I guess we'll never know what SF and Yao could do together. SF is more of a penetrator than T-Mac, but T-Mac is a more effective shooter because of his height advantage. T-Mac does make better decisions in crunch time also but just like SF he's prone to jack up jumpers when taking it to the basket would make more sense. I still say the trade for T-Mac was a better deal for Houston than Orlando. The only thing that can change that is if SF proves to be less injury prone than T-Mac which to this point in their respective careers SF is a more durable player. The Magic have a talented young team. Will they have success before the Rockets do? Only time will tell.
I can't belive no one has mentioned Vince Carter yet. Every year, this guy gets hurt and sits out games because of hangnails, (I'm calling him a big pansy). He is the Eric Lindros of the NBA. So much talent, always getting hurt. I question his guts especially because of how he said he quit in Toronto. How many games was he "hurt" when playing there (I realize this could spark a "what about T-Mac" debate but I think if you look, T-Mac kept playing). This guy was supposed to be the next Jordan or 'Nique. Yeah he can sky through the roof, but he will never be on the same level as 'Nique (one of the most underrated players EVER).
Wow...are you for real? He lead a team of Blazers with no other Hall of Famers on it to the finals...TWICE. Both times, he lost to arguably some of the best teams in NBA history: the Bad Boys of Detroit in 1990, and the 1992 Chicago Bulls.
Yeah i gotta agree with a few others and say Rasheed Wallace as well. I thought in his portland days that he could have been the best PF in the game. But his attitude and reluctance to be the man stopped him. Although he is in a comfortable place now and at least he is contributing and winning as opposed to riding the bench and complaining about it.
