    Tracy Mcgrady was on an equal level to Kobe Bryant for about 4 ro 5 years. He is definitely a top 75 player. One of the most impressive players I've seen in the last 25 years. A true superstar.

    Respect to TMac for trying to set a good example for his kids and doing him.
  • @TheSecretGaijin
    I actually gained a lot of respect for T-Mac in this interview after hearing him talk about his tattoos. Everyone on there is trying to pressure him and he stands by what he wants to do and what he believes. It can’t be easy on national TV, being pressured by the likes of Shaquille O’Neal—I have a lot of respect for that—he’s his own person.

    Duncan's 2003 season is one of the greatest of all time.
  • @SparticusHun
    2003 Duncan had one of the best start to finish seasons in NBA history that year. Tmacs my fave player ever, but Duncan deserved the MVP. Start go finish he had one of the top 5 best seasons ever. Also it was the 2003 season we're talking about, Duncan was the only all star. David Robinson was at the end, Tony was a 2nd yesr guy, Manu a rookie. It got so bad for Tony in the playoffs Pop was starting Speed Claxton in playoff games over him
  • @ivanviera4773
    I love the respect Shaq has for Duncan he made everybody better around him.
  • @biganttalks4689
    T-mac should be a regular host he has great energy with the squad
  • @jbuck8040
    Shaq is right. Embiid isn't dominant. He's much more versatile. However, I believe Shaq would son him in the paint. And TMac belongs in the top 75
  • Me and TMac had the exact same reaction to Shaq 🤣🤣 24:40 I'm like "Bro where you going with this
  • @sanjithechef
    Tmac obviously has a bias towards himself lol but it’s fun to listen to the arguments. Tmac had 7 years of 25ppg over his career, he’s definitely got that longevity despite all the injuries / years not given a chance
  • @sensaivers
    "They got a well-oiled machine" "Yeah, Tim Duncan" FACTS lol
  • Shaq was right on the point. Duncan was on another level that year too he definitely was the Spurs and even Parker, Ginobli and Pop all admit there is no championships or the playoffs they might have been close to a 50/50 record but they don't win without Duncan and they aren't Hall of famers without Tim getting doubled constantly and feeding them the ball to give them the chances to develop and get easier shots off to become the players they became. Idc nobody compares to Kobe or even D Wade on his teams, Tim made everyone better and was the anchor for their defense which was always the top of the list as the best defensive team back than and you don't have the best defense without Tim Duncan
  • Two Legends I love both of them!! I played ball on AAU teams and thru middle school high school grew up watching Shaq and TMac Dunkin on homies 🔥🔥🔥🔥#Legend🏀♥️♥
  • @guysharp2402
    TMac was so disgusted when Shaq threatened to take his shoes off 😂😂 “We’ve all seen them bro. We’ve all seen them”
  • @corey2232
    One point Tracy is overlooking is how stacked the West was back then. When the Lakers went on that 3-peat, everyone knew the Western Conference Finals winner was the Finals winner. THAT was the real championship. Facing the East's winner was just a formality. The Pistons bucked that trend at the height of the Shaq/Kobe beef, but ain't no way the Pacers, 76ers, Nets, whoever was going to win a series against the Lakers or Spurs (or even others) at that time. The Magic just making the playoffs in the East was not as impressive as what Duncan did when Manu & Parker were new & Robinson was on his last leg.
  • @ShawnSharma
    Makes you imagine what a Kobe and Shaq podcast would have been like. RIP Mamba 4 Ever
  • 21:14 such an excellent idea from someone who played in the AND1 era that had an impact globally. TMac you have to make this happen big time
  • @TShorty929
    T-Mac & AI made me love the game of basketball. I don't think I can ever skip through a vid of him speaking his mind. Dope vid
