    Total speculation. Wouldn't tolerate. He was going to make him an even better player.
    I get the not total success story but saying he could not play alongside the best player is absurd and not true.

    Vince Carter was a cousin and was not the better player.
    In other words, you predict problems.
    That could happen but no question MJ was going to do that without Pippen.

    Not sure why people ditch TMac. Here you have TMac score thirty points and have like 10 boards, and he does it with the best defender in the game on him: Bruce Bowen. Also you've got a young Duncan at the rim waiting to swat his shot. I'd like to see Harden score 30 points on Bowen and Duncan and the mid-2000's Spurs defense. Take Harden. He'll only score like 15-18 with a really good defender on him (like Iguadola) and even guys like Courtney Lee can slow Harden down.

    Also, check out the other players on the floor along with TMac at the end of the game... Yao, Scott Padgett, Andre Barrett, and some guy named Gaines. Still the Rox win the game against the Spurs with that lineup and had a pretty darn good year overall too. TMac was always willing to give interviews after the games (even after losses), was very involved with the community, was the team leader on and off the court (Harden doesn't even talk--excerpt to KD, never mind lead), and was a great pal to Yao. What's not to like about TMac?

    Where's the video of T-mac when in crunch time he would drive the lane with bad intentions? And why are there no videos of T-mac passing?

    I got a great idea for the tmac fans.

    Remember when you thought santa clause and the Easter bunny were real ?

    Just pretend tmac won a championship and an MVP and will get his number retired with every team and won an Olympic gold.

    I mean you guys pretend he was as good as Kobe. What's taking it to another level ?

    I keep forgetting the tmac fans had no concept of the Pippen debacle.

    Pippen going to the rockets was a huge deal because he won championships .

    Tmac going to the rockets was based on excitement that he was a scoring champion and an all star.

    Pippen went there because of Charles and dream, he was free agent.
    Mcgrady got traded .

    Two different scenarios, two different players who rocket fans boo.

    For all his faults he helped give us fans some memorable moments that I'll never forget, and for that I'll bite my tongue on any perceived failures.

    But its a damn shame some fans still carrying around hate.

    Monk and protege begins to cross a river. Both, because of teaching, can't touch women. Monk helps a girl cross the river by giving her a piggyback to the dismay of protégé. After crossing and dropping of girl, protégé questions the Monk about touching the girl. Monk responds, "I left her at the bank, why are you still carrying her?"

    Don't twist it. MJ was going to be good with McGrady. How good that is up to the BBall Gods.

    Tmac was as good as Kobe in his peak, also, what happened when Kobe had a scrub team past shaq and pre gasol? Did he make it out of the first round?

    Wow. I didn't got on CF and boom, all out TMac War.

    Lin War = War on Terror
    TMac War = Cold War

    Why is anyone still fighting the Cold War is beyond me. The USSR does not exist anymore, in case you didn't know.

    How do you explain TMAC's playoffs stats? I'm curious how you are going to justify your hate.

    The answer is zero playoff series victories when a starter for any team.
