13 points, in 33 seconds, to win the game, is the most incredible thing I've ever seen in a NBA game.
he changed his game slider all the way up to 100 during those 35 seconds
It was just ridiculous...
He was a lethal sniper... He hasn't blood in his veins, just titanium bullets and lot of gunpowder...
It's impressive the confidence in his eyes and body language taking the ball in those final seconds knowing he was about to kill them...
Even being fouled...
Thank God he wasn't a criminal on the streets, because he would assassin a lot of people without missing a head shot...
I turned off the TV for 1 minute when I saw 1 minute left on the clock, and Spurs up. Then turn it ON, and T-Mac start happening. That was a freaking crazy game.
Good era
If he play like that 33 second performance on the all match, he probally get 600-700 points in one game. :)
Feel bad for the young ballers who didnt get to grow up watching T-Mac, Kobe, AI and the other legends of the 2000s
DJ Stallion word lol those guys were a different breed. KG in his prime too.
Well I didn't grow up with them, but thanks to CZcams I can watch the old greats highlights and even full games. I can sayMcGrady is my favorite player ever. Just the way he played was special and magical (no pun intended😂)
Vc was top among those
Forreal. They have no idea. Basketball is so soft now
Laker fan, watched Kobe his whole career. T-Mac has more game.
The 2000's were loaded. Every team has their own superstar. And those superstars were really fun to watch. I'm glad I was able to witness that great era.
Andrew Gutierrez what was your favorite team though?
baron davis is the underrated one of the lot..no one gives him credit for how nasty he was...
@@randombucksfan5477 sacramento kings was my favorite team. Always fun to watch, sad they didnt win a title. Because of some controversies and that robert horry. Heartbreaking.
AI and Philly in the east and Nash and the Suns in the west for me
yep nowadays team stacking is rampant.
Highly underrated because he never won a ring but talent wise, among shooting guards, he's right there with Jordan, Kobe, D-Wade, & Iverson!
Agreed. Under different circumstances, no injuries he had the talent to be in the GOAT convo. Sky was the limit.
Agreed
He has a ring
@@zay3304 Yeah, but he even admitted, he was a shell of himself, he wasn't a major contributor & he wasn't the main star or even the 2nd star, he barely wears it or mentions it, according to him
@@anthonybanks4958 he doesn’t have a ring Lmfaoooo they lost to the heat in 2013
"For me T-mac is the toughest to guard" - Kobe Bryant
Respect to T-mac.. one of the talented & skilled player in NBA history.. HOF
i was going to write that him was the best kobe adversary
He got Kobe in one of the highlights
That's bs he said Ai was the only player that always kept him on his toes defensively.. Ai dropped multiple 40+ point games against Kobe guarding him Tmac never did that
@@joestuehmer7967 you ain't seen the kobe and t-mac interview from earlier this year
Kobe always changes his answer but I never seen anybody make Kobe look so foolish on defense as Ai did.. Just watch some games with Kobe guarding Ai then watch the games where Kobe guarded Tmac he clearly guarded Tmac a lot better than he guarded Ai.. I laugh when Tmac only mentions Kobe as his rival when Iverson was clearly a better player than Tmac was the only year Tmac was better than Iverson was in 03 every year before or after Iverson was hands down the better player and the stats prove it
Paul George and Kevin Durant Both idolised T-Mac. The influence is real
Wrong Paul George idolize Kobe
Keshon Hoggard and T-Mac fool
Paul George game is similar a bit
Real as hell
Wrong KD idolized VC
That 13 points in 30 seconds is the most phenomenal thing i’ve ever seen done in a basketball game.
And he was being guarded by the incredible Bruce Bowen. It was truly amazing.
Basketball was so electrifying back in the days. It's hard to replicate that kind of feeling this generation. Pure talent all around Mcgrady was.
One of the most talented players/scorers of all time. Loved to watch him play 🔥
James Clayton u think he would’ve won a ring if he played wit AI 76ers
As a kid T-Mac inspired me to go out and play, watching these highlights I’m getting some flash backs.
Tylee Davis definitely
and passers
Matt Wright Fr one of the most underrated passers of all time
"Whatever I can do, he can. He's just taller than me" -Kobe Bryant
NJ DarudeDovich all I kept thinking watching this video, is he plays like a taller Kobe
@@onezero-10 definitely alot more explosive than kobe
Billy Chode the length helps, Tmac has better a hangtime
T-Mac is basically longer Kobe with better athleticism but lazier defense.
@@Fit.digital no offense to kobe but tmac was alot faster and had better timing then he did.
