    TMac spelled Isiah Thomas's name wrong in his post. And Isiah was the first person he mentioned.

    oh well. Maybe he still has time to fix it.

    One of my favorite players of all time. Sad things didn't work out with the Rockets.

    Pretty classy...for all the hope we had for the guy...at least he has his character intact...He was blessed with a gift...and he shared that with all of us...For all the kids that have dreams and aspirations to make it big...he made it to the biggest platform for basketball and that is the NBA...straight out of highschool...

    Just wished things didn't have to be this way for him...wish him and his family the best...thanks for the memories...TMAC #1...

    I saw his post earlier this morning and I was impressed with his words, but I'm also confused-- it sounds like the NBA is over for him, and I had always thought that some time might still give him a shot, particularly if he shows something in China.

    No gratitude towards Rick Adelman? Who could've guessed, for such a players' coach.

    He's in the right spot for decent beer. And the weather ain't too bad.

    I wore a TMac#1 t-shirt to work today and got mocked by kids wearing Kobe and DHoward jerseys (I'm a lecturer at Uni btw).

    [From Tmac] Goodbye NBA, Hello China

    A very touchy farewell message from Tmac:

    Goodbye NBA, Hello China

    There are times in life that a new road presents itself and it appears this time has come for me now. I am so proud of what I have accomplished these past 15 years playing in the NBA. It was a dream entering the league as I just turned 18 years old. I worked hard and poured my heart and soul into this game. I consider myself a student of the game as I have watched, studied and played with and against the best players in the world. The NBA was my University and I learned so much. The gratitude I feel is really immeasurable. I have experienced the best moments a player can experience and have had some dark ones too. Both equally important in helping shape me into the man I am today.

    As I leave the league for now, there have been so many profound people who inspired me along my way. I have to say thank you for guiding me and having an enormous influence on the way I played basketball. Isaiah Thomas, Rich Devos, Leslie Alexander and John Gabriel, you believed in me and I thank you. Jeff Van Gundy, you exemplified the brilliance of what a great coach is. Steven A. Smith, you gave us players a voice and for that I thank you. Doug Christy, Charles Oakley, Dee Brown, Mugsy Bogues, Antonio Davis, Dell Curry, Kevin Willis, you all showed a young kid from Auburndale Florida how to be a better player. Kobe, you made me work harder and it was an honor to play against you. And Yao, we shared an experience together that will always be with me, thank you. Sonny & Pam Vaccarro showed me how there is loyalty and genuine friendship in this business. Arn Tellem and Tim Hoy, 15 years and you are still my agents. Thank you for guiding me throughout my career. When all is said and done, there is so many that made an impact on my life. I am one blessed man to have the love and never ending support of my wife CleRenda and the best 4 kids a man can ask for. But most important, I give glory and thanks to God. It is thru Him that I have been so blessed and I am forever thankful.

    As I enter this next chapter, I am excited to play for Qingdao Eagles in China. I have been to China several times in the last few years and I love the people and the country. It will be an honor to play for them. Thank you to every fan that has followed me and believed in me. Injuries and all, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I am proud of the mark I left on this game and am grateful to have been a part this league. It was a dream to play in front of all of you, each night, in every stadium. Thank you.

    Sounds like TMac learned a lot from all those down years.
