These docs are always top tier. Big ups brother.
Appreciate that, hope you enjoy
@@NickSmithNBA Always do.
Always enjoy.
T-Mac was unstoppable I loved his style of play, he's talked about alot in my area👍👍
I tell people all the time I'll pick Tmac over LeBron and they say I'm crazy. . Guess they never saw him play is all I can say
TMac was my Jordan growing up. He was an assassin, people just don't know how much of a killer he was
Facts he’s my Second favorite player Ever because I watched Jordan whole career so obviously he’s my 1st🥇
So much a "killer" that he has rings to back it up...
That sounds so corny and what "killer" no rings
YOU HAD TO HAVE THE T MAC SHOES WITH THE HARDWOOD ON THE BOTTOM OF EM
He made dumb decisions that were driven by money and that will always be his legacy as much as I love tmac.
You know tmac was special when kobe keeps the same comment in various interviews. Especially how competitive kobe was
Facts
true dat sir
TMac was a fucking monster. Whom ever didn’t vote him in 75 greatest players shouldn’t be voting. I wish he got one chip. He was a pleasure to watch.
Next to Kobe was TMac. That was the only debate back in the days. It wasnt Kobe or Jordan, it always is Kobe better or TMac
@@iambarryallenFacts. And only one that could outdo Kobe or Mac those days were Allen Iverson. VC, Ray, Wade, Pierce, Joe Johnson, Michael Finley, Sprewell, Stackhouse, Richard Hamilton, Eddie Jones, Reggie Miller, Allan Houston, Stephen Jackson, Cuttino Mobley, Wizards MJ etc were the next Guards in line after those 3 in scoring ability.
But he never won the first round of the playoffs except when he was at San Antonio from 2012-2013 which he never play HAHAHAHA
Such a shame he didn't make the Top 75 players list. My favourite player when I first started watching basketball full-time.
The fans know wassup, one the most dominant exciting players to watch period
Wait so Russ made it but not T Mac bull shit
The Human Highlight Film, Dominque Wilkins, got so much attention for having been dissed by being left off the 50 Greatest for the years between "THE 50" and then ultimately having the error corrected in "THE 75", that this is the SAME "treatment" T-Mac is receiving and I think it 'fits' perfect because T-Mac deserves all the extra attention for all the effort, talent, respect and creativity he poured into the game... so thereby, well after I pass on, T-Mac is going to have his name uttered with the reverence it deserves, his play deserves, he deserves.
@@pcutta24 Russ and Dame Lillard made it over T-Mac...the disrespect is incredible
@@Getloose360 and Anthony Davis smh
The awe and respect that Kobe showed T-Mac was just absolutely amazing to see!
Arguably the greatest offensive player to ever lace them up. He had every single move in his bag and scored almost effortlessly. He was also the master at creating rhythm for his own shot. It was truly poetry in motion every time he touched the ball and a privilege to watch him play in his prime.
He was
IDK why people laughed when he said he should have won mvp that particular year he was at orlando. I actually agree with what he said and the award is "season" mvp and considering all the talent the others have and what he have. He was the most valuable that year tbh
Penny... Tmac...were and still are my favorite players of all time.. funny, both had a tereible set backs, both wears #1 jersey, both played in Magic... both were great players... and boths are belong to the WHAT IFs...
Right but that’s T-Mac idol Bro… Penny is who Tracy patterned his game after
@@OzoneDaDon yes, you're correct, and what's funny is that KD patterned his game to TMac.. the evolution 😄 Penny that time was one of a kind..
With Penny it was his knees
Len Bias in that realm of what if superstar wings
That’s why he wore #1. Kobe showing him so much respect should tell you how good he was in his prime.
It's always sad to see any professional athlete's career cut short by injuries, but when it's a generational talent like T-Mac...it's a crime against humanity!