I'm from Houston, I remember the 13 in 30 like it was yesterday. As a Rocket fan I just knew that some miracle was going to happen that night. I believed as the seats started to empty early as the hometown fans couldn't imagine a comeback as the one T-Mac carried out all by himself. I'll never forget this moment.
You’re a lucky man to have witnessed all that in front of your own eyes. Good move on sticking by your seat 😂
People often say that T-Mac never worked as hard as MJ and Kobe.. that might be true.. but he never needed to. That's how talented this dude was.
We don’t know how hard he worked, but his shot improved rapidly so he obviously worked hard on his shooting.
@The Techxtremist Kobe claimed T-Mac was pretty much him but taller by 3 inches. If it weren’t for the injuries, T-Mac would be in the top 10 of all time.
Truly we don't really know but what we do know is he never a complete team around like Kobe, MJ, Magic, Dr. J, D-Wade, Jerry West, Bird, Curry, & Isaiah, get the picture, all these ALL-TIME great had more complete & talented teams around them!!
@@anthonybanks4958 the great ones just make those around them even better mcgrady could never do that
@The Techxtremist can’t say Carter …. He lasted longer than them all
Imagine a 6'8 foot 23 yr old guy who averaged 32 and his actual best attribute was his ball handling skills and passing.. damn.. T-Mac was SPECIAL
6’9
@@NoOne-zk4ph no 6 foot 8
@Not so Wealthy Gamer wtf are u talking about??
@@brazenblood4875 tbf it's been stated multiple times that players believed T was 6,10 with shoes so basically 6,9
Is nobody watching that this was sent 100 years ago🤣
Tmac had all the potential to be one of the G.O.A.T . Anybody agree. Only player in history to score 13 in 30 seconds for a come back n a W
True but you forgot reggie millers 8pts in 9 seconds
with a comeback win bro,
Think it was even less time than 30 secs
@@pohpoh2198 reggie score in a comeback win
julius dogta ain't forget We just talking bout t mac at moment lol
I will always be a TMAC fan. Even up to this time. TMac was just crazy. If not only for his injuries. Damnnnn.
T-Mac without injuries he would be def a Top 20, 15 or 10 player ever. Its just crazy how complete he was. Def a "What if" Goat💯
Still got my “GRADY TRAIN” t-shirt from the Magic days 😂 I was 12 when I got it & still wear it to this day
Perfect combination of skill, athleticism, and basketball IQ! If he was in his prime playing today, he would be the best in the league without a doubt.
He'd average 40-45 a night in today's NBA and when the magic were terrible he never complained and played extremely hard every night....
Definitely unstoppable if He plays in this soft, no defense and no hand checking era. He was averaging 30+ppg in the Magic while also playing good defense. He was also unguardable during his prime and his arrow sharpshooting will be a threat to everyone.
Overrated
luckily his career wasn't completely derailed like a Grant Hill or Penny Hardaway but he definitely had injury issues
He averaged 32 PPG at 23 Bro...
Underrated Stat holaaay 😮😮
Your right bro even kobe says so.
Imagine if he stayed healthy with better teammates until his prime.. he could've been top 5 all time no joke he was super talented
@@scarykurapika100yago2 32 ppg at 23 Imagin what he could do at age 30 if he stayed healthe
@@scarykurapika100yago2 he was much more talented then vince carter but those injury didnt let him to show his full class
The aesthetics of his moves is unparalleled. So smooth. So beautiful to watch. Miss this man.
Poetry
EXACTLY mate. The fluency of his movement is so pleasant to the eye.
@@amjan because he was naturally that good, the effortless look is just appealing... It's why it's hard for me to watch like LeBron sometimes
Jordan was equally smooth.
t mac is literally if you put lebron kd and dr. j in a blender...just the most perfect player body wise
3:35 This play made me think T-Mac was unstoppable. I loved seeing him and Kobe go back and forth.
One of the nastiest moves ever.
They said it pumped them whenever their team has a match. Brings out the best in them kobe and tmac
He was a taller kobe
the amount of confidence he had in these 30 seconds is just so ridiculous, he had no doubt that he will score every shot!!! what a player 💪💪🙏
His spatial awareness was so crazy 🤯 even when he wasn’t given any space he was gonna be a problem.... but if he had any at all IT’S OVER!
Real ones remember just how much of a beast T-Mac was in the early 2000s. He was a criminally underrated passer too.
His defense in Toronto was unreal...he was like a center...lol
Yes sir
@500thou He was nice but he definitely isn't a top 5 player ever. Not even close.
