Writing the Pine

HOW DARE YOU try to vote Tracy McGrady into the All-Star game? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! A PERVERSION OF DEMOCRACY! What did that loser do to deserve an All-Star selection this year? Is it because your favorite countryman can’t play in the ASG and T-Mac’s on the same team? RIDICULOUS! He hasn’t played ALL year! In fact, do you know what happened since the last time he actually played? The Rockets made it past the first round of the playoffs (something they never did with him) and pushed the eventual champs to seven games WITHOUT him. That’s right. The Rockets without Yao Ming or T-Mac put up a better fight against the Lakers than their Finals opponent, the Magic. When I think of T-Mac I think of:

T-Mac enjoys candelit dinners, long walks on the beach, and crying when people touch him.

He is Mr. Glass from the movie Unbreakable. But, Pinesol wasn’t that Samuel L. Jackson? NO IT WAS TRACY MCGRADY AS HIMSELF. He hasn’t played basketball since February of 2009 and he’s making over $20 million this year. That’s the guy you want to see in the All-Star game? I can almost guarantee he won’t be healthy to play in it anyway. Do the right thing. Vote for Deron Williams. Vote for Steve Nash. Hell, even Russell Westbrook is more deserving of a vote than he is. HOW DARE YOU CHINA!??!?
