LOS ANGELES – JANUARY 7: Tracy McGrady
LOS ANGELES – JANUARY 7: Tracy McGrady /

Down by 12 points in the last 33 seconds of a very important game, Tracy McGrady proved to the NBA that he was not from this planet.

On December 9th, 2004, Tracy McGrady proved anything was possible before the famous Kevin Garnett speech had ever transpired. McGrady saw a 12 point deficit against the Spurs with 33 seconds left, and countered it with one of the craziest performances in sports history.

I could write pages about this ending, but just trust me and watch the highlights.
