Tracy might have, in effect, been the hardest matchup. He could do?just about everything on offense. He could go either direction and?shoot or drive, he could post up and shoot over his left and right?shoulders, and he was long and tall. From that standpoint, I would?try to disrupt his flow by pinpointing his aggressive moments and?taking those away from him.

On nights I had to cover Tracy, I tried to figure out what would?make him uncomfortable, which was getting underneath him and?being physical with his legs. I’d get deep into his legs, his back—?which I knew he had particular insecurities about—his hips, and?make him uneasy. The goal was to suffocate him and take away any?daylight he might have to score.
