Thibodeau still says Mcgrady is a possibility, but shooting is first priority

This.

 

No I don't see where you're going with this. You've had no direction in your argument since you began discussing with me. You asked for empirical evidence, so I gave you "a" clip, because that's all you seem to respond to.

The difference is this. The clips of players getting the best of jordan on defense were rare instances. The clip I provided of T-mac getting burned on defensive was just an example of one of many occurrences.

 

Of course he cared, but you could tell that much of his "crying" and "it's on me" interviews were just theatrics to make himself look like he felt as if his soul was being ripped out if they lost. He cared more about the image of looking like he cared. Did you ever actually see a tear come from his eye?

At the end of the day, of course he cared to a certain degree. No player wants to lose, especially when "it's on" them if they do. But it became apparent during his last season as a rocket he cared more about auditioning for a new lucrative contract than competing to win. When he didn't get his way by getting the PT he wanted, he ran his big mouth, quit on the team, and here we are.

 

Did you even read the last part of my post? I said Jordan's clips of him blowing defensive assignments were rare occurrences, while T-mac's clip was just an example of what he did on a normal basis.

Well, at least I finally got through to you on one thing. T'mac was a "damn good player", but not a great.

 

I'm not the first one to say it. And I'm not saying his whole appearance is fake. I'm saying his hatred of losing looks more like theatrics then it does genuine emotion. Sure losing bothered him, but it appears he cared much more about getting paid than he did winning as evidenced by his last year with the Rockets.

 

I agree, It's definitely more about how he acted during his last year in Houston.

BTW, I got the mods to change my username while keeping the same account history and status. My username was similar to another's username and people got us confused, so I emailed clutchfans, and a mod let me change it. They may have only allowed it because of my particular case, but it's definitely worth you giving it a shot.
