Gilbert Arenas interview bought me back here!!!!

Growing up in Uganda, ball wasn't as huge as football aka soccer(mostly English premier league) and most people only knew the Lakers and the Bulls. I knew about McGrady in Prison Break (Sona) and wondered why the kid in prison idolized him. That was like 5 years ago when I saw that episode and this the first time I decided to look him up. Man, was he a smooth operator!🔥🙌🏾

T-Mac, in his best years only shot 45.7 and 45.1 % from the field. During the season this game was from he only shot 41.7% from the field. He averaged 43.5 % for his career. Jordan shot 49.7% for his career and the only seasons he shot as bad as McGrady was the year he came back from basketball for those 17 games and when he was on the Wizards at age 38-40. McGrady was great when he was on a hot streak but he was very much a volume scorer and was never at any season in his career as efficient and deadly as Jordan was during 10 seasons. McGrady was stopped by the rim far more than half the time.

T-Mac is like a better version of Paul George on the offensive end. Had a ton of potential to be great. Unfortunately I’ve heard he didn’t have the best work ethic, got injured, and the best player he played with was Yao Ming. Crazy that he never even won a playoff series.

@davidng8870

Well he played with Vince also and it wasn’t like Yao was a scrub. Tbh when they were together I would say Mac underperformed rather than Yao for the most part. Maybe his teammates explain why he didn’t win a chip but not getting out of the first round is on him imo. Not like PG had a lot of help in Indy either
