Asked by ClutchPoints about his conversation with Karl-Anthony Towns, McGrady expanded on the “like basketball players” comment. He made clear at the New York tryouts for his Ones Basketball league that he views shepherding the next generation of athletes as part of the role of former players. “It’s not just him, I mean, we a fraternity. So if I see that one of our players is going through something, it’s up to us to lean on him and help him get out of that rut that he’s in. Regardless of if it’s KAT, or if it’s Jalen Brunson going through something, if it’s Mikal Bridges, it doesn’t matter. It’s just, KAT is the focal point right now,” McGrady told reporters in midtown Manhattan.
