    Slam rates him the 20th best player in the NBA as of now. They don't seem to take age or anything else into the decision as they have some good youngsters later and some good vets later. It's pretty hard to argue the point without knowing who's yet to come in the rankings. But I'm sure someone will :)

    Thats pretty low for them to use that picture without crediting whoever made it in the photoshop the pain thread.

    yeah but didn't someone here do the original copy? I also have seen it as peoples avatars on other forums... but for media to use it... they should at least gave him credit. Unless it wasn't original of course.

    Well, I don't know whether to either be flattered or upset, both at myself and others, that many have taken it and used it as if they created it themselves.

    I mean, I made that almost a year and a half ago and it's been EVERYWHERE! :mad:

    Oh well, live and learn.

    They can't credit it if they dont know where it originated, and I don't think they said they created it either. If its all over the internet by now, then they could have got it from several different places. If i had created it, i would rather they credit no one than credit the wrong guy for it.

    What's funny is that I posted a comment at the bottom of the article telling them they used my pic (and have the layered file to prove it) and the moderator took it off.

    Ah well. LOL!!!

    HEY HEY, check it out!!!

    At the bottom of the article, they gave me credit of the image. Of course, I had to put a mention of the greatest fan site in the world.

    his inability to get out of the first round is the main reason in that article. can't blame them. tmac needs to win and needs to do it now.

    They have no reason to want to take the credit away from you man, as a frequent poster on SLAM, i can assure you they wouldn't do that or try to pass it off as their own. They always give credit where its deserved, even if you just email them a link to a story and they end up posting it. Like I said earlier, it just difficult to find the creator when its all over the place.

    It's still up. So, I guess the moderator didn't care that much that you made it.

    tmac is the best player without the 20th.
    Tmac, who has suffered a series of bad mental problems, is still among the best swings around the league, and no one can imagine how good would tmac be if he is healthy in mind;

    besides tmac, who is the second best player in NBA? I suggest Paul Pierce. I'm sorry to Paul that I just rank him in the second place next to tmac instead of considering him the best one he considers himself. If you just concentrate on his stats and his achievements, he can hardly be called the second best player in the league with 20+ppg and a championship he got with the help from KG n Allen. Capability? I think L James is more capable than him. Why does Pierce deserve the second place that even kb and lbj don't deserve? Kb has won no championship without shaq who has won one without kb, lbj did a great job in leading his team to the finals but was demolished 0-4. More importantly, will anyother player stay among the best wings after being kniefed eleven times? Paul almost lost his life after the terrible attack but he had come through, get back on his feet and even become as great as he is now. Who else will manage to do so? It's not difficult to gain fame and fortune, it's difficult to come back to life after grief. Tmac is a real man even though his first name sounds a little bit female, Paul is a real man with no doubt. Paul has won a championship ring he deserves, and I believe tmac will be gonna get one with Yao ron Barry morey..... all the rockets and les.

    What are you trying to say exactly? Your continuous attempt to be funny by making incoherent and senseless posts is getting old and annoying.
