Tracy McGrady the Forgotten Star

[jeanxhavoc]

Injury or not, Tmac will always be my favorite star! I consider him the second best NBA player ever, second to MJ. But! A real shame that no one talks about him now.. Hope the prime Tmac will be back!!

[aznkid1452]

Man, T-mac was the shit, his my favorite player of all time, his the reason why i started to play basketball, the reason why i watch the NBA. He was a vicious player.

[buklao559]

tmac n yao was the shizz damn

[firebirdx01]

that injury unfortunately devastated his career. totally sucks.

[urstrulynigga]

T-Mac will always be my favorite Basketball player. i cant ever forget those days of TMAC REIGN!

[buffussss]

i love this video i actually logged on to my youtube account just to comment awsome video i still love t-mac wish one day hell get the recognition he deserves i wish he would of never gotten hurt i love how he keeps coming back and now with the hawks hope he shines one way or another t-mac fan all day everydayy

[nyaribo]

Tmac my favorite of all time! U was the best but man fk injuries

[shanttytown]

Wow the first 40 seconds was really tough to watch.

Its sad he was so underrated while other less talented guys got so much more attention. I seriously cant think of a more underrated player in the history of the league.

Whats really sad is the new generation of NBA fans dont even know who mcgrady is. At his best I cant think of any player that was better than him.

[buffussss]

@shanttytown i agree with you bro i love t-mac first 40seconds ima a guy and almost got a teary eye he was better than kobe in his prime its not fair fking injurys

[hotsauce3888]

What the heck happened to him? He's healthy isn't he?

[shanttytown]

@hotsauce3888 Hes on the hawks. 

[DaHersheyBar]

man... mcgrady was the man it's just too bad. Back in the day it was kobe vs mcgrady and i can say that proudly

[em8701112230]

t- mac is my hero, no matter what's his condition right now

[christianwest1]

Rockets forever

[christianwest1]

Yup das y he retired to hella injurys made him not do shit

[afgpride2]

Tracy mcgrady i always have been your fan and always will be. You Would have been better than all these other players like Kobe, lebron, Derick rose, etc. I believe you can do well with the hawks :D

[DJHENDO13]

Interview was about t mac losing to the jazz in the playoffs

[adrianthevoice]

my favorite ball player ever

[ShuTheFuckup916]

T Mac I say would definitely b a top 5 player in each of the last 7 to 8 season if it wasn't for his injuries...he woulda been as good as anybody...For those who said Rose is better than Allen Iverson, ya smoking crack. A.I is the hardest PG ever to play in my 26 years of living .

[christianwest1]

Yao's garbage but wt was the interview about in the beggining, he seemed sad

[skully720]

@christianwest1 Yao's garbage?? lol in his prime, he seemed to have made almost every single shot

[ihavenousernamelol2]

@christianwest1

you mean averaging 20pts+10reb is garbage?

[THEJustinSimmons]

T-Mac will always be my favorite basketball player

[buklao559]

@THEJustinSimmons YESS YES YESSS

[YeaAha]

I will always remeber only 2 Rockets players Yao Ming and T-Mac

[elpietri]

Almost cried at the start, but then got happy cause i saw what he was capable of.... Would have been better than kobe or at least like him if it wasn't for injuries and a few other things

[ihatewonders]

had always been a lakers fan, love kobe, but tmac was so much more exciting to watch during his prime than kobe

[clutch33st]

he wouldve been better than kobe

[seanman70]

This dude just said rose is better than iverson in his prime?!?!? Hahahaha.... Please kill yourself

[akusiki0]

3:56 Chris Bosh the ''TURKEY''

[kaznatv]

One of the best players ever to me

[ErnestoChe93]

Lets vote Tmac in this years NBA All-star game!!!!! Spread the word. I really enjoy watching him play.

[Dcdatruth85]

I'm sorry there is not another player in the league right now that's more exciting to watch as this Tmac or Kobe. Please don't tell me no clutch Lebron.

[HP24Laker]

tmac was the reason i started playing ball..that pullup jumpshot was so smooth..he used to be the best player in the league

24 year old tmac > competition..

