I remember that game, vividly.
That was Mac's debut as knick and his best game post-knee surgery.
Exactly, as a T-Mac fan I got my hopes up because of this game.
hus hus Nah he had a few good games with the Pistons that were just as good.
I mean he even had some good games at Hawks
Terrence X Yes but those games weren't as good as certain Piston games. Especially when he scored 22 against the Raptors. He looked like vintage Mac that game.
Same here I thought us Knicks fans were gonna have a good season with him but he just couldn't perform like his old self
Sucks that T-Mac didn't get more prime years, that dude was a monster.
He was KD before KD
It's weird seeing T-Mac wearing a Knicks jersey.
And the number 3
And with long hair
And not scoring 40+
Yeah I know right, Tmac was past his prime
@@ChrisJProductionz I wouldn't say past his prime, just those darn injuries!!! 😢
this is a broken tmac too many injury from orlando to rockets and pistons and still scoring a 26pts
it's crazy how he still was drawing double teams coming off a major injury like that one of the best to do it #Tmac HOF
I'll never forget this game we all thought
T-Mac was back for real lol
Keyser Soze I thought too
Me too man 😢😢
They did not pass to T-Mac in OT. Knicks are losers.
Facts
They pull tmac out so they can lose
Durant the rebirth of T-Mac
Naw way better than TMAC
@@salvellsame level on their prime
TMAC had about four prima years people say injuries but the greatest player recover from injuries Kevin Durant coming back at Achilles, put him up above tmac for me in every category
PG -13😎🍻🍺
@@salvellspinal problems affect your game permanently. Not only does it affect your upper body but it messes with your legs too.
Tmac was only like 30/31 here if I'm not mistaken , crazy how much injuries effected him
Yup, but he left his mark. KD grew up idolizing the guy and patterned some of his game after him. Tmac actually outlived his expectations in terms of health/longevity. Doctors thought he would last about 3 years in the league. In terms of his talent, one of his coaches thought Tmac would be out the league by the end of his rookie contract.
The guy wasn't perfect but hes underrated historically IMO. So many injuries throughout his career yet hes among the leaders in ALL-NBA selections. Thats pretty damn good for someone who was on the decline by 23
Terry Howard yea he was an amazing talent , why did doctors think he wouldn't last long ? I think he didn't get his first big injury until his Orlando days or Houston ?
About36GREEKS he was born with scoliosis and that's what caused some of the back problems that plagued his career.
Gotta love when old/past their prime guys like T-Mac get it back a night against a superstar from a different era.
Cant help but notice how these commentators gave tmac back handed compliments. First they said "not a lot of agility and quickness but savy" at 1:27 then said "a perennial all star trying to save his career" at 5:55 like wtfff
Yup, totally uncalled for.
no wonder nobody wants to play there. Even their own pbp guys hate
we know that already mcgrady is one of the best player in the history....
He was a monster !
💯💯💯
im a raptors fan, one of my favorite players to watch during that time (era) i had two of his purple raptors and white magic jerseys
Wish the Knicks got TMac when he was in his prime
2:14 look at that rebounding ability by T-Mac. We missed out on a lot of good years competition in the NBA
I feel like Durant was more clutch his first 2-3 years in the league. He just caught it and shot it, every time. Made so many clutch shots. Last 3-4 years it seems like he overthinks things in crunch time.
he had two gamewinners in the regular season last year, and saved the thunder in game 4 vs the spurs by torching kawhi in the 4th quarter...
he didnt come up big vs the warriors but that doesnt mean he was overthinking things... he just missed shots.
it happens.
Lol the dude gets double teamed (at least) during the clutch
nice to see someone who doesn't have a short term memory.
dannywpt He haven't been the same since the foot injury
How about now lol
This is why T Mac loves KD 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
I will always remember this game! Mac had me 🔥 💪🏿💪🏿
This is Tmac vs Durant, Westbrook, and Harden
I don't even remember T-Mac playing for the Knicks 😂
this was one of the most talented teams ever
I could never forget this game of TMAC return. I thought the Knicks got lucky when he. Came to NY. TMAC on his debut as a Knick vs the Thunders was phenonminal. Knicks would've won if KD didnt hit the 3. After this game TMAC couldn't perform like that and Knicks were trash.
Two of my favorite nba superstar to watch tmc and kd
This was a Kold match up.. 🔥🔥..
