Yeah D-Rose and T-Mac were my favorite players from that era matter fact before T-Mac start getting major injuries he was the only shooting guard that I really thought was better than Kobe at one point.
people that never seen him play just don't know, watching him on that magic team in 03 was like watching a super hero play amongst a bunch of normal humans
The perfect NBA player. Athleticism, shooting, passing, scoring, playmaking, blocks, rebounds... like the thin and explosive version of Luka. Imagine Tracy hadn't the injuries but 20% of Kobe's work ethics and the changed NBA rules + playing style

Why does it seems like the dunks from the 2000s all star player are more entertain than nowadays? Like Kobe, T-mac, Carter, their in game dunks are just way more beautiful than today’s NBA
T-Mac is just one of those guys who makes it look easy when it comes to putting the ball in the basket and can also do other things. It's really a shame that injuries ruined what could've been an all-time great career from him.
I remember when Tracey arrived at Mt. Zion in my city Durham, NC, for his high school career. The hype and rare talent we witness was amazing!! 🙏 Great career sir! 🫡 Bullcity!!
He lead the league in scoring and always gave Kobe the work and outperformed him when they played against each other… He dropped 13 points in 30 seconds to win the game against the spurs. He was a super hero He was my favorite player back in the 2000s… Legend!
LOVED watching TMac in Orlando. Top 3 favorite player of mine. I just wish grant hill could’ve been healthy to make some legit playoff pushes with TMac there.
Top 5 SG all-time. During his prime peak 00-08. At ages 21-28. He finished top 10 in MVP voting during those years. And average 26/6/5 and was a 7x all-star. 2x first team All-NBA and 4x second team All-NBA. 2x scoring champion
3:55....There it is on Anthony, right there!! Such a nice pull up. Always had the smoothest game, just butter. Every dribble, every step back/pull up etc was butter
T-Mac is definitely underrated. Check out how sweet them jerseys looked back in the day. Nowadays, they look like they gonna play beach volleyball with how little they are.
Tmac was fucking insane man kids don't know how deadly he was.. Even kobe said it himself that he's literally me but in a 6ft 8 body and stronger...hardest guy to guard
I had the pleasure of watching him live in Orlando in 2000. Those baseline drives for massive dunks were insane. To add, ticket prices were so low back then! I had F all money and was still able to go see many games.
Tmac was a defensive player at first remember that. When he got the keys that’s the time he pop the clutch and took off. People saying he wasn’t a two way player, people hear narratives but haven’t seen him play. THIS DUDE was A SUPERSTAR without another all star caliber player in his earlier prime days. Due to injuries he wasn’t playing defense like that anymore and of course his offense went down as well. Deff one on my favorites along side Kobe to watch💯💯💯
Offensively Mac had the footwork and moves that Kobe didn’t get until later. This prime evolution of Kobe is typical for superstars( even Lebron is making more 3’s and shooting his version of a fade way now). We just never got to see Mac evolve bc of injuries
@@kerry-j4m but Mamba did T-Mac dirty way more than T-Mac did him lol. Kobe in GOAT discussion, T-MAC may have been if not getting injured as much as he did. Love T-Mac though he in my top 5 all time favorite
@@ItalianStallian423after injuries yes. Pre-injury Mac got him. Outside of offense, Mac also had multiple blocks on Kobe guarding him one on one(I watched games when Kobe shot the ball on top of the backboard trying to shoot over him). I’ve only seen Kobe get a block on him once ( from behind )
Underrated defender. His blocks for a guard/point forward was crazy. He would have averaged more if he didn’t have to pace himself bc he had to do everything for that horrible magic team
In every basketball game to this day, T-Mac is the cheat code. He is the easiest player to get the shot down and shoot threes with. He is the easiest player to run point but also get decent rebounds and block with. Kobe and Michael and Lebron are so nuanced that they end up being hard to play with compared to T-Mac. If it was just one game, or brand, it could be blamed on the developers. It's not. It's damn near every basketball game with T-Mac in it. I think algorythms are trying to tell us all, this man had the most pure, perfect, raw fundamental form and style of play. Go play any basketball game where T-Mac is in it, and you will see what I am saying. Go ahead; I'll wait....
I agree accept with Kobe I am actually better with Kobe than anyone in 2K but could be cause Kobe is my favorite player of all time and I always studied his shot, moves etc
@ItalianStallian423 I played NBA 2k the year Kobe scored the 81, and they did seem to give him the props he deserved for the most part but this was pre Curry becoming a human cheat code so they didn't give Kobe his full due, and they never really gave it to him during the era where only Lakers fans appreciated him and he was accused of being a ball hog. My experience with Kobe was once you get his shot down, he is money but it's still not as easy to get down as McGrady. You might miss three 3pt shots with McGrady at most (almost never any mid-range) before you just feel the shot. They basically make it so there are spots he can't really hit from, and he can't hit from 30 feet away but if you are right behind the line and release at the top it goes in. I haven't played with Kobe since he died. I imagine they are now starting to give him his real just due, especially since there is a discussion brewing online about whether Jordan could have beat the Rasheed Wallace, Rondo, Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce celtics with that Gasol Lakers team Kobe had, because there is no doubt Kobe would have won the same amount of rings along side Pippen, Kukoc, Kerr, and Rodman.
@@axieactionava1922 bro yea now since I re-started 2K in 21 Kobe is a cheat to me his shot is the easiest to learn and he can hit from almost half court all day! But 💯 T-Mac is my next fav player to play with and either one I can score at will 💯. R.I.P. Kobe me GOAT
You're awesome maxamillion!!! Haha knew you were a VC fan and have been waiting for the time for a tmac upload to finally hit one day. Christmas came early!
Mac was arguably the best player in the league at one point in Orlando( you can even hear commentators alluding to this during some of the highlights). He wasn’t stat stuffing. He legit lead a horrible team that wasn’t built around him as far as they could go. Orlando played real contenders well bc he made them a threat not bc teams played down against them. Unfortunately, the league had other people in mind as the face so he wasn’t in the best player narrative. Eventually his injuries and Kobe’s Mamba mentality helped Kobe become legitimately the best player in the league.
He was a defender as well. I personally believe that’s the part of his game that made the bulls flirt with trading for him they were fighting with Pippen (probably average over a block a game as a guard)

