These younger kids don't know how dangerous this man was on those old 2K games. From like 2K2 to like 2K9 he was a bucket, a walking 40. He was fast as hell, he could dribble, he could shoot from wherever and he could dunk on everybody. He was like a created player.

T-Mac was so damn good in his prime. During that mini-era that lacked superstars, after Jordan's reign with the Bulls ended and before LeBron started his reign, T-Mac was another superstar that the NBA desperately needed. You had Kobe with the Lakers, Iverson the Sixers, Kidd with the Nets, and then there was T-Mac with the Magic (note: I'm probably missing some stars).

@@darkskinglory899 A whole bunch of centers could take Dwight, MJ could take Kobe, KD, Bird or Dr. J could take T-Mac offensively and Pippen could contain him defensively. Kawhi would be a tough match up for him on both ends. Tim Duncan or Karl Malone could take KG Magic may not be able to guard LeBron 1 on 1, but he would be a better floor general for his team. The guys he listed would have no chemistry together because LeBron, T-mac and Kobe cannot play off ball. Kobe would likely assert himself as the alpha because he is (was) the most strong-willed of the three, but the team would not be successful against a more carefully built team. Magic, MJ and Pippen would better because Magic would be the playmaker, MJ the scorer and Pippen the lock down defender who does not need the ball in his hands much. There has to be hierarchy for a team to be successful; players need to know and accept their roles.
