Tracy McGrady, also known as T-Mac, is best known for his 16-year NBA career as a shooting guard and small forward from 1997 to 2013. McGrady, 45, is a seven-time NBA All-Star, seven-time All-NBA selection, and two-time NBA scoring champion. He won the NBA Most Improved Player Award in 2001. He was also inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017.

McGrady recently made a bold prediction about Dallas Mavericks Point Guard Luka Doncic before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season. McGrady’s prediction echoed the sentiments of Mavericks fans, who would like to see Doncic, 25, win the NBA MVP for the first time. Read on for further details.

Tracy McGrady Didn’t Hesitate In Prediction

Tracy McGrady didn’t hesitate in his prediction about Luka Doncic ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season. McGrady had Doncic at the top of his NBA MVP list, despite the public’s high expectations of the Mavericks following the Mavericks’ epic journey to the 2024 NBA Finals.

McGrady told Bolavip, “I’m gonna go based off the season he had last year, leading his team to the (NBA) Finals. I think coming back this year, he’s gonna be even hungrier … I look at a guy like Luka Doncic that I feel will be this year’s MVP. A guy that leads his team in a lot of categories.

“Point guard for his team, facilitator for his team, scorer for his team … He’s a guy that I think every year coming into the NBA season, you can always consider him as an MVP candidate. But I think coming into this season, it’ll be Luka Doncic’s MVP to lose.”

McGrady Commented On Offseason

Tracy McGrady recently commented on the Dallas Mavericks’ 2024 NBA offseason, including the Mavericks’ acquisition of Klay Thompson. Thompson, 34, played for the Golden State Warriors as a shooting guard from 2011 to 2024. He won four NBA championships in 13 years.

According to Bolavip, McGrady said, “I think Dallas is gonna be a very good team, adding Klay Thompson … So, I look for Dallas to do some big things. Possibly seeing them back in the Finals, with Luka (Doncic) being this year’s MVP.”

Luka Doncic Shared Excitement Of Arrival

Luka Doncic recently shared his excitement about Klay Thompson’s arrival in Dallas, Texas. Thompson reportedly joined the Dallas Mavericks to start a new chapter for Year 14 in the NBA. Doncic was ecstatic about Thompson’s arrival in Dallas and shooting skills for the Mavericks.

Bolavip reported that Doncic talked about Thompson’s arrival, “Unbelievable … He’s a four-time champion, an amazing player, so I was very excited when he signed with us. I can’t wait to play with him.” Doncic added, “You basically can’t help off him. When me and (Kyrie Irving) have the ball, you can’t leave Klay (Thompson) open because if you do, he’s going to make the shot. The spacing he creates is going to be huge for us.”
