    It's already a known fact that Tmac is a quitter.. and instead of using actions to turn the corner and change our perspectives on him, he'd rather talk up a storm..

    Well that quitter is trying to come back and play. What actions can you do when they won't let yo play yet?

    I personally thing Tmac had good defense 1 on 1. Then last couple years he just feel off defense completely, im guessing because of his injuries and lack of motivation.

    It was in the book, but it didn't read to me like he's blasting McGrady. He was just trying to be humorous by contrasting McGrady and Artest.

    This is great. All the cracks are busting open about the type of guy that most of us knew McGrady has been for quite some time.

    I don't hate the guy and actually wish him success and happiness somewhere else but it's great to see him exposed. Run him out of Houston.

    Tmac Fan Club suicide watch is on!

    Kobe’s breakdown of a flaw in Tracy McGrady’s(notes) floor game (the Mamba says T-Mac isn’t good at coming back to the ball after he’s given it up, making it easier for an active defender to deny him possessions).

    Thanks. I remember reading this quote somewhere as well. Kobe noticed a weakness in McGrady's game. KB is a pretty thorough student of the game.

    Battier's defense has fallen off anyways.

    Okay, this is so not the same as what people are claiming Kobe said.

    As for DaDakota's comment about Quentin Richardson..LOL. QRich is the epitome of quit (what has he done after getting his contract from PHX? That's right, nothing), I wouldn't take anything coming from him seriously. As I recall, T-Mac absolutely scorched him after he made those comments.

    Something a true T-Mac fan would say.

    Let's face it....Battier isn't lying and he isn't wrong either. T-Mac is a lazy defender and player that likes to tell others what to do before telling himself what to do. People just don't realize that T-Mac is not even close to his prime years anymore, which seems to get more and more overrated each and every year.

    It's tiring, T-Mac is a loser, a quitter and a wuss and some of you STILL can't accept that.
