Tracy McGrady Says He Has Hall of Fame Numbers


Almost immediately after announcing his retirement from the NBA on Monday, the debate about Tracy McGrady’s Hall of Fame candidacy began. T-Mac says he has the credentials to make it into Springfield, but he’s not really sweating it. Per CSN Houston: “I think my numbers match up with some of the guys that are in the Hall of Fame. Whether or not I get in or not, it really doesn’t matter to me. I’m a guy from Auburndale, Florida (with) a population of 10,000 people, grew up in a pretty bad neighborhood, so to me, I’m Hall of Fame just by making it through my career. That’s Hall of Fame to me.’ McGrady also talked about how he’s leaving the door open for more basketball, saying there’s no question he can still contribute. ‘I’m retiring from the NBA,’ McGrady said. ‘My options are still open – going back to China. I mean, my brand is so huge over there, so I might continue to expand on that.’ Over his 15-year NBA career, McGrady averaged 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists.”


yo t-mac welcome back (again) to china :smokin hall of fame or not you still one of the best scorer in NBA history
 
That comment about the multi quote thing :lol

He does have HoF numbers anyone can see that his career us one where the averages can not be used as a basis for judgment

Kinda weird how his Tracy's cousin Vince Carter had a longer NBA career than him. Vince had already played in 129 games more than Tracy.
Also all his career averages are higher :x.
Dude avoided any major injuries, yet I never heard anyone mention Vince in a conversation for the last 5-6 years.

Serious? I've been saying that Vince Carter is a HoF player for months on here.


Hall of Fames will get devalued over time becuase there is no limit on how many people can get in. If there was it would exlcude some people who dont really deserve to be there but will get in, for example Vince Carter. Everyone who is in the top 30 in scoring is in the HoF and Vince Carter is in the top 30. Theyre going to send him by virtue of that alone, but if there was a number limit, then he would be excluded.

No player whos is top 30 in scoring is not in the HoF or a lock for the hall. By virtue of that stat he should go.

Don't forget the social significance of Webber's college team

Yup. They changed the landscape of college hoops. To this day, I don't own a pair of white socks. It's because of them.


I think Webber eventually gets in...not on his first year of elgibility, but eventually. . Putting himself out there with the media in his post-playing career will help his cause as well.

Thats awesome

Actually I don't think Vince Carter is either
Nah B. Vince is going in whether anyone likes it or not


There are players who aren't nearly as good as Webber in the Hall. He'll get in eventually.

Who are the HOFers not as good as Webber?
We can name a bunch of people. If we just started leaning towards the people who are in the hall solely becuase of their college careers while their NBA careers werent that impressive like Bill Bradley then we can at least bring up 6 names.

Apparently he used the Clippers name "for his own personal gain" or something like that. He was never under Clippers payroll so they couldnt fire him.

Statement from the organization:

In a conversation with an authoritative and tenured Clippers’ executive last week, he was asked again to either consult with the team on all public appearances and/or commercial ventures, or stop undertaking those opportunities representing himself inappropriately. His response was an offer to stop representing himself commercially in that way and his offer was accepted in principle.

The next thing we heard was the baseless claims he has made today and the ensuing media rush to judgment.
We hold all of our fans in the highest esteem and we have been patient and generous with Mr. Bailey. He has not returned our support in an honorable way. He is not actually a fan of the Clippers, but a fan of what he can make off of the Clippers. We are no longer interested in that kind of association with him, and that is why we accepted his offer to remove our team name from his stage name.”

...And then they went ahead and welcomed him back. I mean you'd think Sterling would appreciate a mascot he didn't even have to pay for.

Anyway I've never been more uncomfortable in my life than when I caught this interview on TV:

I don't own any other colored sock other than black, because of the Fab Five too
 
I still don't see Vic as a combo guard so no Russ comparisons but look for more hyperbole from me all season :hat

There should be a thread about nothing thread in the sports/training section.

Where all the who deserves to be in HOF, Player A > Player B, etc talk goes.

Worse than anything ColdCity ever said...
And I'd quickly sa it again, in case you didn't read it correctly. "Oladipo can be similar to Westbrook. Kid can be next up".

Hope u heard (read) it loud and clear this time.

Similiar in what ways?

His ability to run the point (probably not)

His outside shooting (probably not)

His ball handling (probably not)

Passing ability (probably not)

but in your defense, they are both black, over 6'3, but under 6'6, and they both play basketball.

i always wondered how eric gordon could both be a player and a mascot at the same time


I've said it before and I'll say it again. The wrong Spurs homer was banned.


I'd much ratcher have Do be doo than this guy.

never come back


Do you purposely NOT use the multi quote option? If so why?

Do you have some type of renegade agenda against it or are you just trying to get your stats up?

Serious questions.

THANK YOU
