I always find it weird how people say he was selfish. Look at his assists on the magic and that’s with the poor cast he had with him. If he was selfish, his assists would go down by say 2 or 3 and he’d average and extra idk 6 points. Imagine that Tmac averaging 38 in an era where defense was the running point. If you watch his games, the commentators never called him selfish he was always praised for being the opposite that’s why I don’t get why people call him that 😂
i have certain nba games on disc including nba live 2000 for the ps1 + it has unlockable retired players + u can unlock them by going through the processes + or using the cheats + i used the cheats to revise the rosters that i but in all honesty i'm also glad that after assigning them to the warriors + celtics nba live 2000 has four of wilt chamberlain + bill russell in their #1 overall best years
Nah he is underrated. If people can talk about the goat and put Kobe in the conversation then obviously Mac shud be in there. He was better than lebron and Kobe on offense and played better defense.
@@brandonthomas4838 I disagree. U have an arguement for Kobe but Lebron no. Lebron is a great all around player. But when u target one specific area like scoring or man to man defense he's not up their with them. If u say he is then Giannis is a better scorer than Lebron cause Lebron scored most his baskets in the paint same as him but Giannis does it better . His game has changed now with more midrange shots but he still not as good as them. Unfortunately Mac's career was cut short. But if u actually watched him back then he made it look easy. He actually dunked on shot blockers. Proved that No defender can guard him and defended the teams best offensive player. Lebron is great. Kobe is great. Mac belongs in the convo. If he hadn't got injured that year the Rockets took the Lakers to 7 without a doubt I'm sure they wud have advanced and won the chip. Mac never had a team as good as Kobe's teams except for that year maybe. And Lebron had better teams than both of them. Either way as a two way player Tmac was out playing everyone. He was unfortunate in almost every way. Bad health bad teams bad management.
That’s my guy favorite player of all time for me. 13 points and 35 seconds smh and his contact dunks are sick. Plus he came up with bounce the ball off the backboard dunks.
My favorite player till this day. I'll never forget making honor roll in 7th grade and my Mom getting the full Orlando T-Mac set down to the shorts with his logo and socks with shoes which I have this day. Never wore the Jersey out
I’m completely and unapologetically bias when it comes to T MAC. My favorite player of all time. I hate injuries robbed him and us of what he could have ultimately become.
Never won a championship but he still is one of the best and most talented shooting gaurds of all time. TMac is in the conversation with Jordan and Kobe.
Paul George and Scottie mixed together. An elite all-time great, if not for the back injuries. I remember the first round exit stigma being on his back, and you can tell it was getting to him. That game 7 against the Jazz (07'), in the Toyota Center. Will forever be etched into my memory. The brotha put up 27 pts, 15 ast, 5 rbs, and 3 stls. And they still lost to the Jazz. The brotha literally broke down after the game when the reporter asked, "Tracy, is there anything more you think you could've done tonight?" Tracy ever the class act, didn't take the opportunity to throw his teammates under the bus.. brokedown in tears.
Could you imagine: PG: DRose SG: Brandon Roy SF: TMac PF: Aware Stoudamire C: Greg Oden All the biggest what it's together on one team, no injuries. 😆 Wishful thinking of course and more than likely wouldn't work with them all being ball dominant players.
Long time Kobe fan here (not recent post death band wagon fan. RIP Mamba) But watching the NBA during the 00's, I was always worried that Tmac was gonna surpass Kobe. He always seemed on the brink of taking the throne of most dominant guard in the league before he got the injuries.
Yes hands down in prime the most versatile unstoppable 2 guard . And near mj level in those two yrs with the magic . And that’s a lot coming from me who knows the goat is a mj period
I will die on the hill that he was the most "talented" player to ever live. Huge, length, shooting stroke, passing vision, tight handle, well rounded game, and the dog mentality to score on anyone and everyone. An absolute demon.
I was the biggest t mac fan growing up, never doubted that if T Mac was even at 80% he could had won the championship in 09’, he was that talented, always pissed me off that Greg Pop didn’t put T Mac in the finals seconds of the 13’ finals, could had gotten the rebound instead of the easy rebound Bosh got over Ginobli and could have contributed a significant play for that ring but i guess it wasn’t meant to be
Bill Blass at that time Kobe wasn’t even the best player on his own team let alone in the league. During the early 00s it was Shaq, Duncan, AI and Vince Carter competing for the best player in the league
This make me sad... i can imagine that one day.. Drose maybe in this too.. hope he have a good play in this season.. since Detroit seems... i know blake just came off from injuries but.. yeah we'll see
@@nbafullgamehighlights9320 Yes of course! It's like you say a person can't be the nicest person without being a millionaire? It's about his quality, not the quantity of his prices in his room... But your question, that's a typical American point of view, sorry.
@@heewoneum3696 Says who??? This is my personal Top5 and it don't have to be anything else than to be liked by me. Nobody has to agree on that. To me it's more important which memories I have seeing him play and what this means to me than how many rings he got.
He was my favorite player back in the days. I rocked his yersey and all of his shoes. He should have gone to the gym more often, then he could have played way, way longer. For sure one of the all-time-greatest in NBA history
Just watching them, I would say that T-Mac was better than Kobe, strictly eye test. If you switched Kobe and T-Mac and T-Mac was on those Shaq teams then he would’ve won those championships, maybe T-Mac and Shaq don’t break up and they win more than a 3 peat
If people only knew how close he was to playing with Iverson in '99, it just makes me sick every time I think about it. But Billy King got cold feet and backed out of the deal after Stephan A Smith broke the news. AI and McGrady would have been legendary imo.
@@jonnyarnett Both players are phenomenal and one of a kind. you'll never get that kind of basketball again in this 3 point era. I miss position NBA basketball. At least theres NCAA kinda
He blew it when he left Toronto his young ego got the best of him He didn’t wanna share the spotlight even with his cousin/friend Vince If he stayed they could’ve pushed each other for supreme greatness but in the end neither came close what a shame