TMac, G Hill, Penny all could've been top 10 if they stayed healthy
@@brianbadonde9251 Brandon Roy
@@brianbadonde9251Baron Davis, D.Rose, Steve Francis, Danny Granger, Amare, Yao Ming, Isaiah Thomas(IT that was beast on the Celtics days)
As a kid watching basketball T Mac was everyone’s favorite, first.. due to the constant injuries his fans eventually became Kobe fans and Kobe didn’t let us down.. they were 1a and 1b at a point of time
Unfortunately he had to carry too much load. Imagine having a healthy Grant Hill and Tim Duncan???! Ugh
People need to go watch Legend of Winning's video on T Mac, as much as I appreciate what he did for the game and his talent, I'm so tired of people forgetting that he was terrible in the playoffs outside of a few games, sure injuries were a good bit of them but he had PLENTY of chances to make deep playoff runs where he just massively underperformed, it is what it is. Him and Kobe don't belong in the same sentence
@@Getloose360 Kobe had Kwame Brown and Smush Parker and still didn't get injured like that
@@tropicmix8765kobe was also a bit shorter/smaller than tmac, and that goes a long ways when youre fighting with gravity every night imao
I don't care if they bring up no rings this man was such a great player to watch. Had the t-mac shoes and felt like I can take off. He was a nightmare for anyone to guard. So sad injuries made his career short.
YESSSS, the one nba player I have been waiting for. Thank you so much for picking my favorite player of all time. Also your videos are amazing, Ive been watching you for a year and a half now
Appreciate that bro! Hope you enjoyed the video
My favorite player of all time too
Early to Mid 2000s was DIFFERENT. All of my favorite players we’re in their primes. Kobe, T Mac, Iverson, Pierce, Baron Davis, KG and countless others it was a wild and crazy. Easily the greatest era of basketball of all time.
@@DignanWith28Felonies. the 2000s was crazy everybody was lit ai Kobe Vince Tmac bdiddy mike bibby kg ray Allen and so many more
One of the nicest players I've ever seen play the game. Glad I was able to be a witness...
This guy could have been part of TWO all time big threes.
Shaq, Kobe, and T-Mac.
Duncan, Hill, and T-Mac.
My brain just melted.
Shaq kobe tmac are winning 10 finals
@@chasehazzard945 fr
@@chasehazzard945 Facts 🤔Well…… @tleast 7-8 because I think Kobe still would have wanted to see if he could do it w/o but 7-8 Easy maybe even Str8 through
@@OzoneDaDon he would’ve definitely tried to go after Bill Russel’s 8 straight titles record and possibly stay to secure 11+ or leave to prove he doesn’t need them. Also he probably wouldn’t be the only one thinking of leaving
Wade too
Prime TMac would easily dominate todays NBA
Easily He was Actually The perfect player Build for todays NBA…..Think about it he was A 🤏🏽Slightly more overall skilled/Yet Much more Athletic Kevin Durant Minus 2inchs & Some of KD’s efficiency ….BUUT you could argue that Some of T-Mac being slightly less efficient came from Mac Dealing with way more Defensive attention given that Tracy was nearly 👉🏽ALWAYS👈🏽 the opponents SOLE or MAIN defensive Focus with all the Trash🗑 he had to carry➕ When u factor in the offensive Load & The fact that Tracy was A Better defender whenever asked to be, I’d say trading in a Lil bit of efficiency Compared to KD doesn’t hurt much if any,So add all that up you’ve got one HELLAVA PLAYER!!!
He dominated in his era when he was healthy.
@@TheRealist1. TRUE
Easily is an understatement
Easily and Effortlessly......would of love to see him and KD battle
TMac could ball so hard. Man, I wish he had stayed with Vince in Toronto and seen them boys just slaughter defenses. Damn shame he was hurt all the time. One of the best.
TMAC dropped 62pts and missed 9FTs maaaaaaaaan..potential 71 right there, always will be my FAV
Donovan and Damn got 71 like David Robinson now. Melo 62 on the Knicks he sat down could've went for 80 that night.
I remember going to the O-rena and watching TMac break his back carrying the Magic. He was astounding!
R.I.P. Mamba, but T-Mac was definitely my guy of that era 💯💪🏾 Totally under appreciated. Glad people realizing he is what the NBA is today in that time and deserves more respect ✊🏾
Looking forward to this documentary. You always put out extremely high-quality work.
Cheers!
Thanks 🙏
I love it! I've been waiting for this video of yours about Mcgrady. He's my all time favorite. Thank you so much. I really love your videos, they are all amazing. ☺️
He is as offensively gifted as a wing player has ever been. He’s like Jordan and KD combined, but with the best parts of both. That’s not even an exaggeration.
