Tracy Lamar McGrady Jr (born May 24, 1979, in
Bartow, Florida) is an American professional
basketball player, currently positioned at starting
shooting guard for the Houston Rockets in the
National Basketball Association (NBA). He is
commonly referred to as "T-Mac," and he can also
play the small forward position.
Entering the league after graduating from high
school, McGrady eventually became a seven-time
All-Star. He led the league in scoring in 2003 and
2004. He spent the first seven years of his career
with the Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic before
being traded to the Houston Rockets in 2004. McGrady
was ranked #75 on SLAM magazine's Top 75 NBA Players
of All Time in 2003. McGrady has never advanced to
the second round of the playoffs in his ten
year-career despite his six trips to the playoffs:
one with the Toronto Raptors, three with the Orlando
Magic and two with the Houston Rockets. McGrady's
style of play has been compared to that of George
Gervin.
