    I only need two names. Stephen Silas and Kevin McHale to their coaching staff

    I'm with you on Paul and Harden both needing to be there... But it gets quite questionable on Durant and especially Sengun. TMac was close to TMax in 05-06, and fairly durable. Durant is a big question mark right now. And Sengun over Sampson... c'mon.

    Yeah, I thought that was funny. I remember David Thorpe being like - you guys don't realize how good Kevin Martin is and I was like - how come he only scores 20 a night but I also saw those stories from his teammates that explains why. Hats off to the guy for having a POV and sticking to it....I guess.

    I almost started him but I couldn't do Luis like that, he had to be my star player.

    you will see this year when we hoist the trophy. Don’t get me wrong. T Mac is my favorite player of all time but he’s not as good as KD.

    PG Calvin Murphy & C Akeem both would rather fight than play basketball at points in their careers. PF Otis Thorpe was a solid no BS player too.

    We should be talking compensation fee for whichever poor souls got beat to a pulp.

    Career for career or prime for prime, of course Durant is better. But 05 McGrady vs today Durant... that's highly questionable, to say the least.

    I think 05 TMac was also better than the numbers show. That's when NBA offenses were peak garbage for various reasons. There were almost no high scoring guards shooting even 45%.

    KD is still the most efficient scorer in history at this age so I would say yes. Literally lead the leagues in ppg in ISO last year. Consistently has 50/40/90 splits.

    KD is generational man. Probably the greatest scorer in history of the game. I love tmac. Even wearing my tmac shirt right now. He’s just not better than KD. Efficiency matters.
