    What about the beef between Tracy and Vince? the cousins.

    http://sports.jrank.org/pages/820/C...iography-Basketball-Player-Tracy-McGrady.html

    One of Carter's closest friends during his first two seasons in Toronto was his fellow Raptor and distant cousin Tracy McGrady Jr. Carter and McGrady lived in the same Toronto apartment building and spent much of their time off court in each other's company. Over time, however, the warm relationship between the two players chilled somewhat as Carter consistently outpaced McGrady's efforts on the court.
    As Carter continued to occupy more and more of the spotlight in Toronto, McGrady began to yearn for some breathing space, hoping that he might develop better on his own. In August 2000 he left the Raptors and signed a lucrative free-agent contract with the Orlando Magic. In announcing his decision to leave the Raptors, McGrady said he wanted to be able carve out his own space somewhere and he hoped that playing for the Magic would afford him that opportunity. McGrady's mother, however, said her son had grown tired of hearing about Carter all the time. Although Carter initially reacted angrily to McGrady's remarks, the two have since patched up their relationship to some degree and look forward to a continuing rivalry between their teams.

    u know what you call those? gossips. they've both stated publicly that none of those were true.

    but again, going to orlando with grant hill. at the time, was that a wrong thing to do?

    grant hill was a better player than vince, and was arguably the best all-around player at the time. so he felt jealous of vince and then came to orlando with a better player? that doesn't make any sense.

    Before you have another link orgasm, McGrady left Toronto because Vince ran the show there, Mcgrady knew he had the talent and leadership to run a team. Vince is the one that got bitter.

    what a nice post, as long as you don't try to explain that tmac's teammates didn't suck, then you won't get deleted.

    to answer your question, probably like your dad.

    We had home court against Utah a few years back and lost in game 7. we were favored to win that series.

    We had a 2-0 lead against the Mavericks and lost that series in 7.

    how can you blame tmac for vince carter shooting 30% (and 10% from the trey) in the playoffs that year before tmac left? i mean tmac wasnt so hot himself with 38%. everyone but 3 people shot less than 40% that series against the knicks. i mean tmac left and everyone's shooting percentage went from craptacular to 40+%. i can see why people would say it's tmacs fault but im on the side of the fence that thinks that's a bit far fetched.

    Wow!! I use to know a guy like you, always negative, looking for the worst in every situation. He is season ticket holder for the Clippers.

    Well they did beat the Knicks the next year and was one shot away from the ECF. That did show the team did progress.

    The only series McGrady was favored to win in was against the Jazz when we had home court advantage. We should of won but it is what it is.
