Kobes the reason the pistons won in 04, the whole team stopped f'n with him so he tried to do everything himself which led to everybody leaving, lakers fans will never admit it, they gonna say a washed up malone wasnt healthy or "the pistons was one of the best defensive teams ever" 
nah it was #8 fault
I was watching a gp interview & he wanted to say kobe was the reason so bad but he just said the whole team wasnt on the right page

Tmacs biggest accomplishment is scoring 13 points in like 30 seconds in a regular season game.....that

That's where you're wrong, if they are real Lakers fans they know it was a combination of all those factors, Kobe's stubbornness being a huge part. But again nobody is saying he's flawless in the least, he's made mistakes, but his accomplishments are what they are. You can try and downgrade it all you want, but it's there and he's not done yet.
And so tired of people saying you disrespect somebody, just because some people don't view AI as this folk and cult hero that some do on here with him, Penny and even T-Mac doesn't mean we're disrespecting, just calling it like it is. Numbers and your eyes don't lie. It's funny really you put AI's heart into T-Mac's body and you probably have a top 5 player ever. One was too small to have an impact defensively on the game and the other had all the physical measurements, yet needed to visit Oz and drink more milk.

McGrady:
- led the league in scoring in 2002-03 (32.1 ppg) and 2003-04 (28.0).
- Was Top-10 in NBA blocks in 1999-00.
- Was Top-10 in NBA steals in 2004-05.
- Was Top-10 in free throws made from 2000-01 through 2003-04.
It's never as easy as one player.

McGrady never got out of first round in the weak East and he couldn't get out of the first round with Yao Ming

Yao only got through only one full season while McGrady was in Houston.
Any more hot takes?

Then in 2009 with Artest taking T-Mac's spot with a declining Yao Ming, the Rockets got past the first round and took the champion Lakers to 7 games

I like tmac cept when he was trying to flex on Kobe and Kobe had to do what he did to him.
I had to laugh at tmac for thinking he was better then Kobe. All kidding aside tmac was nice, but you can tell he didn't really care.. He could a been better.

Nah the facts are McGrady never got out of the first round
He was losing to Hornets 3-1 in the first round
McGrady and Yao played together in the playoffs 2 times and when McGrady was out the Rockets went to the 2nd round
