55...You don't agree?

That video clearly demonstrated who is better. What more proof does one need.

If it's on Youtube it's true

My first NBA game I ever went to was my hometown New Jersey Nets against the Orlando Magic and Tracy McGrady in his first season with Orlando.

Tracy dropped 40/10/5 that night with 3 steals and 3 blocks to boot. It was an unbelievable performance to watch for your first real-time NBA experience, and I have gone on to respect Tracy very much his career.

That game was actually the second of a back-to-back series with the Nets that year. They had played the night before in Orlando where he managed to put up 31/9/4 with another 3 blks and 3 stls.

People write off Jordan's Wizard years because we didn't win much, but he was giving people the BIZness. Before he got hurt that first season, he was dropping 25ppg at 38. C'mon son.

And yo, i'm mad they let Kemp play in that shape but wouldn't give him a chance after he lost all the weight.

Yeah, MJ could still play but he lost his explosive hops and was mostly an overweight jumpshooter. He couldn't get to the basket with one step like he used to be able to. He relied on trickery at that point in his career.
You do have to give him credit for almost compelling the bogus Wizards into the playoffs though.

T-Mac is pretty brolic these days but take a look at his size back when he was in Toronto or anytime before he started having injury trouble. dude was not big at all. and just because he may weigh more than kobe doesn't mean squat. kobe is a solid dude. isn't mcgrady a little taller anyway?

i remember t-mac going on record saying he didn't like lifting because he felt it affected his shot

Agreed. I actually enjoyed watching MJ in the Bullet years rely on skills, and trickery. Personally It showed how great he really was. Who scores 51 at 38 years-old, 43 at 40 years-old on bad knees? Incredible to me! Not a true failure people make it out to be.

Dang, Brankles got banned?

Re: TMac Scoring 43 on Jordan (2003)

How the heck did Brankles get banned? Dude was pretty mild mannered from the posts I've read from him. Just cool altogether.

I think he did something in the Boardwalk Empire thread. He needs to be back for the NBA season though.

Anyway, something that I always forget as well is that MJ ended up playing with B. Russell in Washington. How

I will never for the life of me understand why people defecates on Jordan's comeback with Washington and makes it sound like he ruined his legacy. What he did was truly amazing, no player in the history of the league could have done what he did during that comeback. It was such a joy and a treat to see him during that time period.

The block that killed Ron Mercer's career by itself was worth the entire come back.

I thought if anything it made his legacy all the more impressive. I mean imagine getting your *** kicked by a guy who is physically a b**** compared to you. it just doesnt make sense how him scoring 40 points at 40 is a bad thing.

Re: TMac Scoring 43 on Jordan (2003)

T-Mac is hands down one of my favorite players. I love watching him play for the Magic, despite how horrible that team was. I enjoyed his first 2 years in Houston but after that stuff starting going bad.

I'll never forget T-Mac in his prime, when he was arguably the best player in the NBA at the time.

Re: TMac Scoring 43 on Jordan (2003)

Yeah it's a shame T-Mac never really accomplished anything great in his career.

Well judging from this summer, people seem to have a big infatuation with "legacies".

BTW RIP Brankles. No idea what happened there...
