the front office is putting around him to be the #1 pick we all saw when they drafted him..so i say no way would i go for that trade
If it's vs. a young Clyde, T-Mac wins in a blowout. T-Mac can do things Clyde couldn't dream of. Let's hope T-Mac can lead us to the Finals at least 3 times.
Screw ESPN, their opinions mean jack to me or other Rockets fan. We're damn lucky to get Yao & TMac, I would not even trade either of them for Tim duncan, let alone LeBron.
Drexler was the second or third best player on the teams he went to the Finals with. Clyde didn't make it to the second round when he was the best player of the team
So when the blazer went to the finals in 90 clyde wasnt the best player on the team? What about in 92? A young clyde not only made it out of the 1st rd consistently, but the finals also. Sometimes people need to look and appreciate what clyde did before he ever became a Rox.
LeBron at age 20 is hell uf a lot better than than Tmac was at age 20. Now if we use the argument everyone uses to defend Yao, and how this is only his 3rd year in the league and how much he can grow, can't we say the same about lebron. I am a rockets fan but you can't deny the greatness of LeBron. Just watch him play.
you dont know that lebron is better than mcgrady at 20. cleveland had no choice but to start lebron. mcgrady was on a team that already had a decent cast. if they had let mcgrady start i have no doubt he would have been at least as good as lebron. i dont think lebron is near as exciting to watch as mcgrady.
lebron wouldve still gotten more playing time even on a good team b/c he was so highly touted coming out of high school (the league would've demanded it )......tmac came out of nowhere and blew up during ABCD camp and his stock rose right before the draft, nobody really knew much about him.....and also tmac entered the NBA in a time where teams were hesitant to give playing time to players coming out of high school....and at the same age as lebron is right now, tmac already played terrific defense.....so what's lebron's excuse for not playing good defense? .........stat wise lebron is great and all, but i'd pick tmac over him b/c, simply put, he has more game than lebron Lebron is like well oiled machine=great motor, crunching out great numbers on the court, while TMAC is like a basketball poet=smooth, creative, graceful, beautiful to watch.......they are both great players
Since we (the Rox) are trying, and will win now, TMac is HANDS DOWN the choice between the two, he is more polished mentally, and gamewise, Lebrom yes is the future fo the NBA but is not ready to win now and DOES NOT know how to and what it takes to win in the playoffs. I would have to argue that the the Rockets cast is far superior to the Cavs, they have good talent, but not near the chemistry we do. It took Jordan 7(?) years and PJ to start winning, and with close to the same cast each year.
