T-Mac在出戰Orlando Magic時說:「I have to admit that I didn't always play the best for the team(Magic). The audiences are not here for the team, but for me. T-mac is the team for them. It has always been a pressure to force myself play the game, which is not enjoyable. And that's why I got tired. But I have to say that I'm sorry that didn't always play the best for Magic.」
小麥說當初觀眾只把焦點放在他身上,隊友也希望看到他得分,他感受不到球賽的樂趣,小麥的壓力也是應該被同情的吧
