Former NBA All-Star Tracy McGrady wants to make a comeback and would like to sign with Kobe Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers.

It’s been two and a half season since Tracy McGrady played in an NBA game but the former 7-time NBA All-Star says he still has it and can play at a high level.

That seems to be a bit of wishful thinking from TMac, but the guard/forward who most recently played abroad believes he could help an NBA team in need, specifically the Los Angeles Lakers.

“The thing is, I can still go, man,” McGrady says. “My body is still in shape. I can go. It’s about opportunity, though. … I want no limits on who I am and what I can do, not stand in the corner and shoot jump shots,” he says. “I want to be involved, that’s not saying 10 to 15 shots, I want to be involved. I don’t want to stand in the corner and shoot threes. That’s not me.”

TMac says the Lakers are his ideal team and that he’d serve as a great complimentary star to Kobe Bryant.

“This Kobe,” he says. “I could play with him.”

While Tracy McGrady floundered through the final few seasons of what was believed to be the end of his NBA career, most of that was due to a multitude of injuries that TMac now says are gone.

Still, after being away for so long and not being an effective player in nearly a decade, it’s hard to imagine any team (let alone the Lakers) giving Tracy McGrady even a sniff.

He’s not the only former All-Star who express an interest in a comeback as Gilbert Arenas and Baron Davis both suggested they wanted to return to the NBA this past offseason, but neither was given even the slightest bit of interest.

Sadly, it’s likely the same for McGrady.
