If it wasn't for those infections in and around his b whole they wouldn't have forced him out of the league. Players didn't want to play with him because the b whole juices would leak all over the court and stink up the entire arena. It was also well known that his dirty BBC had a sever odor problem as well. Probably from slamming all those homeless dude's b wholes when he wasn't leaking juice all over the court.

" yes but you take that greatness then combine it with his individual accolades that he won and then you throw in the winning he did. The playoff games he won. The Championships he won. When you finally take a look at all those things together and analyze everything......T-mac won 0 championships. MJ won 6 championships and 6 NBA Finals MVP's!!!! It's simple folks.

There is nobody in history of basketball who was as skilled as Michael Jordan. And I'm sure he clearly doesn't believe his own words. Hes just looking to make a statement, or good attention for his statement. If that's not true, he'd be the only NBA player that would ever say those words. John Starks, Grant Hill, Penny Hardway, John Stockton, Scottie Pippin, Charles Barkley, and many more where are better then this guy let alone Jordan.

MJ is arguably the best player ever and most athletic, but was he the most skilled. I honestly think it's argument and he's in the conversation, but I think Wilt, Kareem, and Olajuwon were all more skilled. If we are including offense and defense as a total package. If we are strictly, offense, you got Pistol Pete, Larry Bird, Chris Paul, Steph Curry, LeBron, Kobe, Harden and it's pretty good list of guys. Please don't disrespect T-Mac, like that, the only people on that list you named who was actually better than T-Mac was...Barkley and maybe Pippen. John Starks? Nostalgia glasses. Pippen was about the greatest defender ever and pretty good offensive player, but offensively he was never in the same class as T-Mac. Hardaway and Hill, it's a little bit closer, but neither one averaged as many points as T-Mac and I agree they might take the edge in playmaking and point skills, but it's very close. T-Mac also was the best defender of the group, the most athletic, better 3 point shooter, and presented more matchup problems for opposing defenses. He stayed a little bit more healthy, during his prime as well.

I just want to remind you that he was averaging up around 27 a game at age 21 and as high as 32 PPG a few years later. He was 6'8", 210 lbs and unreal athleticism. The word smooth doesn't even do this guy justice. He jumped from a role player to as good as AI, Vince and Kobe almost overnight at age 21. With that type of sudden growth, the sky was the limit and it was really a rat-race between AI, Kobe and Tracy (Maybe Vince as he played SG sometimes) at that point to top of the post-MJ "Best SG in the League" battle. I know hind-sight is 20/20 and you can call me crazy or a crackhead but put into perspective the timeline there from 2000-01 to 2004-05. He was Lebron before Lebron in a lot of ways with his scoring, size and athletic ability.

T-Mac was a product à the late 90's and early 00's, an inefficient high-volume scorer who lacked leadership, mental toughness and the ability to close games when it mattered most. He's highly overrated, people always mention the 12 points in 8 seconds, but that's the only saving grace of his career, an insignificant play in the great scheme of things. Spectacular to the casual fan's eye, but nothing substantial to the basketball appreciator. He's like Yao Ming, guys who were greatly skilled players, but never reach nor developed their full potential, and undeserving of belonging to the HoF.

If you ask me personally if you put MJ and or Kobe Bryant on a 1on1 with Tracy McGrady shootout I probably say he get more buckets on them... while both of them will have a bit of a struggle shooting over T-Mac but no doubt to me Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were better than T-Mac

I was a big fan of TMac and always blamed his injuries for not being a player that is reckonised in the top tier of NBA legends. He had it all. Problem is it was always about him and not the team. James Harden is another one. Top players, supreme talents but never got their teams where they needed to go

most NBA star players have one career altering injury, after that one they are never the same, T-Mac had his in the age of 26, what's worse is his partner Yao Ming was another made-of-glass star, they just keep getting injured in turns, there was one period both of them were healthy and that season the Rockets got 22 wins straight.

Hating Steve Kerr commentary... it's the truth. Some people use the term comedian's comedian.. same appliea to Tracy, players loved to come and watch him play, there is a Joy that lebron brings to the game, that same joy was with Tracy. Yes playoffs were systematic & coaching schemes driven & Tracy wasn't that. Plus his injuries were nor self made, they happened on court on rought teams and his killer instinct switched on higher opponents like Kobe, he competed. He didn't win, that is all. You also should look at trades he was supposed to be involved in. He was deeply coveted player. Never over priced in market. And Tracy was extra creative, maybe he should have played like within a system like Popovich Edelman You also forget, he was a family man, quiet after games. And if you remember he was one thr greats who spoke out on social issue, if I remember Darfur (Sudan) which is even happening today. He didn't just speak, he contributed money too NOBODY CAN ever tell anyone Tmac was not a desirable HOF. The greats loved him for the generation before harden Durant lebron wade

T-Mac and Vince Carter were a duo I consider as iconic as Malone and Stockton. They won no ring together but they lost their fight with their head high. They made me care about the Raptors, an expansion team I considered as hot garbage before they put it on the map... Tracy had the mind of a tiger, but didn't have a body hardy enough to keep up the pace. Truly sad but what can you do when you're born injury prone...

Tracy was better than Kobe early on the Magic. The best player in the world period for a couple years. Unstoppable scorer, and the best perimeter passer in the game at the time. Back and knee injuries were his only downfall. Definitely top 2 to 5 caliber SGs ever.

Tracy McGrady is not close to the level of a Michael Jordan. There were a lot of players that had skill, that could dominate games from the perimeter, but other than Kevin Durant, there has never been a player that has dominated from the perimeter, with the efficiency that Jordan dominated with. FG% and FT% matter. Assist to turnover ratio, matters. You can't shoot 44-45% from the field and claim Jordan's level. Forget about it.
