14 years ago. One of my favorite basketball moments - just an incredible display.
Love it, have watched it so many times. It just keeps getting better
Prime and healthy McGrady was a monster. Younger folks probably only remember the injured shell of himself version but there was a short window where he was in the conversation for best player in the league.

Yes, the battles betwixt Kobe Fanboys and TMac Fanboys were the stuff of legend in the earlier days of RealGm.

"The Lakers focus too much on the names versus the games of each person," one prominent agent told ESPN after the loss to the Trail Blazers.

Early Rockets TMac? I remember him being my favorite player when he was on the Magic. Guy could fill it up like no other.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but that looked pretty messed up how ESPN gave Dame a surprise interview. Anybody watch that?

I **** loved the TMac/Yao rockets. Loved both those guys, and they had some good/fun role players too. Scola, Battier, Alston. That was a great (regular season) team.

Ron Swanson · Post #387 » by **Ron Swanson** » Fri Dec 10, 2021 4:17 pm

Would have been an awesome playoff team too if both those guys could ever have managed to be healthy at the same time. Prime Yao was one of the most skilled bigs I've ever seen.

And then didn't somehow that Rockets team go on around a 20 game win streak while both Tmac and Yao were hurt? Maybe my memory was off and one of them was healthy, but I remember it made no sense.

And I didn't bring that up to pick on Tmac or act like they're better without him. Tmac is probably one of the most overlooked elite stars ever in the league. Partially due to ringz/playoffs!!!!

Ha I was definitely on the TMac side. Hot take but absolute peak TMac was better than absolute peak Kobe. Now obviously Kobe had the better career. Added bonus I don't think TMac ever committed sexual assault.

That's one hell of a memory. They went on a 22 game win streak in 2007-2008, but it seems like atleast one of them was playing for the majority of it.

LaVar Ball is, in fact, Good.

I've grown to love LaVar. There's a zero percent chance that it isn't all an act at this point.

He probably smokes cigars with MJ and made a bet. "500K I can make headlines with your name in it." ::Uses LaMelo's salary:'

Dallas Indy games are good ones to bet on. Carlisle owns Kidd, I kind of wish I bet on sports.

Just looked at the East standings. It's crazy out there right now.
