Is it acceptable to show up to a Rockets game in a Tracy McGrady jersey nowadays?

    these people have no idea what Rockets fans have gone through.

    to throw this ? I don't understand why tmac blah blah blah blah

    1. shows they don't follow the Rockets
    2. shows they don't follow T mac himself!

    what do they think happened? one day Rockets fan woke and felt like booing Tmac?

    Daryl Morey and Rick the Ruler woke up after a night of drinking and making fun of tmac fans and decided to trade his ass to new york?

    Not really. Not to the point of saying something like this

    You don't have to be an NBA fan to know that Tmac was NEVER THE BEST IN THE NBA.

    do you believe that statement? Last time I checked in the history books he didn't win crap.

    Are you referring to the McGrady era or what being a Rocket fan has meant on the whole?

    I genuinely don't know how to read this part of your post.

    Uhhh...what the hell are you talking about?

    I think McGrady supporters understand what happened and why it ended as ugly as it did but to paint the picture that his tenure in Houston was terrible and to demean his performance as a Rocket on the whole is just ignorant and utterly flawed. He was a part of some great Rocket memories whether you like it or not.

    Cheesesticks.

    I actually do, and if u did follow the NBA you would know that Tmac statistically is an absolute monster in the playoffs, the guy really elevated his game when it mattered. i dont care that he didnt win crap, all i am saying is that he was without a doubt the most talented player in the league before 2007/2008. What made him great was not his scoring ability, which we all know was amazing, but his playmaking ability. his playmaking ability is greatly underrated. i struggle to think of better players in the league from 05-07. Shaq was beginning his decline and wade/Kobe/Lebron were not the same players they are now.

    As a Rockets fan I care if they do win.

    Mario Elie was never as talented as Tracy. But as far as hero, he's vastly more heroic.

    Is that the consensus? That McGrady supporters live in some delusional world where he did no wrong?

    If that is so then that is equally as flawed.

    Damn, everyone's phukced up.

    I believe Morey is watching which jersey you are buying in an elaborate scheme for you to buy different jerseys.

    as much as i hate to say it dude has a point. T-Mac was an absolute beast the first 3 years he was with the Rockets. The guys playmaking abilities were vastly underrated. Other than maybe Kobe and Lebron he was arguably the 3rd best player in the league for that 3 year stretch. I don't hate on t-mac.....overall he was kinda lazy and could have been even better but at the end of the day he was the best rockets player we had over the past 15 years.

    Dang, that was a short video over the span of how many years? I was disappointed in Carl much more than McGrady, since McGrady's down years can't compare to the waste of time Houston had put hope into Carl as a backup center. So much for putting hopes on someone not of Phi Slamma Jamma. He's just a Cougar alumni. And just because Carl led the bench in points during the finals, he still was almost a non-factor since NY's bench was tearing up ours.

    Here's the stats, and don't use to compare with wikipedia. I don't trust that site to describe how much a dollar costs in American dollars.

    blah blah blah blah.

    more blah blah blah same ol **** from the same ol poster.

    blah blah same **** over and over blah blah.


    anyway. I saw a little kid in a Tmac jersey, which is fine. i don't care. other than the fact that this jersey the kid was wearing was meant for an adult. a very large adult. the worst part was i don't think the kid had a shirt underneath, and the straps kept falling down.


    that is all.
