Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady were really good friends, as they played the same position on the court, were incredible scorers and had impressive abilities with the basketball.
During the many duels they had on the court and the links they shared, Bryant and McGrady developed a good friendship that took them to travel on several occasions, trying to have fun during the offseason.
There was a time when Kobe and T-Mac went to Disneyland, and Bryant tried to get McGrady on a rollercoaster, but the former Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets player wasn’t very interested in that. Kobe still convinced him to go, but they had very different experiences.
While Kobe enjoyed the ride, McGrady was the complete opposite, revealing to Jermaine O’Neal years later that he wanted to ‘choke’ Kobe after they got off the roller coaster.
“Kobe had me so mad one time, we were at Disney World, in Paris. I just finished eating. He wanted to get on a rollercoaster. I don’t want to get on a roller coaster, I don’t like rollercoasters. This man kept begging me to get on this roller coaster… Bruh, I got on there and man, I wanted to choke the sh*t outta Kob after we got out there! I was so sick bro, I was done for the whole day!”
This story was told by Kobe once when they both talked with Rachel Nichols on ESPN, but McGrady shared more details later, explaining how bad it was for him.
Kobe Bryant Used To Play Mind Games With Tracy McGrady
It seems like vacations were Kobe’s favorite time to mess with McGrady. He once claimed T-Mac was a tough matchup for him, which is why Kobe tried to take advantage of every opportunity he had against his friend.
One time, the Black Mamba told McGrady to relax and not hit the gym during the summer because that would be a waste of time. McGrady didn’t think that was right, and he came to the gym only to find Kobe working out.
That’s how their relationship was, and it left so many memories for them and those who knew them. Unfortunately, Kobe isn’t in this world anymore, but the story he wrote was so incredible, and whenever we talk about him, something great comes up. In this case, his desire to have fun was too much for one of his friends, but they ended up with a huge anecdote.
