Attention to Detail: Tracy McGrady

  • Tracy McGrady was like a lightning strike to the NBA. For six or seven years, he absolutely dominated the league. Then, due to a string of injuries, he sort of faded away before many could recognize his greatness on the scale of Kobe, AI, etc. Check out here how he killed the entire NBA during that time period, and for our theories on why he got injured, check out this video: • Video

    Great analysis as usual. Question, have you've noticed the difference in the play styles of these players as they age ? I would like to see something that compares or shows what changes a player would make as they aged or came back from a serious injury but still remained successful. Like how explosive Wade was in the beginning to the more calculated and efficient scorer he is now. I think that would be interesting, what you think about that?

      it's like a good TE playing receiver against zone coverage. slow and big but if he know how to play his position right fundamentally, and his body size physical attributes he can still make receiving plays oddly and weirdly enough like jason witten and obvi gronkowski and others. i think it's similar for players in basketball nba like pierce or even any player with good handles and ball security like curry or harden

    I think it'd be beneficial to clarify what you mean when you talk about defenders' body/foot positions because I know I am one to take what you say too literally sometimes and if I didn't know better, I'd literally be looking at defenders' feet when I play. You could just talk about how defenders are shading you (soccer term), meaning which direction they want you to go, and whether or not they're not doing it well so you can exploit it.
    Great vid as always.

    • @ygk6279

      I know I'm late but the reason of his injury is because Orlando overwork him. He had a little injury at first so he didn't play many games, but the Magic let him play the ASG which made his case even worse. He needed rest, but Orlando made a really bad move 🤷🏽‍♂️

    We have to admit that T-Mac has solid fundamentals. But it seems that his type of skills is somehow unlikely to be duplicated via hard work, for example, his smoothness and his rhythm: his skills look so natural that you may not believe he acquires them from diligent practice. Probably, is that what we called talent?

    also i like to say that tmac had what i call "functional flair" he didnt waste motion and any flashy move he did served a purpose he never over dribbled and his moves always led somewhere. never did something just to it but had an end goal in mind. nowadays a lot of guys just have a skills trainer template of dribble moves that go absolutely nowhere and just burn clock and get their teams out of rhythm, if mcgrady made a flashy move it was done with purpose

    Seems to me mostly bad examples. Watch carefully you will see how even after all these amazing moves and fantastic techniques T-Mac still having to make very contested shots and facing multiple defenders. If it were an average player, even with the same moves he will still end up with rather ugly shooting percentages. Shooting while someone right in your face or driving through the traffic and magically finger rolling basket while six hands trying blocking your shot is a talent. It is what makes Players like Kobe and T-mac special
