Well, I don't know if uh you can stay out of this one, but uh T Mac, our good friend of the show, Tracy McGrady, just responded to something that uh OP said on our last fast break show. So uh let's get into it. You guys good with that? I'm uh you know I'm good with it. All right, welcome back to another episode of Byron Scott's Fast Break. I am Jay Wagers. That's the coach, Mr. Byron Scott's OP, 15-year NBA vet. He's back in the building. We're gonna talk about Kawhi Leonard. If you guys are okay with that, he's going back to Toronto. Um, and we're gonna decide uh which players of the decades are the best players. So I'm gonna get you guys. We might open it, we might open up the floodgates with that one. But before we
But before we get to any of that stuff, we do need to address something that happened on our last episode. OP had some strong words for Tracy McGrady and T Mac apparently heard every One of them. I didn't get a situated OP. So uh let's discuss that. So Tracy McGrady saying that winning a regular season MVP could mean more to a player than winning a championship. OP, you called that something from the book of things that losers say. Uh T Mac responded on uh threads or somewhere on social media, OP, you ran sprints for 15 years. F-O-H, which we found out means. Fuck outta here.
Uh OP the floor is yours. Okay. So first of all T-Mac, never did I say anything about your skill set or your talent. Hall of Fame player, okay? But I'm gonna tell you something right now, and I hope you're listening. For you to criticize my fifteen years or seventeen well, seventeen years, fifteen seasons, whatever, okay, that's where the disrespect comes. Because I never disrespected you. What I said was, and the things losers say was a joke, but You said something that was asinine and I was you know, and so I counted with that. But never talked about your skill set, but I'm gonna tell you something right now. Nowhere, no how in the history of this world has an any kid rolled up a piece of paper, looked at the wastebasket and said, T Mac.
No. They say Kobe All right. People like that. You're not on that level. You could be a Hall of Fame. Like I said, in everything there are levels. There's a bunch of bums in the Hall of Fame. Okay, that don't b belong, don't deserve it. There's a lot of, you know, mediocrity in the hall of fame. Again, I tried not to be critical of you at all. But now that you've opened up this can, oh, it's on. Cause nobody lasts 15 years running sprints. Oh
P, when you first saw him write that, did it make you laugh or did it bother you? It pissed me.
Me off because I never criticize his skills. Yeah. I never talked about him. I just took the topic and said rings versus MVP. I have a right to say that. All of us do. Which one is more valuable? Here's his The MVP, so be it. And I responded also, said, you know, when he talked about my my s you know, my game. I could have been selfish like him. You know, I could have been that type of play. I I averaged twenty points in college. Yeah. I could have scored. I chose to be a team guy. So don't come at me because I promise you this. I told you before T Mac, I ain't got shit to cancel. Okay, I'm not an NBC. You're gonna be limited on what you can do and say. But not me. Not me. Because I can come at your head. We can talk about Toronto with you sitting under damn bench pulling splinters at your ass.
So leave me alone, dude. Leave
me alone. I'm gonna ask one last question. Do you wanna take anything back that you said?
About What's more valuable between MVP and any championships? That's all I like. Okay. He needs to go sit with them other bums on social media that want to critique me and everything else. Because and I you guys know me. I try to be so respectful to everybody. Because I believe if you played in the NBA, you deserve respect.
