Tracy McGrady underlines how Kobe Bryant helped Shaquille O’Neal win 2000 NBA championship: “I was like this mf arrived”

Tracy McGrady recently disregarded the narrative that Kobe Bryant was just the second option or Shaquille O’Neal’s sidekick during the LA Lakers’ three-peat run. McGrady pointed to a specific moment from the 2000 NBA Finals.

“When I’m watching the NBA Finals and Shaq fouls out of that game, and Kobe took over, I’m running around my house going crazy watching my dude take over this game,” McGrady said on Wednesday, via “Gil’s Arena.” “That’s when I was like this motherf***er arrived, he is that dude.

“So when I’m watching him at that time, I’m not looking at him to be a sidekick or a second option. I’m looking at him like he’s that dude.”
