I dont think Wade is a jerk either, but he said Wade turns it on a bit for the camera. I wasn't speaking on my opinions though, just what was said in the book.
Can you guys really blame some of these stars for being a jerk nowadays? I mean most "fans" are totally buttholes anyways. Take that one guy who laughed at JVG at Starbux for being fired. If the story is true then I would probably be the same way had I been a star.
Many years ago we were told that a couple of Rockets would be at a hospital visiting patients. I can't remember who told us (I think it was the hospital). We were in the hospital when a couple of players showed up, if memory serves me correctly it was Cassell and I think Mario Elie. The politely asked that the media leave and they weren't there for the publicity. That's the best kind of charity work. Now there are times when people like TMac have to publicize their charities, that's how they raise the money that support their causes.
Sighting of Tracy McGrady I've got lots of news/translations done for Yao Ming this summer so far. Let me dig out something for Tracy McGrady to give the TMAC lovers a treat. Following are photos of Tracy and Clerenda dedicating a completely new state-of-the-art technology center and library at Betsy Ross Elementary School with receipts (US$150,000) he got from last year's 2nd Annual T-Mac Celebrity Softball Tournament.
And he is going to do it again this summer for another school.... He just announced the 3rd Annual T-Mac Celebrity Softball Tournament.
OOPPSS !!!! I didn't realize this event had been posted in another thread. Site Administrator, please help to move the above photos + posts to that thread to avoid duplication.......
Yes it is. Hopefully Chuck won't have that same event. I interestin' if Tracy will invite Juwan for the party?
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if players were dicks. I read about the "constructive" comments fans make on this page, and then I think, what if T-mac reads this. Gees golly if you got Trade T-mac Threads every two weeks I would be dick to fans too. Especially during a 52 win season before anyone knew what was going to happen in the playofs
http://blogs.chron.com/nba/2006/08/a_good_change_and_a_shocking_d.html As For Tmac, Does anyone think he should stop doing this interviews? He didn't say anything too overconfident but weren't we all mad at him earlier in the playoffs. The quote about him being good in Adelman's system, I hope he lives up to that and shows us what he can really do.
