Westbrook: If Yao Ming had teammates like Kobe, he would have realized his dream of winning a championship long ago!

Recently, McGrady has been talking about some controversial topics on the Internet. For example, McGrady said: If he had a teammate like O'Neal, he would definitely win the championship, and he could even achieve the great achievements of the dynasty of three consecutive championships. In the implication, McGrady believes that Yao Ming has dragged him down, and at the same time he is not convinced by his friend Kobe's achievements. Some fans agree with McGrady's views, but more fans and players refute it. Among them, Westbrook disagrees with McGrady's views!

He said in the media more than once: McGrady always overestimates his strength. Looking at his performance in the playoffs, it is really "terrible". He has never crossed the first round of the playoffs. It is worth mentioning that in the 2009 playoffs, because McGrady was injured and absent, Yao Ming led the team to defeat the Trail Blazers and entered the Western Conference semi-finals. With this comparison, it can be seen that McGrady is definitely an overrated star. If Yao Ming can have a teammate like Kobe, he may have realized his dream of winning. So it is not that Yao Ming is not good, but that McGrady himself is not a qualified team leader!

Although Westbrook said it a bit mean, as if he belittled McGrady to be "worthless", after careful analysis, it still makes sense. Many old fans should know that McGrady always "falls off the chain" at critical moments. In the playoffs during the Magic period, he led the Pistons 3-1 with a big score, but was defeated by the Pistons in three consecutive games. After joining the Rockets, he was reversed by the Dallas Mavericks and the Jewish Jazz in the playoffs. It can be seen that McGrady is indeed embarrassed by the task. At least he is very unqualified as the core of the team. This is still very different from Kobe. The team leader not only needs to have superb skills, but also needs a firm personality and a strong body.

McDy has a relatively soft personality. At the most critical moment, he always habitually collapses himself, and his body is also very fragile. He misses the playoffs due to injuries. Therefore, McGrady blames his teammates for his miserable career. This statement is obviously untenable. At the same time, he also seems to be very indecent and offended many fans invisibly.

Then the question is, if Yao Ming becomes a teammate with Kobe, can he really win the championship? The answer is yes. There was such an opportunity in 2007. At that time, Lakers coach Phil Jackson admired Yao Ming very much because Yao Ming had a high football quotient and could not only attack by himself, but also support his teammates, which was very suitable for his "triangle tactics". However, Yao Ming stayed with the Rockets for the so-called loyalty and missed such an opportunity.

Looking back, this choice is wrong. If Yao Ming had a coach like Phil Jackson and a teammate like Kobe, his career achievements would be much higher than he is now, and his career length would be longer than when he was in the Rockets. You should know that the Rockets coach Van Gundy's way of employing people was similar to Thibodeau's "Five Donkeys Tactics", and they were desperately using core players. This resulted in Yao Ming being seriously injured one after another and he had no choice to retire at the age of 31.
