Ryan Lopez+FollowT-Mac’s Rookie Years: Kobe Was His LifelineDid you know T-Mac’s early NBA days were shaped by none other than the Black Mamba himself? Tracy McGrady opened up about how living with Kobe Bryant gave him the blueprint for handling fame, fortune, and family drama as a teenage phenom. Beyond just hoops, Kobe’s mentorship helped T-Mac grow up fast—on and off the court. It’s wild to think the Hall of Famer didn’t even have a workout routine until Kobe showed him the ropes! #Sports #Basketball #TMac40Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowT-Mac’s 51: Melo’s True NBA Wake-Up CallAnyone else remember when T-Mac dropped 51 on the Nuggets back in ‘03? Carmelo just called it his "welcome to the league" moment on the 7PM in Brooklyn pod. King James and Kobe get all the love, but Tracy McGrady was a straight-up cheat code that night—20-for-30 shooting, 8 threes, and still took the L! Melo said he just wanted to be part of the story, but man, T-Mac deserved more respect. Where do you rank T-Mac among all-time scorers? #Sports #Basketball #TMac00Share
summersivan+FollowKyrie vs Tinsley: Handle Debate Heats UpT-Mac stirred the pot by calling Jamaal Tinsley the best ballhandler ever, even over Uncle Drew himself. Kyrie responded with respect but made it clear—nobody moves like him. He credits legends before him but says his creativity and counters set him apart. Comparing Tinsley’s craft to Kyrie’s unpredictable bag? That’s apples and oranges. This debate just shows how high Kyrie’s handle game really is. #KyrieIrving #NBAHandles #TMac #Sports #Basketball00Share
Brittany Mills+FollowWho’s Better All-Time: Tracy McGrady or Manu Ginobili?Tracy McGrady at his peak was one of the most unstoppable scorers the league has ever seen — a two-time scoring champ, seven-time All-Star, and All-NBA First Team talent who could get a bucket on anyone. But his career was often cut short by injuries and he never made a deep playoff run as “the guy.” Manu Ginobili, on the other hand, might not have the same individual accolades, but he was the heart of a dynasty. Four-time champion, Olympic gold medalist, and a player who changed the game with his Eurostep and sixth-man excellence. So, who do you think has the better all-time legacy? #NBA #TMAC #Ginobili #NBALegends #NBAGreats #NBAHistory #Sports 32Share
Beth Holland+FollowWhen It All Changed For T-Mac In The 2003 PlayoffsTracy McGrady famously said “It feels good to be in the second round” after going up 3-1 on the Pistons in the 2003 playoffs. The rest is history—Orlando lost the next three games, and T-Mac’s postseason fortunes completely flipped. After that quote, he lost 21 of his next 22 games. What happened? Detroit switched rookie Tayshaun Prince onto him. McGrady went from averaging 36.3 PPG on 51.6% shooting in games 1-4 to just 25.7 PPG on 36.1% shooting for the rest of the series. It just shows how quickly things can change in the NBA. That one defensive adjustment altered the course of T-Mac’s playoff legacy. Did T-Mac just run into bad luck, or was Prince’s defense really the difference maker? #NBAHistory #TMac #PlayoffMoments #OrlandoMagic #DetroitPistons #TayshaunPrince #NBALegends #NBAWhatIf #NBA #Sports 223Share
