Everyone has their own way to prepare for battle. Well Tracy McGrady is using an “imitating” method to help his team prepare for the series against the Heat. Ok T-Mac, let’s see what you got! Report after the jump…

Heading into the 2013 Finals, McGrady took on the role of simulating LeBron James in practice to help his team prepare for the best-of-seven series against the Miami Heat.
“That was before this series even started, just simulating a little bit of what LeBron does on the basketball court,” said McGrady, whose Spurs lead the best-of-seven series 2-1.
“I’m just doing the best I can and contributing in whatever fashion I can for this team to prepare themselves to win a championship.”
Tracy McGrady’s last 28-6-5 season came nine years ago, and with the Spurs, he’s limited to garbage-time minutes. I’m not sure how much he can really resemble LeBron anymore – and if he can, he should be playing more – but in typical Spurs fashion, everyone has a role to help the team.