Very accurate. I use to believe he simply possessed the most natural talent ever
I remember an era when T-Mac n Kobe was like Coke n Pepsi, u had to choose one. 💯
Hearing Artest say his back and knees were gone broke my heart
Man 😢 you could feel it to with the visual of him getting carried off the court
Tracy was the second coming to Penny Hardaway that was his favorite player
People always talk about Toronto but Imagine if Shaq had stuck around in Orlando.....with a HEALTHY Grant Hill and T-Mac? Sheesh.....And yo these mini-docs are sick. Keep doing your thing bro, and thanks.
T Mac and Kobe will forever be my 1a and 1b and I can’t decide which is which
He has the best pull up jumper ever imo. At least top 3
Idk theres a guy named Kevin Durant that will give you 50 with only pull ups but I'm not taking anything away from my guy T Mac 💪
@@techwood16 Mac can do the same thing
@@techwood16 Well he did say he modeled his whole game after mac
@@techwood16 yeah but who did kd say he modeled his game after? 😂
@@techwood16Mac scored 62, KD never hit that high yet. Mac was a Walking Pure Bucket Getter and Got Busy too.
Mac was a Unicorn. Just unfortunate events that made his career underated. But to the one's that know, he's a walking bucket. Kudos to you Nick.
I am glad that they made a videos about Tracy McGrady because he was the complete player on the court and if he didn't get hurt he would have had a longer career. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017.
Dude I love your videos. You really dig for every player and analyze from all angles. Just found you the other day. Cheers
Awesome video bro really enjoyed watching this! That was was definitely a great one!
You actually did it😂😂😂 i thank u 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this. My all time favorite player. People don't even know man....
This is epic. As a Die hard TMAC fan. This video phenomenal
You gotta do a video on Brandon Roy he was so cold
Man!!!! Nick's videos are the truth....just you showing Kobe elbowing T-mac was the greatest thing ever. I'm always hype when you drop bro. 💯
Makes kobe look like a pos to me
I've been waiting for this one.
Tracy is my absolute favorite Magic player of all time, wish we could have kept him a few more years
Him with Dwight Howard get like 3 chips, maybe even 3peat!
This does my heart good to see my favorite player of all time get the proper respect he more than deserves
Thank you for this man
i love the video ,thanks for the video tracy definitive is a legend
This was nice. Love this
13 points in 35 seconds, against the Spurs, to complete an unbelievable comeback. 'Nuff said.
I've been waiting for this one!! 🖤🖤Still my favorite baller of all time first jersey I bought first pair of Adidas tmacs . Answer was a somewhat close second but I followed tmac to every team it's a shame my pistons got him on the decline when he wanted to go to Europe (understandably so)
Thank you! Someone finally putting some respect on this man's name.
I just recently got into basketball and your videos are really helpful in learning more about the history of the game. Does anyone have recommendations for more stuff to check out?
My #4 in my personal top 5. Loved watching him play. Straight heart and will.
Thanks for this he’s my favorite player EVER!! GOAT
#1
Thank you for this🔥! Ray Allen?!?
welcome back bro
When kd was sitting next to him and couldnt look at him for literally more than a split second. U can see the awe just puring out if him
If you got Kobe talking about you, you are elite and one of the greatest
Can you imagine Penny,G.Hill,and T-mac was on the same team
TMac deserves a Top75 spot -- over Dame.
Leaving ORL the way he did, the injuries limiting his prime extension (age 29+), and his 1st round exits definitely hurt his run to the Top 75. Dame is a 1st ballot HOFer...but Tmac's impact on the league for 7 years was special.
P.s. Tmac not staying with Vince, losing Grant Hill in ORL, not teaming up with Duncan, and Yao's injuries...That's a lot of unfortunate breaks.
Fav player ever and it's not even close.
Thanks for everything T-MAC. LOVE U BRO
@32:36 you used my video , that’s shit just made my night man. thanks bro
If Grant was on the floor and healthy, we'd be looking at T-Mac in a whole different light. One of the best to do it.
