Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
Paul George led a team to the eastern conference finals and playing well vs the Miami Heat which is suppossedly the most stacked team in recent history.
Vs
Tmac who never led his team past first round. Only had the 13 points in 35 seconds miracle.
Of course Tmac was undisputedly the much better scorer but George is the defensive version of Tmac with actual playoff success!

As far as a player goes, T-mac was on the level of prime Wade.
Paul George is where exactly again?

Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
T-Mac still plays in the NBA?

Paul George has become the most overrated player in the history of ISH.
And that's not an easy thing to do.

09 and 10 Wade had as much support as Tmac did while in Orlando. Similar results.

Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
what's more impressive/harder to do beating the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks while averaginG 17 ppg for the season with a great supporting cast.. Or average 32 ppg for the season with a mediocre supporting cast?
-
Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
If you replaced PG with prime T-Mac the second round would've been Atlanta/Knicks.

I think people put more value in McGrady cause he was such a smooth scorer. I's too early to judge but IMO George has potential to get better. Whether he becomes better than T-MAC remains to be seen.
People tend to forget George shot 41% this year :wtf:

Prime T-Mac is one of the best players i've ever seen. Nobody would put Paul George on that type of level yet.

Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
Doesn't George average like 17 ppg? Mac was doin that his last season in Toronto ...
-
Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
This player has gotten out of the 1st round.
That player hasn't.
:facepalm
It's pathetic how T-Mac's abilities as a player have been reduced in that way with little to no analysis of contributing factors.
The whole "curse" aspect is overblown since he only had one legitimate shot at advancing. It's not like he choked away every chance he got. He barely got any chances.

Current Paul George > current Tracy McGrady

George is slightly overrated right now.
Prime TMac is an all-time great. Bump this thread when Goerge can touch these playoff averages.

Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
Nobody puts Paul George on prime T-Mac's level because anyone who watched them play can see the difference.
George is an impressive player and Indiana is making a nice run, but if you look at some of T-Mac's teams in his prime, not only did he not have a player close to as good as West or Hibbert on those Orlando teams, but he didn't have a player as good as George Hill either. Not to mention, he was playing on a poor defensive team rather than the best in the league(I realize George is the better defender, but not by enough to make a bad defensive team best in the league) and a team that was regularly outrebounded, while George's team outrebounds opponents by 5 rpg.
Pretty obvious that it'd be stupid to compare team success considering the situations, and it's not even necessary when anyone with eyes could see who the better player was.

T-Mac had horrible luck. Yao would always fall apart right before the playoffs or T-Mac himself would get hurt. And those magic teams....were awful lol

Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
Tmac had everything: the prime, accolades, fans, stats and marketability.
He just never got a ring due to team, injury, and luck. If Tmac had gotten a single ring, he would securely be in the top 15 discussion.

Laughable comparison.
You put 2003 McGrady on the Pacers, that team might actually be favored to win the entire thing.

Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
Love how people always reduce a comparison between players to one thing. It's either rings or playoff success. It's like people forget that basketball is played with a team of 5. It doesn't take long to see that George didn't have a great regular season, or even playoffs until this round. But whatever these discuss never get anywhere anyway.

Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
Hes already better than T-Mac ever was, no one gave a shit about T-Mac so you dont see threads like this. Same reason why people dont talk about overrated craps like Marbury and Arenas.
:no:

Re: Why isn't Paul George > Tracy Mcgrady yet according to some posters?
T-Mac was right there with Kobe.
Watch their head-to-head match-ups 2000-2003 and you'll see almost mirror images dueling it out.

Twice Paul George's scoring on more efficiency :biggums:
"B-b-b-b-but defense!"
It's funny how people cite Melo's inefficiency in regards to Paul George, who is less efficient and shoots a much lower volume of shots :biggums:
Maybe if LeBron keeps leaving him wide open, he'll have a good series and he'll be the GOAT on ISH!

Paul George isn't even better than Dominique Wilkins. He's not even the best player on his team.
