Tracy McGrady’s career never brought him a title — like many greats who make it into the Hall of Fame — but a spot in the Hall is worth a lot to the retired player. Here’s what he said late last week according to Masslive.com:

“Social media can give a lot of people voices these days, and the first thing they say is ‘No rings, no rings,'” McGrady said on Friday, in an appearance at the Hall of Fame’s 60 Days of Summer Program. “You have to have a great team and some luck to get a ring, right? Unfortunately, I wasn’t blessed with that. But I go back at them with this: Anybody can win a championship. Everybody can’t get in the Hall of Fame.”

A few days later, it seems that J.R. Smith read those comments has taken them, well, personally.

McGrady, of course, is wrong when he says that anyone can win a championship — as he comes close to mentioning a sentence earlier it requires a combination of luck, a good general manager and a team that stays healthy and clicks at the right time.

As for his response to Smith? Well, he hasn’t tweeted in a few years so it will have to wait until his HOF speech. Or his next appearance on ESPN. This, for what it’s worth, is his last tweet:
