{NBA 2K11} T-Mac [Reborn]Chapter 1, Game 1

[Cruzerr]

Tracy McGrady was one of the most talented players to set foot into the NBA. But for his sake, the reason why he will not be in the Hall Of Fame and would not have a ring is simple - his injuries. But what If he would not been injuried and would step up as one of the greater players ? This is his story from the beginning.

Some Stats :

* Starts from the Raptors when he was drafted

* Using NBA 2K11

* Rosters are from today, not from the past

* 29 game season

Good luck, so you will put T-Mac in Raptors and play 10-11 season?

Valdis, Yeah, youth him up and up his overall so he aint injuried. If there only was a roster of 1997 or smt

Day 1

Woke up in the morning like 9.30. My head was still banging and the alcohol stench was all over me. Took a quick shower, when I already got a call from Tony : " Tracy, whats the hold up ? We would suppose to pick you up at 10, its 10.15 already ! We gone be late if you don't hurry up !" Then it hit me, it was draft day. Quickly put my suit on and went downstairs. It did not surprise me, as I saw him with 2 women and a limo. " Ladies, this is my man Tracy, the guy who is going to make me famous." Too be honest, Tony brags more than he talks. I am not making him famous, this is all about me,not him.

We arrived at the arena and it was full of people. My head was even worse than it was before, but I had to hold my cool. Saw John Wall and talked to him for a moment. " Hey John, what did we do last night ? " I had a feeling that nothing good happened. " Dude, you was sooo wasted. Everybody were pretty sober but you were dancing on the table." I got so embarrassed and left him to talk to with Turner and tried to find my table. It was right at the front, so that was easy to find. Tony was there but I did not see my mom, which I kinda felt bad about.

The draft started and unsurprisingly, Wall was the top pick. That guy is a menace when it comes to basketball. After him was Turner, which I was stunned about. I thought I would be number 2 but no. Tony hit me in the head " Dude, why you aint second? " That question was so dumb that I turned around and waited for my pick. Then it came, number 9 by the Toronto Raptors. I was so nervous I slipped on the stairway. Good I did not fall.

After the draft, it was party time, but I did not feel like it. Tony however was stoked : "Heey, lets party ! My man Grady gonna kill all of you in the NBA. " I sent him to the club and took a cab to the hotel. Although, how weird it was, I saw Jay Triano in front of the hotel.
" So Tracy, why are you not partying ? "
" My head hurts, Coach. I don't feel like it. Its been a tough day."
" Well, your in the NBA, so its going to get harder. Training starts tomorrow at 10 AM. "
" Already ?!?"
" Like I said, this is the NBA."

Day 2

I went to the training hall and it was PACKED. I went to the locker room and there it was, my number 1 shirt. One has always been my favorite number, it somehow shows me that I am the best. I did not even get to change my clothes, when some dude started to shake hands with me.
" Hey, Tracy right ? "
" Yeah, Its me, whos asking ? "
" Ha, calm down. Its me, DeRozan. Im the Shooting Guard of this team."
" Aa, OK. Nice to meet you DeRozan. "
" Please, call me Demar. So, you was a number 9 pick ? So was I !"
I really did not enjoy talking to him, but he did not seem like a bad guy.
" Yeah, I was. "
" Alright, I wont bother you. Practice already starts in five minutes. "

The training was nothing like it was before. This was some hard workout. I was so tired in the end that I wanted to collapse. Luckily, ten minutes before the end, Jay wanted to talk to me.
" Hey Trace, get over here ! "
" Whats up coach ? "
" So how you feeling in the NBA ? Feel the pressure ? "
" Yeah coach, I have never felt something like this."
" Well, I wanted to talk to you about your first game, your going to debut in the game against Denver. You wont be a starter, but I will sub you off the bench for some time, deal ?"
I wanted to scream and yell about my position, but it was my first game.
" Yeah, alright. "
" Good, now go hit the showers. "

Game 1 against the Nuggets



I had some huge butterflys in my stomach. Jay did tell me that the suspense would be big, but this was much larger then I expected. He gave me a few pointers before the game, just like a coach should. I was anxious to get on to the floor and start the season winning, and that we did. We won the game 95-87. Here is how I played :

First Half

I came in the 4 minutes left for the end of it. I felt confident and hit the ground running, blocking J.R Smiths ball from the start. My team mates helped me a lot. On the fast break, Calderon gave me the ball and I hit a fadeaway three in Feltons face, my first points in the NBA. I saw my mom watching the game, which I was happy about as I pointed to her. I gave an assists and took 2 rebounds also. At the end of the quarter, I got the ball and put a nasty dunk on Nene, finishing the quarter with the lead.

Second quarter I felt better and stronger. I scored some points and took a few rebounds but did not do anything flashy. Got 2 minutes of play and the coach took me out. We were controlling that quarter, as Barbosa was on fire, hitting 14 of his what.. 18 points ? Barg had 10 points and 10 rebounds already in the end of the half.


Here I am on the Bench. As I said, my first points in the NBA.


A vicious dunk on Nene. Celebrating my first points, pointing out to the crowd and my mom.

Second Half

I did not play the third quarter. Coach did not want to play me and I respect that. He is still the coach. I am happy that I got some minutes in the first half and the team was still leading, even though the third was total Nuggets domination.

But I got some play in the fourth and I was ready to prove myself. Already in the start I blocked J.R Smith again and got the ball in the fast, dunking on Nene again. I was really solid, getting some rebounds and putting some points on the board. I hit a crazy crossover on Afflalo and faded away for a quick 3. J.R was not the only one getting blocked, as I blocked Lawson too. At the end, I was quite happy to finish my game with a victory, and the fans gave the team and me - well mostly me - a huge cheering. I know now that Raptors is a great team to start my career.


Another Block on J.R. I had only 2 dunks, both on Nene.


But I did get 3 blocks, one of them on Lawson. Fist-bumping on my debut victory.
