No it's correct, McHale constantly got double teamed/tripple teamed because he had the best post moves of all time, but also because he was not a willing passer. He was called the black hole for a reason (once the ball got into McHale it never came out) but a lot of that has to do with the success he had when scoring even when double/tripple teamed, he scored at a ridiculous high percentage off not a lot of easy baskets even while getting double/tripple teamed constantly so he was never forced to change his game.
And he didn't get the ball all the time, because his teams were stacked with offense, and he also came off the bench for a decent time of his career.
However I feel like with my coach I will get in later rounds, plus me as a GM, we will convince McHale to play a little better team basketball and pass the ball to the open man a little more (especially when we surround him with even more talent than he had in his celtic days).
Then again every PF/C who has to attempt to guard McHale (no one in NBA history could stop McHale) will be subject to the torture chamber (McHale's nickname for his post skills) and that is a scary scary thought for anyone attempting to guard him.
