@S Wavey 43% from the field is far from flawless. Tracy mcgrady was a nice player, very raw and well rounded. But don't hype him up to be more than he was. Durability is a huge part of your ability.

I dont know about 35 ppg, maybe it can be done, but youre right about that he can compete with kobe, i think if he didnt suffer his injuries, he can compete for the best player of the 2000s

I felt it was wrong when he wore #1 in Orlando. Another even more freakishly talented player wore that number there in the '90s and the franchise should've retired it in my opinion. I still own multiple Penny Hardaway #1 Magic jerseys.
