Tmac is a quitter and is puffed up and he should not have pull that gay ass stunt that he was going to have surgery before telling the media before the team doctors. Not only that he **** blocked a trade when we were to ship his ass out of here.
Same reason fans dislike Scotty Pippen. They both "stole" money from the Rockets, were divas and throw teammates under the bus. But Pippen is worst.
If the guy would have not made excuses, been accountable, not thrown Rocket players, mngmt and orginization under the bus, been honest about all injuries he had or did not have, gave his heart and soul on the court he would have been perfect! Honestly, it's just the way he conducted himself. If he manned up and not went about things "his way" fans could have dealt with mac if it was just the injuries. He did it to himself
Nvm i reread your post dragonz.. got what you're saying. But I hate the jazz for many more reasons than just messing up rockets playoff hopes.. but that's a different topic
I always loved tmac as a player bakk when he was in toronto i thought he woulda been a top 5 defender in the league.. In orlando he was always a beast n it sukks he never had a decent change to play and gel with grant hill cuz dey coulda been a special duo.. When he got to houston was in shokk for a month i was so happy.. I always liked franchises heart n fire but him for tmac was n absolute steal.. The problem i thinkstarted wen he first started to get injured he began to get pampered my the rockets management.. Did u see that chair he used to use wen he would sit dat was ridiculous.. He kinda got the lebron treTment they let him come in and out of the lineup so he figured things wouldnt change.. Then dmorey came and he put a hault to all that.. An im glad he did it was getting outta hand.. But i definetely dont hate him hes one of my favorite players ever n i wish him well.. I honestly cant think of Anyone whos given us rockets fans better memories since hakeem left than tmac.. I mean theguy was unreal sumtimes.. O well tho **** happens move on
I don't hate him but dislike how he handled his injury situations and pulled himself out of games&trade.
Hmm... is this an attempt to insult me in some way? I hope not bro, cause all your saying is I have ZERO flame suits on.. okaayy... fine, you win??
Maybe you should be thankful that he blocked the trade. Did you see Vince Carter this year? Orlando would probably trade him for a ball boy... "We'll throw in the trainer..." What's he make about $16M this year?
1. He could never pull a Lebron. a. Lebron took his team to the Finals and conference championships. b. Lebron plays fulls seasons for Cleveland c. Lebron honored his contract and didn't ask to be traded. d. Lebron wins MVPs, not DNPs
this shouldn't even be in the GARM. the player you talk about is NOT a Rocket and is current actively seeking a team that will tolerate his presence. When he retires you can put a Tmac Rockets thread here. not Orlando. Rockets.
Ok i LOLd at that.. but what I mean is you have to admit he played hard when he could.. i don't remember him physically GIVING UP on us like lbj did against Boston, and don't say he played hard because he didn't.. letting us down with injuries.. different sorry.
Tmac was great at times then sucked at times when injured(hes abit of a diva)....he made bad decisions when he was injured goods, and caused problems with the franchise moving forward. I dont blame him Houston rocks(I love Houston), so as most people got mad and pissed, I was like damn poor guy really loves Houston(but dont feel poor guy, for anyone who makes 20+mil/yr). He doesnt want to leave for anything, but thats handleing your business wrong and hurting the franchise. So most people get Look at Yao hes injured and the way he is handling it. You will not get the hate on Yao as on Tmac. He is straight forward and modest. That attitude will never get major hate, and will get 50% respect. As much as Tmac upset me since the Dream CHAMP years I'd have to put best Rockets in this order.
