That, at the very least, is 100x more impressive than Gasol being on the cover of a video game. Not only did Bosh star in a blockbuster movie, but he so convincingly played the role of a dinosaur so flawlessly, I thought he deserved an Oscar.
That's much more impressive and difficult that someone taking an action shot from one of your games, adding some graphics and whatnot, and putting it on the cover of a video game. It basically took zero effort from Gasol.

[QUOTE=StateOfMind12]Tmac was better than Kobe in 2002, not 2001 or 2003 though. His 2002 season gets underrated, I think it's arguably better than his 2003 season.[/QUOTE]
What about 02 makes you prefer it over 03?
Re: #64 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
These Pau votes must be troll votes. No one actually believes he's the 64th greatest player of all time do they, its no way. If he is in, Tom Chambers and Terry Cumming should be gettin in also.
Re: #64 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
This is why I don't like voting for these things.
Posters try to convince others to vote for their favourite player, over other players with better resumes and more of then than not, there's almost no attempt of context or actually reasoning as to why they should be there.

Tmac was a better all-around/two-way player in 2002. He played very good defense, rebounded the ball well, and his scoring/playmaking have always been there.
2003 was when McGrady stopped playing on both ends and didn't hustle as much.
People always compare McGrady's '03 season to Kobe's '06 season but I think McGrady's '03 season is actually more like Kobe's '07 season.
I say this because Kobe played pretty good defense in 2006 while his defense was legitimately non-existent in 2007 because he coasted on that end. There were plenty of players that burned Kobe in that 2007 season such as Redd, Arenas, and more.
2003 was when McGrady just started conserving energy for offense and then he did it permanently after. He played some decent defense again in 2005 but after that season his defense was done for.

Re: #64 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
It's a toss up between Dennis Johnson and Robert Parish. Parish has the better longevity, but DJ had the better peak. I'll vote [b]Robert Parish[/b] because he was probably more servicable for longer imo

Re: #64 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
Dennis Johnson
Was All-NBA first team at one point
Was All-defensive first team and an all-star for three franchises
Was a Finals MVP at one point
Was a top five MVP candidate at one point
Was arguably the best player through fourth best player on three total Championship teams
Averaged 21-6-4-2-2 during 1979 playoffs leading the Sonics to an NBA title.
Look at his playoff contributions to the Celtics.
1984: 2nd in scoring, 2nd in assists (17-5)
1985: 3rd in scoring, 1st in assists (17-7)
1986: 3rd in scoring, 2nd in assists (16-6)
1987: 3rd in scoring, 1st in assists (19-9)
1988: 3rd in scoring, 1st in assists (16-8)
His numbers always went up in the playoffs too.
DJ deserves to be next.
