I'd rather have Vince. More clutch imo.

But I agree. Tmac is so underrated around here, even without Fabtrey.

They're both underrated. Kobe's teams never went anywhere when he didn't have a good supporting cast either. Durant's team died last year after Westbrook went down.

Was VC really more clutch? I know T-Mac was way clutch.

That 13 points in 33 seconds doe

Adrian Dantley
Anyone wanting to get a line on Adrian Dantley the basketball star need only look at his career statistics: 23,177 points, ninth on the NBA career scoring list at time of retirement; a .540 field-goal percentage, one of the highest ever recorded by an NBA noncenter; and 30-plus points per game for four straight seasons. He was a smart, fundamentally sound player who relied on both strength and finesse.

I was holding out hope that Dantley would fall just a little bit further so I could put the final touch on the Jazz, coulda, woulda, shoulda team. Moses Malone, Magic Johnson, Adrian Dantley and Dominique Wilkins. That would have been a helluva start to the Utah incarnation of the Jazz. If not for the Gail Goodrich trade, it would have been possible. Probably means that there's no Stockton to Malone. . . but it would have been a damn fun team to watch.

Kobe's teams at least won some playoff series. McGrady never even made it out of the first round, even with Yao.

I've always been a T-Mac guy. I'd give him the nod over VC. Both were studs though.

Did they? I know the season he averaged his career high of 35ppg they barely made the playoffs and then lost to the Suns in the first round.

I stand corrected. But still, dude was the best player when they won two rings and the second best when they won three others. McGrady seemed like he was never clutch or never knew how to seize a moment. Thus, his first round exits. And he didn't play with scraps. Yao Ming, Battier in his prime...
 
Serious question.

Take the early 2000's Lakers teams, only replace Kobe with T-Mac.

How many Championships do they win?

Yeah, I'm not saying he's as good as Kobe. There's something missing with the intangibles. But I don't think they're as far apart as many try to convey. Kobe himself is a major T-Mac fan and always said he was the one who he had the hardest time guarding.

I hear ya. I feel like that Kobe comment is way overblown personally and just players blowing players. Hell, Kobe has raved about Hayward numerous times. And we all know how that's worked out.
