    Which San Antonio Spurs short-timer made HoopsHype’s greatest NBA players at No. 76?

    While most fans of the team do not tend to think of his (incredibly brief) tenure with the San Antonio Spurs , for a total of 12 postseason contests at the end of his career, Hall of Fame wing Tracy McGrady was a Spur. And that history lets San Antonio claim the player that our sister site HoopsHype has ranked at No. 76 overall on their 78 greatest NBA players of all time list.

    His lack of postseason success before he linked up with the Spurs in 2013 hurt his overall standing in this ranking, however. “A more impressive playoff career (he never made it out of the first round in his prime) could have greatly changed where Tracy McGrady finished in this ranking, as could have more longevity,” writes HoopsHype.

    “But at his peak, McGrady was one of the most explosive and productive do-everything wings in basketball, one who would have dominated in the modern NBA,” they add.

    Maybe if he had joined San Antonio a little sooner, he might not be on the fringes of this list. We kid, but only a little.
