One of the most dominant player EVER when healthy. An underrated legend. Well deserved HOFer
Taylor Giavasis fax
Ain't no way a chick this cute knows about the NBA you gotta be fake 😭
MegaKhas 💦💦💦
dominant df
Dominant? cant even bring his team in the playoffs. Lebron james took trash team in 2007 finals beating healthy champion detroit. t-mac cant even lift orlando. in the first round of play offs.. guess what a 2 year howard joins orlando and it became a playoff contender before. so how this clown deserve a HOF. please explain.Being honest here. I think T-mac is one of the cancer in basketball. When he is in houston and got injured the team is doing great without him. forces a game 7 to the los angeles lakers. Then this clown came back from his injury. They didnt even win in the playoffs when he return. he is a clown and didnt deserve to be HOF
T-mac deserves HOF and actually he just used 35 secs to prove it.
greatest 35 sec of basketball I ever seen
Bo Qu 33
Best 35 sec comment
@@intalent 33 sec
Yeap, 33
Wife of 20yrs
4 kids
Has all his money...
2nd career as analyist
WELL DO TMAC
Wife of 20 yrs? He's 38, so he got married when he was 18? Is this true?
Joe Black he probably just meant he has known her for 20 years.
Connor yeh they married in 04 i belive.. not sure tho. But were together since before he was drafted, or knew each other atleast
HIS WIFE SEXY THO LOL
@@joeblack7326yeah that’s his high school girlfriend
Thank you, T-Mac.
No problem 🙏🏾
i nvr knew tmac could articulate himself like that
Chris Webber and Vlade deserve to be in the HOF !!!
Chris Lam not Vlade, but I'm not sure how tf CWebb isn't there...
According to Basketball Reference, there are 37 retired players with a higher probability to get in ahead of C-Webb, with an additional 18 active players ahead of him... By that logic, there's a good chance we won't see Webber in the Hall anytime soon.
Some people think he's overrated..............and to those people I say, he's in the Hall of Fame and you can't take that away from him.
He's overrated as hell.
Amiri Copeland Ok. 😒
well he's overrated in the since that he's a first ballot HOFer,because lets be real....what has he really done to deserve that honor
LAKERSGANG! FAMOUS1! It's you're, not your. The irony. 😂🤣
ThaTruth223 he was good as kobe at one point fym
T mac will always be a hall of famer and throwing them alleys of tha glass to yo self so many memoriessssssssss
Tmac still smooth even in this speech. Such a gifted basketball player.
Can’t believe how well he spoke just in his head. He must have a great memory
So sad, that injuries basically destroyed his whole career. I wish, we could see a T-Mac without injuries...
The Don Killuminati Sadly perfect things can't be existed
enterthe void - Except Jesus
The Don Killuminati we did his name was kobe
Kobe fucked his achilles up and couldnt finish his career tho
EnterTheV01D yeah like the last year and a half TMAC had hella injuries should've been a top player longer than he was for sure
T-Mac is one of the reasons why I started watching basketball. Some people's favorite players are Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, KD, Curry etc. but mine was & will always be Tracy. You truly deserve this
Joan Gutierrez he always been 1of my favorites as well as Vinsanity
Joan Gutierrez facts still have his authentic Orlando jersey .....
Me too bro just a fantastic human being and underrated basketball player! Always bought his shoes and mimicked his style on the court!
Those TMAC 1,2 and 3 shoes!! So unique
@@silverstone4308the 1s are decent. The other two are trash. 🤷🏿♂️
One of the greatest scorers our league has ever seen
T-Mac'a public speaking skills are on point 💯
Rudra Saha which is why i call all this shit about him being a non leader total BS
Rudra Saha Shows you don’t “need” a college education to succeed in life.
T-Mac is arguably probably one of the best players in history to never win an NBA title. Injuries shortened and halted his inevitable amazing career he was destined for.
No he is not. This statement is even dumber than the stuff I hear from ESPN fans.
He was one of the best players in the nba before his injuries can't deny that.
I mean he still wasn't gonna win a ring if he was healthy. now if Yao was healthy too, holy shit. and then add Artest in 2009. What a team that would've been
Very Good player..., but not legendary.,Can't be legendary if your consistently forgotten about..
AustinLong1639 exactly especially cause kobe said tmac was the toughest guy he faced that says a lot
T-Mac is a 2x NBA scoring champion, 7x All Star, had 18,381 career points, and has so many legendary games, he is in the elite of the elite in NBA history
Easily.