[shortdan5]

Injuries ruined t-Mac!!

[AZTECENFORCER]

yea im raised in born in h town and im a rocket fanatic til the day i die and even tho t mac didnt get us a championship im still a t mac fan and i reallly appriciate everthing he did for the rockets!! and even now that he aint as good as he used to be i still like watching him play. all those ignorant people that booed him new yaers eve when the hawks came to houston are selfish bitter people!!! or just haters but if i was t mac i wouldnt pay attention to people like that

[patemal19]

@AZTECENFORCER cool

[THEJustinSimmons]

@AZTECENFORCER I think T-Mac has some of the worst haters in the business. Obviously behind LeBron and Kobe. But what the hell was he supposed to do? When Yao was injured he had to do it all HIMSELF. When he was injured Yao couldn't do it all alone. T and Yao barely ever got to play with each other Cause it was either one or the other with injuries. We could've been a dynasty! We literally just had no one but those 2 who could contribute... I miss this man...and I miss Yao...smh

[Gubbible]

when you put 110% in it. every game, your bound to come across injuries. ma man put his body on the line every game. He deserves 10 rings! one of the Greats!!

[poptartstaco]

Injuries that change yo life and da way u operate.. I feel my mans pain....he still got it..but his body just can't take it

[matteoruggito99]

TMAC <3 he is the best

[BATMAN24KEVIN]

Lets Go TMAC one good year is all it takes to revive your name.

[kjohnson112able]

what happen to mcgrady he use to be as good as kobe bryant, a must see player. Probably should take some advise from Kobe. I meam i don't watch NBA as I use to, but just saw a game with t-mac and it was horrible, I don't see the confidence anymore...

[dopz1987]

@kjohnson112able he had an injury that which degrades his ability to play or rather kills his confidence on court

[LunarChez]

@kjohnson112able He got injured..

[peej0625]

i love u tracy man if he didnt get injured he would have been mj status or at least like kobe 02-03, 03-04 never forget..

[Phown1337]

it sucks so fucking much that he had to be injured.

ugh.

definitely one of my favorite players tho!

[tmac1shady99]

@Phown1337 tracy beat miami check it out

[baroc00]

T-mac was one of my inspiration to play basketball

[11BMB11]

TRACY MCGRADY and the Hawks beat Miami yeaaaaah TMAC is the greatest forever

[TheGinex22]

tracy I never forget you

[Christusolus]

Tracy is one of the most graceful players I've ever seen. Great video, man!

[MegaJose116]

One of the best Vids on YouTube

[Horcruxify]

Whats the song called?

[TKSparks42]

Now my 2 favorite athletes are gone - T-Mac and Ken Griffey, Jr.

[sothearalim1]

man, one of the biggest what if's in sports

[bleebleblabble72]

could you imagine if he never got hurt n stayed in orlando?.... omg what him n howard couldve done

[bleebleblabble72]

n he will never be forgotten

[bleebleblabble72]

been my fav player since his debut n always will be. if only he didnt need surgery... damn

[moon18yue]

whatever, T-mac was my idom and the most important person who infect me when I was in school~every day just watch him and feel enengy!

[aba2185]

I'm a Jazz fan but McGrady is my favorite player outside a Jazz uniform.

He would always play the game with passion and emotion and did not act like Kobe.

Thats why i like Tracy he looks like a super hero running up and down the court and he does not act like a baby.

[Flatron565]

@aba2185 tracy dont act? like kobe? i like T-mac but dont be a kid with purple glasses

[aba2185]

@Flatron565 Yeah after he makes a big shot he does not make a face just for the cameras. Kobe will make a face for the cameras and look into the crowd like he is supposed to do that. Kobe is a cry baby to the refs. McGrady plays with passion and emotion.

[ABShepXD]

Tracy McGrady used to be god to me. And when he wasn't a star there was a hole in my life.

[64matthew]

YES TRACY IS GOING TO ATLANTA LOL I JUST FOUND OUT

[Reeso74]

one of the best to ever touch a basketball period!!

