    Dream still has game.

    His numbers weren't that bad when he played for Toronto. 7 pts on 46.4 %, 6 rebs, 1.2 stls, 1.5 blks in 22 mins.

    Looks like we could use a player like this currently. I would take Deke from last yr right about now!

    You think I was happy?

    you're wrong. look at the desperation around here.

    if some people want to compare players I'm gonna do that and show the truth.

    no matter how bad the truth is.

    at least you and i accept the truth.

    that's not the Dream. The Dream is the guy who commanded double/triple/quadruple teams.

    the Dream was the guy who was running down point guards.

    hahaha. it took you LONG ENOUGH to figure out that they were on the same team.

    You should have been here (if were you were old enough to use a computer) when the news broke on clutchcity aka clutchfans back then.

    Some dude got the news from Hakeem himself while he was shopping at Whole Foods!

    So you're saying the Dream was the Dream only when he was at his peak, and when he started to break down he was just some dude Les shipped to Toronto? Damn that's cold. No wonder you're down on Tmac now. ;)

    Dude you're next...to be traded!

    I hope in an ironic twist of fate Tmac ends in Toronto again. Not only will we get the next "dream" candidate in Bosh, we can put prime and broken down pics of Tmac and Dream side by side :grin:

    tough to be comparing the two, playing in two different eras, two different positions, and two entirely different teams. Also when dream was around, the west did not dominate the league with the best teams like they have been in the last several years. Now seeds 1-8 have at least 49 wins. Back then a 40 - 42 win team could get an 9th seed. Not saying mac would have been successful back then or is anywhere near dreams' status but it bothers me when ppl say he can't get it done and isn't a team player. He's had injury problems and he has not had a good supporting cast for when he's been healthy, just really bad luck.

    oh good seeing you again theblackknight.

    the main subject is not comparing stats and positions, its about how a leader should act and how his teammates/fans/coaches feel about him.

    Zboy,

    I thought Scottie Pippen had a couple of rings on him, I'm pretty sure that's Penny Hardaway.

    Actually the west was usually tougher than the east. Dream had to deal with the Blazers, Sonics, Suns, Spurs, Jazz, Lakers,..all at some point very dominant teams. What most people forget about Jordan is that he usually cruised past the early rounds playing teams like the Cavs,Bucks, and Hornets once the Pistons and Celtics were in decline.

    Who's the guy that doesn't know that a baseball hat should face forward? Reminds me of a 16 year old kid.

    Very cleverly disguised, yet very true.

    It depends on how you look at basketball. Too many variables.
