The 7-time NBA All-Star led the league in scoring in back to back seasons in 20 and finished his career with 18,381 Points (19.6 ppg), 5,276 Rebounds (5.6 RPG) and 4,161 Assists (4.4 APG). T-Mac was one of the few players that seemed to find success anywhere and at any time on the court. T-Mac developed into a better player early but due to injuries, lacked the longevity that Kobe has had over the years. They came up together on a similar path, including the adidas ABCD Basketball Camps, which eventually led to both players signing with the Three Stripes. In case you didn’t know, the two have a history. Despite Kobe’s latest opinion on the matter, he once claimed T-Mac was the toughest player he’d ever played against. The purple, yellow, orange, and red are dazzling.Tracy McGrady and his T-Mac sneakers, at one point, were arguably better than Kobe Bryant. The medial side, however, reveals a colorful gradient with an all-over digital “Lesson” print. Viewed from the lateral side, the new T-Mac 3 looks like a relatively plain, Stormtrooper-esque white sneaker. “Lesson 2” showcases McGrady’s broader range of skills, with him assuring anyone worried about young players coming to the NBA without an education that he’ll “take them to school.” In “Lesson 1,” soundtracked by the Clipse and Birdman, McGrady shows off his high-flying dunks that made him one of the most thrilling players of the era and says that it doesn’t matter how many points he scores as long as his team gets the win. It’s the model McGrady famously wore in mismatching red and blue at the 2004 NBA All-Star game - an iconic footwear moment that would inspire countless sneakerheads to copy the look.įor its revival, the T-Mac 3 is being released in a brand new “Lesson” color scheme inspired by McGrady’s Adidas commercials with the same tagline. Arguably the most iconic of Tracy McGrady’s signature line from the early ’00s, the T-Mac 3 is made out of a shiny patent leather split into to distinct halves on the upper. The Adidas T-Mac 3 is returning to stores for the first time in four years.
