I think you need both in this league...... but I think players with TEAM fundamentals are better when their bodies are deteriorating like Tmac's. TMac is at that crossroads thet Dream and Clyde and jordan and a lot of great one on one players were. Its almost like their egos were hurting our team.... they still wanted the limelight even though their bodies were not the same any more. Guys with Team skills Barry, Anotnio Davis, Mutumbo have stayed in this league for a while because they are team players not athletic players who become a burden when they can't take it to others like they used to. I hope yao who does not have great athleticism but plays TEAM ball will be around like Sabonis and Divac were, and plays a big role in the team in the later years of his life. WATCHING MC GRADY go thru his basketball mid life crisis is hard to watch and even harder for his own ego to take. I JUST WONDER what the arguments are for TEAM FUNDAMENTAL BALL vs. Athletic one on one. I think athletic betters will eventually settle for shots they didn't get enough practice in the early years of the career and therefore can't make. Team players even on off shooting nights know how to keep the team competitive. I know you need both but maybe the TEAM player should be making the bucks for the long run instead of the knee injury waiting to happen one on one players.
Dude if we worked somewhere and a guy who was making the most never worked hard and rarely showed up, would you have a problem or just accept it? So if Tmac kills our chances you won't say any thing? Promise?
