Thanks to "bmacpoland1" for the rare clips!

[@KTran93]

T-Mac and VC together in their prime would have been one of the best wing combos in NBA history.

[@thelastmoveontv5691]

vc shit this guy is so crazy

[@jameswalker6864]

@@thelastmoveontv5691 "VC shit" my ass. The guy averaged 27 ppg in New Jersey and Toronto. Together with his cousin they would've been unstoppable.

[@jzmagic]

My favorite player of all time.

[@PrecisionCalc]

One of the craziest parts of his game was how he would just pull up and shoot in your face as if it were an open jumper and still score lol. What a legend

[@colinthomas9662]

Johny_97 that’s that hesi pull up, the defender doesn’t know what to do with that it’s filthy

[@MrPcmcgrady]

Vince Carter, Tracy Mcgrady, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant..... End of an Era~~~

[@sumitsiwatch]

Peter Sun best era ever

[@user-ew5mf6jv9c]

Peter Sun all of them are my favorite nba player!

[@MrBrunoTheBest]

If he remained healthy throughout his career, he had all the potential to be Kobe's biggest rival.

[@largec]

Just out of curiosity, who was Kobe's biggest rival?

[@AnthonyEdwards775]

@@largecTim Duncan without a doubt Spurs vs Lakers conference finals was guaranteed back then

[@largec]

@@AnthonyEdwards775 I think, it could've been Lebron.

[@fromthearcade]

13 in 35 greatest player of all time. love it the most and played the hardest. RIP t-mac ankles and derek rose's knees

[@leelj712]

Kobe and Mcgrady are very talented. Stats doesn't define them and their impact on the game.

[@TheYouTubeSimp]

His Talent, Kobes Drive, A.I's heart, V.C athleticism, DIrk's uniqueness, and Tim Duncan's durability surely will not be forgotten.

[@heightpharoah2609]

I remember in the Early 2000s watching Tmac Vs Kobe in their primes. Those were the great years of sports, along with Allen Iverson. I still watch the NBA but it don't have sht on the mid 90s and early 2000s

[@xdivisionvision]

***** T-Mac and Kobe going head to head were my favorite to watch

[@heightpharoah2609]

Word. I miss those days man. Just wish Tmac got a ring

[@Krazor724]

Him and Kobe were the best to watch back in the day.

[@ethi0nz]

I love T-Mac so much. The only person I ever looked up to as a kid athlete or not. I get so upset when people try to discredit him. What people forget is as great as he was he played even better in the playoffs. Look at his playoff numbers from 2001-2008. LEGENDARY! Too bad injuries and LACK OF QUALITY HELP(Besides Yao who was injury prone as well) kept him from succeeding in the playoffs. He is a Hall of Famer and Legend that was just unlucky. Nobody can say he didn't put in the work and put up the numbers!!!! T-MAC WE LOVE YOU!!!!! BRIGHTEST SPOT OF MY CHILDHOOD

[@marcdc3358]

with you 100%

[@samuelbelachew5939]

+ethi0nz he was too unlucky in my opinion grant hill hurt, then yao ming then himself. Orlando sabotaged him too.

[@wormsdotcom]

Lack of quality help? Ahem I think you're forgetting VC

[@TehQSAclan]

+Zach Mccarthy they were only together for a couple years and in their developmental years, vince carter obviously is an all time great but toronto split them up before they saw their primes

[@ceelo206]

like grant hill and any others, he and cp3 are my favorite of all time. but when tmac was healthy, he was the most unstoppable player I have seen. was too young to understand the game back when mj played

[@eazzii_m5408]

one of the greatest talents to ever step on a basketball court

[@ethd2286]

He's the most talented offensive player to ever play the game. He could do everything Jordan could do plus he had a sweet stroke. Tmac will always be my fav player of all time. FUCK injuries

[@jakeberlin6778]

Plus he had about 3 inches on Jordan. I don't think he could match Jordan in terms of competitive drive and killer instincts though.

[@FGAlele]

I've NEVER seen a Player make it look QUITE as Easy as T-Mac did as an NBA player. Not even Jordan or Lebron.

[@toppa4504]

FGAlele One of things Tmac was well known for, individually, everything he did looked so effortless and smooth, so he had the swagger, thats why I liked his play style.

[@bubblediddy]

One of the best highlight montages I have ever seen. His talent was undeniable, but when you see the type of intensity he played with every game, it gives you chills.

[@chrissantos3026]

I've watched THOUSANDS of T-Mac videos over the years & this by far is THE BEST I've ever seen to date👍. . . Props 👏 💯

[@heikiu96z]

T-mac and Yao Ming was going to be the most unstoppable one two punch, to bad they are both injury-prone.

[@genericallyaccepted]

I'm so glad you made this. I love Tracy, one of the all time great talents. Great video.

