    i would take Yao because u cant find many big man like yao. hes gifted and talented in the paint. not many can guard some1 7"6. But tracy is also good. but he cant stay healthy. And im still wondering can he lead us. it was the combo of artest and yao. not tracy and yao.

    :confused:

    You explicitly said "Top 5 SG don't settle for long jumpers when the game is on the line."

    but of course, lol, feel free to go back and qualify your argument after it has been thoroughly disproved. anything else you would like to add?

    that's not the point. you claim elite SGs never take long range jumpers to win games or down the stretch. i just posted the elite perimeter players who DO take long range jumpers (or at least 18 ft out) down the stretch most of the time.

    kobe and jordan LIVE AND DIE by jumpshots down the stretch primarily.

    tracy isn't as good as those guys, thus he can't make those consistently. but your argument is that tracy is not a winner b/c he shoots jumpers.

    Great way to single out 1 quote, when i keep stating the overall them about T-mac, he almost always settles for the long 2 ball when the game is on the line.

    Kobe
    Wade
    MJ

    Had game winners from all over the court, not long 2 ball at the key.

    I already gave you the link how T-mac did from 2003....He isn't that great.

    Lebron had 20FTA compared to 8 for T-mac when the game is on the line, it should indicate LBJ drives a lot more than T-mac.

    Lord, I gave you a link, use it. I am amazed if you still think T-mac is clutch during game winner shots.

    Long 2 ball at the top of the key is one of the worst shots you can take.

    Like I said, I am not going to post against you, its pointless if people are unable to open their minds.

    You think T-mac long 2 ball is great, I don't, lets leave it at that.

    No my argument is T-mac takes long 2 ball at the top of the key 80% of the time vs Kobe, Wade, LBJ who mix it up.

    32 FGA on game winners, makes 9. Shots 8 FTA. Compare that to Kobe, Wade, LBJ >>>>>> T-mac.

    Kobe, MJ, Wade Jumper >>>> T-mac

    tmac is a regular season winner and a loser in the playoffs.

    I am not saying Tmac is the only person to blame, I know he hasn't always had a good Roster but when the game is on the line and your best player almost always takes one of the lowest % shot, it just sucks balls.

    I guess you and thecabbage love our best player taking that shot, I don't and that is my point. Bring up all those mj, Wade, Kobe vids only mean one thing, they all won in they playoffs and they rarely make excuses on why they couldn't win it.
