    TMac takes Duncan and Kobe over Yao? CHEESEBALLS.

    They even call out TMac for leaving his teammate hanging, and he takes Steve Nash. Yao Ming gets relegated to the bench.

    I mean, TMac's team destroys Pierce's team, but he still could've stuck Yao on there. Leaving Yao in the dark background is not a cool look. In the dark ages of 06-08, TMac and Yao were all they had on those teams. (Let's not forget the Rockets-Jazz playoff game where only 4 players scored.)

    Lol that Yao owned kg all day. If healthy Yao owned that years Shaq too. Oh and Timmy couldn’t contain Yao either, it was all thanks to pops strategy to take the ball off Yao and get guys to sneak over to get the ball off him.

    If Yao had better teammates all around he would have gone farther. He always had old dudes and not great players. And his coaches like Jeff over played him too.

    If I was picking I would probably pick Paul Pierce last. Maybe Yao instead of tim but pretty much the same way except shaq instead of KG. And the last two would have been Tmac and then Pierce.

    The Rockets wasted Yao and TMac's careers with some awful, awful rosters. It's a dark cloud that will always hang over the Rockets for me. But it also makes me appreciate Daryl Morey that much more.

    Bill Russell doesn't have much range. Hope you like the view from the bench, Russ.

    Yup, ... and probably would've won a ring if Mac, Yao, and Deke had been healthy throughout.

    You can apply "If" to everything.

    The fact that the team played better with Tmac was indeed a reason we got rid of him.

    Just because that team took the champion Lakers to 7 without Yao and Mac doesn't mean they wouldn't have helped.

    What a fresh conversation. Thanks.

    lol McGrady still bitter that Artest and Yao took the team to the second round while he never could.

    Instead he was at home rooting for the Kobe and Duncan, just like he was in this clip.

    Bad but having Duncan, KB and Lebron on the same team.......dope.

    3 MVPs plus that little Canadian dude that got 2.

    If it's strictly Fantasy without personal feelings.

    Pierce almost went small ball there.

    Who has the big pants on?

    Somewhere I'm kinda happy T-MAC and Mr Pierce are not actual GM's.

    Love T-MAC tho...
