As the daughter of Lawrence Moten I really appreciate you all mentioning him and talking about the legacy he left on college basketball. I love this podcast !
Hearing TMac talk about his grandmother in the present tense is beautiful. To have grey in your beard and one of your grandparents in your life a huge blessing
TMAC is so underrated. This dude reached his prime at 23 years old and was a superstar at age 21-24. Just imagine what his career could have looked like without injuries. Kevin Durant even modelled his game after him.
Y’all the GOATs for this one. Never fail to bring us all the greatest players of all time season after season. I would absolutely love to see Brandon Roy on here. Been waiting for years, hoping to see it pop up soon.
@@pericopinero1035 What’s crazy is TMac wanted to take the playmaker role if he was able to sign to Lakers with Kobe and Shaq However, if you remember correctly, he left the work opportunity with VC to spread his wings
Man… Q & DMiles, Y’all are the truth for this. So real and authentic, absolutely love y’all interviews. TMac should’ve DEFINITELY been in the top 75 but I digress. Keep ‘em coming
I always like to hear these HS stories compared to them in the league. Having D Miles and Q being at them camps with these guys and now interviewing them is dope.
I was at ABCD camp and witnessed McGrady's coming out party.He was such a late addition his name wasn't even listed in the program with the list of players.#175 was his number.He did work all week.Those that were still in doubt were totally convinced when he WINDMILLED on 6'10 James Felton in the senior all star game.Coaches threw their papers up in the air and the game was stopped for about 4 minutes because of all the excitement.I NEVER forgot that week.One of the most memorable weeks in ABCD camp history Then OJ Mayo head to head against Lance Stephenson was another.And the MOST memorable Lenny Cooke vs LeBron James.. .killed Lenny 4ever.

