  • Episode #36: Family Matters - PART 2 of 2: A Deep Dive on T-Mac, Tracy McGrady
    Feb 5 2025

    In a lot of ways, an NBA locker room is like a family. With all the good times, and the bad times, the brotherhood, and the infighting, family is the perfect metaphor.

    But the family dynamic in the NBA often extends to actual family, over 10% of the 4500 players to have ever played in the NBA are directly related either as brothers, as father and son, as cousins, as grandfather and grandson, or as uncle and nephew.

    In many cases, one family member outshines the rest. But occasionally, multiple branches of the same family tree achieve stardom.

    Today, we take the NBA time machine back to the late 90s and 2000s, and explore the lives of two family members who hit the highest echelons of the NBA, but failed to take the final steps into NBA immortality

    Join us in PART 1 OF 2 as we look at the lives and times of two cousins from Flordia who became NBA household names: Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady.

    Today Calvan talks to us about T-Mac. In Part 1 Josh talked about Vince.

    This is once upon a dribble!
