    T-Mac was as good as Kobe. The best perimeter player after Jordan. Lebron now is better than T-Mac in his prime. But when he was healthy, T-Mac was amazing.

    The teams he led to the playoffs are amazingly terrible.

    t-mac in his prime was better than kobe. yes, the playoff resume does not support such a claim but in my opinion, t-mac was better.

    it's a shame that unfortunate playoff matchups and injuries never allowed his career to come to complete fruition.

    How good and sensational he was and look what he is now, damn, I really miss the good old days.

    In my opinion, while he was an Orlando Magic, he was as good as, maybe slightly better, than Kobe in his prime, and definitely the prime T-Mac was way too much for any defenders in the league to contain him.

    :( May God bless T-Mac and the rest of his career. He used to be my favorite player on the team and in the league other than Kobe Bryant. *sigh*

    you mean the same lebron that has already carried a team to the Finals in 07, beating a pretty good detroit team and a guy who wasn't playing as well as he is today, in his prime?

    I think this qualifies for the biggest joke in NBA history.

    I heard Dominique Wilkins was better than Michael Jordan.
    I heard that Brad Daughtery was better than Hakeem Olajuwon.

    minus the mvps and championships

    the funny thing about this is you guys are going to google to search 'dominque wilkins' and 'brad daughtery'...

    come to think of it, I think Tmac fans need to google Hakeem Olajuwon too, I doubt they know who that dude is.

    there were 2-3 good seasons of argument to who was better tmac or kobe. i dont even care to flesh out the reasons why because you have your little "dorky vernon" opinion and of course your right and those thousands of people are complete idiots to question it.

    let me throw this in there to :rolleyes:

    T-Mac would not be better than Kobe or LeBron because of his lack of defense. He may have been a better player offensively because of his court vision, but I would not say he was a better overall player. I think this 'highlight' video is imparing some people's judgement.
