Tracy McGrady has not played an NBA game since Dec. 23 and his debut with the Knicks marked just his seventh this season.
However, judging by his stat line of 26 points on 10 of 17 shooting, 5 assists and 4 rebounds you would have never noticed his long absence. He looked every bit like the guy that’s been a seven-time All-star and two-time NBA scoring champ. Playing nearly as many minutes in the game (32) as he had all season with the Rockets (35).
Acquired Thursday on the last day of the NBA trade deadline in a three-team deal involving New York, Houston and Sacramento. McGrady is still recovering from knee surgery and says he ‘s “definitely not 100 percent.”
But yesterday, the Jay-Z guest shot lyrics from the What We Do track, “Bang like T-Mac” was relevant all over again — MENG!
