In all fairness, T-Mac said it felt good to make the second round in ‘03 because that was the same season Commissioner Stern announced the league was changing the first round format from best-of-five to best-of-seven.

I really appreciate this clip. Back in the early 2000's was the period of iso-heavy bball, right after MJ's dynasty was blown up. It was fun to see electrifying guards like TMac, Kobe, Iverson and Gilbert Arenas go at it, but just how far did any of these guys get with iso-ball hype? Answer is- none got that far, arguably it's even the iso-ball style that brought U.S. international bball to its lowest trough. The hype around superstars like TMac made them feel it was all on them individually, which is the wrong mindset. Even MJ in all his on-court omnipotence needed to buy into the triangle offense philosophy of the Zen master to fetch him all those rings. The triangle offense was designed to get the ball out of Jordan's hands. That's exactly my fear for ball dominant guards up till this very era: no championship rings are feasible for them, even if their efficiency and stats go up the roof.

[@august6281]

Agree with this. Reason why im not a fan of Kyrie's Uncle Drew playing style ( 1 v 1, lots of dribble, lots of dancing around the court, hard shot ALL for just 2 pts ) despite him being a wizard with the ball.

[@jlui21]

-- Kobe languished much like Tmac without any major stars. But Kobe played with Shaq (most dominant) and then had Phil Jackson for most of his career who won 11 rings. Then toss in Pau Gasol for good measure. Tmac? His best player was Yao who suffered debilitating injuries. Tmac's prime ended at age 27 -- that's when most players enter their true prime. Dirk, KG, Hakeem, didn't win their 1st ring until their 30s.

[@Ripplin]

I'll never forget a friend and I being at a Raptors game very early, and Tracy was on the court by himself taking threes from at least 3 feet behind the line and hitting them consistently. Such a fun memory of a very young star. :)

[@gregorysilas6329]

Tmac had a lot of opportunities to elevate his team to the next round. The type of moments that separate stars from the greats. Unfortunately he came up short in those moments. That being said, he was never in an elite team. There were some very good ones, but none that were highly believable as championship contenders. It’s not like he was losing to 7th and 8th seeds. It’s a mixed bag.

[@CrazyxEnigma]

True none of the teams he faced were that low seeded, Hornets team he lost to in 02 was a bad loss though. They were missing Mashburn and Baron Davis carried them when T-Mac should've been able to get over the hump.

[@jiovanysoltero923]

I’m still so Mad that once T-Mac finally… Finally made it to the Finals (even though it was for the spurs run and him sitting on the bench) the fans rejoiced since he always had the first round curse on him, everyone was going to give him his flowers, then Ray Allen happened and saved the Heat and Lebrons ass in the process.

[@romanramirez7847]

I don’t like this mentality that winning a ring on the Spurs would have increased T-Mac’s All-Time ranking. Winning a ring as a benchwarmer would have done nothing for him. He was carried to the Finals. It’s like Mitch Richmond winning with the 2002 Lakers. It was a nice congratulatory prize, but it did nothing to bump him up on the greats list. He would not have gotten close if it weren’t for Shaq and Kobe. The same thing would have happened with T-Mac.

[@rtosborne3]

Great player when healthy, Too many people judge individuals based on team success. In a team sport, the best team wins, not necessarily the best player. Further, judging an individual for his team's failure in a play-off series, when his team is the lower seed is ridiculous. All we can ask of star player is that they perform at or near their best in the biggest moments and biggest games whatever the outcome. For the most part, T-Mac was superb in those situations, especially when you consider that play-off coaches can focus on taking away what a team/player does best, and he had very little help most years.

[@alex4833]

Good video, Jonny. T-Mac was very talented and I would say that injuries and not having enough help were the biggest factors, but there were times in which he choked, like against Detroit. His story definitely has a lot of 'what ifs'. Have a great day, Jonny 😊

[@ktapreswreckd921v9]

Well explained.

[@catrellbailey5887]

One thing folks forgot to mention in T-Mac's legacy is he usually came into the post season as an underdog. Rarely had home court in the playoffs due to lack of help in the regular season. This is why he was never in position to play lesser opponents in the first round. That makes a big difference.

[@jeptime657]

i can't help but think of the comparison with Tmac and James Harden, which is kinda sad because it would seem like Tmac is the more involved, more competitive player, but with almost same results.

[@tigerlily5313]

Remember.. Jerry West was going to follow up the Kobe draft with later getting Tracy McGrady and adding him to the Shaq and Kobe Lakers. But their coach Del Harris refused because he didn't want to lose Eddie Jones. Had Del not gotten involved the Shaq and Kobe Lakers would have been the Shaq and Kobe and McGrady Lakers. And Tracy has gone on record saying he was always more comfortable in a Pippen role than a Jordan one. He was just forced to be in that one because of the teams he had to lead. So imagine how McGrady career changes if he's with Shaq and Kobe and how many rings that trio wins together.