[juwise50]

so... guess who plays for the Hawks?

[64matthew]

@juwise50 tracy going to hawks??

[albertov0727]

damm i remember this guy was the "rival" of kobe and was one of those great awesome players. now its Lebron.

[jon91839183]

@willMorebucks in the regular season he had 8 straight seasons where he averaged over 20 ppg, his career average is 20 ppg, in the same 8 seasons he averaged aout 6.5 rebounds a game an about 6 assists. His career average playoff stats are 28.5 ppg, 6.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.1 blocks in an average of his 7 playoff appearances. Those seem like good numbers to me.

[nedobri]

respect

[finalsent]

his game was beautiful to watch! heard he just sign with the hawks =-) hope he does well this year

[MrKoopa9]

he goin to atlanta

[TallePeja]

Welcome to ATL T-Mac

[NBA58760]

Welcome to Atlanta T-Mac

[officerbarbrady]

GO HAWKS

[BHAZ4WINGS]

too bad he took an arrow to the knee...

[Erarberto6]

the song please??????????

[itskillingmeagain]

i wish he becomes good again just like what happened to grant hill

[mykEn320]

I still believe in you Tmac...youre my basketball HERO..I have always followed you since youre in Orlando to Houston to New York an to Detroit, I know you wouldnt be the same again, but I know you can still be a good role player on a team. I wish you all the best.

[LiLSiCk916]

Kobe, T-mac, Iverson, VC > LeBron ,Wade, Rose,Melo

90s draft classes shit on the 2000-2011 drafts...Str8 up

[mmdaniels33]

@LiLSiCk916 Ya forsure..Skill wise they were better. But wade rose and lebron are just freakish athletes

[24ballin23]

Imagine what the NBA would be like today if T-mac, VC didn't have all those injuries and put in work ethic like Kobe.

[aDezenT]

@LiLSiCk916 VC is definetely not better than any of those 4 players. He could just dunk.

[LiLSiCk916]

@aDezenT lmfao just stop kid, you dont know shit...

[aDezenT]

@LiLSiCk916 YOU dont know shit!

[KidFatlol]

@aDezenT dude stfu hes absolutely 100% correct ur probly like 10 and dont know shit about basketball and probly a heat bandwagon

[aDezenT]

@KidFatlol keep dreaming...

[KidFatlol]

@LiLSiCk916 yep

[KawaiiNyahh]

@LiLSiCk916 LeBron is currently better than any player except for Kobe. Then you said Rose? Look at the guy...pwns' the NBA. Wade and Melo are classic and both very good. Your argument is invalid.

[LiLSiCk916]

@KawaiiNyahh kid be quiet, im comparing the draft classes, Tracy Mcgrady in his prime was better than anybody on that right side dont even try to deny it, if you do, your just another little kid who just started watching basketball..Kobe and Iverson are better than all of those players on the list left and right, ..Allen iverson would destroy D rose... What im saying is as a group Kobe, AI, Tmac, n VC in their Prime are way better than wade lebron melo and rose..

[KawaiiNyahh]

@LiLSiCk916 Never said anything about T-Mac read my comment again... And you said Iverson? Not even close to D. Rose...check the stats from Iverson's prime and check the stats of Rose's worst season...Rose wins. And I did say that Kobe is better than LeBron. Tracy was the best in his prime though, I know that.

P.S. Stop using words as kids,lmfao or anything .... You're just flaming and doin' nothing. Peace.

[LiLSiCk916]

@KawaiiNyahh LMFAO u said allen iveron in his prime cant compare to Rose? HAHAHAH you dont know shit, im done...

[cmistler13]

iverson was a stud in his prime

[116140]

@KawaiiNyahh

actually look at iverson's stats in his prime. He had higher points, steals and rebounds per game. Rose only has a slight edge in assists. Don't forget Iverson was pratically carring his team in the early 2000's. Don't know what stats you were looking at.

