i just wanna say happy birthday, and i hope he will stay in the city!! (sorry for that little thread, but whatever)
Yea , I hope he has a big ass party and that makes him stays in O-ToWn hehehe.. 25 yrs old lol wow , with all he does and has done he looks like 30...or more.
I never knew that T-Mac was so young, i thought the guy was like 30-35 if not older because of all of his accomplishments. I must have forgot he came straight out of high school. Happy B-Day T-Mac..
What accomplishments? Getting the Magic to go 19 straight losses, promising a win over the pistons last year when they were up 3-0, just to loose...? Maybe he can grow up now, instead of acting 12, maybe he can act 25...anyways happy birthday

He became the youngest player to average 30-plus points per game since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77 and the youngest since Bob McAdoo (34.5 ppg) back in 1974-75. -Voted a starter at the 2001 and 2003 NBA All-Star Games -Dished out a career-best 13 assists @ Philadelphia on March 17 and recorded a career-high six steals vs. Denver on March 15. -Captured the NBA's Most Improved Player Award and was named to the All-NBA First Team in the 01-02 and 02-03 seasons. Tied a franchise playoff record with 42 points during Game #3 on 04/28/01 vs. Milwaukee . -Recorded a rookie season-high 22 points and 8 rebounds against the New Jersey Nets on 2/13/98. -Scored 9 points, in 10 minutes, in the Schick Rookie Game during the 1998 NBA All-Star Weekend in New York. -Made his first career NBA start, totaling 13 points and 5 rebounds, against the Washington Wizards on 12/31/97. -Made his NBA debut against the Miami Heat on 10/31/97. -Named the USA Today Player of the Year and the North Carolina state Player of the Year by The Associated Press after his senior year at Mount Zion Christian Academy. Those are just some of his accomplishments... Not to mention his career high 62 pts :mrgreen: What's next for T-Mac? he is only 25...you've done all that how about a championship? maybe next year? Jordan had a few bad years...
Happy Birthday Mister Mcgrady. Wish him all the best in the next season and let see some wins for the Magic.

He hasnt gotten them out of hte first round, he didnt even lead them to the playoffs when they were supposed to be top (this year). Yea he has had a great individual career, but I dont see him winning a championship within the next 5 years if he doesnt switch teams.

Plus, Jordan had bad years, yeah, but the worst record we had with him was 40-42 and he was a rookie. Plus, T-Mac hasn't got his team past the first round yet. Do you really think that the Magic have a chance at the Chamionship next year? Anyways, happy b-day T-Mac

Do you even read what it is you're trying to use as evidence?
Hey, Adulterer/Alledged Rapist Fan, T-Mac never promised anything. The media blew what he REALLY said out of context and morons like you believed them. Any true NBA fan knows T-Mac didn't guarantee anything. Not like how Rasheed Wallace did the other night. Until the Adulterer wins anything WITHOUT the Big Diesel please don't ever post in here again. Oh yea, Happy B-Day to T-Mac!
See what happens. A good thread like this which was made two celebrate a Magic player's birthday is ruined thanks to haters who hate on T-Mac. No one man can do it on their own in this day and time in the NBA. Everybody knows that. So why do you all keep coming up here dissing t-mac in every thread we have about the guy. Can the kid get some peice. Damn you don't see me going in the Lakers forum dissing Shaq for leaving Orlando or for doing like crazytown just did(Not pointing anybody out) and dissing Kobe on his rape situation. This thread was made for everybodu who wanted to wish Tracy a happy birthday not to diss him. Damn how is this site going to get better when we have s*** like this happen 24/7?

Until Tmac can shut his mouth and play ball, and never quit on his team...then I will start paying attention to some of the stuff you say. And BTW, I will post where ever the hell I want to post at.

If so you can do this over AIM or PM. All you've been doing is putting down a player who has absolutly no help on his team whatsoever. Physically and mentally. Kobe has had shaq since before my time. Sure Tracy has had Grant and Armstrong but where are they now? Nowhere. Grant is sidelined and Armstrong is in charlotte chilling with B-Diddy. Like I said in my earlier post. No man can do it own his own in the NBA nowadays if not ever.

Season MVP) does the Adulterer have? Yup, the same as T-Mac. The Big Diesel can win a ring with about 5 other guys in the NBA. Why? Cause he is the most dominat player in the NBA. As for Kobe? Um, none. Since I know you just recently jumped on the Laker Bandwagon let me give you a lesson about the Lakers. He has the luxary of playing alongside Shaq. He RARELY gets doubled/tripled team like T-Mac gets EVERY single night. Heck, if you watched Game 2 you'd see Shaq was the one getting tripled and even quadrupled team which leads to the Adulterer on man coverage and open shots. The Adulterer's defense? Haha. It's so overrated it's not even funny. Anybody can play tight defense on someone if they have a 7 foot monster guarding the post. Using your words: Until the Adulterer wins ANYTHING on his own, heck, if he would just stay faithful to his wife then I might actually start paying attention to him and respecting his game. OK, that's my last word.
Happy BDay TMac, hopefully you'll get something good for you and your team. Whatever that may be in the future. Offseason anyone
HAHAHAHA , Nice way to close down the thread crazytown , you can close thread Ice .. since B-Day was yesterday anyways I know what I pasted Animus ... want link?

Let me ask you this: Who is more important to their team, Kobe or Tmac? Answer: Kobe. Reason: Even without Tmac, the Magic suck. Kobe is the Lakers, the leagues most clutch player, without Kobe the Lakers wouldnt of won their 3 championships. If you say Shaq could win with any other 5 guys? How come He didnt win anything before Kobe? And why do you refer to him as the adulterer? Are you that immature. Should I refer to Tmac as the sore loser for sitting out the last two weeks of the season? For not having any faith in his teammates? If you actually watched a game, Kobe is doubled all the time, Minnesota has been doing it all series, it has been done in the past, and will continue. Shaq receives triple teams because he is the most dominant force in the game. And one thing, atleast Kobe plays D. How is it so overated? He has been selected to the NBA Defensive team atleast 3 times. No one is overrated if they can do that.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting crazytown:</div><div class="quote_post">How many NBA Finals MVP(or even a Reg.

Isn't wearing NBA rings on your fingers all that counts besides all these other accolades? Kobe has three and possibly winning a fourth when it's all said and done. Something Tracy hasn't accomplished yet. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting crazytown:</div><div class="quote_post">Since I know you just recently jumped on the Laker Bandwagon let me give you a lesson about the Lakers.

And I believe he made the cut for this year as well.

With everything he is going through from all these court issues, to flying back and forth to make it time for Laker games, and still playing with a competitive mindset, and is on the verge of winning a 4th title, is simply nothing to hate about. And uh, that's my last word.
