As much as people hate to admit it, McGrady's time as a Rocket has been better than Clyde's (not accomplishment wise, though I'm sure you get the same if you switched the two).

Round Mound of Rebound - #1

The rest are CRAP. UTTER CRAP.

Well, that Olajuwon guy was OK...
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Yeah, I remember doing this already. I kind of wish people would think of original thread ideas... like whether or not we should fire JVG.

Glad you looked up the thread, I sure didn't want to.
JordansBulls needs to change his sig to "Starting threads I don't ever read since 2006" ;)

FYI, I'm 29, but didn't watch basketball till 1994, and wouldn't trust my judgements on anyone prior to about 2004-2006. I did my research and established opinions based on that thread, same as almost everyone else. I doubt there's many (maybe even not any) people on this board that are 50+, aka the old timers who know everything by default virtue of being old.
Morey 2020.
