Category:T! True Hardwood Stories

T! True Hardwood Stories are a series of articles chronicling some of the NBA's most tragic players, playoff collapses offered exclusively on Armchairgm.com by Trizz. They are derived from the E! True Hollywood Stories, which chronicle tragic hollywood stars. The series debuted on May 7, 2008 with the story of Penny Hardaway and was an instant hit garnering 22 votes and making the front page.

[edit] Origin

The series first started as Trizz was working on the AGM Encyclopedia and while researching learned alot about some of his favorite players and decided to post articles that would reach audiences that do not read the encyclopedia. It was initially supposed to begin with Chris Paul but Trizz decided to go with a more darker theme going with the downfalls rather than successes.

[edit] Reception

The series was widely accepted on the site, a far cry from Trizz typically satires and Boston-based stories. The NBA was never the most popular on the site so it provided so many did not know the backstories of some of these players. While the debut was greatly recieved later stories lacked the same and ultimately the series was put on hiatus

As of May 1, 2009 the series has been renewed, starting with a re-issue of the Tracy McGrady story in light of his Rockets finally making the second round....without him.
