yea TMAC still has that explosive 1st step although hes lost some of his athleticism he still has a good advantage attacking the rim w/ his length and he is by far the best right handed player that could finish w/ the left hand and thats why he's been able to attack the ring so far this season w/ success..he's using his smarts a little more.now that he doesnt have much lift on his J due to his weak knee. but man did i hold my breathe when he drove,took a hard foul and landed flat on his delicate back against the blazers.
