Just because he may have the best stats doesn't mean he's the best player. Kobe is just as good offensively, but McGrady lacks Kobe's defensive skills.

 

Sorry, Andy, but T-Mac is far from the best player in the League. He does have very good offensive skills, but that's just about it. He has no drive, work ethic is suspect, and let's not mention his "defense."

As much as people like to bash Kobe, there's no question that he has a complete game and was well on his way to being the best all around player in the League before he slipped up and pulled those off court antics. Kobe is by far the best non-big man in the NBA...end of story.

I've always like T-Mac, but I sincerely doubt he will ever be as good as Kobe. It's kinda like Dominique and Mike. 'Nique was a very good player, but MJ didn't just have stellar athletic ability. He had the intangibles---court vision, a higher game IQ, and just straight killer instincts That's what put Mj head and shoulders above Nique, Clyde Drexler, and other other guys. Kobe has very similiar traits, which also separates him from players, like T-Mac.

What was the final score? -and- How the hell did the Kings get back from almost a 20 point loss?

 

They didn't. They lost by 24 pts.

Damn you Lackers.























GO Kings :banana:

 

good luck have fun

 

Hey Raazin,

Where have you been? I tried to call you last week and I couldn't get through to you. PM me your number if it changed (the one I called gave me some weird message).

Oh yeah. King got Own3d last night!

But those weren't the real Kings. They had an off night. We'll see what happens comes playoff time!

GO LAKERS!

 

I turned the game off in disgust. We need Bobby healthy. He seems to have a lot of resolve to score off the bench.

 

:banana:

 

Yea. That's the thing I have to admit to his lack of "greatness", even has a hardcore T-Mac fan (I'm collecting most of his rookie cards, got him on every fantasy team I've drafted, got his jersey, and I'm rockin' his shoes!). Nice comparison with Jordan with 'nique and Clyde. Nowadays, the same can be said for Kobe vs. T-Mac and Paul Pierce. Besides, T-Mac's just starting to get good in the past 2-3 seasons and he's got years ahead of him. I just think he just lacked that proper guidance and support to push his game to another level. He has the skills to be one of the greatest, IMO. I really think T-Mac needs to work on his defense again. I remembered when he used to average at least a block and almost 2 steals a game back in Toronto and during his first season with Orlando. I don't know any guard in the league who could average a block, a three, and a steal a game in a season.

Now LeBron. Damn, prior to this season, I didn't even know the kid was that amazing. Carrying his team to the playoffs and gives all the credit to his teammates anyway. Thanks to him, a few guys on that squad are having career seasons or emerging as great players (like Carlos Boozer). LBJ is awesome.
