People were comparing T-Mac and Kobe between 02 & 05 and that's it, it's like when people were comparing LeBron and Melo between 03 and 07. No one was saying that McGrady was better than Kobe or would be considered better than him at the end of his career, this is not true. T-Mac was a bad boy, 6'8 with long arm and mad skills but it's not Hill or Roy we are talking about when it comes to injuries. T-Mac had 10 healthy years including his prime but he just never has that will and was a terrible leader.

People quickly forget this type of LeBron. He's been like this ever since, and he was until he joined LAL. People indeed had strong recency bias and quick to discredit how great players were, esp LeBron. I think we all just need to accept that father time is unbeatable. The narrative that LeBron is still in his 'prime' at Year 17 is bs. We all should acknowledge that he's declining (although very slowly) so that we would not be frustrated to him in his last years. Tho I am an AD fan, everyone unbiased NBA fan will agree that it's AD who lead LBJ's last championship.

Referred to as a guy who was pass first, extremely athletic, a Swiss army knife who they say couldn't shoot and wasn't a scorer. Was drafted to a team who never was supposed to win. He was the chosen one to suffer from greatness as an all time great who will spend most of his campaign and reign in the most cursed sports city of all time. While Jordan was losing in the first round at 22, while Kobe was 22 being sidekick to 3 time finals mvp Shaq to win 3 titles...22 year old LeBron was leading the worst roster in history to the finals without a sidekick against a legendary big 3. People said he didn't have a killer instinct but without a killer instinct he did what players with that killer instinct did as well if not better than they did and was able to feed his brothers first by facilitating. He gets flack for involving his teammates in the game. As the planter gatherer waterer and hunter he was able to bring home an all you can eat buffet 3 times as the leader of his pack and bring home a feast 6 more times between Cleveland and Miami. Playing the so called wrong way while being labeled the best all around player of all time, he proved he's the goat but needs 13 more points to be 4th in all time scoring and is 10th in assists as the only non pg to make that elite list of assisters and the only player to be top 10 in both.

This era of the nba was amazing

[@turboroman5718]

Lebron was 18.Here almost on T-Mac prime level

[@jacobdeluca6582]

Rookie Bron was a top 5 player in the league already

[@Jay-nf1yi]

How do you not get the ball to LeBron on a game winner unreal

[@mrbeankmp3509]

Remember the other cavs players cant accept that 18years old carry that team..they are no.1 haters of lebron..

[@Wodz30]

fantastic editing job. THANKS!

[@tonedavinci]

R.I.P John Saunders.

[@andrewokamoto]

People in the future will look at Tracy McGrady's career stats and won't think much, but at his peak, he was an unstoppable scorer who could do it all. Easily had a Hall of Fame peak.

[@bgilley8199]

That move at 3:40 is jaw dropping.

[@kaiwen4424]

T-mac was so good. I remember waiting to watch his Rocket games every weekend when I was a schoolkid.

[@SLICENSLASH]

The more I watch old vids of TMac competing against other superstars the more it makes me think his career was squandered on bad teams. I think he's partially to blame for that though. He leaves Vince Carter & the Raptors. A really good team on the rise. No reason they couldn't become great. I guess he didnt wanna play second fiddle, but goes to Orlando. Its understandable when you think Grant Hill was gonna be your running mate, but turns out Grant's injury never allowed him to play with him for any extended time. So the Magic never really had a chance. Then he goes to Houston after Orlando. That move was unexplainable. Out of all the options of teams to go to at the time. You would think he wouldve learned how fragile a pro career could be after seeing Grant's problems, and look to join a winner; but he didn't. That's why I dont blame guys like Lebron or Durant for making superteams. Pro careers are fragile, fickle things. If you dont jump at the chance to win and make the hard choices you can go forgotten regardless of how good you were.

[@SupahKamiGuru]

One look at T mac, and you can tell he's simple minded. Good at ball. Bad at decisions.

[SKG] Andoryu lol what? he is very rich, didn't spend his money, and is actually a very smart guy. He is a hall of famer. He tore up a knee before the surgeries were perfected like they are now and never recovered the explosivity.

[@rancyz5]

slappy happy ofc hes rich he was an nba all star player you dumb fuck

[@raylee5461]

FOOL!!! KOBE AND JORDAN WERE LOYAL. NO ONE LIKES A SNAKE!

[@yeaboy707]

T-Mac was special. I loved watching him vs Kobe as well.

[@Bannedconfidential]

Damn just pulled up on Bron at the end no mercy lmao RIP John Saunders

[@ShawnCarterPaulSCP3]

RIP John Saunders

[@kaixiao8265]

this is fucking unreal, the way Tracy played his game. Look at those guards now, not in the same level at all

[@ChrisJProductionz]

TMAC WAS BETTER THAN KOBE AT ONE POINT OF HIS CAREER BUT INJURIES GOT TO HIM

[@lilboosie4330]

Chris J Productionz wouldn’t say better about evenly matched cause when it’s time smile on who kobe put 40 on t Mac had to start chessing

[@mda1000]

KObe was a way better defender and WINNER period.Tmac struggled to get passed the first round even with Yao who was a legit allstar centre.@@lilboosie4330

[@TheDoombugg]

@@mda1000 thats because one or the other was injured. If both wasn't always injured... They would have gave the Lakers or Spurs a run for their money... They coulda had at least one ring

[@TheDoombugg]

@@lilboosie4330 T-mac drop 46 on kobe when the rockets was on that winning streak without Yao... Your point is invalid

[@TheTH3KILL3Rz]

M Da lol don't ever talk about kobe being a winner in the early 00s, give tmac, carter,pierce, or any all star level wing players to pair up with an unstoppable prime shaq, and it easily equals to a dynasty

[@soullessSiIence]

9:28 Lmao I imagine McOverrady telling LeBron something like "Keep ya head up kid, you got potential". Now LeBron is like 20 T-Macs combined or more.

[@stevieparks1994]

Two greats putting on a nice duel! Two of my favorites of all time👍

41 pts 11 assists, McGrady was a beast. Lebron was a beast too in his rookie season to play like that against a veteran heavy team

[@xerxesix1451]

is it me or a Tracey mcgrady vs LeBron matchup was better than a mcgrady and kobe 😁

[@jonburton2852]

jaylon varner just how wade vs lebron better than the rest

Could be, probably is
