In this video I discuss one of the NBA's most tragic players, Tracy McGrady. At his prime, TMAC was as good as Kobe Bryant but then, he quickly fell off. By the age of 32, he had retired while Kobe was still putting out 1st team all nba seasons. So today, I take a look at Tracy McGrady and tell you what happened to the man who should have been an NBA legend.

T-mac was Kobe Bryant without the success.... I'm old enough to know and witness his whole career.

@EatinMonstersSince87 6 лет назад

JaVaughn McGregor agreed. Hands down my top 5. It was Kobe VS Tracy as #1 in the league. Until it wasn't, anyone who argues the fact clearly doesn't remember those days.

@cerebralmindgame9818 6 лет назад

EatinMonstersSince87 couldn't have stated it better 👌🏾

@EatinMonstersSince87 6 лет назад

JaVaughn McGregor his jumper was so unique, I always Loved & looked forward to watching him play. In my opinion there still hasn't been another player with style like his. That jumpshot was savage, form all his own..

@cerebralmindgame9818 6 лет назад

EatinMonstersSince87 Both T-Mac and Kobe could kill you with such style and grace. Their styles had so much swag and jazz but venomous at the same time. It wasn't like Russ is now where he has to play mean to have that killer instinct and mentality. They were so smooth and poetic in motion.

@austinlittke5580 6 лет назад

What do you guys think of Vince Carter? It was being argued in another video that Vince Carter in his prime was better than McGrady. I don't really care to argue who was better, but do you think its a rational argument? Of course, if you argue Vince was as good as/better than T-mac, you'd also have to argue he was as good as/better than Kobe since Mcgrady i think i can say confidently was universally argued as being better than kobe or as good as him for many years.

@ChiRoseOne 6 лет назад

Tracy McGrady and Derrick Rose have to have two of the most tragic NBA stories of all time. Although Tracy achieved so much in the NBA he could’ve done more and although Rose was the youngest MVP in league history and multi-time All-Star he could’ve been an all time great but injuries caused both of them to fall short of greatness.

T-Mac was truly special in his prime. All my friends wanted to be like Kobe back in the day, but I remember pretending to ball like T-Mac on the court. I'm fortunate to have seen him live once late in his career. It was a game in Washington when he played for the Knicks. T-Mac dropped 23 points that game in limited minutes. Though the high-flying athleticism was long-gone, I was in awe of his masterful finishing around the rim and through contact. Some of that former brilliance was still there. Thanks for the memories, T-Mac.

We still remember McGrady, which is the ultimate test of skill. I have had back problems for years, and I know how frustrating it is never to get better. As far as him not being a team leader, that's ok. We don't hold it against Pippen that Jordan ran the team. You sometimes need a great player that is willing to not be the leader.

@davidschlessinger9945 6 лет назад

I was one of the biggest T-Mac fans. He had otherwordly talent. He could shoot, pass, drive, rebound, and play defense. His career was disappointing, but the fact he never played with superstars in his prime, other than Yao Ming, was telling. His best chance was in Houston, but that teams was Yao and Tracy with a lot of role players. And yes, his injuries decimated him. The final factor, he was unable to will his team to win like some of the greats. But if you look at great NBA championship teams, they usually have 3 Superstars and very good role players.

No players have had bigger playoff games than MJ and LBJ. When did Kobe dominate a playoff series or finals? Over the long run you take Kobe because he had a better career and was way more accomplished, but prime to prime I'm taking TMac bro.

@nightrider85 5 лет назад

This guy was destined to be one of the most recognized and outstanding talents to ever play basketball and it never happened. Natural talent like this was only seen in players like Michael and Kobe. The speed, the athleticism and skills where all there. The man was amazing to watch but I guess some things where missing from his career decision making which led to the downfalls. Im still surprised that someone as gifted as this found it extremely hard to produce a championship, I mean not even one.

Tmac's shot posture and foot landing was one of the reasons why he had repeated back spasms. But still Tmac is my favorite Player.

