Tracy McGrady Top 5 Best Career Moments

     Tracy McGrady has had a lot of great in game moments in his life. It is hard to rank his top 5 but here they are:


5: 4th career triple double
4: t-mac scores 62
3: T-mac On Shaun Bradely
2: 22 game win streak
1: 13 points in 33 seconds.

Tracy's NBA Journey

     Tracy McGrady has been on five NBA teams. Basically 4 teams though because the Knicks was just for 24 games. He used the Knicks so he could play more that season. Tracy was booed at the 3 places he returned (he wasn't booed at the Knicks and that doesn't count). He loves playing while being booed. He says it doesn't bother him he just plays better. But Tracy never disrespected the cities. He said he loved the city and fans it was just time to leave. He actually said that in an interview, and said it wasn't like Chris Bosh and disrespected the city.

     I think Tracy looked good in every jersey he played in. I liked the Raptors jersey on him the best though. Then I liked him in the Rockets, Magic, Pitons and Knicks are about tied. I think he plays well when he is booed. Every returning home game he played very well. In my opinion he shouldn't have been booed at any of the 3 places he played at.

T-Mac On Top 100 List

     On "Top 100 List Everything", Tracy McGrady is ranked the 48th best player to ever play the game. If Tracy were to never get injured who knows where he would be on this list. This website says if he was never injured and based on talent T-Mac would be in the top 20 no doubt. Tracy has a lot of amazing accomplishments under his belt. He might be a Hall A Famer, he might not. It was said when healthy he would finish top 6 in the MVP voting. He got robbed a few times on the MVP i think. First off he should have gotten it the year he led the Rockets to a 20 game win streak in stead of getting 2nd in the voting.

     I think Tracy deserves to be the 48th best player to ever play the game. Besides a championship he has completed everything. Out of the top 20 best players with out a ring T-Mac should be in the top 5 because he was so good. Most kids today (Jamison Maxwell) never saw him play or looked up videos, so they don't know what they are talking about when they say he was overrated or something.

T-Mac News

     The Knicks have just now been swept from the NBA Playoffs. Chauncey Billups was hurt almost the whole series but I think T-mac could be the Knicks missing piece. If Chauncey decides to resign with the Knicks, Tracy and him could be the Knicks veteren leaders. Well If you think about it Roger Mason could be too with his championship experience. Bill Walker probably wouldn't want Tracy to sign with the Knicks because he would take up more of his time and Shaun Williams time would be taken up.

     I wonder what number Tracy would pick if the Knicks picked him. Amar'e took his number #1, and Shaun Williams is number #3. I think Tracy could really help either New York get over the hump, and he could help Chicago get over the hump. In Chicago Tracy could be their veteren leader. I think if Chicago like planned, signed Tracy McGrady they could have an even greater shot of winning the NBA championship. Tom Thibodeau and his coaching staff are regreting not signing McGrady after seeing how much progress he made this season.

Tracy McGrady Injury Free

Tracy McGrady is looking forward to entering free agency feeling healthy.
     T-mac is glads that he is injury free this season. This is his first season to be injury free since the 07-08 season. Tracy this season played 72/82 games. He rested the last four games of the season. That leaves 6 games to determine what happened and like 4 or 5 of them he sat out for missing practice. So i think one game he sat out for his leg hurting. He almost had like 3 triple doubles this season.

“I feel good about the progression I’ve made this year, being able to get through this whole year injury-free,” McGrady said before the Pistons’ game against the Nets on Wednesday night.

McGrady said, “My body is feeling good, and I look forward to next year — whenever that happens.”

I think Tracy has played very good this season and so do critics. When they gave offseason grades Tracy got a B and they said that one more summer of rehad he will be very very good. So I can't wait till next season. Tracy still undecided about the team he wants to play for. Tracy had his microfracture surgery in February 2009. So if Tracy has one more summer of rehad I think he will be deadly good.
"I feel that I've made some strides on being able to prolong my career and be able to stay in this league a few more years as opposed to having to deal with the injuries and having to walk away from the game because I'm not healthy," said McGrady, who said again he will consider the Pistons.
"But, yeah, I think I've helped myself in showing people that I'm healthy, and I'm sure I have a lot more people that are interested in what I can bring to their team than I did this past summer.

Kevin Durant The Next Tracy McGrady

     Tracy McGrady and Kevin Durant have always been compared. Critics are starting to compare them because of the playoffs and their scoring titles. Tracy McGrady won 2 scoring tittles and they starting saying he was the best in the NBA. He never got out of the first round and I don't think he played bad in the playoffs. He almost averaged a triple double, he scored like 29 points a game. The stats are on NBA.com if you want to look at the stats. But Kevim Durant struggled shooting terrible from the feild. If the Thunder get out of the first round this year, I say the Thunder is why they got out of the first round because Kevin has a way better team than T-mac did.

     I think they are very similar players becuase they score just the same, and are both tall and lanky. People told Kevin when he was in high school that he played just like T-mac. T-mac abd Kevin Durant get scouting reports like this.
“Simply dominant, the type of player who can put up big numbers even when his man is playing outstanding defense. Gets a third of his offense from pick and roll situations where he can simply dribble off and pull up, with another quarter coming from isolations.

Impressive jump shot, gets incredible elevation and can shoot off balance with little trouble, particularly from mid-range range. Not very effective from beyond the arc, but still attempts quite a few shots from there.

Operates as a bit of a point forward. Great one-on-one skills. Excellent hesitation moves and use of ball fakes. Plays the game at many different speeds. Effective crossover. Hard to stop off the dribble. Outstanding ball-handler at his size. Prefers to go left and go to the rim where he can finish explosively with either hand.

Can get by his man when he faces up in the post. Great catch and shoot player. Doesn’t get a lot of transition opportunities. Gets to the line at a good rate, but needs to improve his consistency.
 Tracy also is better in close tight situations, like 13 points in 30 seconds. Kevin has had one game winner this season, and it was verse the Knicks. I was at the game and have to admit it was very impressive. Kevin takes horrible game winners, like I remember one verse the Grizzles he just took the stupidest shot. Also they both have the same work ethic.
