Tracy McGrady
He was a two time NBA scoring champion; He was named the 2001 NBA Most Improved Player
McGrady's journey to the NBA began when he was selected as the ninth overall pick by the Toronto Raptors in the 1997 NBA Draft, straight out of high school. Initially, he played limited minutes, but his talent quickly became evident, and he formed a dynamic duo with his cousin, Vince Carter. In 2000, McGrady made a pivotal move to the Orlando Magic, where he blossomed into one of the league's top players. His time in Orlando saw him become a perennial MVP candidate, and he led the league in scoring during the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 seasons. His ability to take over games with his scoring and playmaking made him one of the most feared players in the NBA.
In 2004, McGrady was traded to the Houston Rockets, where he teamed up with Yao Ming to form one of the most formidable duos in the league. Together, they helped the Rockets become a consistent playoff contender, although injuries to both players often hampered their postseason success. McGrady's time in Houston was marked by memorable performances, including his legendary 13 points in 33 seconds to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in 2004. However, injuries began to take a toll on his career, and his later years in the NBA were plagued by physical setbacks, limiting his effectiveness on the court.
After leaving the NBA, McGrady briefly played in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) with the Qingdao DoubleStar Eagles and had a short stint with the San Antonio Spurs before retiring in 2013. Post-retirement, McGrady transitioned into a successful career as a basketball analyst for ESPN. In 2014, he also pursued a childhood dream of playing professional baseball, pitching for the Sugar Land Skeeters in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. McGrady's legacy as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history remains intact, and his influence on the game continues to be felt by the next generation of players.