Still made the Hall of Fame with all the injuries. He's a legend.🔠💯💰
Whoever says he is overrated but if he wasn't injured than he would make some legends look like trash
FaZe ViCE injuries doesn’t even matter in this case cuz he was still a 7x all star and 2x scoring champion.. people who say overrated are trolls and ppl who don’t play basketball
Colby Lynes well people should stop comparing him to kobe that makes him overrated
Bkc 14 he would have been better than Kobe
Lavar Ball maybe, nobody know..
Lavar Ball nah
Not Mj, not lebron, not kobe. Tmac is my favorite nba player of all time
Notredame Hunchback same!
#1Forever
same
Notredame Hunchback same. He single handedly got me into basketball.
Same here. He rep'd orlando to the fullest
Notredame Hunchback Respect!
Congratulations T-mac!
Yooooow you watch NBA too
Deserves to be in the hof don't care what anyone say
#StayMe7o 👍
why so serious dude stfu you dumbass he played on horrible teams against much better teams
But he is amazing
why so serious he deserved it
Only champions should be in the hall of fame.
I remember watching every single game of his in Orlando. Never saw anyone who played as effortlessly as he did and still dominated.
His Injuries took away his chance of becoming a top 10 player of all time... still a well deserved HOF, i loved his game and finesse, Thank you T-Mac
this nigga talking like he gonna run for president.. lol
still one of my favorite player of all time..
Tmac > Trump
And that's how everyone should speak when giving a speech.
If you're a teenager then I can see why you think that he's overrated since you didn't witness his greatness in his prime but as someone who was raised on Jordan and Kobe, I can safely say that he deserves to be in the HOF.
Facts. Didn't witness Jordan as much as Kobe, but grew up watching Mcgrady. Well-deserved!
I think even people who only got to see him in his Rockets days will say he's overrated. You had to see him in Orlando. Gotdamn!
NotARapper i only knew tmac as the guy who said he had a series a blew it, as a lazy offensive player going off pure talent. Boy was i wrong, i sat my ass down a sunday morning and watched the whole 2001 series against the bucks. I could never let the words, lazy, lack of effort, uninterested, going off pure talent, selfish, combined with mac pass my mouth ever again. I discovered basketball in 2014. But 2000's always been my era. Ive seen hours and hours and hours of film from kobe, ai, pp, wilt, mj, shaq, hakeem, baron davis, steve francis, and more. And im a person that, when i discover something i love, i analyze everything i see. Tmac is withour a doubt the most amazing basketball player i have ever seen. To me he was better than mj at ond point. Pwople just tend to forget tmac is 38 years old and in the HOF. And was litteraly done at 29.
I am a teenager and i know that he is Underrated
Yeah yeah... I grew up watching McGrady. He’s overrated. Players of his generation that were better: Kobe, Iverson, Pierce, SHAQ, Tim Duncan, KG, Ray Allen, Nash, Jason Kidd. I could go on and on. All have a championship or MVP.
This is and has always been my dude.
TMAC WAS A BEAST
8:13 when your kids are acting up at your Hall of Fame speech
The Golden Pick haha
The Golden Pick Plot Twist: T-Mac is God
Domini478 GTFO
The Golden Pick s
Ppl just like to hate on greatness cause they no they can never achieve the same thing as those they hate on. T-Mac is the truest player to ever step onto the hardwood of a basketball court, he was so far ahead of his time and could've reached the top with Kobe & Jordan but injuries stole this man's legendary career from him. T-Mac is and in my opinion will be the Greatest of His Time. But if the injuries would have never haunted this phenom...He would have been in talks with Wilt, Iverson, Kobe, Lebron & Jordan as who is the G.O.A.T... #ThankYouMcGrady your legacy will forever live on my brotha.
completely agree
Damn just imagine if Tmac never got injured. The battles him and Kobe would've had 😭
My nama Blegg If McGrady never got injured my brotha, he most likely still would have been a dominate force in Houston who would eventually come to form a deadly duo with modern superstar James Harden.
Much respect Tracy, YOU EARNED YOUR WAY IN MY MAN. Such a humble and we'll spoken person.
thx you Tracy.
all memories in my mind
you are the best
Man, what a classy speech.
Still smooth and effortless in his speech as in his game
Thank you T-mac for that heartfelt speech, you will always be my hero. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation to never give up not just in basketball but also in life. You truly deserve to be in the hall of fame.
I grew up in Auburndale, the same town as T Mac. I played with & against him when we were kids. He constantly gives back to the community & makes us proud.
