As the daughter of Lawrence Moten I really appreciate you all mentioning him and talking about the legacy he left on college basketball. I love this podcast !
Hearing TMac talk about his grandmother in the present tense is beautiful. To have grey in your beard and one of your grandparents in your life a huge blessing
Y’all the GOATs for this one. Never fail to bring us all the greatest players of all time season after season. I would absolutely love to see Brandon Roy on here. Been waiting for years, hoping to see it pop up soon.
TMAC is so underrated. This dude reached his prime at 23 years old and was a superstar at age 21-24. Just imagine what his career could have looked like without injuries. Kevin Durant even modelled his game after him.
I was at ABCD camp and witnessed McGrady's coming out party.He was such a late addition his name wasn't even listed in the program with the list of players.#175 was his number.He did work all week.Those that were still in doubt were totally convinced when he WINDMILLED on 6'10 James Felton in the senior all star game.Coaches threw their papers up in the air and the game was stopped for about 4 minutes because of all the excitement.I NEVER forgot that week.One of the most memorable weeks in ABCD camp history Then OJ Mayo head to head against Lance Stephenson was another.And the MOST memorable Lenny Cooke vs LeBron James.. .killed Lenny 4ever.

@@pericopinero1035 What’s crazy is TMac wanted to take the playmaker role if he was able to sign to Lakers with Kobe and Shaq However, if you remember correctly, he left the work opportunity with VC to spread his wings
@@DVitamin3 T- Mac was more Skilled & more Individual Accolades than both of them..all deserve to be on the list tho..even Dikembe, Grant Hill & Mourning
Man… Q & DMiles, Y’all are the truth for this. So real and authentic, absolutely love y’all interviews. TMac should’ve DEFINITELY been in the top 75 but I digress. Keep ‘em coming
I always like to hear these HS stories compared to them in the league. Having D Miles and Q being at them camps with these guys and now interviewing them is dope.
T-Mac was my first favorite player now he #2 behind Joe Johnson(who I’ve been waiting for y’all to have on the podcast forever lol). RIP Kobe but I remember watching T-Mac give mamba the blues, T-Mac was averaging 30 while the league was still big on defense 💯💯💯💯
T-Mac being one of favorite players, This by far is one of my favorite episodes thus far ..I would've of loved if yall had asked him to tell/share at least one Kobe Bryant's story.. seeing how they were so close ...but other then that Phenomenal Interview fellas
Love T-Mac! One of my all time favorites. Prime Mac was one of the best to ever lace ‘em up. Doesn’t have the resume or longevity, but there were a couple of years there where Mac was 1&2 with Kobe. Also, I need one of them Knuckleheads hats asap!
He left it all on the line dragging Orlando to playoffs by his self multiple times by the time he got to Houston his body was falling apart he maybe 1 and half good seasons in Houston and Yao’s body had already started to betray him plus people forget he spent almost 3 years in Toronto. I also believe coming out of HS he never learned how to properly condition his body like Kobe
@@evanspencer2605 You made some good points there Evan.When T-Mac played for Orlando I thought he was better than Kobe at that time.Better offensively.T-Mac back then was all that and a bag of chips !!! LOL.
I remember living in Orlando, Florida back in the days when T-Mac was on the team. There was this nightclub called Antigua's or some shit like that... I remember walking in and seeing ya boy T-Mac chillin' in his personal VIP section and man I'll tell you that was the first time I seen someone light a club up the jewelry around his neck. 🥶 That shit was twinkling and glistening 😆
Oh man! That's what I'm talking about. So many give props to T-Mac as inspiration.....waaaaay ahead of his time! Of course, his length and style were so unique, but I luv that he continued to mention how he WORKED.
I love how,and this is the reason I love Q and Dmiles is every episode or when we see dmiles and a on other shows They still have a passion for the “Game”.
This was a really good interview. Miles did an amazing job. And it was good to see tmac open all the way up for once. Respect. I felt his pain cuz dude was about to be top 10 before injuries.
Man T Mac was a bad boy I never forget me and my boys on the bball team bought his shoes when they came out and he did that off the backboard to himself dunk he changed the game !!
Personal Development vs Coach’s determined role is the detriment of most talent progression. I grew up in an area where anybody 6’2” or taller HAD TO work in the post first. Great foundation, but some guys never developed their perimeter game until it was too late/ never at all
My favorite perimeter scorer as a kid. I didn’t appreciate Kobe and Vince until 06-07, but T Mac’s pull-up was mesmerizing, combined with being the first 6-8/6-9 guy with speed and handle that I could remember watching live Always dreamed of being 6’8”-6’11” lol
Man, this was great. Tmac was the first sports star i idolized. I had all the shoes, clothes. Man, they guy doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Straight Killer.
T Mac gave people that Work, Very exciting to Watch. I thought him and G hill were going to be a special tandem in Orlando, Hell yes lawrence Moten was a bucket frfr ...Great episode #Dantana773
Man, just watched this whole episode. Literally, this was amazing. At one point, T-MAC was all I wanted to see when he was on Houston with Yao. Huge shoutout to you guys (Q and D-Miles) for this one. Basketball was at a milestone point back when y'all took the courts. Nostalgia is all over this episode, for sure.
Q & D, Thank you both for bringing on one of many NBA players that I enjoy watching in the 2000s era......You both did great on sharing stories and interviewing T-Mac....Glad to hear about his OBL and how well it is doing in the basketball scene.
Damn the record, 2002-2003 my fav nba season and I'm from Cleveland. I got to see all 3 of these guys play. T-Mac scored 21 in the 1st in one game I was at, and I got to see D Miles beat Q in another.
When people talk about athletes and put them down.....I love that these guys have platforms to show the truth.....all these guys are quality people.....family people.....love their country etc.
TMac been one of my favorites since he started doing the self alley oops!! him VC and Iggy were my favorite SFs growing up..also, Q a fool for starting it off “indoor pools, outdoor pools”😂😂😭😭😂😭
108:00 Thank you. I always knew The Knicks organization don't care about winning. It's clear as day. The Knicks as an organization make money hands over fist. Win, Draw, Lose ... They make money off of merchandise, tickets sold out every night, local msg tv ratings are high every night. The knicks are a goldmine.
That’s why back in the days everything was better. The stories and the word of mouth made guys seem bigger then life. I was in NY when Vince came to the Rucker it rained and it was in the gauchos gym in the Bronx. He caught the windmill oop. that was legendary it was talked about for years but if you wasn’t there the story grew bigger and bigger. Until you saw it on a mic tape.
Shout out to you guys, you have no idea tmac is my all time favorite player. Got the tmac 1s 2,3,4 all his shoes. Copied the way he played, so much memories
As the daughter of Lawrence Moten I really appreciate you all mentioning him and talking about the legacy he left on college basketball. I love this podcast !
Q
i was a big fan of his too. he had mad style with the long socks and his game!
Elimo Nelson from my highschool MILTON HIGH MASS...Played with your father at Syracuse.....Those High Socks were legendary...Game to match.
When I was younger I loved watching your father play when he was in college when he played for Syracuse. Very smooth yet aggressive game.
Lawrence Moten was a dawg!
Hearing TMac talk about his grandmother in the present tense is beautiful. To have grey in your beard and one of your grandparents in your life a huge blessing

