    you apparently haven't read my threads.

    I'm happy that we got one of the two best players in Orlando Magic History on our team to help lead us back to the championship, he's being mentored by the one and only Hakeem Olajuwon.

    The other best player in Orlando Magic history is hanging with Kenny and Charles on TNT.

    oh...
    quick question.

    1. who made this thread?
    2. who brought it back?

    answer: not me

    ps. I was there at the Lin movie premiere and I asked him basketball questions..

    All you post is hindsight.
    Everyone wanted him at that moment. Nearly everyone wanted to play with him. He passed up playing with Dwight and Nelson.

    I have a PhD degree and I'm both a Lin fan and a McGrady fan. What's your IQ?

    He was the reason they got Dwight in the first place.

    Couldn't lead his team out the cellar of the L'EASTERN Conference.

    Paul Pierce with the Celtics, on the other hand, waited out the bad times and was rewarded for his patience.

    many of you seem to forget or not know at all that tinman was once the biggest tmac supporter. that is why he bears so much bitterness now. i also drank the tmac kool-aid up until "the game"

    I posted plenty dude. I'm a freaking 99er. the ones who joined Clutchfans for the original vision that Clutch intended. The pilgrims and the plymouth rock. the ellis island of Clutch City. the NWA and Tribe Called Quest of Clutch fans. the Rolling Stones and Led Zeplin of Clutch fans. The greatest of the greatest of the greatest.

    Except, of course, when discussing a healthy T-Mac.

    Thankfully this argument is more than just 1 full season, its about Tmac at his best.

    By failures you mean injury.


    Not when the Rox put him on the trading block.

    I dont see the difference, if a player as great as Hakeem was put on the trading block, why put so much emphasis when a player like Tmac is traded?

    Not if they understand context.

    More like you werent paying close attention. Guess which duo was better. Wake me up when Ron Artest is selected as an All-NBA player... hell let me know when his contributions even led to an All-Star game. NBA history is littered with examples of superior TEAMS going further than superior DUOS.

    Thats the main reason you have deflected all of the points raised and stuck with pop topics like walking dead

    Ron artest was an all star in 04 with the pacers.

    The main reason mcgrady fans are wrong are because they are wrong.

    T-Mac was the reason I started going for the Rockets and I haven't left since.

    Organizations never pay non-professinals with one exception that is Royce White.