He is the reason I fell in love with Basketball ! i'll thank you forever for that
Tracy "The Uncrowned ONE" Mcgrady. This man was a beast!
T mac was on the same breath as MJ , Kobe , AI and KD this dude was unbelievable and fun to watch
One of the best Hall of fame speeches i have heard in a long time. Good job Tracy, you definitely deserve to be in the HOF.
If Tmac had been stay as 2000-2008 performances, he would put up himself to MJ - Kobe class
You are 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯%%%%%%%% right!
Classy speech, from a classy player! Congrats T-Mac, very well deserved.
amazing speech. perfectly executed and embraced his time on the big stage
DESERVED!!! Thank you my Idol! Love you T-Mac!❤️
Not gonna lie I always watch HOF speeches to see if they cry lol
Silver I like to see that, and if they mention Jesus
Well deserved, in his Prime he was one of the best in the league
Tracy McGrady. 2x NBA Scoring Champion, 13 pts. in 33 secs., 22 game winning streak, HALL OF FAMER. Thank you T-Mac.
So much talent. Dude is underrated. He more than deserves his spot in the hall of fame.
Tmac one of the greatest ever. Underrated is an understatement. Together with vince and kobe, shaq, iverson these guys lifted the nba's level.
God what a speech
Thank you T-Mac! You are the reason I started playing basketball.
Loved watching you play, you will always be my favorite player
He showed me the game💯✔
Can't wait for Vince to go into the HOF, a grown man might cry on that night lol without a doubt my all time favorite player growing up
T Mac! I'm happy for your hall of fame achievement(: I believe in you. Had your shoes back then when I was in 4th grade.
Great career regardless of the injuries and lack of team success. Long time fan and supporter since 2000, mainly because of how humble he is. Dude is on stage still talking about how he doesn't "accept" being a HOFer because he feels he doesn't "deserve" it. Crazy he still thinks while it's happening. But man the dude is one of the purest talents in NBA history and one of the most smoothest players to watch.
Clutch ASF
Great speech!!!
T-Mac! T-Mac! T-Mac! T-Mac!, Thank you for years of great entertainment, I'll never forget watching you scoring with "ease". I feel lucky and honored witnessing live, "that San Antonio game" I remember it like yesterday and the fact that I predicted that, makes it that much more special, true fans always believe. Sorry to all the SA fans at Toyota Center that night that i told to "take their asses back down I-10" as I ran around jumping and yelling lol That was the GREATEST GAME I have ever been to and I will always remember it. I still have my ticket stub and newspaper clipping I need autographed. Thank you for what you do for HOUSTON and people around the world. True example of humility. You are a champion in my eyes, YOU DESERVE IT!
Growing up this was my favorite player 👌🏿💯‼️
T-Mac is the 2000's version of Kevin Durant
he was better than KD
Black Titan I just didn't want to step on any toes. You know how sensitive basketball fans are when you're comparing players
The Golden Pick he was definitely more versatile than kd. he isnt that much shorter than kd, who is supposedly 6'10, and can playmake way better. kd can handle but tmac made his teammates better
Black Titan no he's not
Sticks and stones may break my bones but there will always be something to offend a basketball fan
In 2k7 you was the goat in real life you was one of the best to ever do it
If not for injuries....despite those injuries, he STILL made it n2 the NBA HALL OF FAME! 1 of my favorite players of ALL time! TMAC! CONGRATULATIONS MY BROTHER!!! 🍻
One of my favorite players of all time!!!!!!!
All I can say is DAMN IM OLD!!!!!
Congrats TMac
Damn good speech t-mac! He talks as well as he was ballin!
Helluva player skill set was unreal the Mac man in the hall congrats legend.
He sounds a man who's spent so much time in reflection and how to pay blessings forward, that's what an inductee should sound like.
One of the greats.In his prime i believe he was best in the league.
T-Mac, it's about damn time 👏🏾
We love u so much
we love you tracy!
If kawhi leonard ever gets into the hall of fame, his speech is probably gonna be 15 seconds long
Lol
His rings will talk 4him, or fmvps...Or maybe his dpoy trophies. Players like tmac that don't have a lot to show have to talk a lot.
Luisiana Fhemanyan fuck you talkin bout “not a lot to show” smh
@Not so Wealthy Gamer t-mac aka mr.first round exit??? yall cant put a 2 times fmvp in the same convo lol. kawhi is a winner. tmac??
