McGrady: I ​​am a single core than Kobe. Netizens stand up for Yao Ming

Recently, NBA Hall of Fame member Tracy McGrady has frequently appeared, and some of his remarks have caused a lot of controversy.

McDie: If O'Neal and I were partnering with each other, how could we not win the championship?

This is McGrady's first remark, which seems to be a more normal and belongs to the conventional if-theory.

To a certain extent, at McGrady's peak period, he did not partner with a powerful star like O'Neal, so there is still a certain possibility.

But in fact, there are many All-Stars who have worked with O'Neal. In the end, only Wade won one championship, and Kobe and O'Neal won three consecutive championships together. The topic of

can be replied with this conclusion. During the three consecutive championships of the Lakers, Kobe will be replaced with another outside star. The Lakers may still win the championship, but they will have to win the championship for three consecutive championships unless it is Jordan.

Of course, some netizens also expressed their grudges for Yao Ming. McGrady, you said you have never partnered with a powerful star, so what is Yao Ming? You said that you can win the championship by working with O'Neal, but Yao Ming will also win the championship by working with Kobe. Moreover, McGrady's solo leads the Rockets alone was stopped in the first round, and Yao Ming's solo leads the Rockets alone passed the first round.

McDy: I brought 2 rookies with the Pistons, and it is not shameful to be reversed. This Pistons defeated the Lakers 4-1 next season.

is actually not wrong, but it is a bit strange to say it from McGrady! For example, some stars say after the team loses, "The team loses, I don't, I'm still honorable even if I lose!"

In competitive sports, there may be situations where there is still honorable even if they lose, but please remember that even if they lose, they must be words from others to comfort you, not reasons for you to excuse yourself.

McD also mentioned that stars such as Kobe, Curry have also been reversed by the lead 3-1, so this is not a matter for him. It's still the same. Kobe, Curry and other stars will not say that they are reversed by 3-1 lead and are still honored even if they are defeated, and they will not say that because other stars have also been reversed, so they are not ashamed. Since you define yourself as a star, you must be better than good.

Then it depends on McGrady's comparison logic. Oku is a historical superstar. Oku: My three-pointer is better than O'Neal Jordan Russell Jabbar Duncan, and my rebound is better than Kobe Magic Curry.

McDy: After O'Neal left, Kobe has not made a breakthrough in the first round for three consecutive years. Will it affect Kobe's greatness?

The previous speeches still make some sense, and this sentence is pure nonsense!

Kobe's greatness is not because he has not made a breakthrough in the first round for three consecutive years. His greatness comes from other seasons. If Kobe is still mediocre in other seasons and cannot break through in the first round of the playoffs, then what is Kobe's great?

05-07 is the lowest point in Kobe's career. Although he is online, he cannot lead the team further. However, in just these three years, before that, Kobe was an excellent second in command, winning three consecutive championships. After that, Kobe was an excellent leader, winning MVP and two consecutive championships.

If we talk about this period alone, then McGrady is indeed similar to Kobe. He is both the top scorer in two times, both of whom are in the first round or miss the playoffs, but Kobe is still the best defensive team during this period. Although he has made all his strength on the offensive end, he has not fallen behind. This attitude is what McGrady lacks in his career.

Apart from this period, McGrady is not as good as Kobe. Kobe + Gasol has 2 championships, while McGrady + Yao Ming has only 1 breakthrough in the first round.

In terms of talent alone, McGrady may be above Kobe, but in terms of process and result, Kobe is greater than McGrady, and there is no doubt.