@lukevaldez1397 5 лет назад

My favorite player of all time! I seen him when I was 8 or 9 years old playing against my Denver Nuggets, we won, but T-Mac scored somewhere around 37+ points, it was such a loud 37+ points I was surprised he didn't have 50+ points afterwards!!! He could do everything, his defense was underrated as well.

I was a huge t-mac fan when I was a kid and still am. I remember the rockets spurs game where he scored 13 points in 33 seconds. I remember playing NBA live 2002 on my PlayStation and using t-mac all the time and making him score 100+ points. that's how much I loved t-mac back then

You didn't mention the fact that he signed with the Spurs during the 2013 Playoffs to try to win a championship, only to have it stolen away by f#%king Ray Allen. Also, don't dog my man Chuck Hayes. Dude didn't have the talent of an all-star but always gave everything he had and had a great basketball IQ. That's why he was the leader. It's sad, he's not even included in the 2008 Rockets team on NBA 2k18.

@KingNez89 5 лет назад

@GrahamCStrouse 7 лет назад

Let's be honest--McGrady's career was pretty tragic & I expect he spends a lot of time in physical therapy and whatnot but he's still doing well for himself. He didn't fall into the kind of financial, drug, and money traps that a lot of his contemporaries did & he's carving out a pretty good career as a hoops commentator. And I got to give him major props for what he's done. He lost one of the vital parts of his life, picked himself up, dusted himself off, moved on and found something else he was good at. For the record, though, T-Mac really was insanely good before he got hurt. Much respect to him.

TMac is one of my all time favorites. Got to wonder if his body breaking down has to do with coming straight from high school. He was probably putting a ton of wear and tear on his body before it was done developing

@KrazieSevin 7 лет назад

Excellent analogy since Kobe and Lebron both came str8 from High School, VC as well (39 y/o and still playing). His body breaking down has nothing to do with him coming straight out of highschool.

@Lukemasonmedia 7 лет назад

Ovais A hey guess what, not everybody's body is the same and reacts the same to shit. Development can be slower or faster in different people. They're body's may have been ready for the workload and T Macs wasn't. Fuck off

@jobdoneright5934 7 лет назад

Luke than you just answered your own question dip shit.

@KrazieSevin 7 лет назад

I watched a couple of your videos and i liked them, but have to disagree w/ you on this one.It`s kinda disrespectful to call him "tragic", and "forgotten", b/c he`s neither.All the true fans remember him as one of the best sg`s in his era.He has utmost respect from all of the bball greats and is now nominated for the hall of fame.Even the youngsters know about how great he was trough watching highlights and playing 2k.Yeah it`s sad he didn`t get a ring and his career got shortend by injuries but he still left a mark and i`m pretty sure will be remembered for many years to come.

@TizOnly1 7 лет назад

D3migod yeah, he's hardly "tragic". He had a good little run. Penny and Grant Hill were more "tragic" to me. B Roy also.

@mattlayne8164 7 лет назад

@toppa4504 6 лет назад

Matt Layne Hmm.. Id say it was tragic if you look at what he wouldve become but because he was so good and put up unbelievable numbers while having those injuries it seems as if it wasnt tragic. Thats just a testament to how great Tmac was. Just the fact that he was able to put those crazy numbers and highlights together while having to deal with these things.

I will never forget when he launched the ball to the ceiling of the arena during a Magic's game because his team sucked so damn bad, or did he punt it...hahaha. I remember the 13 in 35 secs. I was about to be mad they lost again, Rocket fans where leaving the stadium, I had school the next day, I almost turned my tv off and it happened. I had goosebumps like this dude going off!!!

@epicon6 6 лет назад

McGrady’s career wasn’t a failure. Don’t measure everything on championships. Malone is one of the greatest and he never won a championship. Also injuries can happen to any player and that doesn’t take anything away on how great they are. Also what if McGrady would have retired at his prime, how great would you remember him as? Don’t think that only players that have no injuries and stay consistent over 15 years are great. Think of the greatness T-Mac brought to the game that all other legends he played against remember and respect.
