    One criticism which seems to get under Rocket Tracy McGrady's skin is the knock that LeBron James passes up shots when the game is on the line, the Houston Chronicle is reporting.

    McGrady says that passing the ball to an open man instead of taking a well-contested shot is just smart basketball, and people should get off LeBron's case.

    "That's just making the right basketball play," McGrady said. "You have to make the right basketball play."

    "People will always criticize a great player like that if they don't take the last shot," McGrady said. "People will criticize them if he takes the last shot and he misses it. You go through a growth period, but he was making the right basketball play."

    "There were times it turned out he might have/should have taken the last shot, but he made the right basketball play. He was trusting his teammates. Even Kobe (Bryant) is finding that out. You have to trust your teammates. You can't always take that shot."</div>
