That t-mac forever vid did something to me. Always sad to see those players who were the cornerstones of the league have to move on. A.I. and T-Mac were everything to me growing up. Tracy Mcgrady is a one of the best to ever do it. In my opinion he's a shoe in for the hall of fame. Chris Mullin for example, made the hall of fame and had no rings, was a 5 time all star with a 18 point per game avg. And shoutout Kobe, nash, etc for being the last ones standing.

I should be thanking him for allowing me to see him play. Awesome, exciting come to mind. I hate it didn't happen for him with the Bulls the first time around.

I think it would be dope if he did get in but people still hang it over his head that he never got out of the 1st rd. Maybe in a few years they'll fall back.

Man say it again. This is EXACTLY verbatim how I respond when people question whether or not he'll get into the Hall.
And that's not to say Mullin wasn't a good player.

Its really quite sad to see the players we idolized retire. AI, now TMac.
Such a great player early 2000... Especially with the Magic, the dude was one of the top players in the league. Was so much fun to watch him play, could score at will. Sad to see him go, but also glad to see him be quite accepting to the next stage in his life.
Also, hilarious that there is no shout out to Vince. First thing I noticed in his letter.
Tough but we are going to see more of these in the next few years, and will be difficult for us people who are getting "older". TMac's career is definitely appreciated.

Without TMAC and DeMarr Johnson, there wouldn't be any KD.

I rocked them T-Mac's in middle school whether they matched what I was wearing or not
I hated dude when he went to the rockets & started flexing against My Mavs doeee. Great ball player, crazy how injuries can truly kill your career.

One of the smoothest players on court - So versatile in the scoring category. Had the mad handlez in 7th grade
The dunk on Bradley :x - Many thanks for all the seasons.

you know you're getting old when players you looked up to when you were in HS are now retiring/moving on
regardless, thanks TMAC
Kevin Garnett, Jason Kidd, and Grant Hill on they way out too

he may not explode like he used or as much but he still can and more importantly, hes still relatively healthy
his athleticism at this point is still probably better than 80-90 percent of the league