[@ytewelde]

One of the best T-Mac videos I've ever seen! He was a beast..sadly, never reached his full potential because of injuries..still a first ballot HOF tho

[@Legend33Larry]

Vince Carter and Tracy Mcgrady. It was special with the Raptors. And McGrady had an underrated mid-range jumper. Raptors = one of the most athletic team ever assembled with those two legends!

[@brandons2500]

something in that gene pool! they were cousins ya know?

[@quarougheur]

one of the most exciting players in the history of the game :)

[@BlackJamba]

i don't only mis T-mac but i miss the days when every team was a contender for the championship, i miss the rivalries! i miss the 1 allstar player per team but those days are gone...

[@OompaLoompa211]

Fucking AMEN brother!

[@02171963MJ]

Well said!

[@livetoroblox]

[@iiUnRationaL]

you miss something that never happened?

[@BlueJarth]

GOOSEBUMPS.

[@lawrencechen7521]

3 years I see this video, just cannot withstand myself.tearing. I mean, after all these bunch of guys retiring. Finally understand why the older generation can be so crazy whenever they saw a Tap from bird, Dr.J or MJ. No more, youth life, ambitious game. Bravo work.

[@demon005gl]

Breathtaking tribute. T-Mac was a big part of my childhood and this video almost had me tearing up, no joke. Amazing talent and never fulfilled potential, thinking about what he might have been just makes me sad. Contrary to popular belief it was not his injuries that prevented him from absolute greatness, it was his character, his drive and I hate to say this but luck was also a big part of his demise. Takes a 3-1 lead vs would-be-champions-next-year Pistons in 2003, the year they changed the first round format from best-of-5 to best-of-7. Drew freaking Gooden was their second best player that year. Wins the first 2 games vs Mavs on the road in 2005 and loses the next 3 games by total of 11 points. And later in 2008 Tim Donaghy reveals that particular series was rigged. Was expected to win in 2007 vs Jazz, and had game 7 at home only to see Yao Ming grabbing 6 rebounds vs Carlos Boozer's 14. That was the year Warriors upset the Mavs and the West was wide open. There are many examples like these. But ultimately he just didn't want it enough. He just never had that factor, that extra something which sets the greats apart from the others. Yes he was unlucky but if you want it enough you can make your own luck. Did you know that he missed 11 of his last 12 shots and 9 free throws in his 62 point game? Mind boggling. So much potential, so much wasted talent.

[@tracymcgrady4248]

Calm down. Those 12 were just heat checks. I chucked em up from midcourt.

[@isiahdaley477]

Me too man

[@eastoakland91]

Man I was with you till you said he didn't have "that extra something" injuries are a Motherfucker and they definitely hit him hard. And that year grant hill went to the magic he was already bitten by the injury bug plus der was a chance tim duncan could go to Orlando.

[@krisssashikun]

one of most prolific player...the only one to rival kobe bryant sadly injuries denied him of a great career

[@23kc]

This video is incredible. Great choice of snippets, music and fantastic montage. The best tribute (of any player) i've seen on youtube. Congrats MaxaMillion711. And thank you.

[@mattsantiago6714]

Watched this numerous times. I grew up playing xbox 2k6 when i was 12 yrs old. He is the first player that i used and after that, i wanted to play basketball. I wanted to see all of his games. I played basketball because of him. My all time favorite player. Man, i am 22 and still motivated to play because of him. Thank you, Tmac. Thank you for the inspiration. Man, i miss you play A LOT!

[@MrOldschool2001]

Max thank you so much for showing how great my favorite player was in this mix , damn I'm going to miss T-mac so much

[@SIC_WITIT]

Man, I remember buying all the T-Mac shoes back in the day! He was my favorite player growing up and I played basketball because of him and used some of his moves while playing. I also miss the Kobe vs T-Mac duels.. so fun to watch those two go at it! I can't stand watching the NBA these days. It's just not what it used to be..

[@igotbballin15]

This brings me joy. One of the best mix I've ever seen about McGrady. Thanks Maxamillion711

[@pennyccwai]

Iverson, Carter, McGrady, Kobe...I missed that era when they fighting with each other...very nice mix MAX...you never disappointed us!!!

[@wquitw0727]

[@rellicbeats]

man kobe would have had SERIOUS competition if tmac stayed healthy

[@and1streetz]

I saw that Kobe interview live and smiled when I heard Kobe say McGrady was the hardest to guard. Him and VC will always be my two favorites, just sad that they both have been hampered with injuries

[@Aquinas_1]

Goosebumps.... I love how every (good) T-Mac-Mix ends with the San Antonio game

[@matt-tp1ww]

T Mac , iverson, and Vince carter all deserved rings.

[@antwan1507]

Vince carter got one with the Mavs tho bruh.

[@myarab29]

antwan1507 how about no. He did not. He came right after they got a ring

[@Abstrack23]

Matt Ambachew T-mac was the closet to getting a ring until Popovich made the dumbest call in nba history to take out a legend in the game (Tim Duncan) in the nba finals vs the miami heat in game 6.