As a florida boy my whole life growing up 15 mins from TD Waterhouse center and anyway center we celebrate T-Mac more than any other magic player ever not named shaq and that’s facts
T-Mac is in the top 25 BEST EVER nba players. I dont care what anybody says, T-Mac was a beast and if he won't have got hurt so early in his career, and if he would've had 1or2 superstars to play with, he would've been in the talk of the Greatest ever. Point blank. GOD BLESS Y'ALL
Man watched this all the way and T-Mac was a beast and he needs more recognition but also you could see the hurt in his statement at the end about not winning that Chip! Love you bro!!!
This man is underrated both the creator of the vid and T-mac good work
Really nice
Thank you Mcgraddy. Top 10 for sure.
T MAC will always be a legend. Him and Allen Iverson are hall of famers 10000% percent. Generational talents
this series dope
Appreciate it bro
T Mac was unstoppable. We would've beem The GOAT is it wasn't for his injuries. That Orlando and Houston T Mac was different.
I about shite a brick when he came to Houston! One of my favorite players of all time. I’m so glad he was a 🚀
My favorite player of all time thank you sir
I went to high school in the same county as Tmac, was in the same class (1997) as him as well. I was dating a cheerleader from his school so I went to see him play 3-4 times his Junior year. He averaged 27 points 12 rebounds and like 4-5 blocks a game, which was good for player of the year in our area. Tracey was a 6’9 center back then and as good as he was, didn’t think this guy would be a superstar in the NBA. For his senior year he went to Mount Zion academy in NC, found out this out by a article in Sports Illustrated having him as now the number 1 high school player in the country after switched him to point guard and him working his butt off to maximize his potential. Imagine him as a 6’9 pg in high school, super crazy. Amari Stoudemire had a similar story as him, although he went to like 3-4 different high schools including a public school in our county and Mount Zion academy. He was about 5-6 years younger then me tho.
Great job man ! Chris Bosch plz !
Every time I see TMAC I get too conflicting emotion I kinda get that cramp in your chest feeling because in one way I have a huge amount of love and respect for him as a player and the other is a feeling of anger and disappointment of what should’ve been when you think about it you could write a better script too long lost cousin somehow get drafted to the same team and then after being drafted finding out that their cousins and that in their primes they were two of the top 4 to 6 players in the league And then something that pisses me off the most is when is when Vince and Tracy now talk about how they should’ve stayed in Toronto they should’ve done thing different and how looking back I didn’t realize how great they had it being a team of a nation best fans on the planet they really could’ve been the MJ and Pippen of that generation and the crazy thing about it is I don’t think Vince I forgot anywhere near his potential How scary of a thought is that the NBA I believe it Tracy would’ve stayed I think they would’ve pushed each other to be better people forget that when Tracy was here he was probably one of the top 3 to 5 defensive players in the league And he had to play like that because he knew he was number two to Vince which made him play with intensity and energy both hands on the floor that he never did again I believe that after getting knocked off once or twice in the playoffs as contenders would’ve really pushed Vince to try and reaches to a potential and I believe that because of Jordan and Pippen if those two would’ve been drafted in developed on different teams I don’t think either those guys particularly Pippen ever reaches us to a potential the way it was in reality because they always push each other to be better at both ends sorry I was a Raptors fan it’s a thought that can make you lose faith in the sport never did never it never did but it could at least now as a Raptors fan it doesn’t hurt quite as much as it used to it doesn’t hurt or anger me as much as it used to thankfully because of the teams put together over the past 10 years particularly the past four or five years team that plays the right way isn’t about the name on the back burner about the name on the front I don’t know maybe we needed that as a franchise to push us to be the most innovative franchise of the past 10 years and to create a team with the culture of being a team rather than a culture of shining superstars to save us like every other team seems to try to do maybe I need to be grateful for that but there’s too many F’s and that is too many what if’s in that Fortnite Boniva for it not to bug me anyways but luckily as a Raptors fan it looks like we’re finally gonna get that and a guy like Scotty Barnes Pascal Siakam OG hopefully Gary Trent long-term and then that next wave underneath the Delano banton’s But the potential to be an all star 6 man to a beast 6”8 Point guard precious Achiuwa who has a skill Saturday set to be Montrezl Harrell like player with the skill of a small forward and Justin Champagne who’s going to who is going to be one of those momentum changing energetic 3nD Offensive rebounding beast If a like Gary Trent and be even close to his potential As a Shot creating put the ball in his hand when you need a bucket Consistent bucket getting shooting guard The Raptors roster has the potential to be the most versatile Two way lineup of the modern NBA With the culture of team first I’m telling you that’s a very scary team for the rest of the NBA
Glad you got that out
He has that same ability that Kd has where it doesn’t even matter if you have a hand up and you contest
U can only pick up 1. Who you got?
