Tracy McGrady accomplished so much during his 16 years playing in the NBA. He was a two-time NBA scoring champion, a seven-time NBA All-Star, was named to an All-NBA team seven times, won the league's Most Improved Player award back in the 2000-01 season, and, most importantly, is a Hall of Famer. There's really only one accolade that McGrady is missing from his NBA resume, and that's a championship. He came close to a title, though, as he was on the 2013 San Antonio Spurs team that lost to LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals in seven games.
Recently, Tracy McGrady hopped on The Pat Bev Podcast and dropped a bold take on how winning a championship would have changed his legacy, per a tweet from Legion Hoops' official Twitter account:
“If I had won a championship, I think my legacy would be a lot different. I don’t know how much of a difference because I’m internationally known. I sell shoes on a global level; I have a brand on a global level.”
