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.

Sure why not? They can call up Iverson to and create a super team of guards who were great 10 years ago but are delusional and washed up now.

A team of current Iverson and T-mac with Kobe would be TV gold.

So, McGrady sees old washed up Kobe get to jack up shots while pretending to still be relevant and McGrady thinks to himself, "That looks like fun, I would like to do that."

Do it, Mitch!

Homeboy must have forgot his career. He was only 28 on the Rockets in 2008 and averaging 21.5ppg on 20 shots. It sucks that his back screwed over his career (and knees by late 20s)...but what has exactly changed from 28 to 35? lol. He was already needing 20 shots to average 21.5 points and he's talking about being a star NOW 7 seasons later...WOW. Then again...needing any nearly as many shots as points you score is this Kobe's coda.

T-Mac always wants to play alongside his BFF.

So, Myth sees hundreds of Kobe haters on ISH talking about Kobe non stop and thinks to himself, "that looks fun, I would like to do that."
