Pour out a little faygo to MJ in advance


KOBE WAS WAY HARDER TO GUARD (http://www.tmz.com/2013/08/22/tracy-mcgrady-kobe-bryant-tougest-to-guard-nba/)
EXCLUSIVE
http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/08/21/082113-tracy-mcgrady-launch-2.jpg (http://www.tmz.com/videos/0_j1hnlxda)At least one NBA star is willing to say it -- Kobe Bryant is a much tougher opponent than his airness, Michael Jordan was ... at least according to Tracy McGrady. (Pause for lightning bolts)

McGrady was responding to Kobe's recent comment that T-Mac was the hardest player he ever had to guard -- so, we expected him to throw a little praise back at Kobe.

But watch his comments at LAX -- McGrady wasn't just being nice ... and actually went out of his way to say it's "not even close" who his toughest assignment was on the court.

Remember, McGrady checked Jordan during MJ's final title run in Chicago ... when he was still making players look foolish.

So, Kobe over MJ? Tracy said it ... not us.

Kobe always made T-Mac a bitch whenever they matched up, tbh.

prime kobe vs TOSB retired twice jordan. cool story.

[Michael Jordan.]

It's easy to see why he said that when brokeback never played any defense :lol

[Rogue]

Mr. 7'6 always did a good job against DH but always sucked against the type of guys like Boozer and Ericka, but you can't say the prime DH < Boozer or Dampier imho.

[Leetonidas]

So old MJ who mostly dominated with his turnaround fadeaways wasn't as hard to guard as one of the most elite offensive players ever in his prime? cool story bro