@@DVitamin3 T- Mac was more Skilled & more Individual Accolades than both of them..all deserve to be on the list tho..even Dikembe, Grant Hill & Mourning
T-Mac was my first favorite player now he #2 behind Joe Johnson(who I’ve been waiting for y’all to have on the podcast forever lol). RIP Kobe but I remember watching T-Mac give mamba the blues, T-Mac was averaging 30 while the league was still big on defense 💯💯💯💯
T-Mac being one of favorite players, This by far is one of my favorite episodes thus far ..I would've of loved if yall had asked him to tell/share at least one Kobe Bryant's story.. seeing how they were so close ...but other then that Phenomenal Interview fellas
Love T-Mac! One of my all time favorites. Prime Mac was one of the best to ever lace ‘em up. Doesn’t have the resume or longevity, but there were a couple of years there where Mac was 1&2 with Kobe. Also, I need one of them Knuckleheads hats asap!
He left it all on the line dragging Orlando to playoffs by his self multiple times by the time he got to Houston his body was falling apart he maybe 1 and half good seasons in Houston and Yao’s body had already started to betray him plus people forget he spent almost 3 years in Toronto. I also believe coming out of HS he never learned how to properly condition his body like Kobe
@@evanspencer2605 You made some good points there Evan.When T-Mac played for Orlando I thought he was better than Kobe at that time.Better offensively.T-Mac back then was all that and a bag of chips !!! LOL.
I love how,and this is the reason I love Q and Dmiles is every episode or when we see dmiles and a on other shows They still have a passion for the “Game”.
Oh man! That's what I'm talking about. So many give props to T-Mac as inspiration.....waaaaay ahead of his time! Of course, his length and style were so unique, but I luv that he continued to mention how he WORKED.
Man T Mac was a bad boy I never forget me and my boys on the bball team bought his shoes when they came out and he did that off the backboard to himself dunk he changed the game !!
I remember living in Orlando, Florida back in the days when T-Mac was on the team. There was this nightclub called Antigua's or some shit like that... I remember walking in and seeing ya boy T-Mac chillin' in his personal VIP section and man I'll tell you that was the first time I seen someone light a club up the jewelry around his neck. 🥶 That shit was twinkling and glistening 😆
This was a really good interview. Miles did an amazing job. And it was good to see tmac open all the way up for once. Respect. I felt his pain cuz dude was about to be top 10 before injuries.
Personal Development vs Coach’s determined role is the detriment of most talent progression. I grew up in an area where anybody 6’2” or taller HAD TO work in the post first. Great foundation, but some guys never developed their perimeter game until it was too late/ never at all
Man, this was great. Tmac was the first sports star i idolized. I had all the shoes, clothes. Man, they guy doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Straight Killer.
Man, just watched this whole episode. Literally, this was amazing. At one point, T-MAC was all I wanted to see when he was on Houston with Yao. Huge shoutout to you guys (Q and D-Miles) for this one. Basketball was at a milestone point back when y'all took the courts. Nostalgia is all over this episode, for sure.
My favorite perimeter scorer as a kid. I didn’t appreciate Kobe and Vince until 06-07, but T Mac’s pull-up was mesmerizing, combined with being the first 6-8/6-9 guy with speed and handle that I could remember watching live Always dreamed of being 6’8”-6’11” lol
T Mac gave people that Work, Very exciting to Watch. I thought him and G hill were going to be a special tandem in Orlando, Hell yes lawrence Moten was a bucket frfr ...Great episode #Dantana773
When people talk about athletes and put them down.....I love that these guys have platforms to show the truth.....all these guys are quality people.....family people.....love their country etc.
Q & D, Thank you both for bringing on one of many NBA players that I enjoy watching in the 2000s era......You both did great on sharing stories and interviewing T-Mac....Glad to hear about his OBL and how well it is doing in the basketball scene.
Damn the record, 2002-2003 my fav nba season and I'm from Cleveland. I got to see all 3 of these guys play. T-Mac scored 21 in the 1st in one game I was at, and I got to see D Miles beat Q in another.
TMac been one of my favorites since he started doing the self alley oops!! him VC and Iggy were my favorite SFs growing up..also, Q a fool for starting it off “indoor pools, outdoor pools”😂😂😭😭😂😭
Shout out to you guys, you have no idea tmac is my all time favorite player. Got the tmac 1s 2,3,4 all his shoes. Copied the way he played, so much memories
This podcast is the best ever as far as basketball stories coming from legends Would love to see Mugsy Boges on here that would be a legendary interview
That’s why back in the days everything was better. The stories and the word of mouth made guys seem bigger then life. I was in NY when Vince came to the Rucker it rained and it was in the gauchos gym in the Bronx. He caught the windmill oop. that was legendary it was talked about for years but if you wasn’t there the story grew bigger and bigger. Until you saw it on a mic tape.
Awesome interview my third fav player all time behind Ewing and AI. Wish he was a Knick early in his career appreciate u donning the Orange and Blue also Q Rich keep up the good work
As the daughter of Lawrence Moten I really appreciate you all mentioning him and talking about the legacy he left on college basketball. I love this podcast !
Q
i was a big fan of his too. he had mad style with the long socks and his game!
Elimo Nelson from my highschool MILTON HIGH MASS...Played with your father at Syracuse.....Those High Socks were legendary...Game to match.
When I was younger I loved watching your father play when he was in college when he played for Syracuse. Very smooth yet aggressive game.
Lawrence Moten was a dawg!
Hearing TMac talk about his grandmother in the present tense is beautiful. To have grey in your beard and one of your grandparents in your life a huge blessing

Amen to that God is good
And for them to be of sound mind 🙏🏾
Facts!
TMAC is so underrated. This dude reached his prime at 23 years old and was a superstar at age 21-24. Just imagine what his career could have looked like without injuries. Kevin Durant even modelled his game after him.
Y’all the GOATs for this one. Never fail to bring us all the greatest players of all time season after season. I would absolutely love to see Brandon Roy on here. Been waiting for years, hoping to see it pop up soon.
Yes! Brandon Roy !
That’d be awesome
Second favorite player after tmac he was a baller ,but career cut short asf.
Heck yeah b Roy , he’s a pretty good interview to
Y'all check out Michael Porter Jrs pod? B- Roy coached him or something and is on it ;)
TMac kept Kobe on his toes. His very existence in the league pushed him to be even greater.
😂
Stop glazing Kobe ffs enjoy T Mac
41:05 the way T-Mac says yeah when Jerry Stackhouse had to go after VC had me crackin up 🤣🤣🤣
Yeuhh
@@tommystockwell3589 this is perfect 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll never get tired of hearing about the late 90s/early 2000s superstars talk about their high school years and those camps they went to.
All the different perspectives are so interesting
damn T-Mac in blue makes the kid in me all giddy inside . Definitely one of the Goats in his era.
Factss.
What are we eatin' tonight?
- DMiles in the third quarter
Had me in tears!!!!
Allan Houston comes up a lot in these interviews, would be a great guest!
That dude is so underrated its unbelievable!💯
He was a monster
Watched him in high school, helluva player reppin my hometown, 1st person my city to sign $100m contract
Allan Houston was a bum .
He made 2 all star games and what else 🤔🤫
@@Malaki727 he definitely wasn't a bum... 2 all stars is great ... I'm a sixers fan and hated him bc he used to kill us
🔥🔥🔥 T-Mac was a humble superstar. One of my favorite players
Majorrr Factsss💯
Best part of Knuckleheads is learning that while I always loved the player, I now love the man. So many examples. Tracy is definitely one of them.
We were deprived of a potential shaq and Kobe vs Duncan and T-Mac finals 😳 thanks a lot doc lol
Or a Shaq and Kobe vs Vince and TMac
Would of been crazy
They’d cancel each other out. That finals would be decided by glue guys and role players. 3rd to 15th man lol
@@pericopinero1035 What’s crazy is TMac wanted to take the playmaker role if he was able to sign to Lakers with Kobe and Shaq
However, if you remember correctly, he left the work opportunity with VC to spread his wings
@@michaelbonhomme3677 huh, if I read the post correctly, he was referring to Tim Duncan joining the Magic with T-Mac
Man… Q & DMiles, Y’all are the truth for this. So real and authentic, absolutely love y’all interviews. TMac should’ve DEFINITELY been in the top 75 but I digress. Keep ‘em coming
Amen 🙏🏾 💙
I'll take T-MAC over Dolph Schayes anyday! 😂
T-Mac is definitely not top 75 probably 100. Man was cold though.
@@KMas89 That’s fair… But Harden made it. Do you think He’s top 75 ALL time??
@@Nsuave11 you right I’m taking Mac of James harden any day of the week hands down
I always like to hear these HS stories compared to them in the league. Having D Miles and Q being at them camps with these guys and now interviewing them is dope.
T MAC I'll never forget what he did in the NBA off the back board and what he did to the spurs less than a minute
that spurs game brings me nightmares coming from a spurs fan
I'll never forget when he told a reporter that his own team, the Rockets didn't have a chance in the playoffs against the Lakers. Lost all respect

I thought I was the only person who uses blues like that in my lingo, good shit.

T-Mac was my favorite player growing up. I'm happy you guys finally got around to interviewing him.

If this man wouldn't got hurt and stayed healthy that GOAT argument may have been a little different. Real talk

Man one of the craziest things in high school was finding out that T-Mac and Vince were cousins 🤯. Just took their appeal to another level
Q and D-Miles never fail to impress. Waiting for the 5'9 and under to get their due. Muggsy and Spud Webb were nothing to mess with
You mind if I throw Earl Boykins in there

Tracy McGrady is always a great interview and a great story teller! Very eloquent as well.

I remember hoopin in those red and black tmacs man those were some of my fav shoes. First pair I was ever able to treat as solely a basketball shoe.
That’s why back in the days everything was better. The stories and the word of mouth made guys seem bigger then life. I was in NY when Vince came to the Rucker it rained and it was in the gauchos gym in the Bronx. He caught the windmill oop. that was legendary it was talked about for years but if you wasn’t there the story grew bigger and bigger. Until you saw it on a mic tape.
