    No one deserves anything. It has to be earned. Plus your defending a guy who takes whole seasons off, except for nationally televised games, and only gives full effort in the playoffs.

    Sorry T-Mac, I used to support you, but not anymore.

    LOL, Barkley said he didn't want to be a role model.

    Tracy has a low pain tolerance and all but the thing is... if the dude is injury prone, he cant help that. I happened to have been injury prone. I played football in college and was only able to actually play 1 year. the rest of the time i was rehabbing from my 4 left knee operation, my left shoulder operation, a 3rd degree tear of my right hamstring and a broken left tibia. I mean, call it what you want, I call it bad luck and sure as heck couldnt help those injuries.

    People keep talking on the radio shows about how we couldnt beat the shorthanded Lakers or Spurs... hello we lost by like 3 points to both teams after back to backs and... arent we a bit shorthanded too? I mean a healthy T-Mac is a pretty stinkin good player!

    damn, that was a great video. most i have seen just show dunks, which i really don't care much for, but this really displays the guy's incredible ball handling/footwork. the guy was sick.

    his skillset is comparable to anyone in the league. you don't get a player like that too often. too bad it didn't work out here.

    I'm not sure how he deserves anything .... Is the other team going to say, "Oh, we won't play because TMac deserves to win." Give me a break.

    I wouldn't go as far as say he deserves a ring

    but he deserves more respect in this forum then he gets. You can say all you want about him quitting but noone is really sure what happened. The only people who are qualified to talk about T-mac, his attitude and his impact on this team are his team mates.

    But yeh its a shame, if he had Barkley's attitude maybe we would be contending this year

    Did anyone else notice how much skinnier Tmac was even a year and a half ago compared to now. He's gotta shed some pounds, thats whats going to help him gain that extra step again.

    I mean, its not like the 'muscle' he put on helped to stop any injuries, which is what he initially said when he put on weight.

    I too hope he comes back strong. He is still a hell of a baller, he just needs to find some consistency and rhythm. That comes with being healthy and ettig some playing time.

    lol All the great players that played against Jordan during the Jordan era.... No one deserves a ring just for being a great player.

    Tmac could always go to a championship calibur team and go hunting for one like Finlely, Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Mich Richmond, etc

    If Tmac wants a ring he needs to man up, and rehab this time and go out and get one.
