Tmac wasn't one of a kind . We already had Kobe who was a better version of tmac.

My guy Beas about to win MIP next year.

Hopefully Derek Williams gives him a crash course in trickin off in NYC

Lol @ T-Mac blowing a 3-1 lead in the first round and prematurely saying felt good to finally get out of the first round

Was also the first year that the league switched to best of 7 in all rounds.

It's almost like his squads were cursed or something.

He had that one, went up 2-0 on the Mavs before playing a single home game, 7 gamer against the Jazz.

Wild that he never got out round 1. Miraculous really.

If Tmac never got injured he'd be better than KD imo.

I admit I'm irrational on KD and legit think he's the greatest basketball talent i've personally ever seen but HELLLL NO to this.

KD's peak is so high that to say someone would be as good as that if he was healthy is asinine to me. Like, KD's way too good for Tmac to be as good as that if healthy he'd be as good as that.

Essentially to me you're saying that Health was the only thing from stopping Tmac from being a top 10, top 15 player which KD will be once he's done.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

That has to be nostalgia talking. Because in his PRIME...I can't think of anything T-Mac did at a higher level than KD.

 

[P C H]

Nuh uh Clyde! You betta get em' back! You betta get em' back

man this gets me every time lol I love Magic Johnson

 

[cassanova brown]

The thing that gets to me about T-Mac is people act as if we didn't see his best. T-Mac's prime was 2000-2005. He was a great individual player who wasn't able to win in a pretty weak eastern conference. Now his teammates weren't great by any means, but there weren't super teams ruling the east at that time either. Then he went to a Houson and had pretty good team and couldn't do much there before the injuries started to take their toll.

Tmac was undoubtedly the better passer.

T Mac is wildly over rated. Still mad they gave him HoF over Ben Wallace

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Ben should be a lock to me. Dude was gettin like 13 rbs and 3 blocks for years at 6'7 or 6'8.

T-Mac was the face of two franchises for a decade basically, 7 time All-Star, two time scoring champ with averages of 20, 6 and 5 for his career before his injuries finally got the best of him while Ben Wallace averaged 6 points and 9 rebounds for his career and had like 6 years of legitimate relevance. He's one of the greatest defensive players of all-time for sure and was DPOY in 4 of those 6 years, can't take that away from him at all. He absolutely should make the HOF but there's no way in hell anybody should be actually mad that T-Mac made it before him.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

People overrate tmac Iverson and Gilbert arenas like crazy

 

[VARNELL HILL]

People overrate and underrate everyone.

There are people that believe Lebron and MJ are overrated.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Ben Wallace was the catalyst for the best defense I've ever seen. I know people don't care about d and i don't like how the piston did my Lakers in the finals but that Detroit team is appreciated if you a fan of grind it out basketball.

This Tmac vs KD argument is interesting but what do you guys think about Bron vs Kobe?

Now this is interesting and worth further exploration

Westbrook is better than both

Stats vs. "Mentality"

 

[akajae]

did we ever decide on how many imaginary rings Lebron has?

need to know before I jump into the Kobe Vs Lebron debate.

Baltimore Boys 30 for 30 on tonight at 8pm on ESPN. Reggie Lewis was on his way man. Tragic.

Speaking of "Freaks".....Don't think we'll ever see another Mugsy Bogues

A 5'3 starting PG who was a lotto pick, averaged a double double.....and was a key cog on a perennial playoff team. Brazy!

 

[Vicasso]

In terms of pure basketball skill I don't think it's close Kobe over Bron. But as a complete team player I'd say Bron over Kobe.
