You could make a case to t-mac being higher on the slam list as well, especially ahead of grant hill who never made it past the first round either.
To have kevin martin, david west, bynum, butler, kirilenko etc.. ahead of tracy shows the list is made out by idiotic amatures.
I know Tmac's game has dropped off some, mostly due to injury and being in the league 11 years, but #29!!!??? Does this idiot even watch Tmac play?? Kevin Martin, Melo, Caron, Arenas, etc... better than Tmac!? He lead his team to 3 50 win seasons when Yao was a.) inconsistant in 2004-05 b.) injured for 30+ games during the season (twice) Kobe couldn't do that without Shaq, Gasol, or Bynum. Lebron couldn't do that in the west. DWade couldn't do that with Shaq injured even in the East. I know those 3 guys are superior individual talents right now, but Tmac has done something those guys can't do on their own, win 50 games in a season consistantly in the tough west. Lebron and Dwade should be winning 55-60 in the weaker eastern conference. I mean, I understand if Tmac was listed in the top 20, because his efficiency isnt great, I think every Rockets fan knows that, but to say that guys who've never led their team to the playoffs as the lone option is terrible. Listing one-dimensional players in front of tmac is horrible too. Honestly, I would list these players better than Tmac because of talent or efficiency and leadership ability: Tim Duncan (best power forward ever to play) Kobe Bryant (most prolific and consistant scorer) Lebron James (Most dominat wing player in the NBA) Dwayne Wade (Very versatile and a matchup nightmare) Kevin Garnett (2nd best power forward of the last decade; does it all) Chris Paul (Best point guard in the NBA today) Steve Nash (Best point guard of the NBA from 04-07; 2 time MVP) Yao Ming (Best center in the NBA; luckily we have him on our team) Dirk Nowitzki (Most versatile 7'0 ever; extremely efficient shooter) Maybes: Allen Iverson (has an MVP) Paul Pierce (has a title as a first option) Dwight Howard (unstobbable inside and dominant rebounder) That is it. Anybody else listed is a joke. That means at best Tmac is top 10 player at worst a top 15. I'm leaning more toward top 10. That list the guy made was just an insult to the NBA. He had Andrew Bynum and Kevin Martin ahead of Tmac!!!
Fact tells the truth.If you ask any player in the league who they like to play with,TMAC, or some of other players ranked above him in this assessment,the answer is obvious. The game is of a team's work.Yes, we admit that TMAC's low percentige shot , but anybody having watched his game will not make such foolish miastake to say he is not among the best players in the league.He creates good chance for teammates to get ,leaving tough shot for himself.Rox used to be paralysed in offense without TMAC. Stats show something,still hide something. I don't see anyone with the so-called efficiency could dominate games like TMAC
Hey Clutch, find a way to get this article to Tmac, maybe instead of having a typical all-star year, he might decide to go out and be the beast he was in 02-03...just a thought
