The Tragedy of T-mac

Though the epic fail T-mac pulled on that layup attempt Steve posted was hilarious, I feel like I've got to get Tracy's back on this one. The guy is going through a rough time right now (personally and professionally) and I don't think we should all be hating on him. First of all, T-mac's self-stuff was NOT the most pathetic lay-up ever performed by a professional basketball player - that distinction belongs to David Wesley:

Secondly, T-mac's knee is not the only thing causing him pain as Yao apparently has "had just about enough" of his absences and injuries. If T-mac gets shipped out of Houston then we will never again get to see exchanges like this one:

That kind of touching man-love is almost unheard of outside of Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer's relationship in Two and a Half Men. So I think we can excuse T-mac for that Rapper Willy-esque layup this one time - he was probably thinking about how he's never going to get invited back to dinners like this one.

Finally let's all just celebrate T-mac doing something that everyone can enjoy... stomping all over the Spurs.