Man I’m getting old, I don’t even remember T Mac playing for New York
This nigga Kd really been doing this shit 😂
he like a 5 time scoring champ what you thought this was new
OKC fan but mostly Kd Fan typica Kd winning when you don't want him to losing when you going for him
Tmac was an underrated passer! He really passes well than kb,kd,harden.😁
Tracy was WIDE OPEN for tha Game Winner & Galonari selfish azz takes a contested fade-away 3 from 35 feet 🤬🗑
those Knicks jerseys are the best
watched this live, tmacs knicks debut
will never forget the comment "not a lot of agility or quickness, but savy by tmac"
and tmac after the game "i had no legs" towards the end
sad end to a great player
smh OKC fucked up big time. KD, westbrook, harden, jeff green, ibaka? (They also drafted bledsoe, reggie jackson) to say the least
I thought the clips drafted bledsoe?
Shyla Styles Nah we drafted him in 2010, 18th pick..first round (it doesn't get mentioned as much as the other big drafts)
Didn't they end up trading the Bledsoe pick to the Clippers in 2010?
Niko Cross yeah but still
OKC got the best front office but at the same time they got the worst front office for losing all of them except Russ
Boy when the blue pixel schooled the white pixel i flipped my shit
KD was always clutch
Calvin Odom KD was always clutch, but he stopped being clutch lol xD
***** yeah his late game tough shotmaking seems to have disapperaed
Maybe because he wasnt taking the tough shots like he did earlier
Didnt see a lot of his 1 leg fadeaways or spin around fadeaways at all lately
Until he blew a 3-1 lead
The Stach it started before that
Stefan Papdi
You = a dumb fuck
didn't know t Mac played for the knicks
westbrook used to pass
TMac passing was on another level as well
I'm a die hard Knicks fan...but I promise I don't remember him playing for them ever..
Jemel Moore right...what year was this?
it was for less than a season. the only reason we acquired him was because he was an expiring contract and the following free agency was going to have a lot of all stars on the market. it was purely a salary dump trade.
Gentle Breadcat, Esquire got it
I thought he would average 20+ppg that season, after watching this game.
Thunder could've had a lineup of
PG Westbrook/R.Jackson
SG Harden/Thabo
SF Durant/J.Grant
PF J.Green/Lauvergne
C Ibaka/Kanter
bjsw534 if they kept harden they wouldn't have half the players you mentioned here 😂
they dont pass to t-mac at clutch time ! wtf ?
T-Mac already played KD once when KD was in Seattle and Mac was a Rocket.
Kd been blocking shots shooting game winners. Kd the Great
Don’t even remember Mcgrady playing for New York
Durant came in the league a monster T-Mac was a monster in his prime but still nunthin like Durantula I saw Mac alot of years one of my favorite players he was one of the best in Nba history but still nunthin like Durant Kd is a guard/center/forward/shooting guard can even defend guards on the parameter.
Being posterized has nunthin to do with talent just being at the rite place at the wrong time LeBron has gotten posterized by different players in the league happens to the best of them
Durant is a phenomenal player bro that can't be disputed so was T-Mac both are two of my favorite players.
Nor Norranun lmao I highly doubt that. Tmac prime vs Durant prime , Durant easily wins that battle.
+kevawn sangster one thing Kd has on other players is his length and he's actually 6'11 and then he's ultra quick T-Mac would be in trouble and he wouldn't be able to guard KD.
kevawn sangster What separates KD from every other player is that he's actually a Center/Forward/Guard combo sumthin the game has never seen before.
Where was TMac that last shot???? And watching this I remember…….. David Lee was a wretched defender 🤦♂️😂🤣😂😂😅
Forgot Tmac played for the Knicks 😅
That was pretty washed TMac able to compete with young Durant
People always wonder prime for prime, who would win this matchup. After seeing this, it's clear that the answer is Tmac. I'm not hating on Durant either. But for Tmac to be riddled with injuries here at 30-31 years old and still get 20 plus points tells us just how good his scoring ability was. Durant is a stud too obviously and he does some things better than Tmac does. Would have been amazing to watch these two, prime for prime
And too think what would of happened if we just kept that young core together instead of signing stoudamire and trading all our guys for Melo.
Young kd is 🍳 cooking it up😂🎉
T-mac played for the Knicks????
Damn i forgot TMac played with the Knicks
ima mcgrady fan and i kan honestly say i dont remember him signing or being traded (if he was) to the nix frfr
didn't even know that tmac played for the knicks
this last tmacs last great game
This was uploaded in 2016 but why does it look as if it was from 90s?
