Magic? After he admitted openly that he played with less effort in that ONE season. Who are those ones to be angry? Hill wasn't, Almstrong wasn't, Miller wasn't, yeah, that junior hockey GM was angry, but he got canned. His attitude was wrong in that season, but that's understandable, after being treated that way by the management.
I guess you never watched NBA, before Yao Ming entered it. You want examples of great players slacking off?Here you go, MJ threatened to quit unless he got supports, and he did QUIT on the team in 95'. Dream threatened to quit, and slacked off a half season, until he got a new GM and bunch of supports. Shaq slacked off through regular seasons, babysitting his big toe, because he has Kobe to cover his ass. Barkley forced the trade to join Rockets by quitting Suns. The list goes on and on. If you want to use one season to judge one player for his whole career, be my guest. but don't expect others to take you seriously.
Glory? If TMac wants that, he could continue to do that in Orlando, why would he forced the trade to Houston? Why would he defer so much to Yao Ming when he first came, even when Yao Ming wasn't ready?
