Big ups to T-Mac for his induction to the HOF! Also extended congrats to former NY Liberty center Rebecca Lobo and current Kansas coach Bill Self.

Man, he was a blast to watch. Easily one of the most dominant all around ball players in his prime. Really wish he could have stayed healthy and played longer. Also wish he hadn't forced his way out of Orlando. Him and Dwight could have been fun to watch together.

I am not sure if in the NBA you go in with a certain team or not. If so, I hope it is Orlando

My favorite all time magic player. I cannot name another magic player I claimed to be more proud of than tmac. The most dominant player on the magic thsy I have ever witnessed to the fullest.

This, I know he left several years earlier, but imagine if he was on the team that played the Lakers in the Finals. TMac might have a championship.

Well, that begs the question, should we retire his jersey? The best career days of a hall of fame player were with this organisation, surely that ticks the boxes right?

One of my favorite players of all time. He was literally putting the team on his back night in and out until it became too much. I also wish he would have stuck it out with Dwight and Jameer. Love T-Mac and happy that he got voted into the Hall of Fame...Congrats!

My favorite player of all time. He is the reason I am a magic fan to this day. He just made scoring look so easy when he was playing. It's a shame we couldn't have surrounded him with better talent.

What's the bet he chooses to go in as a Rocket?

And Penny needs to be in too.

He was easily the best player in the game as a member of the Magic. That's right, better than Kobe and Duncan! He carried absolutely dreadful teams to the playoffs. You could argue those were the worst teams in Magic history and he still won. Congrats, T-Mac! It's a shame you lost patience with us, you could've have led us to a ring. Oh well, just another what if with our franchise.

I don't have a problem with him going in as a rocket. This organization hasn't honored him the way they should have, so there is no reason for him to give two **** about us. Maybe if we had, I don't know, retired his number, he'd go in as a member of the magic? But we are way too good to honor all time greats, so that's what we get.

Congrats to T-Mac. I'm quite sure he'll enter the HOF as a Rocket. I'm not sure anyone will ever enter the HOF as a member of the Magic. Maybe Dwight, if he ever gets there.