@Not so Wealthy Gamer Tmac aka mr.first round was just a devin booker or bradley beal of the 00s. Kawhi has 2 rings, 2 fmvps, and his teams are always reachin at least 50 wins per year. If u wanna win, you call Kawhi. If u wanna lose with style tmac is your answer 😂😂
Tmac>kd
dEssert 4 THought both going to the hall of fame
dEssert 4 THought Lebron>Both
Lebron James Lebron is a pass first player, people like T-Mac could carry a shit team. Injuries destroyed him though, not Lebron... he can't risk anything because he plays with shooters.
Khiean Paquete so Lebron didn't carry a shit team ?
What shit team did LeBron carry?
Great guy always loved him respect
It feels good to see T-Mac, inducted into the Hall of Fame!!! But it's also bittersweet seeing how his career, was shortened & derailed with injuries.
Thank u for all those great memories Tracy McGrady
👏🏾👏🏾
Imagine if he was on a playoff team at his prime. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY
he had no help in orlando lol
BuckMarley if he wouldve stayed in TOR with Vince they wouldve definitely met up with the Lakers in theFinals at least twice during the early 2000s
ThankGod I’mStillHere yah but toronto treated him like a scrub for 3 years, he needed to go somewhere that would allow him to grow his game, and vince was alot more selfish than what probably seemed like greener pastures in orlando with grant hill
imagine if he was on the nets with kidd who made a finals twice in a row in 02 and 03
Before Kevin Durant their was T-Mac! Well deserved!
One of mY favourite NBA plaYer aWesome T-maC ! 🏀💕
Thank you T Mac God bless you
One of the best player in the planet T-MAC!!!
Damn that's a way to end a speech.... salute to him💪🏽
Well deserved one of my favorite players growing up
Very good speech. New found respect for this brother
Imagine this guy on the 04 pistons
Kids nowadays can't show respect. They never even watched him play. That 13 points in 33 seconds was legendary.
Lol the same kids call steph curry the greatest of all time when he's nowhere near it
I got my momma to get his shoes for me when I was in 7th grade. I got so much respect from my peers on the first day wearing them. Everyone knew T-Mac was that dude
Thank you, Master T-Mac. You changed my game completely.
i love t-mac. you deserve it
Congrats T-Mac👏👏👏 He definitely is a better all around player than his cousin Vince Carter, not taking a iota away from Vincanity✊
Michael Ali probably not a competition between the two
Michael Ali vince will join him in the hof anyway
t mac should get the "you deserve it chants" Such a humble guy and top 2 SG in his era.
Well Deserved Tracy , I'm Honored To Have Been Able To Watch You Grow As A Player.
I wish Yao was there
where was he
Tmac without injuries is a beast, back in 2000s he was a superstar. Today, you can say that Lebron, KD, Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Kawhi are the only superstars. Back then it was, i remember, Kobe,Duncan,Garnett,Nash,Tmac,AI and VC. So to those who disrespect this guy go eat your shit somewhere
Letter A dirk!
Letter A You just disrespected sooo many players in the NBA today by calling Nash a superstar and not people like Giannis, Wall, AD, Boogie, PG, and CP3. Im not saying all these people are superstars like the people you listed, but If you consider Nash a superstar then you have to include these dudes because Nash is highly overrated.
Letter A The disrespect though. Dirk Nowitzki is definitely a superstar. Yao Ming, Deron Williams, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Jason Kidd, Chris Bosh, Manu Ginobili, Andre Iguodala, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol, even Amare Stoudemire were the underrated ones. Some of them flourished, some fell down. Yet they were my childhood, and I will never forget.
Gilbert arenas was also a beast!
Khiean Paquete Derrick rose? He wasn't playing when T was dominant though.
One of the greatest shooting guard of his era, accomplished A lot in the time he had in the NBA, championship or not I would hands down put Tracy on my ultimate team mashup, this speech is class personified, well deserved spot in the hall of fame
Tracy Mcgrady was really incredible to watch. He really had some Amazing moves and could score huge.
And still flight took an L
Marquez Ray who's flight ?
Marquez Ray somehow
#StayMe7o I just don't understand how he took an l. Can you explain ?
killergamerR33 He's a walking L duh
Marquez Ray most youtubers are trash, they play 2k and can't dribble properly
8:34 she senting him morse codes
you deserve it!!!forever love you!
Beast and such a humble dude
Rudy Tomjanovich needs to be in the hall of fame
#FACTS
Possibly the best scorer in NBA history
Can get you a bucket quick
This just shows how smart he is, the way he talks is just not normal. T Mac for me you and always be one of the best.
one of the greatest all time
clutch shooter
he was never afraid of making the last min shots.
