He also had an assortment of 2 motion pull up jumpers, where he released at the apex of his jump (very difficult to stabilize).

    People forget this context. Sure there are great top 10 players now but rarely do you have wing players like Tracy McGrady make the game looks so damn silky and so easy. People take it for granted until you get guards/wings now who wants to play like Harden to get a screen just so they can get some dribbles and try find someone at the hoop to finish on to get a call at. TMAC was gonna style on you at the hoop and if you think u got him, dude was just going to go straight vertical and dunk around you. It was beautiful.

Yao Ming was nice but was always hurt and wasn't the crazy dude who can do shit with the ball. Fuck there was a reason why the Rockets managed to get to the 2nd round of the playoffs in the 2000s without Yao/Tmac because they had enough depth to push through. But they also weren't gonna do shit in the 2nd round without some stacked talent. None of the squads prime TMAC had been (injuries be damned) had talent to help take advantage of his skills and push the team to the next level. Grant Hill was a supposed promise once he signed with the Magic but he was an absolute shell of his former self trying to get money after his time with the Pistons.

    Even if he shoots an inefficient 3, who else is stopping him 1v1 with the exception of certain match ups at mid range or at the basket? If anything what old teams didn't do TMAC justice was surrounding him with some competent talent such as 3 and D shooters, additional ball handlers or another reliable scorer. So TMAC had to put up a scoring volume with no real help just to get the kind of results for his team to try hang in late games.

    Nah. Swift never showed any polish on offense and outside of his athleticism, rebounding and rim protection he doesn't offer much. Heck you can get that kind of production out of most bigs nowadays with a solid floor (and questionable ceiling). Basically near end prime Tyson Chandler did it MUCH better and managed to win a ring with Dallas back in 2011.

    Because he needed his hip in it . Most of his shots was a between the legs shimmy hang cross to pull up off the dribble move as he was moving forward . Free throw he had to stand still no jump. I always remember wishing I could show em my technique. Also gotta factor he has huge hands so that free throw is gonna be tough and an entire different mechanic. He was never a catch and shot he was always a jerry west esk pull up jump shooter.
