[Humbled]

My personal favorite player ever, even over Bron.
Dude was SOOOO

[leclutchjames]

[crazy dav0]

just gotta say what could have been ... like penny and hill and all the other great talents that were robbed

 

[k2theablam]

Not my personal favorite player but his 13 points in 35 second run is THE MOST IMPRESSIVE single feet any NBA player can do...

T-Mac was such a great player... The way he used to take over games

His scoring was just filthy.

 

[mr j 858]

T-Mac has turned into the generation after the Penny Hardaway stans.

10 years ago every month on NT we would get these same type of threads.

Yeees my Middle - Highschool 
The three performances that I will never forget are the 13 in 30 secs, the playoff dunk on the Mavs dude, and when he dropped 60+ on us the Wizards lol I remember getting off the couch and going crazy after he hit the last 3 to cap off the comeback on the Spurs

I'll never forget that Spurs game, being a Spurs fan myself that is embedded in my brain forever

I will never forget that game either

I was living in SA at the time, and got to see arguably the greatest last-minute comeback of all time

I remember just randomly watching it on TNT. It was a late night West Coast game and that got me SO hype I couldn't sleep for a while. Definitely will never forget that. Such an epic come back. 99.5% of the time, Spurs win that game no problem. 

 
Also that 32/6/5 stat line in a season where NO ONE could score

Gotta show my boy Tmac love 

The 13 in 33 still gives me chills.  I'm just glad I caught it live.  I remember literally jumping out of my bed when he made that last 3.  One of my favorite Tmac moments.

Another moment I love from him is when he dropped 8 3's on the Cavs when Bron was a rookie in the first half ALONE(just had to add that he was 8/8 by the way).  That game however pretty much summed up Tmac's career.  Was looking like he was about to have a MONSTER game, but of course, he comes out in the 3rd quarter and gets injured within the first minute and had to leave for the rest of the game.

T-Mac in his prime before his injuries was just a flashy shooter who scored a lot.

He did not have the same complete game like Kobe where Kobe could shut guys down on defense. T-Mac has never been known as a defensive player.

Also offensively Kobe's post up game, mid range game are better than T-Mac's.
And were talking about a guy who could never lead any of his teams out of the 1st round.

You just describe kobe 05-07.

and this year. He's a taller Iverson.

T-Mac was one of my favorite players, will always be appreciated.

I remember all your man-crush posts for McGrady.

Put T-mac on the Lakers with Shaq and your telling me he wouldn't have 3 rings or more?

Def would have made it out the 1st round

T-Mac is my dude though..

When Mike retired after the 6th chip i stopped following bball. Lost interest entirely. Plus there was hardly any coverage here in the UK.... I only got back into it when i heard he was coming back to the Wizards (yes i know, hardcore stan

) By then it was a different league, i remember checking online to see how he was doing. He was putting up about 20ppg which was good all things considered. I knew a lot of the names who were above him in scoring, Kobe, Shaq, A.I etc... but when i saw McGrady at the top, I thought how the **@% some Irish dude putting up numbers like this??

 

Anyway i check the highlights and it turns out he wasn't a pilgrim

.....absolutely filthy perimeter scorer though..His game was so smooth and the way he used to beat double teams

Been checking for him ever since

 

[Smorgasbordgie]

Man, I forget how dope he was

. Shawn Bradley stayed getting owned

 

[dipsetgeneral]
