Oh, and I really don't care if T-mac does good or not.

muzyk, I'd actually like if you would contribute to the topic of the story instead of injecting your opinions why people like a player. This is a thread about Tmac geting older and some of the others like Kobe and so on.

You come in with an attitude like someone was calling him jordan, which noone in the basketball world is stupid enough to compare any wingman to him besides delusional kobe fans.

At least be on topic instead of whining.

Tmac being a step slower is not really news,he's always been a step slower on defense.

One of the things as you grow up in this game, the wear and tear on the body is significant," Jackson said before Sunday's 91-81 win over Memphis. "He's probably got 20,000 minutes now, or more, probably. Lot of playoff games. There's limitations of what you can do after you get some miles. He's going to return to a position where he's going to dazzle and be remarkable in some things out there, but he's never going to be 100% with that knee again.

"There was an early phase in which he like was the sole person in our offense and generated a lot of offense," said Jackson, who coached Jordan for eight seasons during the 1990s with the Chicago Bulls, winning six NBA titles. "And then there was a phase in which we won three championships in four years. And then he retired, and when he came back he was a different player. He knew how to save a step and how to take a different [approach]. Instead of taking it to the hoop all the time, how to pull up and take the 14-footer. At that time he was 34, 35, and he was really capable of judging what the game demanded."

In which phase is Bryant?

"He's moved into the second phase of his career where he knows what he can do at what times on the court," Jackson said. "Right now, he knows he can't do it for a sustained period of time. He's not in the condition yet. [But] he's still taking that ball to the front of the rim and getting smacked and getting in tough situations."

The boy always been a little "slow" look at them droopy-*** eyes lol.

Seriously though, Shaq admitted it about himself as well last year. He said he realises that he cant do all of the things he did at 25 years old, but because of Wade and the team they have around the two of them he doesnt have to which is why they probably will be in the hunt for another championship. He knows his role, so the team still runs like a well oiled machine.