Amen to that God is good
And for them to be of sound mind 🙏🏾
Facts!
TMac kept Kobe on his toes. His very existence in the league pushed him to be even greater.
😂
Stop glazing Kobe ffs enjoy T Mac
Y’all the GOATs for this one. Never fail to bring us all the greatest players of all time season after season. I would absolutely love to see Brandon Roy on here. Been waiting for years, hoping to see it pop up soon.
Yes! Brandon Roy !
That’d be awesome
Second favorite player after tmac he was a baller ,but career cut short asf.
Heck yeah b Roy , he’s a pretty good interview to
Y'all check out Michael Porter Jrs pod? B- Roy coached him or something and is on it ;)
TMAC is so underrated. This dude reached his prime at 23 years old and was a superstar at age 21-24. Just imagine what his career could have looked like without injuries. Kevin Durant even modelled his game after him.

I'll never forget when he told a reporter that his own team, the Rockets didn't have a chance in the playoffs against the Lakers. Lost all respect

I'll never get tired of hearing about the late 90s/early 2000s superstars talk about their high school years and those camps they went to.
All the different perspectives are so interesting
Allan Houston comes up a lot in these interviews, would be a great guest!
That dude is so underrated its unbelievable!💯
He was a monster
Watched him in high school, helluva player reppin my hometown, 1st person my city to sign $100m contract
Allan Houston was a bum .
He made 2 all star games and what else 🤔🤫
@@Malaki727 he definitely wasn't a bum... 2 all stars is great ... I'm a sixers fan and hated him bc he used to kill us

Amen 🙏🏾 💙
I'll take T-MAC over Dolph Schayes anyday! 😂
T-Mac is definitely not top 75 probably 100. Man was cold though.
@@KMas89 That’s fair… But Harden made it. Do you think He’s top 75 ALL time??
@@Nsuave11 you right I’m taking Mac of James harden any day of the week hands down
D Miles is right about that 13 points... I didn't see anybody else on his team! 🤣🤣🤣. I watched that live! EPIC
Best part of Knuckleheads is learning that while I always loved the player, I now love the man. So many examples. Tracy is definitely one of them.
I always like to hear these HS stories compared to them in the league. Having D Miles and Q being at them camps with these guys and now interviewing them is dope.
D gotta be my favorite interviewer. I enjoy the way he forms his questions
He ask Great Questions, Q always cut off and eludes to himself but Q still Big Bro though!..
@@Zo_1987 always lol
Damm man this is one of the best basketball interviews ever. Nothing but nostalgia
nostalgia is the word, absolutely. Good old days
T-Mac was my first favorite player now he #2 behind Joe Johnson(who I’ve been waiting for y’all to have on the podcast forever lol). RIP Kobe but I remember watching T-Mac give mamba the blues, T-Mac was averaging 30 while the league was still big on defense 💯💯💯💯
I thought I was the only person who uses blues like that in my lingo, good shit.
Wish he had a longer career every time I see him hof
TMac is a great interview. He loved Penny! What a tribute to play on the Magic reppin the 1 💙..

They probably didn’t ask out of respect
Been waiting for this episode for the longest one of my favorite players wished his career was longer but, still a Hall Of Famer

“Tmac was the hardest guy I ever guarded.” - KB (RIP)
This was an absolute great interview now get stephon Marbury
D-Miles asked some great questions in this interview.
Very impressed with T Mac. He’s way more than just a talented basketball player.
This was a really good interview. Miles did an amazing job. And it was good to see tmac open all the way up for once. Respect. I felt his pain cuz dude was about to be top 10 before injuries.
Would love to see Brandon Roy & Greg Oden

Tell TMac he need to put that gear out in stores
Yeah, used to have his gear and sneakers when he was in Orlando back in 2003-04
This really might be the nicest crib where they have done an episode of the podcast. Damn that interior design is nice! Good job TMAC.
