    T-Mac is one of my favorite players and I believe he is the best Rocket. However, watching Lebron James flex his muscle at Drew Gooden telling him to go up strong and constantly in the face of Daniel Gibson and in the huddle he was doing more coaching then the coach. By the way anybody notice Gibson having a better playoffs than Luther Head. At 22 years of age and no college we're wittnessing greatness and if Detroit isn't careful Cleveland can actual comeback and win this series and if that happens Lebron would be approaching God status.

    This is probably true, but you have to realize that Tmac has declined a lot since he came to the Rockets. Tmac back in his Orlando days and even 04-05 had a more complete inside-outside game than Lebron does right now. Lebron can only go up from here though, at 22. As far as leadership, Tmac never had it and never will.

    LeBron is almost the best player in the entire league. If not for Duncan and Nash, he may be.

    There are a lot of better players than Tmac. Proved that to us the whole season. He is Mr. Softee.

    ...I liked it so much better when people talked about him choking them shots, now that's he's actually done something in the clutch...:/

    Eh. I think Lebron is great considering his age and is probably going to terrorize the league for years, but he is nowhere near God, MJ or even Kobe status.

    I think he's better than Kobe. He's still in the playoffs, for one thing.

    #1 Eastern Conference
    #2 Eastern Conference
    #3 Eastern Conference
    #4 Eastern Conference

    So easy to deny credibility by just putting that out there

    Kobe is a great athlete with amazing basketball skills, but I think in the past few years, you've seeing that he's not a great basketball player.

    Wow! One good game after sucking in the first two and he's a "great" leader?

    This board is so fickle...

    Are you in the huddle to see what T-Mac does? Or do you think that whatever is caught on TV is fully representative of the entire game?

    Yes, fool... Didn't you see Lebron flexing? That **** was straight up heroic.

    I wish he would run for President. He has mad leadership skillz...

    McGrady never flexes anymore... :(

    Cavs wouldn't even sniff a game 7 with the Jazz to be blunt.

    Maybe LeBron should go to war in Iraq instead of play basketball here. ;)

    Does this topic exist if he misses those tough shots. The shots he made are shots the defense wants him to take, and will accept those all day.

    I don't wanna hear this Eastern Conference BS anymore. T-Mac is 0-6 in the first round in his career. Only 2 of those series were with the Rockets. The rest were played in, you guessed it, the Eastern Conference. The same pathetic JV league that LeBron is dominating at age 22 with what's frankly a pretty average supporting cast.

    T-Mac is soft. He's not a leader. 0 for 6 in the playoffs. Three straight blown leads of 3-1, 2-0(coming home), and 2-0(with Game 7 at home). Aside from Kevin Garnett, I can't think any other so-called superstar who's had a more pathetic run in the postseason. And at least KG eventually quieted all the naysayers with an MVP season where he led his team to Game 6 of the Conference Finals.