[@seananthony7494]

Tell Kobe & Duncan to share their rings then

[@gregpayne9729]

this is the best TMAC vid I've seen on here. one of the best to play the game!

[@rhcpguitarar]

Tracy McGrady was 10 times better than prime LeBron. I would even say better than prime Kobe. Such a shame he was injury prone. Wonder how many rings he'd have...

[@OompaLoompa211]

I'm with you. To be able to watch Tracy in his prime go against Kobe in his prime, omfg that would have been AMAZING. Just one of the unlucky players :(

[@allthatjeff]

Stop with this revisionist History.

[@LiKeThEsHaDoW]

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth HAHUAHUAHAAHUHAUAHUAHUAHAUHAUAHUAHAUHUA BETTER THAN PRIME KOBE HAUHAUAHUAHUAHUAUHAUAHUAUAHUAHUAUHA WOHOHOHOHOHOHO

[@rhcpguitarar]

LiKeThEsHaDoW Let me revise. Skillfully, he was better. BARLEY in my opinion. He was bigger, faster, stronger. Better jumper. Maybe not a better player because Kobe was a champion. But Tmac was one of a kind. And this is coming from a life long Laker/Kobe fan.

[@TheGameWorkNick]

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth Its smart to say that and im talking as Houston/McGrady/Yao/Harden fan but Kobe was a better scorer averaging 28 points for 10 years (2000-2010) whereas Tmac averaged 30 for only two years and then there was a decrease

[@kountrylr23]

This should have over a million view best sports video on KZbin. We miss you T-Mac

[@mattiamunari2368]

Loved him painfully.

[@charlesowns]

I really appreciate the new mix. I've been a follower of yours for some time now and McGrady is one of my favorite players ever and i'm glad that I was able to see another awesome video of him. I hope he ends up being in the HOF but i'm not going to keep my hopes up. It's too bad injuries messed with him. If only he could of had shaq instead of an injured grant hill in Orlando. I appreciate what Kobe has done, but a prime Shaquille O'neal and a prime Tracy McGrady would of been crazy to watch.

[@lawrencechen7521]

It is hard to believe now even watch T-Mac like watch something legacy. I never experienced the time of MJ and have no idea how great he truly was. But thank god, let me get through the time of T-mac. This guy just integrated everything a heroic character's life. Born talent, miracle creator and trageic ending. So dramatic, so poemtic and so awesome.

[@osmosergelen9698]

WE LOVE TMAC ♥♥♥

[@liamharrison5846]

looks like MJ in these highlights....i wonder where he would of went if he didnt get injured...

[@qj877]

He would have taken Kobe's spot as the greatest since Jordan.

[@cognitivedisability9864]

+Prince Cyrill: Warriors fan since 2015! What are you talking about kobe was trash at first. and so was mcgrady

[@liamharrison5846]

mcgrady stopped getting better because of injury

[@voidjointx]

Tmac took the bait of Magic they promised him to bring Timmy and Grant Hill but Timmy stayed in SA and hill got fucking injured and he should of never went to houston which ruins his career even more if he didnt chose magic he would of been went to chicago bulls they were very interested in him in 97,00,08 even they wanted to trade scottie pippen for tmac in ''97 but jordan declined it

[@voidjointx]

and fyi he always had that back injury even before he got drafted

[@UFOsAreRealArea51]

we're gonna miss you T mac, dawg!!! 1 love!! simply awesome

[@igorljuboja8358]

That smile and wink at the end of the video...

[@mtbrider6119]

If only Tracy and Yao had been healthy together. Once Yao got his confidence and became really good, they both were never healthy at the same time for any lengthy period and never during the playoffs. Houston would have gone to the finals and most likely would have gotten at least one championship if not for the alternating health problems with both of those guys. Man what could have been. During the few short periods they were both healthy together Houston was a true championship caliber team that would have been difficult for anyone.

Tracy McGrady is one of the best players when it comes to offence but he is one of the most unlucky.He goes to Orlando Magic to play with star Grant Hill but Hill gets injured.He then goes to Rockets to have Yao Ming getting injured.And in the start of the 08' season where he is expected to get in his best year (30) he gets injured in the knee and his career is over.

[@jaredallison7247]

Tracy McGrady yeah u are unlucky

[@cognitivedisability9864]

+Tracy McGrady that's not all tho, he played the 2001-2002 playoffs, Destroyed his playoff run with backspasms, 2002-2004 backspasms again. 2004-2005 knee problems start, back issues that year aswell. 2005-2006 whole year ruined by constant back spasms. 2006-2007 Played most of the year with a injuried shoulder/back/knee. Played with injuried knee/back/shoulders in the playoffs had to remove liquid filling in his knee and shoulder also having to put bandage on his knee and shoulder before every game in the playoffs. 2007-2008 Knee ruins his whole season. this was also the year where he had the best team he has ever had.
