    watch how tmac ran the break in this game (which was in the first week of the season still i believe). dude was fast and quick as hell.

    like we all have said, if he stays healthy (which is a big if), dude is still that scary scary scorer.

    Of course you are going to lose some athleticism that's expected but I'm not the one that is going to sit here and say that Tracy is the same Tracy as when he was younger because that is not true that is the point I was proving. Getting away from that Jordan was still able to come from the free throw line late in his career even in his last year playing from the Bulls I know... but that is Michael Jordan and imo is not a good example because he was the best... but even he lost some athleticism but he never lost his heart or endurance under pressure. That's the real question does Tracy has heart and endurance under pressure anymore and if he does why doesn't it spread out to other players on the team as he sets that example?

    Maybe Mac has lost a step , but he has proven that he can still finish in a variety of ways once he gets to the basket. His height and his length make up for the few inches he may have lost on his vertical.

    Many people dog him for taking jumpers, but that fade away is a very potent weapon for him. The man can still flat out score. Add to that he is a very willing and capable passer and you have a unique talent that is hard to find.

    Tmac frustrates me sometimes with his injuries and his lack of energy sometimes, but you gotta admit, this guy has alot of game left.

    neither does kobe or vince or any high fly act going into their 30s. tmac was 19 or 20 then. he was a young fresh teenager. you cna't expect him to be the same now.

    but he's STILL one of the athletic freaks in this L. he just has to stay healthy.

    he does, but is he healthy all season? the answer is no. that's why health is key for tmac. tmac needs to believe in his health to be a top 5 player. that's why his effort is so inconsistent during the reg. season b/c of injuries. an all-out tmac like you saw in the jazz series is still a scary player and a player that is only a handful in this league.

    jordan only went to the line 7 times after his 2nd retirement, which is not a high #. jordan's patented fadeaway was so great that he didn't have to go to the line 9-10 times. tmac just needs to try to stay healthy, work on his fts and shooting again, and just try to stay in a rhythm period. injuries disrupt his rhythm. hopefully him and his trainer will work on strengthening his body so he can avoid the stupid minor injures.

    That 360 after he pump fakes Deng and I *think* there was a foul call was wicked.
