    I don't think either of them really did right by Toronto, but that's as much the franchise's fault as anything else. That being said, McGrady left after a decent run to play near his hometown and lead a better franchise. Bosh left after a decent run to play third fiddle on a team attempting to buy a title. McGrady is the lesser of two evils.

    I'm sure Shaq gets some cheers, he's taken 3 NBA teams to the Finals.

    Why do you keep posting in threads about McGrady. Why can't you just ignore them, really is it that hard?

    ???
    someone brought up Shaq. Shaq still has lots of love in LA, you know they did win some championships. Am I the only person to remember that?

    I mean, you always post in McGrady threads and talking **** about him. I just don't understand it, why can't you just leave it alone now?

    How exactly did Chrish Bosh "sell out" Toronto? I'm not even sure what that means, someone explain please.

    A little background:

    He also said something along the lines of "Toronto smells different, when you get off the airplane you know you're in a different place" and that he couldn't get certain things in Canada such as NBA-TV (which you can).

    But I think the bigger problem is how management and Bosh didn't figure out a sign-and-trade. I don't know if it was Bosh's fault or managements, but Toronto ended up with nothing to show for losing their franchise player (except some cap space spent on Amir Johnson).