This thunder team was dangerous
i remember this game as if it was yesterday...damn i was happy as a motherfucker thatvthe knicks got T Mac that year we had nothing to watch.
damn im trippin, buggin tf out frfr, im a big mcgrady fan and i honestly didnt know or dont ever remember mcgrady bein on the nix or maybe i did but obviously must have forgot smh
T-Mac was a beast in his prime but KD is sumthin totally out of this world with a a Mvp a few scoring titles a trip to the finals,Olympic tournament mvp,Gold medalist I think twice,College player of the year,Rookie of the Year,Rookie All-star game mvp,All-star Game Mvp, T-Mac only has on his resume was a great scorer the nba done had lots of them you wud be crazy to put T-Mac over Kd only a heartbroken lowkey Okc fan would Kd is arguably the best player in the game not named Lebron.
If only Ben Patrick from Kneesovertoes was around for T-Macs knees back then..
The best in the A today
it's a shame what happened to tmac career
TMAC is like looking at his own reflection when playing with KD sucks injuries ruined his prime and skills
should have said house highlights too😂😂
Y’all still don’t get the business, the Knicks shut him down, they were trying to lose games to get the lottery, look at OT, they had him the hot hand taking the ball out, Mac was bay far the most talented player to hit the NBA. He picking apart the D with his IQ
So they keep giving House chance to shoot clutches not McGrady? I don’t fucking understand this
Durant taking center stage in the biggest stage of them all, the mecca of basketball in the clutch being clutch late in the game, hitting dagger shorts, long-drives pull up like they were 18 footers. It was reminiscent of M.J as far as that assassin killer instincts to close out a tight ball game.
Tha End Of Mac.. Came in tha league early...injuries caught mac n htown
Who is here because of the debate?
David Lee was cool and all, but he stunk at defense
it's like every play Durant made are called
Krazy how KD still has the same Offensive moves 6 years later SMH while LBJ has already established his u can tell who puts more work in the GYM
Aris Young Why change what works? LBJ is not even a scorer, that why his changing his shots.
This comment makes no sense because Durant’s offensive game has been complete since he came into the league, all he needed was to beef up a little bit and he did that. Lebron’s offensive game needed surgery after Dallas’ zone defence exposed him in 2011
This TMAC is 60%,in 02-03 he was 95%, and he never reached his peak 100%.
Nice illustration..these young dudes have no idea how good he actually was, there was a time when kobe was chasing the Mac-attack
Has mcgrady been on like every team😂
Lol, I forgot he was even on the Knicks.
Basketball Irvingfan2 6 teams
Barbosa Dunkin 7.. Raptors, Magic, Rockets, Knicks, Pistons, Hawks & Spurs
damn i never remembered him as ahawk
If only the first injury hadn't happened…
Tmac draggin them Knees
The league ain't never seen a player like KD before.
No stats say he's having his best year as a pro check the stats
Derty Waterz a pussy who played with a pg who is capable of trip double average and now playing with best backcourt shooters. looks like he will suck if he play with scrubs
Metalic Groin lmao are you dumb? He had his best season when russ was injured. He carried OKC to 60+ wins then won the MVP that year.
RH DG dumb ass russ helped him that season too that's how they got 1st. then struggled against rockets first round then almost swept by grizz wcsf if it wasn't for lucky clutch. that's how much russ meant
Metalic Groin He's talking about '14 KD dumbass...
He averaged 32-7-6 on 50% without Westbrook, led OKC to 59 win and won MVP. He carries a team better than WB.
In January of that year he averaged 36-7-7 on 54% and 46% from 3...
Wanna say something then??
Last two plays of the knicks didn’t pass the ball to tmac?
If only OKC could have held the Big Three together. Westbrook drove them all away.
Durant: show do esporte!
well the defender was Harden
where is porzingis?
OK I was a dieheart fan of tmac I hate he got traded from the rockets but the problem I see is I think he could of played another 5 Years if he got his self on a diet plan he should of hired him a chef to go back to his regular weight and he would of been OK if you all notice tmac had got a Lil over weight.
well he had back issues. I feel like that would really affect your ability to do core exercises. And even running in general after a while puts strain on your lower back. I felt his back was more a issue than the knee
That’s KD
Only good game he had for knicks
kd got too much pts from rip move ,or thunder wouldnt win
OKC. Big3. KD. RW. and. JH
T-mac fucked up big time.. the moment he decided to leave Toronto his career was over.
Nostalgia Guy No, Rockets killed him. If he stayed on the Magics, him and Dwight Howard would be a good duo and Grant Hill injuries wouldn't affect him as much since he got help. HE WOULD have gotten a ring in 2009 damn, so fucking sad
Old Broken up Mcgrady
young snake
wtf