[xXILOVEGIRLSXx123]

@LiLSiCk916 Rose is too humble to be categorized with Bron Wade n Melo so stfu and have a nice day and Trace could have been better than those 3(AI)(VC)(Kobe)

[LiLSiCk916]

@xXILOVEGIRLSXx123 lol alright 

[LiLSiCk916]

Man i can't believe how hard this guy fell off, man even as a laker fan, i fucking LOVED watching t-mac play, especially when he played my guy kobe, he's definitely my second favorite player of all time right behind Kobe, i have a feeling he's gonna come back, he's shown signs of the old tmac last season but it was only certain games...

Kobe and T-mac > Lebron and Wade

[qwertyasdf233]

1:33 tracys 13 points in 33 seconds against the spurs ftw was the best play of the decade if you havent seen it watch it now

[naidyyy89]

fuck rose, fuck kobe and all these new "stars" ... t-mac and iverson the best :D

[nBA2k1LEVEn]

@naidyyy89 kobe is older than t mac.... and hes not a new star at all 

[scipiozjh]

May I know the name of music

[macka7021]

what could've been

[4eversum41]

hes coming.

[MrTxspeedy]

i still believe

[y2aat]

I've drafted him onto my Fantasy team every year, it'll payoff eventually, I'm sure

[lilbeatz101]

tracy was healthy i think he would most def be the best in the game right now and im a kobe fan

[edgarcarlson53]

for that whole first minute he's just thinking, "man, wish i stayed in T.O. with Vince, we woulda won ships there"

[BigDaddyG13]

Iverson, Mcgrady, Carter, Nash.. <----These guys deserve a ring, amazing players, SHOULD be future HOF'ers and all of em gave us a show, God bless

[Domini478]

@BigDaddyG13 Iverson, Nash, and maybe Carter is going to the HOF. Tracey ain't going nowhere!

[ReedHansen3]

"Please heal up and come home" Magic Fans

[216NaZzTy]

McGrady's knee surgery has to be one of the most career-impacting injuries the NBA. I honestly think if he didn't have the severe knee injury he would be just as good , or if not better, than a LeBron or a Kobe.

No player ever has had a 6'8" frame and move the way he does. He Moves like he's 6'3" . Crazy. Potential to be one of the best.

[jinjinpyo28]

I hope he'll join Chicago or Spurs

[SeGoOr97]

And steve francis o barón davis and wade my top 10 players

[SeGoOr97]

Mcgrady , iverson, Gilbert arenas , yao ming

[Lord980]

4:51 Amazing defense by Kwame Brown.

[youliangc]

great video!

[LEZTHEGOON]

@TheeJetPatel MIAMI not winning shit so why would he go lol

[charlesHBKWWE]

If Injuries never caught up with Tracy right now he would have at least 25,000 points! AT least one Championship! Would be compared to Kobe Bryant all the time! One of the greatest player to ever live.... *Sigh* Only God knows what he could've been

[BIGJVWE]

Yeah and T-mac is 6'8. Not much of a difference and he could shoot over guys too

[GeneralMcSlave]

"Here comes McGRADY- OHH he just sucked the GRAVITY, right out of the building!"

[dancingprince1]

Tracy rockets are waiting for you...

[KrkiPFC1]

DECKO JE NEKAD OBJASNJAVAO NEKE STVARI A SAD SU SVI ZABORAVILI NA NJEGA ♥T-MAC♥

[acar123123123]

@KrkiPFC1 Tako je :D

[vzaint23]

T-MAC is awesome than LeBron !

[vzaint23]

T-MAC & A.i ! PLEASE COME BACK ! WE MiSS YOU x(

[SuperArmin89]

I only want to say that Tracy mcgrady will be for me the best player around the world, because He did a lot of things That the people don't know. Tracy is and will be the best

[DITGent]

fuck these 5 dislikes

[Eddproductions21]

I miss the days when tmac , carter and iverson were young

[jasopfja]

Thrums up if you miss younger Tracy McGrady

[Speargate888]

It would be great to see Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter again someday. A family of high flyers, these cousins belong with each other

[WillMorebucks]

Here's what fucks me up... People say T-Mac won't be in the HOF b/c his numbers aren't great enough, which is clearly due to injuries. Meanwhile, people are quick to dismiss Bill Walton's meager career stats and say its b/c of injury. In T-Mac's prime, he was a top 10 SF of all time. I'd put him at #6 behind Larry Bird, Lebron James, Julius Erving, Scottie Pippen and Elgin Baylor. Probably the best player in the 2000s if we're talking pure talent.

