    Shit makes me sad.

    Guy had the talent in the world to be the GOAT. Like, literally could've been the GOAT.

    Should've stayed in Toronto, would've made the Finals 2-3 times at least.

    That's the funny thing today is superstars all want to team up, T-Mac had that gift wrapped to him and wanted to be "the man" on his own.

    He really had the potential to be great though. Before he turned 25 he had 2 scoring titles. He averaged 32 ppg one season. T-Mac was extremely athletic. He was just so versatile in every way

    If he didn't have injuries, who knows how good he would've been.

    but really how much did T-Mac contribute to making a team better? He was really gifted scorer but it didn't always translate into a team success.

    Pretty cool since he's there to give his take on it.

    T-Mac said fairly recent on Open Court that when they introduced zones his PPG dropped to 25 or so. At that point he was tempted to call MJ to ask for advice, but he didn't.



    Anyway, he's great but i don't think he could've become GOAT. To be GOAT you need sort of a perfect storm-- skill, luck, mindset, and timing.

    He had more than enough talent, but lacked the unrelenting drive and focus of the top competitors (West, Russell, MJ, Kobe, Bird and Magic).

    All T-Mac needed was a fire under his skin. Thats pretty much all he lacked. Eveything was there for him... the talent, the athleticism. He had all the tools but he just didnt have that competitive look on his face.