TMac and Kobe were just so similar. Always hard to pick who was better at that time: every time some one brings Tmac onto the court in NBA2k, it becomes impossible to guard them. He’s just so buttery smooth with everything that he does. He’s like the original Durant.
I’m 24 and to even think I was able to remember Tracy being compared to kobe and how good and clutch Mcgrady was... for them to make a video like this makes me feel old
The spanish NBA caster during 90s-00s used to put AKA to almost every player. T-MAC's spanish AKA was "por qué eres tan bueno Mc Grady", something like "how are you so awesome Mc Grady". I really loved seeing T-MAC and Carter playing, they got the skills, the athleticism, the bests dunks ever, also 3&D... in actual NBA (fast pace, more spaces, less 7' players in the paint...) should be monsters with their prime level.
Hey Johnny you should still do the modern day comparisons even though it could be difficult due to the immense change in the nba throughout the yrs it would still b entertaining
As a Lakers fan we definitely benefited in 09 by T Mac being out . Who knows how it would have played out tho . I remember being at my friends house , he was flipping thru channels . We literally stopped on the part of that historical game when the comeback actually began . T Mac did the impossible in beating the Spurs and I was fortunate to catch it live on t.v
I remember in live 03 I scored 110pts against my cousin who used the SA spurs. I remember hitting 2 dunks and 2 three's, after I just went krazy. I was tired of him beating me THAT day
His back problems got worse with the Rockets, but the first time he had to be carried out from a game on a stretcher, because of back spasms, was with the Magic.
McGrady said he could average 40 in today's game... thoughts?
Probably could just look at harden averaging 36
True, also on 38% shooting. Just wait until Harden actually starts MAKING his shots. lol. Dudes averaging 45 then.
Very easily. TMac in his prime could do ANY THING.
Facts
@Tod Wilkinson TMac's FG % in those years were 48% and 41%. He was carrying the team as Grant Hill played only 29 games in 2003 and sat out 2004.
That's a sick man.
13 points in 35 seconds. Most people don't get 13 points in 35 minutes.
bruh.. you make me spit my water on how true that shit is xD
It was 33 seconds
Wei Xiong and that was against San Antonio in playoff, +3n1 against Tim Duncan, + Spurs didn’t miss a single free throw at allllll
One night he'll give you buckets and another he'll airball everything
you must be a 2000's baby
He could have been the best wing player ever. That's how good he was
Kobe KD Lebron MJ Bird Kawhi>

Yea right lmao
@Tala Okoye stephen jackson confirmed it. Grant hill told it on TV.

In my opinion as a hardcore tmac fan when I was a kid he will always be a goat!!
THE 02-03 season from TMac was legendary, there’s an interview with Kobe and MAC about it somewhere
Thank you for the video!
Please do Pistol "Pete" Maravich next - this legend deserves acknowledgment.
finally someone speaks the thruth about this man no one knows unless you saw it yourself

smooth-EST I ever saw
Tracy McGrady was no joke!!
Hey Johnny you should still do the modern day comparisons even though it could be difficult due to the immense change in the nba throughout the yrs it would still b entertaining
As a Lakers fan we definitely benefited in 09 by T Mac being out . Who knows how it would have played out tho . I remember being at my friends house , he was flipping thru channels . We literally stopped on the part of that historical game when the comeback actually began . T Mac did the impossible in beating the Spurs and I was fortunate to catch it live on t.v
in the 03 playoffs he avg 32 ppg against my Pistons I wanted to cry the guy was a beast.
Im respect this guy since saw his effort to beat SAS
T-mac is the reason why i learnt and love basketball.
When he was in the zone, he owned it...so it's unfortunate that he never won a title. Lots of players faced s similar legacy.
I remember in live 03 I scored 110pts against my cousin who used the SA spurs. I remember hitting 2 dunks and 2 three's, after I just went krazy. I was tired of him beating me THAT day
One of the players I look up growing as a child. I remember how everyone try to be Tmac back then but in reality they are just Big mac. Good times
I remember feeling so cool with my brand new white with blue strips T Mac 2s
Top 3 offensive talent of all time, so smooth and varied with his offense. Shame his career got cut short.
For me the 3 best offensive weapons of all time are Jordan, McGrady and KD
His back problems got worse with the Rockets, but the first time he had to be carried out from a game on a stretcher, because of back spasms, was with the Magic.
