It's incredible because the Spurs did almost everything right to seal the game but McGrady just hit every shot he took the universe would not allow him to miss.
the history behind it is always interesting...like the kyrie game winner is one im sure they could do a whole 20 minute video on all the events that led to that shot in currys face meaning so much for the cavs and lebron and the future warriors....
Me too! Marv Albert is the Jim Ross of NBA color commentary. An underrated favorite of mine is him calling Brandon Roy’s buzzer-beating three against the Rockets in 2008.
This game was ironically the 1st rockets game I've ever attended. I was 14 years old at the time and just got accepted to AAMA House *(A organization that helps male teens that are at risk of being or am I particular case are already homeless)* early that day. What a ending to a sad day, am I right?
That is why T-Mac deserve a recognition which any NBA player right now should follow. That was the best and clutchest moment of his career. Hall of fame, no doubt!
as someone who is just getting into the 4 American league sports, these rewinders are a great way to learn about some big moments. keep up the good work
13:13 you could clearly see Bowen moving his left foot so that T-Mac would land awkwardly. That man is one of the reasons we couldn't get more out of T-Mac's career.
T-mac was cursed from birth with scoliosis. You're not wrong though, there were some plays that really didn't help but the back problem was the main issue
Bruce Bowen's also the reason we didn't get more out of Amare Stoudamire's career and Vince Carter's. He's also the reason the Bruce Bowen Rule exists, where a player must now give room for a player to land. He's one of the dirtiest players to ever lace 'em up.
@@kitkat6782 Bruce Bowen did that crap years before Zaza even got in the league, and the rule was instituted by the NBA in 2006, which is about a decade before Zaza's closeout.
@@ChromeTecNina You're seriously arguing that a 20 second isolation and a fadeaway over two defenders is easier than a drive and kickout for an open three?
"The man who looks like he's fresh off the grill at your cousin's barbecue." Dear God SBNation bring this man back for the next season of Deep Rewind. The guy is hilarious. Favorite Rewind episode yet!
Figured we would give y'all a non-coffee option to help wake up today. Will this moment ever not be cool? Will anyone top McGrady's late-game heroics? Will I be able to wear sweatpants all day today?
T-Mac is a very lethal scorer you can tell on that very last clip that he knew what he was going to do and where to go to make the basket!! That's just pure confidence of someone who knew he could shot the lights out!!
the west from 2000-2008 won 8 of 9 mvps...6 of those 7 players that won those 9 mvps are in that photo...no wonder how they beat mj in his final all star game...ai is the only mvp not on that 03 west all star team lol...dirk nash two times shaq kg kobe duncan two times ..9 finals mvps 8 nba champions in that photo sharing 19 rings ..ironic enough peja and marion 8 years later joined dirk to win a title and gp played with shaq in 04 with kobe and in 06 with the heat against dirk winning a ring and nash played with dirk pre mvps and 9 hall of famers on that team...
They should do game 5 1976 instead it was his last finals and what some consider the greatest game ever played. 3OT finals game amazing play both sides.
I will never forget this moment, I had just gotten back in time from AAU basketball practice to turn this game on and witness my favorite player ever (T-mac) do something no other NBA player in history has done so far. Epic and he beat the Spurs (Mavs fan here despise the spurs) which is a HUGE HUGE plus in my book. Thanks for the video! Also, could you guys do a rewinder on the T-mac Dirk game where Dirk had 56 I think and T-mac had a ridiculous 48 point stat line.
hearing steve kerr call a game with tyrone lue being traded as a young pop and van gundy coach guys not in the nba anymore is bittersweet ..well besides tony parker i guess ..is crazy how much changes in a few years...
I remember watching this sitting in my living room...I was on my couch and I ended up in front of the TV right when he hit the game winner....my favorite part of NBA Live 07 was watching the replay of him hitting the shot in the background of the main menu screen
I think the 30 for 30 Winning Time is basically already a feature length Rewinder for this, I doubt they'll do it. If you haven't seen it, it's my favorite 30 for 30 and actually got me into watching basketball.
Rocco T I really like that 30 for 30 because it’s light-hearted and fun. All of the 30 for 30s are incredible but most of them tell a pretty depressing story...but Winning Time is just about how awesome basketball is
I remember this fondly, still to this day I’m a MASSIVE Tmac fan. I had his shoes for high school basketball, I had a magic jersey, I read everything I could on him....
The fans who really followed McGrady back in the day remember how unstoppable he was when he got going. Hitting half court shots while being fouled and what not. But nobody EVER seems to mention he also had the most underrated and underappreciated SHOE game. Love the T-Mac collection man they were as dope as is get.
What a great vid! So thorough on an event which only took about forty seconds of in-game time. I think this is the first video I've seen by this host, and he does a great job with it! Excited to see more from Joe
Basketball games in general today are much higher scoring than they were about 10 years ago,the games today are hitting scores we only used to see in all star games.
I can clearly remember jumping out of my seat at home screaming the heck out of my lungs. Even if this was just a regular season game. And then Dame time happened a few years after.
Its funny how because of this game people who dudnt watch the NBA back then think that T mac had a 3 point game when in reality he had a career average of 33% 3 point shooting.
who the hell is the narrator to say certain guys should "never set foot on an NBA court"? The NBA is the most elite basketball league on earth. You don't get there by accident. Everything is relative, so sure...in comparison to stars those guys are "bums" but to say that they are "garbage" and should never set foot on the floor? LOL The 15th man on every NBA roster will walk into your local gym and put up 50 if they wanted. Every single person on an NBA roster was "elite" on some level.
I'm surprised no one during the era was able to realize the sheer value of the 3PT shot back then just by watching what Tmac did. It took a full decade later and Steph Curry for people to be like "maybe 3 is worth more than 2"
A decent performance by Joe Ali in this Rewinder, all he needs is a tighter script and more dramatic storytelling and he should be a regular on the SB Nation videos
My favorite player in the 2K's... Then injury took him down at the end of the decade. I've seen those 13 pts in 33 secs more than any other replay ever...
