Metta World Peace says T-Mac & Yao Rockets are best team he's played on

[@andycanoy863]

7'6 big man that can shoot & make free throws at a good percentage for his position, Yao Ming was a one of a kind center. Loved to use him in 2K. He was kinda OP.

[@chrxs61632]

Yao, T Mac, and Brandon Roy were the cheese classic

[@maharajakal2]

I'm glad he enjoyed his time in Houston. Love those rockets teams.

[@Galactic123]

One of the biggest what-ifs in NBA is if T-Mac and Yao could have managed to stay healthy together for a few years. They were really a tough duo to guard when they were both on the floor, and that Houston squad played good defense with smart role players.

[@smellslikemiddle-agedspiri8503]

That team took the eventual nba champion Lakers to game 7 with no Yao or McGrady. I’m positive that team would have won a championship if they had stayed healthy.

@@NoName-pp5kr Tmac was All Star 2008 the year before. Mac was still the best on that team he just got hurt in 2009 and played little games with Ron. TMac put up the best numbers vs The Utah Jazz in playoffs eventhough they lost.

[@siriusblack7714]

I remember that year like it was yesterday. Ron played like a beast for us that year.

[@censordat]

Yao was a beast! Bruh could shoot and everything. Post game crazy. That post turn around fade shit was unstoppable

[@tonychen3368]

He’ll just shoot over his defender with no regard, like the time that 06 Match up with Shaq being on the heat he hit an ridiculous shot to beat the buzzer. Insane.

[@andycanoy863]

Plus a solid free throw shooter compared to most centers that tall. 83% is very impressive. Most players would foul centers cause' a lot of them cant shoot free throws but with Yao, thats a different story.

[@freedbyyeshua533]

God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). We’re not sinners because we sin, but rather we sin because we’re sinners. Sin is the nature of our flesh that we are born with due to the sin of Adam in the garden. For someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless. We’ve all sinned (Romans 3:23), and the the law demands death for those who sin (Romans 6:23). God is righteous, so He must punish our sin, which is what He did through His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus is Holy and sinless, yet He received our sin when He died on the cross, so that we can be righteous before God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He died on the cross, He said “It is finished” (John 19:30), which means He paid the full price for all of your sins (past, present, and future) to be forgiven. He was buried and rose again from the dead. God will forgive anybody who puts their full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. We aren’t saved based on our good deeds, but only by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). His precious blood that He shed is the only reason why we can be forgiven of our sins (Hebrews 9:22). If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved (Romans 10:9). You are born-again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and are not only legally justified before God, but also are accredited His righteous (Romans 4:24). Believers live for Christ now, so get to know Him through His Word. I recommend reading the book of Romans and the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and watching Pastor Joseph Prince’s online sermons
