    Has BizzleRocket ever lied about his past usernames?

    Same answer as your question.

    I would like to see some proof where he won, Seems like he's just a natural loser everywhere he goes.

    He led Mount Zion to a 20-1 record, as a senior, he averaged 27.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 2.8 steals per game while shooting .564 from the field, .389 from three-point range and .791 from the free throw line.

    I believe he was named High School Player of the Year.

    Where does it say he won the championship? I'm sure even Amare Stoudemire has done something like that, but he never won anything in High School, that's why I constantly hear Orlando and Miami Heat fans calling him a loser.

    I don't think that TMAC needs to average 32 points per game to help the Rox WIN, an ideal TMAC would be the perfect blend of scoring, playmaking, rebounding, and D-Fence which he has shown in the past.

    Ariza was a Major Contributor on Both ends of the court making Clutch plays in Post Season to help the Lakers win a Championship...

    Hopefully our offseason additions will fill and exceed what Wafer brought to us last year minus his baggage and questionable---(decision making/defense/contract expectations).

    The Champion Lakers didn't win 65 games during the regular season by rolling over or not exerting much effort every now and then...nor do I believe they had any reason to do the same in the Playoffs particularly vs.the Rox as the media may suggest. Sometimes, when the media can't easily explain certain Unexpected and Unbeleivable events, it is common to justify certain events by stating a reason whether true or not, especially when there were high expectations for LA and their Emotionally charged and at times Overboard players, and in this situation by pointing the finger at the Lakers for "half hearted" effort because they lost 2 playoff games in Houston (38-9 @ home) vs a Rox team that were without key players.

    I did not watch the Lakers games during the reg season, only vs the Rox, however common sense would say that the Lakers did what they could and most likely stepped up their game vs Rox and other teams in Post season as every minute of the playoffs is much more crucial than a reg season game.

    That being the case, we may have a much better Core than last season that went 2-2 vs Champ Lakers in Playoffs without Yao, TMAC, & Deke. In the past it was fair to expect that Yao and TMac would be our Foundation to build around...

    Now we must improve around our true Pillars/Players that showed what the Rockets can do without Big Stars through their resiliency, persistence, performance, intelligence, etc. especially in the Post season vs the Champ Lakers...

    Whether we like it or not, I believe our new NBA-Proven Core would essentially be: Battier, Scola, Brooks, Hayes, Landry, Lowry, Ariza, and Barry.

    If we can upgrade then that's great, however you know what to expect from our New Foundation.

    I believe that anything plus this group of Hungry Winners, Hustlers, Talent, Team Players, etc. is Icing on the Cake.

    Don't be surprised if Yao and TMAC return much earlier than most people expect... ;)

    I still see no evidence of him winning a championship in High School, so he didn't? Don't make stuff up...


    So let's see here, we are trusting a player to lead this franchise, who has never won a High School championship, who has never been past the 1st round, who has never led his team to 60+ wins and a player who has frequently thrown this team under the bus. Yep, definition of reliable.

    There's extraneous circumstances behind every negative thing you mentioned Bizzle; regardless of whether you'll acknowledge them or just attempt to call them excuses - they are there.

    Mount Zion wouldn't of hit #2 on USA Today's rankings if they weren't champs buddy. The real question is does anyone really care about his accomplishments in high school?

    Regardless of whether if anyone believes in McGrady or not - he's busting his ass trying to make a come back. If he succeeds we ALL will root for him as Rockets' fans. If he fails.... he's gonna be crucified.

    It's easy to kick the man while he's down. Lets wait to see how he produces on the court before making any rash judgments.

    Who's making up stuff? Here you come with your delusional statements.

    Your probably the most closed poster i've ever seen. Done arguing with you.
