    It is interesting that both players where coming off the bench for their first 3 years (but Tracy did start 30 plus games his last year in Toronto)..

    In Tracy's first year as the main guy in Orlando he averaged 26 points a game with 22 field goal attempts getting to the foul line 7 times a game...

    Their numbers or very similar in their first year as full time starters on a new team...

    Maybe you don't understand Mcgrady's talent level in his prime.. It's okay, basketball isn't for everyone ;)

    Haters need to watch these vids. While I agree that it wasn't solely t-mac behind the 22 win streak there is no way in hell it would have happened without him.

    He was a huge part of it. To deny this is ridiculous.

    If James Harden is TRULY FOLLOWING the FOOTSTEPS of McGrady,

    then wouldn't he stop like a foot behind the 3 point line and start jacking??

    You do realize that both Stacy and Tracy are unisex names.

    Chill with the sexism bro...if you don't like Tracy cool. But that doesn't mean you have to degrade half of the worlds population.

    Naw.....harden isn't quite the force McGrady was in his prime. Will be interesting to see if he ever gets there.

    Upon the news that Memphis Grizzlies traded Rudy Gay to Toronto Raptors, Oklahoma City center Kendrick Perkins tweeted: ''Wow that was 1 crazy trade today. Are you serious Rudy Gay is right there under KD, Lebron, Kobe, and Melo. #badtrade.''

    Mcgrady didn't play in all 22 games so he is correct. Also a few of the 21 games he played he did not play well.

    Right, because Tracy wasn't a prolific passer who looked for his teammates and average 5-7 apg in his tenure in Houston :rolleyes:

    No self-respecting NBA player that wants to go down as a winner should wish to follow in the foot steps of McGrady.

    None.

    And to the kiddies here....

    ....if you are saying to yourself, "I want to be like Tmac when I grow up", well, don't. What's next? "I want to be a druggie when I grow up"?!

    Stop disrespecting yourself!

    You have your whole life ahead of you. Why aim to be known as one of the biggest losers the league has ever produced?