[@Zamppa86]

TMac was a what if who just happened to play with two big what ifs, Grant Hill and Yao Ming. What ifs rarely reach their potential, or atleast rarely win, because of multitude of circumstances, usually injuries.

I love T-Mac, I watched the 16 second comeback live on TV. But lately he’s been in a lot of conversations he has no business being in. He was a tremendous player but that’s it, he didn’t do much of anything in the league. Whenever he got hurt in Houston it was a huge letdown and disappointment. All that talent and he couldn’t overcome his circumstances. Couldn’t even take a team to the Finals with how talented he was. Melo in the same boat too except his fate was of his own design

[@romanramirez7847]

It’s mainly the “Hooper” crowd who put T-Mac into these types of All-Time great conversations. T-Mac was a great player in his prime, but he did not have the playoff success and consistency needed to be a Top 30 player All-Time. People overly utilize “What-If’s” in talking about his legacy in order to try to prop him up to that tier.

Idk but I've been running a fantasy draft association with my homie and lost the first year to him in the finals (2011). Made three adjustments the following year to replace my retired back up pg, draft bojan for eventual shooting and defense, and got Tracy McGrady, the idea being he was there to mentor Paul George and Michael Beasley. He took over and won the whole damn thing for me, averaging 23 a game for me off the bench.

T-Mac was as good as it gets, the guy was just unlucky and always stuck in average teams. On another note, McGrady vehemently denied he ever made that statement about the Pistons in 2003 and dared anyone to find a footage or an article at the time that he made that statement.

[@uriel7940]

Great video. I love McGrady but he’s been severely overrated by much of the fans. He was EXTREMELY talented but choked in the playoffs + his inefficient scoring was due to poor decision making… I do think that he could have benefited from being much more humble in his younger years… as well as being a 2nd option to someone like Shaq (only one could dream). I think his defense would have shined and his efficiency would have gone up IF he was more off-ball.

[@ThePrufessa]

I guarantee you if you put his stat line (averages) from his prime years up against Kobe during that same time span you would not be able to tell which is which. Tmac was very capable of leading a team. He suffered from bad circumstances more than anything. He takes some of the blame for those series losses but not all of it.

[@ktapreswreckd921v9]

Please forgive me but what does Mcgrady being more humble have to do with effecting his career? Early on in Toronto, (too which he should have stayed).Anyway, Mcgrady was just getting his feet wet in the NBA. When he was traded to the Orlando Magic. He Was thrusted into the limelight. Being humble isn't going to have any effect. He has to go out and perform.

[@adrianp.1195]

I still remember Tmac being young and arrogant while he was in Toronto. When he decided to leave Toronto via Free Agency, he was interviewed by a media member and was asked as to why he left the Raptors, his answer was he wanted to have his own team. I knew at that time that decision and statement was going to haunt him the rest of his NBA career, and sure enough it did. Had he placed his ego aside and just studied NBA history for a minute he would have learned that NBA Champions are built in Stars by committee (the exception is Hakeem Olajuwon). Had he stayed in Toronto, he and his cousin, Vince Carter would have at minimum 2-3 Championships. Unfortunately, his selfish ego got in the way and history was written differently.

[@CrazyxEnigma]

Tmac was absurdly talented he just didn't have the mentality to be a #1 on a contender. If Grant Hill wasn't injured that Magic team goes places even if Tmac never put up the godly numbers carrying garbage. By the time he got to the Rockets he wasn't able to be healthy and neither was Yao Ming.

T-Mac was just a player who was good at scoring, and he was on weak teams that let him shoot as much as he wanted thus he was able to get those scoring titles, and that was all about it. He was not an efficient scorer and didn't elevate he's team by making he's teammates involved/better, unlike players like Luka or Jokic. Similar players to name are Harden and Westbrook, who can score monstrous numbers on nightly bases, and even they managed to lead the team deeper into the play-off. T-Mac was fortunate to be teammate with Yao which generated him a huge fan base in China. Sadly, in the end he's just an overrated player who constantly under-performed and never live up to the hype.

[@romanramirez7847]

This is the thing people purposefully make themselves forget about T-Mac. Even when he was healthy, he was never a great playoff performer. He was inefficient (Never once shot above 45% in the regular season or playoffs) and was never a guy who elevated his teammates in a big way especially in Orlando.

I'm not sure if this is true, but I've heard that he was kind of lazy. He was so naturally talented that he didn't put in the work like Kobe, Jimmy Butler, or Kawhi Leonard did/do. That led to him often being gassed at the end of playoff games where he played 40+ minutes. Moreover, he relied too much on that talent and being "on" rather than having those thousands of hours of practice to fall back on so he could contribute in other ways if his shot wasn't falling.