500thou Jordan tmac bird Hakeem Curry kd and everyone else. They had the most skill lb for lb
I’ll be rocking the tmacs all the time the white and blue ones
T-Mac's the big reason why I started watching the NBA and loved it. Happy Birthday T-Mac!
Yep, same!
me too bro back in 07 i started to watch nba because of him playing nba live 07 on my ps2 lol fell in love with the game bacause of that game what a classic
for me is Yao Ming， but at last I am a fun of TMac
same
Me too. Made me a Rockets fan.
TMac was beloved not just in the US but he was beloved by French NBA fans too.
This man was special. So fun to watch, damn I miss this era!
The only player to do Jordan's reverse layup over and over with perfection
Facts those r air man's talent lol nasty
Eh, plenty of players do it. The players started developing after Jordan. Kobe, after becoming super Kobe did this and more. Hell, me and a few friends did it on regular basis after noticing it's equivalent to left handed layups and right handed layups. But I agree with you on some of these spin off the glass reverse lay ups. However, watching him, and Jordan, you'd see they miss it more than make it.
Wade
I know right. But that acc name thou
T-Mac was just different 😱🤦🏿♂️
Penny 2.0
not different. Just perfect
Jerome Hodges WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY MORE EXPLOSIVE THAN PENNY
And he had more of all around game then Penny. Imagine if Tmack and Penny played together
@@jhodges7041 l feel that💯
If PENNY was a pure scorer, this is what it'd look like but he was a passer first. 🔥🔥🔥
Favorite player of all time. Love the way he played.
He also had the dopest shoes, to this day T2s haven't been topped.
That last moment when he dropped 13 in over 30 seconds make feel joy and chills...
Even tears and admiration of how great T-Mac was... Such a joy watching him doing things that made even explode the stadiums...
Thank God we could watch him playing...
Tears of joy and proud of McGrady...
Great basketball memories...
Iverson, Tmac, Francis, Webber, Marbury and Davis are guys from my generation that I wish saw better ends to their NBA career. I miss these days.
Tracy McGrady is one of the best players of his generation. His off-the-glass dunks were just amazing.
One of the smoothest player in nba history
T Mac's game was just amazing to watch. He was the first person I ever saw throw the ball off the glass to themselves!! Offensively he super athletic, fundamentally sound and could shoot lights out.
This is why I always pick Tmac on Black top 😂😂
TooGood 4Youu facts 😂
TooGood 4Youu Bro factssss, his all around game is better than everyone imo😭 he don’t have to be a 99 for me to cook
Who plays blacktop lmao
Wait I thought you could only pick current players
Ethan Griswold me fucker what’s the problem
As a Chinese it was Yao brought me into NBA. Of course, I support Yao and Houston but t-mac plays basketball like an art. That shocked me so much cos I have never seen someone play like that before. The way he dribbled and those jumpshots are so beautiful. Though I watched Kobe, AI, Dwade afterwards, T-mac is unreplaceable to me.
Glad Yao brought you into basketball. Its a beautiful and fun sport to play and watch. Im a lakers fan but Yao and Tracy are two of my favorites and hall of famers
Btw even shaq said Yao is one of the best to ever play
Coronavirus
AjBro you are a fxxk racists
@@ajbro6428 stfu
My first ever favorite player. I was 9 years old when I truly started loving nba basketball (before that i was basically only watching my UK Cats play). TMac was just everything I wanted to be whenever I played basketball...he had it all and his back just screwed him. Imagine that Magic team if GHill and McGrady were both fully healthy together 🔥🔥
1:06 One of the Greatest Plays in NBA History imo..
The aesthetics alone is mesmerising let alone the difficulty..
2:12 is my face the whole video
Lmao! indeed!
𝚝𝚛𝚞
Man 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The 🐐. Tmac is my favourite player and forever will be. One of the greatest scorers ever and could’ve been top 5 all time with that kinda talent. Injuries man💔
He is top 5
Much love bro....T Mac is my favorite all time too. Nobody that I can remember played like him. NOBODY!!!!!
@@willydoe7315 he can’t be top 5 without a ring or even mvp. He’s top 3 in players without a ring though
#1 To me 👋
He was a taller kobe
Just miss watching the NBA and guys like T-MAC. Seeing him dominate w/ the Magics and then trying to pair up with Yao was transcendent at that time, like he finally had a Duo in the making. Sad to see him get injured; I suspect he relied too much on his intense style of play without evolving his game. Glad to see him on TV and still giving fans what they want!
