Training camp is two weeks old. Where are the stories and articles about him having his spot ran?
I'll gladly read it. Also, within these articles I hope there are quotes from Kevin about said starting PG spot.
Your schtick is getting old.
I was going to say that T-Mac IS the best player the Magic have had
Then I forgot they had a guy named Shaquille O'Neal who took them to the Finals

Lin was always just a novelty move. No way Morey makes that deal if he knew he'd snag Harden and D12.
He's turnover prone, has Shakey passing skills and a weak jumper. He makes no sense in a starting 5 with Harden. He's basically a much worse YNb (Whackbrook).
He's exactly what you don't need if you're running with D12 and James. I'd he could pass or shoot he'd perfect for them. I doubt they'll give him any time to develop further, but ain't nobody want that contract.

Top 10 shooters in the NBA according to this stat:
1. LeBron
2. Durant
3. Curry
4. Calderon
5. Ibaka
6. Korver
7. Horford
8. Bosh
9. Dirk
10. CP3
Bottom 5
1. Monta
2. Greg Monroe
3. Sessions
4. Westbrook
5. Rubio
This stat takes into account where players shoots from but doesn't take into account defensive pressure on the shooter (and ability to score in the paint matters with this as well) so it's definitely not perfect for judging shooting ability but it may be a step up from other ways. It's probably debatable how worthwhile a stat like this is since players who are great shooters but shoot from terrible spots on the floor usually don't change their habits to turn their shooting ability into efficient offense, but it's kind of interesting.

This is what I noticed about LeBron's play and why is FG% was much higher. He took mostly good shots and if he took an outside 3, it was usually wide open off ball movement

Uh what?
Who was better? Shaq? Fuck him.
I have a soft spot in my heart for TMac. He did everything he could do for this city and this team. Nobody could have carried that garbage roster though. People forget how good he was. His season in 2003 was one of the greatest seasons. Ever. He should have won MVP that season.

Speaking of Simmons, I'm really enjoying his team previews on Grantland with Jalen Rose.
That makes him your favorite Magic player. That doesn't make him better than Shaq in any shape or form in the real world.
And for the record your "best" Magic player never scored a single point in the 2nd round and beyond.
oh boy do you remember this

Yeah because his teammates were the likes of Juwan Howard, Andrew DeClerq, Tyronn Lue and Fat Shawn Kemp.
Clutchfans article on this Lin nonsense.
I think that Lin simply fits better as a 6th man on that team and will do well in that role. It never really made sense having two ball dominant guards playing with each other anyway. Beverley is a more natural fit with Harden et al.
That one was a classic.
How about when his teammates were Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili?
Still scoreless.
He's only 33.
MVP level argument
"He's only 33" after literally breaking his back carrying those scrub ass Magic teams
I am not arguing anything. I am just laughing at him.
Shaq better than McGrady is not arguable.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
I didn't argue that McGrady was a better player than Shaq.
The years McGrady had with Orlando were better than the years Shaq had with Orlando.
Were you even old enough to watch those games? Or did you "watch" them like you watched the pre-season game that was never televised?
Shaq was just as dominant back then.

I'm at a custom bra store fitting and it's against store policy to let guys go to the back to see the fitting. This is cruel.

How is this even debatable?
Shaq's presence >>>>>>> TMac's presence.
Shaq in his youthful prime had the ability to steal or block, grab the ball, outrun the defense across court and slam it down. I can hardly think of any true center who would do that today. 90s centers were fucking epic.

I lived in Orlando for the tail end of the McGrady days here in Orlando.His year in 2003 is still some of the best basketball I've ever seen in my life. Nobody really appreciates how great he was in his prime, one of the most awesome and greatest players I've ever seen. It's amazing how people talk about how he didn't pass the ball when he was an amazing passer. He probably passed way too much given the garbage he played with.
The only Magic games I caught as a kid were the ones against the Knicks. I'm old but not quite that old.
But yes I will take Tmac because fuck Shaq.
I am excite
So you never watched Shaq during his prime then. Gotcha.

I watched all of his years with the Lakers.
He was just as good when he was with the Magic.
He never bothered to improve his game because he didn't have to, and that's my biggest problem with him.

Top comment:
"Shaq has more moves in that one warm up than Dwight has in 9 seasons."
Yep.

Pretty much.
Assuming you're talking about Brook Lopez in that picture, he has a 7'5 (2.26m) wingspan.

Even Jordan was impressed
I wonder what things would have been like if Jordan played with Shaq

Dwights best move is to pussy out when an alpha dog pushes him to do better.
Bitchass.
Since when was "pushes him to do better" the same thing as "Be a terrible teammate"?
Yeah? So you can continue to donate your surplus of $$ to broke knee Amare?
Stay Knickin
It's basically an open position between Lin and Bev. Mchale said he will rotate them from starting/6th man in preseason and see what happens.
