'The biggest piece to me - the most telling piece about those games is the deficits they(Pittsburgh Steelers) faced in all of those playoff games. So, what is that? Not being prepared? Is that not being talented enough? They have to find the answer.
I say this, and people will get mad at me - I believe that Mike Tomlin is unfireable. I believe Mike Tomlin steps away from being a coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers - that should be his decision. And I've said time and time again, I do believe - that should be the decision he makes.'
Ryan Clark says Mike Tomlin should go have his Andy Reid-Kansas City run on another team
The NFL Analyst for
ESPN
, Ryan Clark, reverberated his voice, 'I believe that Mike Tomlin should coach another organization. Mike Tomlin should be a fresh voice somewhere else because I believe, as great a coach as he is, he's a first-ballot Hall of Famer - I believe his voice has run stale there. I believe he's allowed that team to reach the highest of heights they're gonna reach in less than they can get a top-tier quarterback. He needs to go have his 'Andy Reid-Kansas City run' on another team.'

Tracy McGrady breaks silence on what could've happened if he played alongside Shaquille O'Neal during the Kobe Bryant era

(Image Source - Getty Images) Tracy McGrady is finally saying what many fans have long believed. After LeBron James questioned the obsession with rings, McGrady chimed in with a powerful claim: he could've been a champion if given the right team. The spotlight is now back on how we define NBA greatness — stats, impact, or titles. This isn't just about McGrady; it's about rewriting the rules of basketball legacy. Tracy McGrady believes replacing Kobe Bryant alongside Shaquille O'Neal would have made him an NBA champion LeBron James, a four-time NBA champion with 21 All-Star selections and four MVP awards, made it clear to Steve Nash that the number of rings shouldn't be the measure of a career. He pointed out legends like Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, and Charles Barkley, who were all game-changers but often overlooked in discussions of greatness because they didn't win many titles. LeBron James's message? A championship is a team achievement, not just a badge of personal glory. While chatting on ESPN's First Take, Tracy McGrady really took LeBron James's comments to heart, questioning, "What really defines greatness? Is it all about the championships?" He mentioned that he never got the chance to be part of a superteam. "If you swapped me with Kobe when he had Shaq, you really think I wouldn't have snagged a championship?" Tracy McGrady argued. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust! Expertinspector Click Here Undo During his prime, which lasted seven years and saw him average 26.9 points per game while racking up seven All-Star and All-NBA selections, Tracy McGrady just didn't have the team to make a serious playoff run, often getting knocked out in the first round. LeBron James questions why NFL legends like Dan Marino are celebrated without Super Bowl wins but NBA stars are not On Mind the Game, LeBron James pointed out that other sports don't measure greatness just by titles. He mentioned NFL legends like Dan Marino and Peyton Manning, whose legacies remain strong even with fewer championships. This wider perspective shows his frustration: why do basketball careers depend so heavily on rings when standout performances in other leagues aren't judged the same way? Tracy McGrady's situation is a perfect illustration. Throughout his career, he accumulated 18,381 points (19.6 ppg), secured 5,276 rebounds (5.6 rpg), and provided 4,161 assists (4.4 apg). However, without the necessary talent by his side, he couldn't achieve playoff success. LeBron James's recent disappointing season highlighted this fact: even greats require the right support. A legacy is built on both individual brilliance and the structure of the team.