2:20 could be the sweetest piece of improvisation off the triple threat I've ever seen. I mean, it first looked nonsense, but it's actually brilliant.
Prime TMac would avg 35ppg easily in today's game.
And still would go out in the first round!
@@Madferit91 yo, why you gotta be like that lol
@@Madferit91 not really prime tmac would just join a superteam and win multiple rings
Or hed be like Melo
Trevor Miller Yeah in the worst teams in the nba. Put Prime Mcgrady on the Bucks they’re winning the chip
His body control in the air is incredible
2:44 was ridiculous!! I love watching this man play! He was an absolute beast!! The best play for at least 5 years. I miss he energy and he had the attitude to tell anyone I’ll dunk on you without hesitation! The blocks were ridiculous too!
Watching these highlights reminds me just how similar his and Kobe's swagger were. They looked like they were always playing against a bunch of guys that doubted them in a stadium full of doubters. Menacing dunks, nasty lay-up packages, and sharp-shooting from 3, not to mention they could play best-of-the-best defense when they wanted to
t-mac is one of the best
It was just plain amazing watching T-Mac play during his prime. He was so good and strong in both defense and offense that you could see him as Jordan and Pippen rolled into one basketball player.
He may have not won a ring and had a career cut short by injuries, but he definitely deserves all the recognition and to be in the Hall of Fame.
Damn, i miss this guy. No one player can imitate him.
as a kid growing up in la and rooting for the lakers all my life, t-mac was still my favorite player growing up. i thought there was no one like him at his peak. dude could do everything and anything offensively. wished he moved on from orlando a bit earlier. when ppl complain about why players move around teams and take their careers into their own hands, the missed opportunities in tmac’s career is one of the reasons why.
Anywho…loved T-mac 💙🤍
You'll never see this type of player today.
*T-MAC to the rack*
Donovan Mitchel maybe will get close
@@cantormp Mitchell is more like Wade
Mp. Comparing Mitchell to t Mac? Naw that’s not even close they don’t even play the same position
The closest thing imo was grant hill
how about Giannis?
T-Mac to the hole with soul! Wish the Goatmentator was around to describe McGrady's highlights back then. So many bars could be made.
LOL, so true!
It was always a pleasure to watch this guy. What an absolute legend.
Legend..absolute pleasure growing up watching this guy play.
Injuries really stopped this man from getting his ring😭😭
him retiring a year early did
@Erin Duverger he already had all the talent
Royj Divine practice makes perfect bro. If he put in the work like Kobe he would have been an elite player for sure.
And also terrible magic teams
@Erin Duverger His coach said his body actually does not allow him to train much, otherwise he gets injured (more) quickly. That's probably why he does not like it.
Big Sleep 🔥 One of my favorites of all time
Mac was a great one, they only used him.
I’ve been watching each clip since 18 yrs ago. One by one. One plus one. Year by year. Still beautiful.
I can remember watching that spurs game live! It was still to this day the most amazing thing ive ever seen in a ball game
T-mac and KG were my two favorite players to watch growing up
Exact same 💯
One of the Greatest of All Time 🔥🔥🔥
dude was an unbelievable talent one of the most athletic guys ive seen in bball
I swear I watch this once a month😂 T-MAC so goated bro
Top 5 mixtapes ever.... RIP the victims 💀
Bruh this might be #1
My favorite player to watch growing up was T-Mac. He did something special every night in Orlando
"OOOoooooo He just sucked the GRAVITY right outa the BUILDING" - Best call I've ever heard in the NBA :D
watching this brought a smile to my face, man T-Mac was/is great!!
As a life long Kobe and Lakers fan, I really enjoyed watching Tmac play and loved his game. You don't see players like him, Kobe, AI, KG, VC anymore. Glad I witnessed them as a kid.
Big facts man only 90s kids that grew up in the 2000s. He was a taller kobe
Mcgrady was so talented
"Impossible is Nothing." Loved T-Mac as a kid up until now and loved his shoes and commercials too :)
2:21 👐🏿, like nothing I’ve ever seen before 🔥😮💨, that’s one hell of a move…that’s too crazy 🤌🏿🥶!
Most memorable for me was when he scored 13 pts in 33 seconds against the Spurs. I had the honour of watching it live on TV at the time. Brilliant player full of talent.
Can't imagine being able to seeing that moment live on TV man. Insane.
Dr Sandeep Parwaga just amazing
TMac, A.I. & KG 😯😯😯 TOGETHER!
Would've probably been Greatest team probably ever!
