T Mac was my 2nd favorite player behind Iverson. He was so good! Those injuries just killed his career and I feel bad for him. Could have been top 20 of all time.
Athleticism, size, speed, leaping ability, sweet handle, smooth jumper, mid range, inside, outside, doesnt fucking matter. Any way possible there is to score the ball, Tmac could do it. I may be biased because he's my favorite player ever, but I believe Tracy McGrady was the best offensive player the league has ever seen. That includes Jordan, Kobe, Lebron or whoever.
+Rafael Silveira thats why i tell people tmac in his prime is better than curry, tmac would shoot with ease over defenders cuz of his height and it was so dam smooth, tmac legend
Every time I watch the 13 points in 35 seconds video clip, I feel my blood is burning. This man is a big reason that why I love basketball so deeply. God's work.
I see a lot of people in this comment section saying that T-Mac was the smoothest player they've ever seen or that he was an amazing dunker. Me? I just love the look in his eyes, they have the look of someone who's been to war.
6'8 dudes should not be able to handle the rock like that. He was a monster. Switch him with Kobe and the Lakers when dominate for a decade. Try 7 or eight rings because McGrady would not have had an issue with Shaq getting the ball. Just never got help he needed to reach the height of a Kobe.
Really because Penny doesn't have a ring. How about this Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel, Nick Anderson, Dennis Scout, and Karl Malone. You know what they all have in common? Guess, they all played with Shaq and don't have a ring. Please learn a little something before talking trash. I know TMac doesn't have ring. The point was because it seem to have flown over your head was TMAC was just as good as Kobe but didn't have the type of teams Kobe had. I'm guessing you're a Kobe fan. Young bucks talk trash don't know what they are talking about.
Such a shame that T Mac was forced to retire at 32 because of injuries. If he didn't keep getting hurt season in and out, who knows how long he would have gone in the NBA. Also, the song is Clocks by Coldplay.
***** man look at your profile pic you fucking nerd. And so what that was when I was in the 7th grade? Aite lil bitch. Look at how much time you have to search people up n sht goes to show how much of a loser you are too. LMAO.
Let's be honest... prime McGrady slightly better than prime Kobe, right?? Only Kobe got to play with Shaq. By the time TMac got to houston and Yao, his body was already betrying him. But Orlando T-Mac and Yao? That's a championship right there. Of course, Kobe's prime lasted 15 years, while T-Mac's only 4 because of injuries. But still, man! what a player!
+Benger2185 I was thinking if carter and tmac stayed together they would have won an nba title... AND no one would fucking say that "oh he had to join up with (insert player here) to win" because they already are in the same team.
Growing up the only names i heard of where T mac AI Vince Carter and Kobe sad to see these list of players playing level die down and it ends with Kobe I feel all could still be playing at a high level today at their age would be nice 2k needs to add old T mac and VC for myteam tho
Who remembers the all star game when he threw an alley oop to himself off the backboard? That was by far the coldest move (in game) I remember seeing as a kid.
I grew up on Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady these 2 battled and never disappointed me Kobe even said on a interview that Tracy McGrady was the hardest player he had to guard because he was and can do everything
I think that Paul George will be the kind of player that could give us beauty of this kind after kobe retires. Players like Jordan M, Kobe B, T- Mac, they will be missed
Do remember the layup that he made with one hand after he was going to dunk it? Only the people that remember would know I am talking about. That made me a fan of T-Mac for life.
Tommy Fletcher Lol, it's very true. Wade hit his prime in the late 2000s, T-Mac in the early 2000s, by the time it hit the late 2000s(Wade's prime) T-Mac was injury riddled and not the same as he was in Orlando.
For all the people saying hand checking wasn’t in the game at this point is not seeing it happen to him literally every play it’s the only way anyone could guard this man unbelievable short career scoring champ in the most difficult time to score games would end around 80 points without missing a beat McGrady came in and showed out with one of the fastest hall of fame careers to ever grace this game and THE BEST clutch shooter to ever touch that rock 13 in 35 nobody will beat that clutch ness and I mean nobody he is the ONE
This is the only guy i remember other people would argue with me about who is better back in the day.i had kobe but people did say T mac. T mac was great no question.
T-Mac put up some great numbers in his postseason appearances, he just never had the players around him to elevate them a little more. Sucks he retired in 2013 with the Spurs, only for them to win in 2014. He would have gotten his ring. T-Mac could have been in the GOAT conversation if he would have been healthy his whole career and played on a good team to reach the finals.
in from Seattle and t-mac reminded me of a young Shawn Kemp. A force that could not be stopped. Just exciting to watch. Heart like Iverson...I wish the back injures and such didn't happen cuz he would have been Jordan or Kobe like if he had the others around him to help him win titles.. Hall of Famer though!
I never got to see him play 😢 but he seems to play like a 6’8 Ray Allen but with more athleticism. I wonder what would’ve happened if he played with a great team like MJ or Kobe and never had injuries. He’d probably play just as well today because he can score from anywhere which is very valuable these days.
That face at 4:22 and then at 5:40, he's just too much of a real nigga and pure baller. I enjoy so much watching T-Mac is pull-up jump shot is so smooth and natural and it goes in too haha..
