If being called "She-Mac" is any indicator, I'd say some Rockets fans thinks T-Mac lacks more than just "heart".
Orlando sportswriters need new material. These guys are like the girl you dated for 3 months and 2 years later she is still talking like you just broke up and like the relationship was a significant one. Move on.
Maybe if their organization wasn't such a joke in the T-Mac years (they hired a HOCKEY GM to run things), then things would not have turned out as badly. Weisbrod was an ahole who had no clue about what he was doing so he blamed his team's superstar. Good job, Orlando.
talk about a bad break-up. It's like the girl who can't stop texting you that her new man has a nice car and treats her like a princess.....WHY SHOULD I CARE!
If you look at the career progress ups and downs, they are. You don't compare the numbers with a SG/SF and a PG. IMO Penny has achieved more than T-mac in his career. What others have T-mac proven other than scoring, but with only 43% career FG%. Penny and Shaq led the team to the finals. Penny single handly led Magic over the Heat in a playoff series after Shaq was gone. I don't recall T-mac got the team anything other than his personal scoring title. I was more amazed by watching Penny's highlight than T-mac's. He had such awesome passes and spin moves. He was one of a few who put up 20/5/7 with 50%+ FG. Both were amazing players ruined by injuries. I won't be surprised if T-mac will end up like Penny after the microfracture surgery he just had.
How sarcastic DD says that... Even I still believe, but TMAC is not old TMAC anymore....and Magic is lucky to have DH, and build around him
I guess it wouldn't be a McGrady discussion if Tinman wasn't around to bash him. Welcome .... By the way the old T-Mac did lead the Magic to a horrible 21-61 record but he also led the horrible Magic team to the playoffs year after year doing it all by himself. Scoring titles, all star selections, and MVP talks. There was even talks about comparing him to Kobe. So yeah McGrady is horrible.
Great post!!! As for the Micro-fracture surgery. I believe there is more than 1 type of surgery. I maybe wrong but I believe he got the lesser one. I don't think it was the same one Jason Kidd and Jamal Mashburn received.
All these years and they still talking about Tracy if I didn't know any better I would say deep down they miss him. They need to let this go the man had been gone for five years I mean how long will they hold on to this. Then they talk about Tracy taking himself out of games at the end of the season, I thought that came from upstairs so they could get a better draft pick.
So Orlando writers talking about McGrady after having Dwight Howard is like Angelina Jolie still talking about Billy Bob after having Brad Pitt. Recent Magic teams with Dwight Howard have had better records and actually ADVANCED in the playoffs than with McGrady.
'but he also' i'll add that to the T-Mac english class of excuses talk to me about championships and mvps I'm one of the Rocket fans who has a higher standard for the organization. I don't glorify the first round exits or do I care about the Orlando Magic
lol, t-mac's side now? Does it take some other team bashing him to awaken the love of t-mac, I mean he is one of ours so we should defend him from other teams. We're the only ones allowed to make fun of him.
he mentioned 1st picks that turned teams around into champions and shaq is one of them. But I thought Shaq bone out on them too.
You seemed to care about the Magic when it came to bashing McGrady. Also, you seemed to care about regular season when it came to bashing McGrady. Can't have it both ways, spoil sport.
I wasn't aware that bad times negated any good times... But if we're going to write off facts and legitimate points as excuses then I guess we might as well not have a conversation.... oh wait, that's what you were going for.. snipe McGrady and walk away patting yourself on the back.
