At one Point.....Tmac and Kobe were on the same level

[blazinrook]

on some nights, it would be a toss up on who would be better...

but today, Tmac no longer can be held on that high standard

He can no longer compete, he's always injured

So why is he still being voted on to the All Star team?

He is one of the leaders of all-star votes, i can't remember the last time he played a full season.

this is ridiculous...he hasn't even played a game this season

fans need to let him go...its sad to say but he's this generations Grant Hill...

Had so much potential, but in the end, could not stay healthy

tell em why you're mad son

 

[gabe gotti]

I agree with some of what you saying.

T-Mac used to be my favorite player on Orlando.

 

[tommykairaa]

[bigmike23]

i said it then and i will still say it Kobe was always better then Tmac.

 

[iknowrap]

02-03 season and a couple seasons after that, Kobe was Tmac's competition, vice-versa

I would agree to that Penny comparison, but Penny (to my memory) wasn't a straight scorer, more of a PG

hence the Grant Hill comparison

 

[hawkflight6]

He used to be one of my favourite players, now I haven't heard anything about him for a couple seasons.

Remember when he dropped 62

He could flat out play, but then he just dropped off completely

Tmac was the man for a few good seasons.

Exactly...T-mac fans are the only ones whoever thought he was on Kobe's level. Even at his best, he wasn't the complete play that Kobe is.

 

[airjordan jb23]

McGrady & Kobe were debatable back in his Orlando days. Even though I always though Kobe was better, TMac being compared to him was never out of thequestion.

Now, its clearer to who won that "battle". That aside, I still think McGrady could make a good comeback & be a solid player.

T-Mac was close, but never quite on Kobe's level.

 

[gabe gotti]

T-Mac used to drop 50 in 3 quarters like once a week. I forget the exact year, but I had, for some reason, NBA League Pass for free for longer then the usualpreview. And I was lucky to catch a string of games where he was going for 35+ every single game and they were all blow out wins.

tmac>penny


i swear some of ya on this board ride penny's nuts way too hard, and probably weren't even old enough to watch him play. don't get mewrong, penny was a great player, but he had like 5 good seasons and was playing with shaq. tmac was putting up numbers basically by himself in orlando, andpeople are underrating what he has done in houston. yea, he's a second round virgin, but how many times was his team favored to get out of the first rd(just like kg when he was in minny. heck, even grant hill hasnt made it out of the first rd)

kobe was always a better complete player, but offensively, they were very comparable during his orlando days.

There's both a thread about the All-Star votes and an NBA Season thread, just post it in there, otherwise this is just an A > B thread

 

[johnnyredstorm]

T-Mac was better than Kobe back in the day.

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

well hes not anymore, so move on....

 

[airmaxpenny1]

The man lead the league in scoring for two years, was All-NBA first team two years, second team three years and 3rd team 2 years. The man also once averaged1. 9 blocks per game, no small feat for a guard (obviously his height and length helped him but still). He has an evoultionary type of skill set, he justnever seemed to put "it" all together for whatever reason.

Plus, the man might have been the greatest video game player pre Bron. I swear he was a absolute menace in 2K2

False. He has but it wasn't often count his total 50+ games.
