If this was written by Tmac, I have him all wrong. There is love in that poem. True love for a friend, not just a teammate. It's pretty amazing.
I hope u are right....If that is true, something good can happened next season when both of them can stay healthy.
I am wearing tears in my eyes, T-mac is really impressive not only because of his bball talent but nice personality. However, I can assure you YAO would never be reluctant to play for his country OR the Rockets, just save the crap of asking him to choose!
What does "black ring consumes your soul" mean? Maybe this is out there, but perhaps it means "absence of a championship ring consumes your soul" ?
The basic meaning shown in the last 2 stanzas was enough for me. While I couldn't graps the poem in its full entirety, I love the last two stanzas. That is real friendship and comradeship there.
my only question is, if tmac wrote it, how does it end up on JE Skeets' blog? That's pretty random. My instincts tell me that Skeets wrote it.
It's a poem. You can't use poetry as testimony. That would be like arresting a rapper for assault/drug possession/gun possession/rape/murder/etc because of what he said in a song. It's not great, but at least it's not one McCants' poems. Have you seen that crap? Go to his website, it's ridiculous.
