Skeets Wednesday, Feb 27, 2008 4:10 pm EST Thanks to Wolves' wordsmith Rashad McCants, more and more of today's NBA players are picking up the pen to express themselves through poetry. It's a beautiful thing. And today we showcase one such poem: Tracy McGrady's poignant piece entitled "Broken Wall" ... I ask you to pull a chair, Wall Stretch and lighten and peel away your frustration Create a window and walk thru to me They tell me, Wall that the rings have blinded you That a red ring chokes you while the black ring consumes your soul They tell me, Wall that the torch weighs heavy upon your mighty frame That your corners ache not the trembling floor All they want to demolish us, Wall I see it, feel it They take Great pleasure in cracking our foundation But one nail can't break us, Wall One chip can't stop 'chips We will build you again, Wall Stronger But until then I shall hold you Us Yes, yes stress THIS We will rise again, Wall
is this for real i like it. shows he's got that fight in him and he isn't giving up. i hope they both get to rise to the championship, they're such great guys
Mmmm...the article seems to indicate that Tracy McGrady wrote it. Thanks to Wolves' wordsmith Rashad McCants, more and more of today's NBA players are picking up the pen to express themselves through poetry. It's a beautiful thing. And today we showcase one such poem: Tracy McGrady's poignant piece entitled "Broken Wall" .. The author of the article writes that NBA players are expressing themselves. This, coupled with him saying that they are showcasing such a poem, implies that the poem is McGrady's.
I think the writer of the article, Skeets, is clearly saying that TMac wrote the poem. Dont see where the confusion is.
I see where you are saying, but see below: If McGrady didn't write it, why would he be talking about NBA players picking up the pen? Anyhow, there is some ambiguity.
wow amazing and very touching if TMac wrote it. I feel for him. The whole poem would only make sense if TMac wrote it. e.g. where he wrote "they are trying to tear us down" and how they will attack... anyways Amazing Poem. We will Rise!!
another one: "Wall Beneath My Wings" Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. It must have been cold there in my shadow, to never have sunlight on your face. You were content to let me shine, that's your way. You always walked a step behind. So I was the one with all the scoring titles, while you were the one with all the strength. A beautiful face without a name for so long. A beautiful smile to hide the pain. Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wall beneath my wings. It might have appeared to go unnoticed, but I've got it all here in my heart. I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it. I would be nothing without you. Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wall beneath my wings. Did I ever tell you you're my hero? You're everything, everything I wish I could be. Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wall beneath my wings, 'cause you are the wall beneath my wings. Oh, the wall beneath my wings. You, you, you, you are the wall beneath my wings. Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high. Oh, you, you, you, the wall beneath my wings. Oh, you, you, you, the wall beneath my wings. Fly, fly, fly high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky. Thank you, thank you, thank Les Alexander for you, the wall beneath my wings.
