    Roastadaday: Tracy McGrady Hung By The Rim

    Where waning athleticism happens.

    Tracy McGrady would like to quickly forget last night’s 112-124 loss to the crippled Bucks. His stat line went something like this: 25 minutes, 1-9 FG, 3 fouls, 3 points and 1 extra-ugly dunk attempt. In one highlight package, Ron Artest, Von Wafer and the rest of the Rockets bench were shown laughing at their teammate getting hung. Not a good night when Yao out-hops you.

    • Myk Posted: Feb.10 at 10:19 am
      interesting. why no stare-down today, tracy?

    • John Posted: Feb.10 at 10:47 am
      he has a bum knee right now and is operating at less than 100% why bother putting this up

    • J.Deneer Posted: Feb.10 at 10:52 am
      This makes me sad. In fact I did this exact thing last night, not sad anymore.

    • riggs Posted: Feb.10 at 10:58 am
      no wonder my brother was laughing so hard

    • Erik Posted: Feb.10 at 10:58 am
      damn, im from orlando, i still remember his MAGIC days, an to watch that highlight is sad. I know hes injured but he really looked bad. makes me wonder why he did not use his head an realize his body cant do what he wants it to do, an just lay i up……. i think his scream while he gets hung is kinda funny though

      T-Mac is 29 going on 45

    • kev Posted: Feb.10 at 11:07 am
      shut it down for the rest of the season, hit the weights and get healthy buddy

    • Joe Posted: Feb.10 at 11:23 am
      Who cares if he missed the dunk and got hung, all that truly matters is that he got the steal, because Defense wins championships…Right?

    • Young Chris MP3 Posted: Feb.10 at 11:26 am
      How the mighty have fallen…

    • niQ Posted: Feb.10 at 11:47 am
      this is why they say the lay-up is the highest percentage shot. t-mac if your knee is still injured then just lay it up.

    • Ryan Jones Posted: Feb.10 at 11:58 am
      adidas made these dope caricature shirts after Mac did that alley-oop-to-self at the 02 ASG. I had one and wore it proudly. Hard to fathom that this is the same dude.

      Sad to see how far TMac’s regressed since leaving Orlando. He couldn’t even get the ball above the rim.

    • RV Posted: Feb.10 at 12:23 pm
      This is exactly why Ron is correct in speaking out. And Ron looks like the only one laughing..i feeel sorry for Barry.

    • MeloMan13 Posted: Feb.10 at 12:54 pm
      this is real sad. i hate to say it but leaving the Raptors started this Karma

    • Holy Baller Posted: Feb.10 at 1:05 pm
      This has to be the second worst dunk attempt I’ve ever seen behind the dude from Kansas last year. Or was it the year before? Idr, but that attempt was just pathetic. Hurt or not hurt, you gotta either lay it up or dunk it, and that was nowhere near either one.

    • Tarzan Cooper Posted: Feb.10 at 1:45 pm
      he has actually turned into the grant hill that arrived in orlando. damn.

    • Kevin Wilson Posted: Feb.10 at 3:16 pm
      The best part of that video, Ryan, was the old NBA on NBC theme. I assume I’m not the only one who has it on his MP3 player.

    • The other Mike Posted: Feb.10 at 3:34 pm
      I blame T-Mac for missing that dunk

    • bbaby Posted: Feb.10 at 3:57 pm
      This can’t be the same T-Mac that destroyed Shawn Bradley.

    • ciolkstar Posted: Feb.10 at 4:03 pm
      ^Its not. That was SO weak. RIP TMac.

      Ouch.

    • the baconator Posted: Feb.10 at 5:28 pm
      T-Mac, I used to love watching you play. Now, your game has become a joke because of injuries and old age. Please, retire before you become anymore disgraced. Better to leave now while you’re still respected then when more of this happens.

    • Young Chris MP3 Posted: Feb.10 at 5:33 pm
      The sad part is, I don’t think he’s even 30 yet…

    • Cub Buenning Posted: Feb.10 at 5:42 pm
      Getting hung is brutal at the local rec center for us 30-something tall-guys. I can’t imagine what it is like for an NBA star.

    • Moose Posted: Feb.10 at 6:34 pm
      That was embarrassing. For him, for us, for the League. Well, the league doesn’t give a rip. They care about the money. But that’s for a whole ‘nother day…..

    • iLL wiLL Posted: Feb.10 at 6:57 pm
      Damn. Dude needs to sit this season out and come back next season. This is utterly embarrassing.

    • Zee! Posted: Feb.10 at 7:05 pm
      Remmeber the T-Mac Addidas commercial with “What happened to that boy” playing in the background? Eerie how that applies in a different way now.

    • jaymes Posted: Feb.10 at 7:19 pm
      Great clip..Sporting Adidas’ new Concret shoes i see..

    • jaymes Posted: Feb.10 at 7:20 pm
      *concrete*

    • MalevolentKing7242 Posted: Feb.10 at 10:06 pm
      Is he really 29?! I would have guessed a 34 year old trying to regain some luster. O wall I still love ya TMac

    • jumpman2323 Posted: Feb.10 at 10:12 pm
      HAHAHAHA oh my god that was beautiful

    • albie1kenobi Posted: Feb.10 at 10:37 pm

    • Brian Posted: Feb.10 at 11:12 pm

    • slamfan4life Posted: Feb.11 at 7:46 am
      well….he dunked on TT

    • NijaLaker Posted: Feb.11 at 9:36 am
      The primal scream, the idiotic foul and the chest slapping is all too much.
      Would have been so funny if not damn pathetic

    • [...] Yesterday, Tracy McGrady underwent an MRI on his gimpy knee for the umpteenth time this season. The good news, I guess, is that the status of his knee remains unchanged. That is to say, it’s still a mess - as we’ve all clearly seen. [...]

    • Fred34 Posted: Feb.12 at 11:31 am
      Word to the wise: Don’t get old.

    • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Feb.12 at 12:36 pm
      Best of luck to T-Mac.

    • Rnz Posted: May.26 at 7:15 am
      Saddest thing to see from a dude who could do a self alley oop
