A few days ago I posted a video of 36 year old Tracy McGrady showing off his signature behind-the-back turnaround jumper while playing pick-up basketball and I said "T-Mac has still got it."

On?Friday night, T-Mac scored a team-high 18 points for the winning Canada team in?the NBA Celebrity game but showed he has a little rust on him and doesn't still "got it" in the hops department. Early on in the first quarter, T-Mac tried to recreate his famous off-the-backboard dunk from the 2002 NBA All-Star game and ended up doing a finger roll.

Then in the 2nd quarter, the 6'8 former All-Star had the opportunity to post up against 5'3 51 year old Muggsy Bogues and maybe pull off his signature turnaround jumper...

Also in the 2nd quarter, T-Mac got an earful from 5'4 Kevin Hart after shooting a wide-open airball.

All jokes aside, it was great to see T-Mac back at All-Star weekend; It's been 9 years since his last appearance and hopefully this fun game will convince him to become a part of the weekend?festivities every year from this point on.

The NBA just has to make sure the future games are in a warmer city.

A couple of months after a devastating finals loss in the 2013 NBA Finals, Tracy McGrady announced that he was retiring from the NBA?during an episode of ESPN's First Take.

"It's been 16 years playing the game I love. I've had a great run but it's time for it to come to an end," said the 34 year old 7 x All-Star.

But it wasn't the end of his playing days - just his NBA days.

After a brief stint playing baseball with the Sugarland Skeeters, McGrady returned to China in 2014 with the USA Legends tour and gave the fans a show which ended with a game-winning 3.

In the summer of 2015, McGrady decided to give his fans in China one last show and to go out on a high note by having a farewell tour. McGrady played well - often scoring over 20 points a game - during the tour and his team finished with a perfrect 12-0 record. ?At the end of tour, his jersey was retired during an emotional ceremony dedicated to one of the best scorers in basketball history.

It may not be the Cinderella ending that would have came from winning a NBA champion but in terms of honoring the individual, this is a pretty great storybook ending.

Retired basketball and baseball player Tracy McGrady was in Nanjing, China this week, playing with an All-Star team and showing he still has one deadly jumper on his way to 18 points.

Despite looking a few pounds heavier since his NBA days, T-Mac looks like and is treated like a legend in China. For the past few years, McGrady has been making visits to China as either a player for the Qingdao Eagles, the Ball Up Streetball Team or with the USA Legends. Last October, he made some noise when he hit a game-winner with the Legends team.

McGrady also attended a press conference this week wearing a pretty cool tribute to his 13 points in 35 seconds game vs the Spurs.

But then there’s Tracy McGrady in 2004 where he drops 13 points in the last 35 seconds to come back and beat the San Antonio Spurs. T-Mac came through hitting contested jumpers left and right and even making a 4-point play willing his team to a victory. The Spurs even made a few free throws down the stretch to keep their lead. Then, when Devin Brown lost the ball with 8 seconds left, you had to think T-Mac could do it, and he did by hitting another 3 with 1.7 seconds left and winning the game. It was an incredible comeback that most people still don’t know about. T-Mac single-handedly brought the Rockets back and won that game. It was one of the craziest things I've seen live.

Here’s the drawbacks about the two comeback victories by Reggie Miller and Tracy McGrady. Although Reggie’s back to back 3s were impressive, the fact that the Pacers fouled after that all happened with the game tied, it could have made it the best last minute comeback that never happened. Instead, John Starks choked and missed both FT’s, and the Knicks fouled Reggie after the missed free throw with the game tied. Two dumb plays down the stretch lead to Reggie Miller’s 8 points in 9 seconds and the eventual comeback victory. On the other side, Tracy McGrady’s last minute comeback came during a regular season game in December. Other than it being a win against a strong Spurs team, and it didn’t mean much. That’s why it probably doesn’t get as much hype as Reggie Miller’s. And without Devin Brown’s slip, T-Mac doesn’t get the chance to win the game. But sometimes, stuff happens, and sometimes it leads to two of the greatest lat minute comeback victories.

What do you think? T-Mac's 13 in 35 or Reggie's 8 in 9?