[Domini478]

@WillMorebucks He couldn't win not one 1st round game.

[WillMorebucks]

@Domini478

I think you mean series, he won plenty of first round games. That's more cause of the teams he was on, not because of him. His playoff stats are historically good. Besides, there was a point when KG struggled with the same thing, and yet no one gave him this much grief over it. T Mac gets a bad rap is all I'm saying.

[Domini478]

@WillMorebucks He never won any series. That is not a legend. Every legend can at least win a series. Well, he didn't! KG is really in the same boat as T Mac because he couldn't do shit without Pierce and Allen.

[WillMorebucks]

@Domini478

KG is a top 5 PF of all time and he's not a legend? GTFOH...

[Domini478]

@WillMorebucks Top 5 players can win first round games and KG couldn't do that.

[WillMorebucks]

Well, you're ridiculously wrong in your standard of what a great player is, every expert in basketball would consider McGrady and KG great players of this era. But I guess if you think playoff wins are the only measure of greatness, whatever... You'll be the only one sailing that boat.

[Domini478]

@WillMorebucks They were good players but they didn't do shit in the playoffs. KG won a championship because he played with two all star players. T Mac had Yao and he still couldn't do shit! You got to win when it matters and they couldn't do it.

[panthersfantre]

@Domini478 idiot they barely played together as one was always hurt. n kg wasnt greaT? please go fall off a cliff dumbass.

[Domini478]

@panthersfantre He still played with T-Mac and they didn't do shit. KG is a great player but he couldn't do noting in the playoffs with Minnesota.

[AxonMoses]

@WillMorebucks

Walton lead the league in blocks and rebounds, plus he won an MVP and Finals MVP

[moetavern13]

@WillMorebucks I put him over LeBron because at least T-Mac Had Clutch

[KeepItGRated10]

@WillMorebucks T-Mac was a Shooting Guard for his primary position but I understand considering he's 6'9".

[aDezenT]

@KeepItGRated10 Hes 6´8

[KeepItGRated10]

@aDezenT He was actually billed at 6'9 during that time period.

[atomicsqueegebar]

@WillMorebucks hell yeah dude he is one of the only complete players in recent years. he drove to the paint he shot threes he hit fade aways he stuffed shots and his creativity on the court was genius.

[aDezenT]

@WillMorebucks Isnt he more of a SG?

[35Dior]

Tracy is my favorite player of all time and just so you guys know he is back watch next session

[Killaswaggurr]

Real shit i almost cried, McGrady was my fav player growing up

[bushyyATL]

@knohill7342 indeed man, same here. t-mac is my favorite player, only reason i watched the houston rockets to be honest. if he had been healthy throughout his career, no one would be doubting him like they do. i was at the game when he put up that 13pts against the spurs in the end of the 4th. CRAZIEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! long live t-mac, there's a reason he wore #1. oh and fuck the spurs, always hated them.

[LUPAC86]

2:00 the most awkward looking assist on the alley-oop

[MrBnambaSwag]

I WISH NBA CAN BE LIKE NBA JORDAN DAYS

[99702014]

He came to Taiwan several years ago,.I skip my class to see him in a gym,me and my friends keep shouting KING-MAC, he dribble, he run ,he shoot, I will always remember them.

[TheKiddJr]

iverson and mcgrady...wish they were on the same team

[13jakjak]

@TheKiddJr my favourite 2 players forever :)

[Marco121980]

@TheKiddJr the problem with these two are they don't like practicing... talented but not team players

[MrWessCoass]

@TheKiddJr they would take every shot...

[mrtamnus1]

@TheKiddJr

With Vince Carter and Gilbert Arenas
