he got bad advice from Grover or possibly jvg too. Remember jvg wanted Yao to bulk up too which caused his injuries to start.
Never seen so much bitterness from a simple Thank You. The guy is retiring...just let it go already. McGrady was, truly, a unique talent, and for all his flaws, he is still one of the greatest talents this city has ever seen.
Tim Thomas fell on Yao's foot. Has nothing to do with him working out. Tim Grover gave bad advice to michael Jordan too, ......but not about training
people that complain that tmac complained have to remember that dream did the same at one time. yeah tmac had flaws I liked him and rooted for him. anyone that knows anything about sports is that injuries can ruin a career.
He quit on us and had nagging injuries, but I can't hate the guy. Sure, he pissed me off a lot and I will always think of what could have been with a healthy Tracy and Yao, but can't hate the man himself. As bad as I feel about his ending in Houston, I am sure he feels worse.
The saddest thing about tinman is that he's not even funny! I can handle irrational hate, I irrationally hate Flake Griffin and Chris Fraud. But you gotta be funny to pull it off. Poor tinman just tries so hard to be funny and fails miserably every time. Poor guy just wants a friend to laugh at his bad jokes!
If we could agree on that, this wouldn't be a conversation. But we can't agree on that. And I don't agree with that.
If he only had the work ethic of Kobe, we could be looking at a HOFer who brought multiple championships to Houston right now.
My favorite T-mac game as a rocket. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/rK6galQrajw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Went up 2-0 against the mavs and we all know what happened next
I think everyone would agree with you that he was a great talent. There's a big difference however from being a great talent to being a winner and/or a player who was a great leader and had integrity. This city also watched McGrady flat out quit on his team. Are people bitter about what he did? I can't speak for anyone else, but I might look at him differently if he was to own up to what he did in Toronto. Have never heard him take ownership of what he did nor say he was sorry or that he had regrets for doing it. He always said, "it's on me". So stand up and take ownership of it. People are pretty forgiving, and I think Rocket fans might look at him differently if he were to apologize to his teammates and the organization for Toronto.
An amazing talent. An amazing leader? amazing workethic? McGrady by his own admission, was a good example of the perils of natural talent. Why work hard when the game comes so naturally?
