The Young Man and the Three

Tracy McGrady & Bun B Take Us Through Their Legendary NBA and Hip-Hop Careers


Listen Later

On this week’s episode we welcome two Houston icons: NBA legend Tracy McGrady and rap legend Bun B. They open the conversation with Bun B sharing the story of starting his extremely successful burger restaurant, Trill Burgers, and the importance of his relationships from the music industry. Then T-Mac shares why he was drawn to Houston and then takes us through the beginning of his NBA career with the Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic. He then shares anecdotes from facing the stars of his era including Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, and more. Bun B also shares why it’s such a unique time of ownership in the present day for music artists, and his thoughts on timeless hits he’s been involved in such as ‘Int’l Players Anthem’ and ‘Big Pimpin.’’ McGrady then recalls the whole sequence of his famous 13 points points in 33 seconds against the Spurs and his thoughts on the championship teams of his era before sharing his thoughts on the current NBA, including on Rockets head coach Ime Udoka, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and more. It’s a fantastic episode. Let’s go.
