Guest Ripper Report post Posted May 2, 2003 Oh come on. Thats crap. T-mac averages only a few less percentage points in steals than Kobe, gets more block shot and the Magic as a team play better Defense than the Lakers have this year. I could give 2 shits about the voting of all Defensive team, most of those awards are crap anyway. Unless you really do believe the Karl Malone was the league MVP in 99 and not Duncan...

Agent_Bond34 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 So, where are all of you fools who kept saying that Tracy McGrady is better than Kobe Bryant? Which one's team choked away a 3-1 lead and LOST? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChris Report post Posted May 4, 2003 After McGrady proclaimed himself as already in the second round, no less. I said this somewhere else...Kobe may not be better (although it's certainly debatable), but he's sure a hell of a lot smarter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent_Bond34 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 It might be 'debatable' whether or not Bryant is better than McGrady. However, McGrady is a fucking playoff choke-artist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 4, 2003 No he isn't...His team just can't muster enough points to help him... Orlando ARE choke artists...TMAC isn't... Although I like the guy...He oughta be slaped by 5 pissed off Tiger Fans (the entire fan base mind ya) across the eyes 3! TIMES and then one last ROUGH slap.

Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Has McGrady ever... 1. Won a championship? 2. Scored 40 points in 9 straight games? 3. Been on the all defensive or all offensive team? No, so he isn't better. Like I've said before, T-Mack is a great player, but until he can do what Kobe has done he isn't as good or better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Does TMAC Have 1. Shaq to carry the team That is the single difference maker there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Does TMAC Have 1. Shaq to carry the team That is the single difference maker there... The Lakers could get rid of Shaq, thus releasing all that money and hire a better supporting cast for Kobe and the'd still win. Yeah, Shaq is part of Kobe's success but he isn't the reason Kobe is a better player then McGrady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Nope...KOBE can't carry a team...It isn't in his Makeup...He needs Shaq so he doesn't feel pressure..When he does he goes 20 for 57. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted May 4, 2003 The Lakers could get rid of Shaq, thus releasing all that money and hire a better supporting cast for Kobe and the'd still win. One of the reasons the Lakers are so good is that they have the best center in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree. Kobe can't carry this team. Like I said before, the supporting cast isn't the best in the NBA at LA. With some consistant role players Kobe could easily carry a team.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Exactly...The "Supporting" cast is good with Shaq alone... With Kobe...They flat out suck because KOBE can't lead a team... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted May 4, 2003 I hate to assume the Lakers could replace Kobe, with McGrady and they'd be the same team. The very well might be, but we don't know that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Here is where we can agree... Did KOBE spend time with IRAN BROWN? Nope. T-Mac did. I have more respect for T-Mac. KOBE would've been preoccupied with cleaning his diamond encrusted Cars... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agent_Bond34 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 No he isn't...His team just can't muster enough points to help him... Orlando ARE choke artists...TMAC isn't... Really? Why is it McGrady hasn't gotten his team out of the FIRST ROUND of the playoffs almost, if not, every time he's been in the playoffs with the Orlando Magic? He had a great shot just a few games ago to finally do it. And guess what didn't happen? He had THREE chances to do it and blew them all. And lets not also forget that McGrady shot 7-24 for 21 points in today's Game 7. Not very good for someone who is trying to get his team out of the first round of the playoffs for the first time in several years, is it? Face it, until he proves to be otherwise, Tracy McGrady IS a playoff choke-artist, just like the rest of that piece of shit team he plays for. I like McGrady too, I just feel that he's overrated until he proves himself to be a clutch player in the playoffs, where it counts the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lethargic Report post Posted May 6, 2003 Why is there a argument over Kobe and McGrady? I'd take Paul Pierce over either one of them. Allen Iverson too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ripper Report post Posted May 6, 2003 Yeah...I actually would take Pierce and Iverson over them both...But when it comes to Kobe/T-Mac, I think that T-mac has the edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 6, 2003 I'd Take Iverson over Pierce just for the Marketing Edge... The arguement was TMAC Vs Kobe... Which is futile because there are about 6 better players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted May 6, 2003 P-square is pretty good. I hope he torches the Nets like he did the Pacers so Byron Scott can join Zeke on his vacation out of the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
