T-mac . Review on Tracy McGrady

His full name is tracy lamar mcgrady born on may 24 1979 in florida. He currently plays for houston rockets, before he was in the orlando magic and the toronto raptors. He got nickname t-mac because of his dunking abilities, and when he made 60 points against toronto in the year 2002. The game was 90 points and tracy mcgrady made 60 points, while he made 60 points his other teamates only made 30 points.

He plays shooting guard or small forward and one of the first players who went from high school straight to the nba, without attending college. He crated national news after his performance in adidas abcd camp, which is for the best high school players camp. He was drafted ninth in the first round of the 1997 nba draft by the toronto raptors. Chicago bulls general manager jerry krause wanted already arranged scottie pipen to go to toronto raptors and instead get tracy mcgrady on the chicago bulls, but michael jordan threatened to retire, if t-mac had come to the bulls so the deal went off.

Vince carter who currently plays for the new jersey nets is t-mac's cousin and both started out as toronto raptors. mcgrady and carter were the two main comptetors for the 2000 slam dunk contest, where vince carter was the winner and tracy came in second. The young team duo of carter and mcgrady led the raptors into their first playoff appearence in the 2000 playoffs, but they lost to the new york knicks in the first round.

His real career took off when he went to the orlando magic, and in the year 2000, 2001 when the most valuable player award and was selected as a starter for the all star game. In the year 2002 and 2003 he captured the nba scoring title averaging 32.1 points a game. He had an nba season high 62 points against washington wizards on march 10 2004, with this kind of performance he became only the 4th player in the past 12 years to score over 60 points in a game. Unfortunetly mcgrady had some problems with the general manager of the orlando magic and went of to houston rockets.

In the season 2004-2005 t-mac was now in the houston rockets team, along with their another top player yao ming. Mcgrady continued to have problems with the rockets coach jef van gundy and continued to only make around 18 or 19 points a game, but that all changed when on december 9th 2004 mcgrady scored 13 points in the last 35 seconds of the game against san antonio spurs. The rockets won by 1 point. This was one of the greatest games in nba history especially the last 35 minutes.

In the season 2005,2006 it's not a good season for t-mac, he been injured several times and have missed around 30 games, the houston rockters are having tough times without him on the court. Houston might not make playoffs this year.

t-mac is one of the greatest dunkers of all time, vince carter is the best dunker but t-mac tries to match with him everytime.
