This shyt is disrespectful as hell. You can't sit here and say Allen Iverson "never won shyt" (or T-Mac). Never won a championship is not synonymous with never won shyt. The fact of the matter is Iverson accomplished more than probably 95% of NBA players ever and most likely accomplished more in his field by the time he was 21 than you'll accomplish in your field by the time you're dead.

I have money

He doesn't

I never understood T-Mac. He was like a souped up version of Joe Johnson with more injuries and a lazy eye to boot. But it's not his fault he got injured at the wrong times. He was amazing during those mid 2000s.
T-mac was much more than a souped up Joe Johnson. He was a decent defender (great when engaged, the Rockets/Mavs series in 2005 is evidence as he guarded Dirk the whole series), he also rebounded well, and was an amazing passer. His insane scoring ability is obviously why he's remembered fondly but he was a jack of all trades. It's a shame he was injured so often because he really was one of the best talents in the last 15 years.

Tmac was mentally weak. But he was lebron james talented. Tmac was a special talent that just underachieved. But he didnt have squads. And his coaches let him down. Jvg coaching style was outdated. Jvg aseemble his roster like it was the nineties and that held tmac back. He didn't take chances with talent that wasnt a superstar. Instead he just surrounded tmac and yao with all these old b*stards. We had fukking juwan howard starting in 2007 in a playoff series.dude brought so many corpses to houston in the mid 2000s, mark jackson:stopitslime:, david wesle:russ:y, bobby jackson:upsetfavre:, juwan howard, bobby sura:ehh:, rick brunson:sadcam:, vin baker:mjcry:,rod strickland:comeon:, charlie ward:scust:, and mt.mutumbo:wow:.

He didnt give no young talent any chance. Especially from overseas...

Tmac was so talented that jvg style of play undermined his talents. We was always at bottom of the league in pace for no good reason other than all the damn dinosaurs we had on our roster.

Bonzi wells had just had a career year in sacramento and jvg wouldnt give him no play in houston because he was was husky and looked outta shaped. Which was some bullshyt.

Jvg is a great analyst but he held back tmac and yao.

The first round series victory against dallas was so gratifying, because they effectively lost because their roster was old an slow compared to houston and that's how houston fans felt in 2005 against dallas butbat least the greatness of tmac willed them to 7 games.

People love these guys but they never won shyt in there careers

Never went anywhere Especially tmac

People ignore ai shooting 39% multiple times

They jus look at his highlights and claim he got a tm full of bums to finals

that philly tm was a good tm and fit larry browns system, similar to det

Tmac never even got past 2nd round and was inefficient

Neither was nvr as good as lb kb wade kd

I would probably take melo over tmac and ai also depending on the type of tm i would build

Don't forget Ryan Bowen :heh:

I bet if they had Scola they probably beat Utah in 07 and maybe Dallas in 05. Tmac and Yao literally had NO help in those series. There was a game where ONLY 4 PLAYERS SCORED against the Jazz. FOUR Players. How can you win a game when you get ZERO points from your bench?

be -800 in the red and think anyone gives a shyt about your thoughts, brehs

Negged for disrespecting tmac:umad:

:whoa:

There's green posters who garbage as fukk

Not all red are garbage, I agree. This particular poster is though

I didnt mean to put all my red brehs in a box like that :francis:

Peak T Mac is under appreciated actually. His 03 season was stuff of legend

Team success is just that. Dependent on the play of a team

I wouldn't look at someone who lead their team to the Finals as a loser.

:francis:Thought I wouldn't get that daily neg... thanks for stepping in, I couldn't have done it without you:blessed:
Props to everyone who negged the OP. You know this is @Sausageman right? Same exact spam and bait style thread making. Only thing missing is stanning Andrea Bargnani
