Rtarted? God, your parents must hate you for the embarrassment you bring to them.

Kobe Bryant, not only is he an adulterer who had a fling with a 19 year old, but he is the most cocky, phony, and overall biggest [expletive] in the league. Always cries to the refs too when they don't suck him off.

omg that looks nice n fresh

He'd be the #1 WR on the Chicago Bears. .

He's not a great defender even when he tries to be. It has more to do with his inability to defend, not his laziness. But worthless? I don't think I'd go that far, realistically. And comparing McGrady to Pistol Pete...really? Charles Barkley didn't win anything, either...but that doesn't mean he wasn't a great player, because he's the third best power forward ever. You say you used to be a fan. Well, there's a reason for that. You can't suddenly dismiss why you were a fan just because of McGrady's current state. He used to be a very important asset to his team, from Orlando to Houston...but things just didn't work out in either city. Hell, Yao choked in 2007 against the Jazz. He shot 44% from the floor and still attempted 18 shots a game, along with McGrady's 39% shooting. And in Game 7 against the Jazz, it was Yao's pathetic rebounding (6) and his 9/20 shooting that contributed the most to Houston's loss, not McGrady's 29 points, 13 assists on 48% shooting.

Yao Ming. He is a [expletive]ing [expletive]. Can't even stay on the court. What a [expletive].

TBH, you shouldn't even be posting anymore.

07-08 The Nuggets were lead by Iverson and had 50 wins, but were an 8th seeded team and were out of the playoffs in the first round. The Pistons that season, being lead by Billups, had 59 wins, were a 2nd seeded team, and made it as far as the Eastern Conference Finals to lose to the team that won the Championship. The following year, Billups and Iverson get traded. With Billups as the Nuggets' new leader, the Nuggets increase to 54 wins as the competition in the West grew, increase all the way up to being the 2nd best team in the West, and made it to the Western Conference Finals and winded up losing to the team that won the NBA Championship. The Pistons, however, with Iverson as their new leader, fall to the 8th seed with 39 wins, and, of course, are out in the first round. Sure, AI was injured for that series, but would you have expected a different result if he had played? And what about Billups? Remember, he got the same Pistons team to win as many regular season games as Orlando did that year. The results don't lie. Yea, we all know AI can score, but does he actually make his team better? Perhaps in the right system, but the thing about Billups is that he actually makes his teammates perform better. It's more than just distributing the ball well, and hitting the open man. It's his leadership. Coaches say he's like an extension of the coach on the floor. A floor general. AI, on the other hands, is what you call a "ball stopper". He kills ball movement out of pure selfishness. He prefers to have pretty stats than to win games. Even during this offseason he continues to prove how much of a selfish player he is. At his age and point in his career, he still refuses to go anywhere less than the #1 option on his team, even if it guarantees a championship. Another special thing about Billups is how he affects his teammates both on and off the court, but the thing is, so does AI, but not in a positive way. When Billups is able to get fellow "Thugget" teammates J.R. Smith and Carmello Anthony to show up in games wearing dress pants, AI is inviting his teammates to party all night (yet he still has enough ego to say that he leads by example). And about Carmello, perhaps there is still an argument that he could be more valuable than Billups to the Nuggets, but one thing is for sure, Melo is a much better player with Billups on the team. And whether or not Melo is more productive than Billups on the court, Billups is still the one controlling the pace of the game, talking to his teammates and giving them advice, setting the example.. things that you can't put a stat on. I consider the former Finals MVP to be more valuable than both AI and Melo for one main reason: Leadership. It's the most important role on the team. You never see any team win a Championship without a great leader. Kobe, Shaq, Wade, Duncan, Garnett. When it comes to dominance, Billups doesn't touch those guys. When it comes to the amount of impact he has on a team, he's right up there with them.
