AI definitely played at the right time, analytics would have had him done in a lot sooner.

Let's not forget how much the league was changed to guard players like AI (illegal defense being taken away). Stern hated AI, but I honestly out T-Mac above both Wade & AI lol

T-Mac never gets hurt, he'd be top 5 at SG. Dude was better than Kobe for a 1-2 year period.

I agree. As much as people want to dog on T-Mac for not making it out of the first round, the numbers he put up in the playoffs year in and year out pre-injury were mind-boggling. Carrying that garbage Orlando team took a toll on his body definitely.

He was better man. Not a lot of people agree.
I thought it was like a 2-3 year period, 01 02 03 ish?
Brought it up once and **** hit the fan so I was off it quick.
I concur though

Catching up on the thread today.
That "Condoms? LOL." Mt. Rushmore pic.
@ the Cavs' super team talk and "Nuggets/Knicks got fleeced" now that it looks like Cleveland is putting it together.
When the trades went down it was
"Shumpert is washed."
"Two first round picks for Mozgov?"
"Trading Dion Waiters to get JR Smith?
" Full disclosure, I was skeptical about JR trade myself; called him Waiters Sr.
The trades really jumpstarted the Cavs' turnaround. Cavs needed a big badly, even before Varejao went down and Shumpert and JR look rejuvenated since they left the Knicks.
Will all this translate into a NBA Finals run remains to be seen though.

I'm a big Kobe fan and I gotta admit in 2002-03, this was a discussion. T-Mac was lights out that year.

guy was dominant for 8 years.
3 year stretch where he was just as good as Kobe if not better.

Exactly dude was like 5'11 and 165 going at dudes hard every night and we'll never see a player like him ever again. He was being guarded by guys that were 4-5 inches taller than him in every matchup. IDC how much shots he chucked up on those Sixer's team, Dude is one of the best players ever imo for what he was able to do.

T-Mac was one of the faces of the league. Sad to see no team gave him a chance in the end. Pop should've played him in the Finals over Ginobili, could've been the difference maker.

its honestly a shame we never saw Yao and T-Mac 100% healthy for more than a couple of seasons.

Man, if Wall is hurt, he needs to rest up and heal. Seeding doesn't matter as much as his health and he isn't doing the team any favors by playing hurt.
He's going to trick their chance at a run, off.