Then wont work together. KG and Tmac could be. But with AI? I dont think so
@@jeffersontorres3609 Ai averaged 8+ assists once he got shooters around him.. He was a willing passer just played with scrubs for most of his career so was forced to take all the shots
This guy was one of the most exciting player of all time.
That was amazing!
Thanks for sharing,
This is the nastiest highlight reel EVER in any sport
I remember that 13 point 4th quarter game vividly! i lived in San Antonio at the time and had just came home from a aau league game that night, i always watched the NBA on TNT and i caught the 4th quarter of the game. As soon as T-Mac hit that first 3 i knew we were in for a good finish 🔥
T-MAC all the way BABY!!!🏀🏀🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥 LOVE watching that man play in the NBA! Those 90s when they were all coming into the league… oh my goodness! One of the GREATEST ERA of Basketball!! 🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
Still watching this in 2023. Legend. 🔥
🔥🔥🔥 There will never be another player like you #1 TMAC Da Don.
T-Mac was just a different type of breed💯🔥
I miss U T-Mac! amazing player.........respect from Italy.
T Mac and his cousin Vince are the two most underrated clutch players ever.
Always added sauce to his game, a legend.
By far my favorite all time player he's the reason I became and love the game of basketball
This video really did it for me!!!!! T-Mac is my favorite player all time!!!! That 13 points in 33 seconds ....... Man I hate how injuries ruined him.
"He could do EVERYTHING I do, but he was longer" -Kobe
aye yooo Pause bro u mean taller
3:35 HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT THIS MAN BROKE KOBES ANKLES
I swear I just paused the video an thought the same thang
Dude, how many times have these people played each other? It doesn't mean shit. Everybody can get faked.
You were all busy watching teletubbies and blues clues while tmac breaking everyones ankles in the nba probably. 2x scoring champ
Yeah the had some beast duels , If you watched the actual game kobe came straight back after that play and dunked on the whole team lol
Kobe damn near broke the rim on the next play lol
This man was the real deal, coming from a Spurs fan 👌👍🔥
J Foxx, giving him props after what he did to your team! That’s what’s up lol
he even was a Spur for a blimp of time.
Really I enjoyed watching highlights of the high flying players like T-Mc
Every time I see Tracy highlights I am ready and willing to see the Spurs highlights over and over again
I jyst got chills! Man what an era!
Prime T-Mac can easily average 35 PPG on today's defense. Dude was balling and competing to be the next MJ with Kobe until he suffered that injury.
He’s his own player
@CeltiKKKs Fan They really are dumb as hell lmao. Every video of a retired star you'll see someone say "in today's game". Tmac would be put out the playoffs the same way he was back then because "in today's game" one man can't beat these teams.
@S Wavey 43% from the field is far from flawless. Tracy mcgrady was a nice player, very raw and well rounded. But don't hype him up to be more than he was. Durability is a huge part of your ability.
I dont know about 35 ppg, maybe it can be done, but youre right about that he can compete with kobe, i think if he didnt suffer his injuries, he can compete for the best player of the 2000s
Mac would bake in any era. His game was as complete as it gets.
Tmac was unreal we'll never see another player like this ever. He was the first player to start throwin it off the backboard to himself in game. He was the hardest player kobe ever had to guard, because he was taller and could do everything kobe could and then some💯💯💯
3:59 look at the bench 🤣 😂
Every time I see that Rocket Houston game I still cant believe it! Mcgrady is a legend!
Im sorry but he broke kobe down Mj style.post up shoulder fake fadaway Damn🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Calvin Pennix
Kobe put the hit out on TMac!
He knew TMac would've made his life hell!
Yeah man Tmac and Kobe had Duels , if you watch the actual Game Kobe comes back straight after that play and dunks on the whole team lol those two brought the best out of each other
Kobe dunked the shit out of it next play. Two hands in traffic i believe
Some of the best battles were between these 2, wow.
He shook the piss outta mamba when that fake tho🤣🔥
Jesus Christ that pass at 0:27 is unreal lol. Just nonchalantly perfectly puts it behind the back and right to his teammate at the basket . So clean.
Brilliant. Made fantastic plays
Damn...this guy’s dunks were so ferocious my goodness🙆🏿♂️ and those skillful blind passes 🙌🏿 he was exceptionally good.
One of my favorite players of all time. So glad I got to see his greatness as a kid.
T Mac is a LEGEND!🔥💯
Incredible Gameplay Incredible Player Incredible Moves will definitely put on a shows why his jersey # is 1 what an extraordinary player