TMac
This shit must take you a minute to make man. I like your vids bruh great job.
Appreciate that!
One of my favorite players of all-time like I wish he never got on that cover of live 07 because that finish him if that never he would have won with Yao Ming or if he stayed with Vince Carter or if he was drafted by the Lakers they won have 8 championship
That's so kewl to watch a great players career being highlighted👍Very awesome content👍👍
I am 6' I love playing defense, and getting in position to rebound every brick😁 I've gotten back into shape, these kids nowadays toss up so much threes that is so much more fun to play because they don't know how to properly box opponents out because that's my ball!😁👍👍
i honestly can’t express how happy i am to see this… my favorite player growing and still is! T MAC
From the biggest Kobe fan..... one word to describe Tmac is DOMINANT. Tmac was unstoppable. Growing up arguing with friends in school on who's the best player in the NBA. There was two players that when I argued for Kobe in the back of my head I wasn't 100 percent sure I was right and that was Tmac and Iverson. They all had that competitive mindset and were beasts. And to all the NBA fans who want to compare generations, put this into perspective, Iverson Kobe McGrady Duncan Shaq starting 5 Jason Kid Vince Carter Dirk Nowitzki Kevin Garnett Yao Ming against the top 10 players of this generation. Not even close bud. Plus many more guys like Rasheed Wallace chris webber Paul pierce Ray Allen Steve Nash Tony Parker Ginobli stephan Maubary could easily be put in the mix with no loss. Much respect to the NBA players of today, there is a great amount of talent in the NBA today, but I feel the early 2000s was the best Era with no doubt
T Mac is my all time favorite player. Really good video
Love it my favorite player growing up never got them blue tmacs doe 😆
Tmac, Kobe, AND. Shaq??? Man... Jerry’s vision is crazy
Right. That kind of firepower should come with a handicap!
TMac was one of my favorite players growing up. He's one of my favorites cuz he was always the under dog and even tho he didn't ein a chip he achieved and was skillful and great on that hardwood. Salute
Let's GOOOOO!!!!
Before his injury he was on track as an all time great.
Imagine in a year or two when the jokic episode comes out. Love these things man. Thx
As a Kobe fan I remember going at it with one of my best friends who was a TMc fan. I believe that I won the argument but boy I got to recognize that TMc was a bad man. Bad luck with injuries and teammates but healthy TMc and at the correct tem situation, boy it was 50/50
13 points in 33 seconds is the greatest comeback of all times by an individual. That was amazing!!
Great clip so far I'm still here 19 mins in ima finish this one up 95% chance I sub at the end
21:35 lmao ! Ik that feeling Tmac!!! When I found out next day in school that my neighbor had called to ask if I wanted to go to the Michael Jackson concert plus backstage in 84’ and my mom didn’t even tell me? One wrong move and you don’t play with Duncan. Orlando would have been live
TMAC would have been top 10 easily if he didn't deal with injuries! It's a shame he wasn't able to play for many years, he retired when he should've been in his prime. Mad respect 🙏 👏
My Number One favorite player ever. T-Mac!!!💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You have random people like Sam Jones that made the top 75 list, and Bob Mcadoo and Russell Westbrick before Tracy Mcgrady?? 🤦♂️
Tracy was my fav ' growing up...
I feel his defense was his best part of his game but also contributed to a lot of his injuries if he had half the luck of Steph or Bron he would be in the top 10
R.I.P Kobe! And Gigi and rest of the victims! Never forget 1/26/2020
You should totally do Carmelo Anthony one of these times! One of the most clutch shooters of all time. Doesn’t he have a record for buzzer wins? Anyway I vote him next!
one of the realest
Can’t forget Vince Carter compilation must see!
Seems like he was the people’s/ players champ rather than just having a ring on your finger. The props and the people’s respect is better than a trophy.
