"I told some of the guys that I am going to get a strikeout before I stop playing. I got it in the second inning. Thank you Jesus."

He quit on the Rockets and now he quit on the Skeeters.

I still like McGrady. I wish that things could have been different for the Yao/McGrady era, but I'll always appreciate what they brought to the table.

Good for him, not many people get to play NBA and minor league baseball, he lived his dream.

Not necessary, we don't need this to start again.

Because nobody gets tortured like McGrady did, there comes a time when enough is enough for a guy no longer playing in the NBA.

You can bag the ones that are playing now and receiving hundreds of millions for doing so much less.

That was certainly an efficient piece of movie making. Not a single frame wasted.

The final fight scene is like, 5-10 minutes from my parents' pad. It was kind of unreal.