FINALLY A GREAT T-Mac highlight mixtape
Tracy McGrady Very underrated Top 5 unstoppable scorer of all time
When he worked on that mid range jump shot and then included the Three Point shot into his arsenal, he was unstoppable!!! T-Mac was dope AF!!!
T-Mac and Vince was the greatest duo ever ❤💥
Why does it seems like the dunks from the 2000s all star player are more entertain than nowadays? Like Kobe, T-mac, Carter, their in game dunks are just way more beautiful than today’s NBA
Cause players back then had more character and werent all named Jalen or Jaden lol
Because stephen curry is not yet born on that era lol dunk is the highlight reel now a days shooting beyond 3 point line logo is the highllight reel
Their shooting forms to me were all better then too! Hang time was a thing still
If if you don’t got Lebron on this list you just hating

Watching highlight like this reminds me of my teenage years. Like 1st year highschool during the year 2002. Men, im so old right now watching this.😅
Holy shit Tmac was nasty. If not for back injuries, he’d have gone down as one of the GOATs for sure

The intensity of these attacks to the basket is so explosive! Very similar to Wade.
us 90s kids had too good ...like dunks were just a normal day for them
He was an "XL size Jordan" in simple terms. Even Kobe said he was the hardest to defend. I'll put him against anyone's top 5 starters
Saw him juke Kobe real nice like.
Rip mamba
Much respect to Tmac. Really developed his game and overcame the shadow of being known as the cousin of Vince Carter
He was never in the shadow of Carter😂😂😂and t-Mac is wayyyyyyyyy better than Carter anyway
@@Murdaman-qu1tino he’s not 😂😂😂😂 check the stats 😊😂😂😂😂
The comeback against SA,will live in REAL Basketball fans heads for as long as we live.It was absolutely UNREAL.

Before Kevin Durant, we had T-Mac🔥🔥🔥
Tmac Def more athletic and explosive tho
T-Mac better
What😂😂😂
I love both. KD has the advantage of height but Mac bag was way deeper. Kobe didn’t get that level of footwork until his prime and became MAMBA

Fearless finishing on hall of fame 🔥🔥
Late 90s early 2000s NBA was great.
