    I think MoT has a great offensive game. He got the spin move, the turn around J, the jump hook, range to 18 ft. Pretty good with his left hand. His footwork is excellent. The lean-in, almost horizontal, windmill slam can rattle the rim with the best.

    Being 6'-9, that makes him just a good player. If he was a little taller, he would be awesome. If he was 4" taller and 50 lbs heavier, he could dominate like Shaq.

    Yeah, imagine if Tracey McGrady were 4 inches taller and 50 lbs. heavier.

    Or Lebron James. Man.

    A lot of good players that are good players would be damn impressive if they were 4 inches taller and 50 lbs heavier. :)

    I think thats an interesting observation but one ive heard before..

    MoT sure has the moves and offensive capabilites but would being taller make him a better defensive player? maybe or maybe not but it would make it more of a factor.

    If MoT was 4 inches taller he would be our Duncan... hehe

    But if SF was 4 inches taller he would be Kobe. =P

    You described exactly what Shaq isn't.

    "My girlfriend told me to give her nine inches and make it hurt, so I f*cked her three times and punched her in the nose!"

    haha... i wish i had a girl that looked good i'd call her

    haven't heard that song in a long time...

    the offensive comparison is actually pretty good, but MoT doesn't have the athleticism and defense of even a smaller shaq.
