I loved McGrady and felt really sorry for him due to the old/talentless teams he had to work with until the 08-09 season came along he just wouldn’t take care of his body...every season he showed up fatter than he was before, and his jumper declined every year as well 04-05 he was so much fun to watch...must-see TV T-Mac should’ve had a much greater career than the one he ended up having. to go from dropping 32, 6, and 5 as a 23 yo and being talked about as the next face of the league to turning into a full blown scrub a couple years later and even going to play in China...wow 02-03 T-Mac is still my favorite player of all-time now he’s just a bitter analyst hating on a real Rockets legend every chance he gets...he’s a sellout like Kenny Smith
Not like we played against bums either... never understood why Tmac got the blame while he was playing better than Harden ever did in playoffs
Great player who wasn’t at fault for our playoff failures... who QUIT on the team during the Toronto game (go watch the clips) and who announced a self diagnosed micro fracture surgery on the day he was going to be traded. **** Tmac. http://www.clutchfans.net/news/1545/the_day_t-mac_lost_houston/
lol, stop it T-Mac stan T-Mac was incredible in the 05 playoffs, but other than that, Harden sh*ts all over him T-Mac 07 playoffs: 25, 6, and 7 on 39/25/74 shooting splits...48% TS T-Mac 08 playoffs: 27, 8, and 7 on 43/21/62 shooting splits...48% TS in your mind that’s playing better than Harden ever did in the playoffs...lol, please... u T-Mac fans are so delusional Harden has many games better than T-Mac’s best playoff game as a Rocket, and he had several of them in the 2015 and 2018 WCF...something T-Mac knows absolutely nothing about
You all cuss out Mergady but him being traded indirectly ended up in the deal that brought James Harden. Injury/surgery or not he would have been traded anyway. Tmac for Kevin Martin and package - Kevin Martin and package for James Harden. All you had to endure was the Fool's Gold era. #BiggerPicture
I loved T-Mac on the Rockets. But T-Mac *NOW* as he talks about Harden is pretty lame with his takes. He comes off as salty to me and that is really unfortunate. As a *former* Rocket I would kind of expect him to come at Harden's defense from detractors....not BE a DETRACTOR himself.
He’s a quitter and he tried to torpedo his trade value when he told the press he was going to have a micro fracture procedure the same day ESPN had him on their front page saying we were going to trade him. Yes, thank God we have a good GM who managed to get something for the quitter.
At the end of the day McGrady had the physical ability to be the best player of his generation. However he mentally was weak and the best way to describe him is as a loser. He quit, he lacked drive, he was a poor leader, he lacked focus and had the mindset of a 15 year old boy. He is a loser. It is sad but true. He never learned to sacrifice or work hard.
Tmac lacked dedication and hard work Even his own coach JVG whom he loved, said he didn’t practice hard While Tmac fans claimed he was better than Kobe, who went to the gym everyday to shoot thousands of shots Talent level was the same , dedication to the game was a huge difference No matter how many ugly fat Kardashians James takes to Chipotle or how many mumble rappers he hangs out with , Harden puts in work . It shows in his durability and his results
I was talking about 05. The only time he was still Tmac as a rocket. He came back for 05/06 stronger than ever looking like a beast and then broke down and never been the same.
I was very disappointed at him, but I moved on years ago. He does support the Rockets I guess in a way. His comment that he thought the Rockets could upset GSW was interesting. We do match up quite well with them, but we have a long way to go.
Stacey McLady. That’s all I have to say. What a weak minded fool who wasted his elite talent. The only people who adore him are those who love sportcenter highlights over true heart. One of my least favorite rockets ever.
I've totally gone overboard on my T-Mac criticism. I'll apologize to any Clutchfan I meet about it. Let's do it on the night of Tracy's jersey retirement ceremony.
https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.c...tracy-mcgrady-raptors-free-agent-stayed-magic But in an interview with the Toronto Star, McGrady, who announced his retirement from the NBA in August, told Dave Feschuk that he wishes he never left the Toronto Raptors for Orlando. "In hindsight, looking back, obviously I wish I had stayed in Toronto," McGrady said. "There's no doubt we could have contended for a championship. I think about that often. But if 'if' was a fifth, you know?"
When he picked Lakers to win the whole thing before the playoffs I lost respect for him. I still stood up and applauded him when he came back with the Pistons but that always put me off taking a team to go all the way when Rockets were in the playoffs. And I 100 percent was on board with him since they did a terrible job putting players around him when he was healthy. Can't be to mad. We used him to get Martin and then Harden. So if it wasn't for him quitting on the Rockets I would never have seen the amazing games Harden has done. So cheers to Tmac. I hope him well and that they never retire his jersey. Harden is next.
