    did someone honestly say comparing Kobe to TMAC was like comparing Schaub to Peyton Manning? Newsflash KOBE AND TMAC make $20M/year, Schaub doesn't have nearly the same payday as Manning so expectations aren't the same.

    What does salary have to do with anything? Artest and Battier make about the same amount each year as well, but the expectations for Shane are completely different then they are for Ron.

    Rashard Lewis has a max contract to, but do you expect him to play like Kobe? Comparing a players talent and ability to play injured has nothing to do with money.

    Rashard isn't worth that kind of money on MOST teams. In Orlando he is worth that money, look at Orlando's record this year, their GM had a blueprint and he put it on the court and it's working. Rashard isn't a superstar but he is 6'11 and hits almost 4 three's a game combined with Turkoglu and Jameer before he was hurt Orlando was great to watch. The thing with TMAC is he doesn't fit in well with anybody. He had problems in Toronto, he had problems in Orlando, and sure enough he's having problems here now. We only see Tmac on his sheer talent we tend to overlook things like how the offense comes to a standstill when he's on the court. Too many people on this board see Tracy and think of 2002 McGrady when in reality that guy is never gonna exist again. Sure he has outbursts from time to time like the Denver game, but so does Von Wafer but I don't see people all over his jock. There is just no way anyone can defend McGrady.

    I think most of this discussion is pointless b/c no one knows for sure, except Tmac and maybe his doctor if T-mac is being a pathetic wimp, or if the injuries truly are hampering him.

    I honestly think it's both. But if I had to take a wild guess, I'd say it's more of him just being a puss.
