    How right you are!
    And the answer is: Mark Cuban will spring for him to be the 11th man in the rotation.

    Too bad about the D-League rules. It's the perfect place for T-Mac to spend next season.

    seriously dude,
    listen to yourself.

    i'm just using facts.

    last year t-mac was injured. last year kobe was the finals mvp.
    switch them.

    and t-mac's 'injury' wasn't someone hit him in the face like the year cartwright elbowed hakeem.

    this guy came into the season brittle.

    durability is an important factor. the great ones have it.
    the fake ones don't.

    I thought you meant if you plugged T-mac into Kobe's career lols

    I mean his done but i don't doubt both of them had crappy team mates.

    That's an ignorant thing to say. Plenty of great players didn't have "durability". Are Penny and Sampson "fake" because they were not durable? Is Yao Ming fake because he hasn't been durable the past few years? Greg Oden is fake too right? Sorry, its not like "durability" is a skill you can learn or add on. Yao isn't a slacker like T-Mac, yet he has sat out many games. Some people are just injury prone. I don't think its fair to knock anyone for not being able to stay healthy. All our bodies are different. There are certain injuries that can hinder your career worst than others. Ask Mr. Barkley if it was easy to play ball with back problems. Hell, he didn't even retire because of his back. It was a quad injury that took him out.

    before you go on. the criteria is that the player you compare has to at least win a playoff series. And Barkley won the MVP and took his team to the Finals.


    go on.

    You forgot to add complaining after the game about not getting enough touches.

    But you see, Yao does that stuff all the time and no one gets mad at him for it. :confused:

    There's no doubt that T-Mac had the potential to be #2 as a Rocket behind Hakeem.

    Stands at half court watching his team play 4 on 5 and getting rid of the ball when it gets passed to him? (IE QUITTING?). Nah, Yao gets tired and doesn't want the ball, but I can't think of anyone who has pulled that crap. Even Worrell and Bull were disgusted, and they are paid to be homers.

    It was the moment I went from a TMac supporter to a TMac despiser

    The only 2 things that Hakeem and Tmac have in common is the letter A and the letter M.

    Show me when Yao has ever gave up on the team and stood at the half court line playing hot potato. Show me when Yao has ever given up on working hard to improve himself. In fact, one of Yao's biggest problem is working TOO hard as opposed to T-Mac's not hard enough. Show me when Yao has thrown his teammates under the bus and picked his team to lose. Yao is a consummate professional and team player. While he may express concerns about changes, he is willing to give it a shot first, because that is what leaders do. The only problems I have with Yao are that he is injury prone, overpaid, and easily neutralized. He cannot help being injury prone, but he does not let that affect his attitude with the team. As far as being overpaid, I just hope all the money he makes for Les pays off for it. Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to trade Yao for a center that gives me 15/10 the entire season. Unfortunately, for lack of better options, he is stuck with us and honestly, there are FAR worse things we could be stuck with... *cough* T-Mac *cough*

    My bad... considering how dumb some of the posts on CF are, I have been conditioned to take everything here literally unless there are smileys... :eek:
