Following his first NBA Finals appearance of his career in 2013, former NBA superstar Tracy McGrady retired from the NBA and took up minor league baseball briefly. With that short career over and that hunger satiated, feelings about McGrady wanting to still play in the NBA still linger. He's been an All-Star, an All-NBA player, a superstar, one of the most marketable players of his era, and an MVP candidate. He was one of the most talented offensive players to ever lace up his sneakers.
McGrady is just 35 years old, but hasn't played much in the past few years due to various knee and back ailments that come from a professional basketball career that was tough on his body. And yet, T-Mac believes he can still play in the NBA. In an excellent long-form piece on Bleacher Report by Les Carpenter, McGrady says he can still play but doesn't want restrictions on the type of player he's allowed to be. He also says he'd love to play next to Kobe Bryant on the Los Angeles Lakers as their second star.
"The thing is, I can still go, man," T-Mac says. He is driving from lunch to his daughter Layla's junior high school volleyball game, but the workout is still on his mind.
"My body is still in shape. I can go. It's about opportunity, though.
