Cousins with Vince Carter & Tracy McGrady

Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady sit down to revisit the moment chaos broke out during the 2003 USA qualifiers against Puerto Rico. They relive what led T-Mac to taunt his opponent, how VC was ready to jump in, and why that 2003 team could have been one of the best USA rosters ever assembled.

The cousins also debate whether Michael Jordan was robbed of an MVP during the 1986–87 season and whether the award should go to the best player in the league or the best player on the best team. They also break down why teams should be worried about the 76ers heading into the playoffs.

Plus, Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady have exciting news for the fans!
