Not alot of talent by any means. But we're not talking about his lack of a championship. We're talking about not winning a playoff series. I don't recall this 3-4 year stretch where he was the best player in the league...if that ever happened then the talent level must've been fricking awful. If you're the best player you can carry your team to a playoff series win at least once

team stat
look at the list of his teammates in playoff games. i posted it (from the article). could anybody win a title with that group? no
this is TMac's line during his prime...in the playoffs (also from the article)
quote:
29.5 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 6.5 apg, 42.6 mpg, 43-30-75%, 24.5 FGA, 9.1 FTA, 25.4 PER, 35.3 usage
he played his arse off in the playoffs during his prime

in the early-mid 00s, it was Shaq v. Kobe v. TMac

again, team stat. he did his job (look at his stats). the teams around him just sucked
was KG suddenly a HOF player when he was traded to Boston?

The consensus top 5 players from the early-to mid-2000s were:
Shaq
Duncan
Kobe
T-Mac
KG
With guys like Dirk, Webber and Iverson getting consideration. T-Mac led the league in PER in 2002-03, when Shaq was still in his prime. And that was on an Orlando team that had nothing around him.
